Hey there!


Today we're having another meal of randomness, this time in the form of a multilaptrack. :p
First I have to ask for your help though. I'm having an issue with playing trackmania 2 online. Everytime I play online, I keep getting these small lagspikes every 5-15 seconds. I've googled it, no help. I've checked my game settings and they seemed allright. I don't have this problem while playing solo. Having these lag spikes annoy the heck out of me and I can't really do a good time with this. :'( All the help is appreciated. =p

Yay, a screenshot!

This track here. To put my feelings into words, at first I hated it, then I had fun with it. Then I stopped having fun with it. Just like that. Well to be honest, when I saw the screenshot I was thinking, this must be one of the simplest tracks so far, and judging by that, not too good either. But you know what they say about judging things by the looks. Don't.

Moral lessons aside, the track actually was what I thought it would be. My first few runs I kept crashing and rolling all over the place. And hitting the walls too. I didn't feel too good. I was almost angry, but that might have something to do with today's attempts to race online with the lagspikes from hell, so I decided to keep my feelings in order.
After this I started liking the track a bit, the first long curve to the right flows actually quite brilliantly. But that's pretty much all I enjoyed in this map. Well, the "minimalistic" scenery looks quite cool. It really felt like I was racing a track in the middle of a desert. Really. =p

The rest of the track was a bit like eating a bread that doesn't taste like anything. It was boring. And the last curve was way too tight. It made me " :@ " after I messed up a lot of times there. (Then I heard my inner Jedi Master saying "patience my young padawan, peace is the path to travel" :| ) Eventually I succeeded to make a clean run of 3 laps. And while I made a completely crappy run, I defeated the author time. Not too much effort on it apparently.

Now now, anyone reading this, or not, should go and race themselves the world record to this track. Would be a great thing to see actually :p It feels like the community is way too small considering the amount of tracks :|
That's all for now, keep racing ya'll ;)
I'm out. I mean, I'm still here but... You know :cool:


P.S. Oh. Yeah. Monstercat media released their latest collection album, which actually happens to be #10 (like my blog here, woohooo :d ). This calls for a brilliant song from it :p Rundfunk - A Dream

P.S.S. Look at the small dude go =p
