Like Broderbund or On-Line Systems! I was into Geoff Crammond games.
Broderbund or Sierra On-Line would be waaay out of my reach. It'd have to be something dead and buried for 30 years. Something like Imagic or Mastertronic.

Saw the news about Hartranft. Absolutely gutted for him. Get well soon buddy
In other news, when I read that my second thought was for Roczen. I knew that was a team on the table for him, and also with Mumford claiming a similar issue I thought for sure it would take Suzuki off the board for him. Was really surprised to hear that he ended up with them and not a privateer KX from Mitch or the Firepower Honda.

Could it be a 2 year plan with a new bike for 2024? Think I heard or read somewhere that Suzuki was trying to sign AC to a 2 year deal previously this year?

R.I.P. Ken Block. A snowmobile on a steep slope fell back on him. After years of going 90 miles an hour sideways through the woods.

Just like Schumacher or Rene Hofer. The mountains are a dangerous place. RIP Ken

So many die a different way than you'd expect them to. Like Colin McRae in a helicopter, Davey Allison and too many others to plane crashes. Been thinking of Mirra too.

Dafuq? Ken Block, Jeff Beck, Lisa Marie Presley and Robbie Knievel all died in pretty quick succession! 'Tis the season?
Never heard about this guy except for when searching for Beck movies. Beck is a Swedish movie-series about a criminal investigator. Only time I've ever seen him show up... From the context I've gathered, he was a musician.

He sure was! Not to be confused with Beck (Beck Hansen) who sang Loser and Devils Haircut etc. Jeff Beck was in more songs than people realize. He and Johnny Depp made an album right after Depp's infamous trial with Amber Heard last year. His guitar work was sublime.
lol!
Hey man, I'm not TOTALLY self promoting. I hope you don't mind! You remind me of him with your coding efficiency. Not that I know coding enough to compare. I'd really like to find out if there is any other racing title that in it's vanilla install gets online and seeing other players moving faster than MX Simulator. In my experience there is no faster.

The exceptional thing about Carmack is how he attacks problems from all different sides. When you read about Quake's visible surface determination it's amazing all the different approaches that were not only considered but actually attempted. Most people just come up with a plan and implement it.
Cool to find out he's a supercross fan!

He's all kinds of cool! Big martial arts guy, loves his gold Ferarris, got me through the 90s etc. I never tried Rage though. Masters of Doom was a good book in case you haven't checked it out.
