Rigged Random Car Extravaganza: Rockstar Games Special!
Come and join us on Wednesday 20th of October at 8 PM British time for the Rigged Random Car Extravaganza: Rockstar Games Special! After accidentally driving the forgotten Seven-70 last week I thought it was only fitting (and time) to see what wacky, fast, slow, stupid cars the game will give us again.

After a meet up in free roam at the tennis courts on Vespucci Beach we will launch into a playlist of races where you will only know what car we will be racing each race when we get to the car selection screen. 

Each class is determined by a random number generator. After this when we are in the car selection screen i will press the 'random car' button and we will all have to drive this car for that race.

We will run GTA races so we can spawn in cars for those who were not able to get to the stock variant in time.

Strictly Ballroom [RSC Film Club 43]
This month's film club selection, nominated by @djw180, is the Australian rom-com Strictly Ballroom, directed by Baz Luhrmann.  This is the first part of an unofficial trilogy, followed by Romeo + Juliet in 1996 and Moulin Rouge in 2001.  


The film sees talented dancer Scott Paul Mercurio) team up with beginner Fran (Tara Morice) as no one else will dance with him due to his unconventional style which has seen him denounced by the Australian Dancing Federation.  I've not seen this before, but having had seen Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge I'm expecting something bold and brash and oozing with style and energy and melodrama.  


i'm not dancing with you 'til you dance like you're supposed to

Citizen Kane [RSC Film Club 42]
The second half of our Oscar special, a winning Best Screenplay film, is the legendary Citizen Kane, arguably the greatest film ever made, easily the most influential.  


When elderly, reclusive billionaire media mogul Charles Foster Kane (Orson Welles) dies in his palatial estate, dogged reporter Jerry Thompson (William Alland) sets out to discover the meaning behind his enigmatic last word, "Rosebud".  He interviews people who knew him and we get to see Kane's entire life from childhood through to his lonely death.  

This is Orson Welle's debut film, and as well as starring in the lead role he also directed, produced and co-wrote the screenplay with Herman J. Mankiewicz.  Not bad for a 26 year old.  You know this film is good when even its name is used as a synonym for the best, as in "this is the Citizen Kane of online gaming crews".  Nominated for nine Oscars, including three others for Welles (Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor), the Original Screenplay award was its only win.

Crew Challenge 257  – Something Fast & Something Slow
Crew Challenge 257 – Something Fast & Something Slow
We've done a similar challenge to this once before. It's a single player time trial. You pick one fast and one slow car from the lists provided and your do your fastest laps for those on Broughy's test track. But everyone has to pick different cars. Once one player has picked a car, no one else can pick that one. So to work out who is best overall we subtract Broughy's time from your time, add these up for your two cars. Then as usual who ever has the lowest wins.

Example. Say you do your best lap 3s slower than Broughy's time for your fast car you score 3s for that car. For your slow car you are 0.5 s faster than Broughy, you score -0.5s for that. Your overall time is 3 – 0.5 = 2.5 s.

It's basically a handicap system that should allow players in very different cars to compete against each other.

There are two lists of cars taken from Broughy's full data base (https://broughy.com/gta5carsoverview). I have removed quite a few cars so this gets restricted to less commonly used in each class, some others to avoid confusion, some in the mid range and some of the really slow that would be too easy.

 

So just to make clear, you can only pick from the lists below, one 'fast' and one 'slow'.

Once you have made you choice post them here. Then no one else is allowed either of those two cars.

Fargo [RSC Film Club 41]
To celebrate this years Oscars, and Will Smith's mental breakdown, we're rounding out the 'big five' by watching films that won the award for Best Actress and Best Screenplay.  @omarcomin71will be pleased with the results of the Best Actress pick, Frances McDormand's winning performance as Marge Gunderson in the Coen Brother's Fargo, something he's been nominating for months 😉 


A pitch-black crime comedy, McDormand plays the sweet natured yet ruthlessly efficient cop investigating a kidnapping case for car salesman Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy) and a series of murders committed by the psychopathic Gaear Grimsrud (Peter Stomare) and his quick talking partner Carl Showalter (Steve Buscemi).  

