I've been told it comes from the old American expression "I could care less about what you think.. but I don't know how", which would mean it does make sense.
I've seen this a couple of times. Is this a weird phrase to people outside the US or something? I never thought if it as such.
It should be I couldn't care less.

It's so rampantly misused here that you might think it's actually correct. "I couldn't care less" - meaning I care so little that I couldn't possibly care less. "I could care less" makes no sense whatsoever.
Oh I get it now. I didn't know if the phrase itself
Was weird. Just the grammar was off. Couldn't care less does make more sense.
Anyway I'm glad Empty Box shared that. I watch both him and ISR and won't stop watching just because of this but it sure is interesting. Sim Racing is such a small, passionate community compared to other gaming ones that I feel it's a bit counterintuitive to really fight amongst ourselves. I get why some people need to be humbled a bit though.

Very interesting... I think that's a much better way of going about things. Certainly it's more in line with how paid games work today. I think that'd prove very popular, and ultimately make them more money.
Also Steam.
I don't see iRacing having much, if any integration, but that's not particularly important. People are comfortable trusting Valve with their money, and of course there's a ton of exposure from being on Steam. It should be a big help to iRacing.
Wow at Darin's comment (second from the top)... What a fucking baby

It is rather sad/pathetic to see this mini-drama between unfold in public however it does confirm what many people have said about Darin which sucks too as ISR was the first channel I stumbled across back in the day.
If Darin is burnt out as Jason states I wouldn't be surprised. I have firsthand accounts from another person who also runs a website and YT channel (ironically ISR have mentioned him on many occasions) and single biggest issue is a lack of help; YT provides a tonne of problems too. It doesn't excuse the idiotic posts from Darin; the man needs to give the keyboard a rest for a while.
In other news:
Dev team working hard, build machines are spinning in the office and the test team is putting in great mileage in the latest build they received earlier today.
But even with the combined effort of everybody, we feel we are not there just yet. We have some very important testing left to be done, and we need positive results on those before being able to release it to you.
We ask for a little bit of extra patience, but know we are not planning to extend the wait much longer.
Tomorrow (Wednesday the 10th) is now booked as the day for the big RaceRoom Racing Experience update.
Cross you finger and see you on track tomorow!

HOLY SHIEEET, IT WORKS!!! My beautiful wide screen... *¬*If you have RBR there's two things you absolutely need
RBR FixUP (widescreen fix and more) http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/fixup-plugin-support.49275/
and RSRBR 2014 http://www.rallyesim.fr/
RSRBR takes a little bit of effort to install but man, I can't imagine playing the game without it.
Hope this helps!
Thank you, brother!
I'll try to install the RSRBR on the weekend. Thanks again, bro!
That's pretty sad.
Boy, that's still hard to watch.
Again: grown ass men acting like they're running around their middle school playground.

Wow, that was quite a 'handbags at dawn' video. I haven't followed the ISR timeline closely; what caused this?
Yeah, it's funny cause it's true.
So is not having a sense of humor.

They said it's because they don't deserve the Simbin name anymore.

It's part of the fallout from the 2013 Daytona 2.4 (iRacing) that kvk1 was referring to. Darin had a meltdown during the race, got ripped for it on the forums, and then had another meltdown over being ripped.

Can't wait to try this singleplayer RaceRoom update today. I'm assuming it'll have a price tag, yeah? Isn't there some big ffb update too? Is it all wrapped up together?

Can anyone suggest the best sim to start with as the owner of a driving force gt. Looking to get into this but seems a lot of options. Looking for great racing without the idiots!
Are you like completely green in terms of the racing sim genre? What's your racing game experience and general skill level?
A lot of the 'idiots' online aren't really idiots, they're just completely inexperienced and are getting in over their heads. Online sim racing isn't a more casual experience like Call of Duty or something. You really gotta know your basics and at the very least, have a decent working knowledge of racing lines, racing etiquette and the tracks you'll be racing on. Its more for other people's benefit, cuz if you don't know what you're doing, you'll not only do badly yourself, but you'll likely mess up other people's races in the process too, which isn't fun for anybody(well, there are some....).
I think if you want to get your feet wet, Game Stock Car and Assetto Corsa are probably the best, 'buy it once, buy it all' racing sims right now. I've heard rFactor 2 is quite good in certain ways(I haven't tried it yet personally), but does have something of a subscription model if you want to do online racing. And of course, iRacing is completely subscription-based and pricey, but its also several tiers above the others in terms of its online racing structure and lack of idiots(there will always be idiots in any racing game with free multiplayer).
EDIT: And now I'm reading right above that iRacing have included a very basic free-to-play model. That's quite a departure. While that sounds great on-paper, I do think that also means you're going to get a bunch of people who, because they have no money invested in it, just fuck around and don't take it seriously and create a lot of incidents. Even the paid-for subscriptions in iRacing have their share of awful drivers at the beginner level.

get assetto corsa, slapper. let's race imola in gt3 cars
I do, it's just not funny in the slightest, and its probably part of the reason she left.
Sorry to have offended your delicate senesitivites Mr. White Knight. And lets face it, while it may be the reason she left, it was definitely the reason she was hired. Anyway, carry on.
Wow dude, go back to youtube.
Keep digging.

Should rename this the PC PC sim thread.
There's no harm in what he said, the girl started terribly and never improved. Turn the sound down and watch the boobs.