One of the Coen Brothers most acclaimed films, this was nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor for William H. Macy.  As well as McDormand's award, the film also won for Best Original Screenplay.


he was a little guy, kinda funny lookin'

The Long Kiss Goodnight [RSC Film Club 40]
This month we are celebrating the long career and extensive filmography of Samuel L. Jackson, the highest grossing actor of all time whose films have made a worldwide total of over 20 billion dollars.  Billion.  The film we'll be watching is the 1996 spy film The Long Kiss Goodnight.


The film stars Geena Davis (whatever happened to her?) as amnesiac teacher Samantha who may have been a spy before she lost her memory.  With the help of our man Jackson as private detective Mitch Henessey she attempts to put together the pieces of her past.  Directed by Renny Harlin (Die Hard 2, Cliffhanger) and written by Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, The Last Action Hero, The Nice Guys) this should turn out to be a fun, fast paced, quippy joyride of an action thriller.  This will be a first time watch for me and I can't wait to check it out.

Crew Challenger 253 – XDBX 8th Anniversary
Crew Challenger 253 – XDBX 8th Anniversary

A 2 player team challenge with a slight difference for this one, all on the theme of the number 8.
One teammate gets 8 kills in free roam in the fastest time (rules apply, see below), the other teammate does time trial on Zmurko's Grapeseed Figure of 8, fastest lap in custom sports classics. To combine these points will be awarded in each event, 15 for 1st, 12 for 2nd, 10 for 3rd, 9 for 4th, 8,7,6 .. etc. So the team score will just be the points for each teammate added together. This does give us chance of a tie, but I think this is fairer then trying to combine the two times directly ion such different events...

Survive the Hunt 3
Survive the Hunt 3

Come and join us in Survive the Hunt, where the aim is to... Well... survive the hunt! Wednesday 2nd of February 20:00 UK time starting from Vespucci Helipad.

What is Survive The Hunt?
Essentially, Survive The Hunt is a freeroam game mode where one player is "hunted" by 8+ other players. There is no radar, HUD or name-tags in order to make this a bit more interesting. While there is no set tactic, the most popular and effective one is for the hunted player to "blend in" with the game AI - either on foot or in a car. This means obeying traffic laws, following the road at an AI-ish pace, stopping at traffic lights etc. The hunters can employ a similar tactic to attempt to locate and then ambush the hunted player. Communication is essential for the hunters to work effectively together.

If you want to see this game mode in action, check out FailRace's YouTube series.

Rules:

Radar, player names & the HUD must be turned off.


All players must stay within the city limits at all times. This area is defined on the map below.


The hunted person has a two minute head-start on the hunters.


Weapons may NOT be used whilst in a vehicle. They can only be used on foot. The idea behind this is that it makes chases a bit more interesting than just head-shotting someone the second they're spotted.


Any type of explosive weapon is banned.


One helicopter is allowed to be used by the hunters. It cannot use any weapons and must not have missiles (to stop cheating using missile lock).


Any type of weaponized or special vehicle is banned as well as any Sports Classic quicker then the Savestra (Like the Retinue Mk II, Viseris & Turismo Classic), all Sports & Supers.


The hunted player may not camp or hide inside buildings, underground areas or in car parks.


They are allowed to briefly stop, but for no longer than a couple of minutes. This does not mean that they are not allowed to drive through road tunnels - they can, as long as they do not stay there for extended periods of time.


The hunted player should not be in the party or voice chat with the hunters.


New Rule 1: The host will give a specific location every few minutes. Time depended on the amount of people attending.


New Rule 2: The Hunted must wear very bright clothes. Preferably the green alien suit if attainable.
