Anyone else celebrating their 15th anniversary at this place in 2014?

Wish I could remember. I think I was on the game-hunter thing, but it was so damn long ago, who knows. I know it was pretty soon after GT1 came out, I ended up here trying to figure out if it was even possible to get gold on some of the license tests.

I'm pretty sure that you were one of the other 8 Dec people. Along with Taimar and Dudley.

Ah, classic moments in granturismo history.

Man, some of those names brought memories back. MustangEater and his tragic typing, Jimmy_Fingers was usually funny. SEER probably still has those stupid boots. KFS was always cool.

MustangEater posted at LS1Tech.com for a number of years, too.

Hahah, was still working at eToys.

I joined in sometime in April 2001...freshman year of high school. retsmah had sent me links about racing in EZGT and other bits of info from here in late '00 but it wasn't until 2001 that I actually joined.

God that was half my life ago What a strange generation we have. But it's been great fun and a hell of a ride.

I don't think I appeared, as GT2toXS until after GT2 had come out. Prior to that, I tried to learn from rec.games.video.sony and alt.games.video.sony-playstation, etc.

Apart from the fact that those demos dont show you getting gold...

There is a lot more to it than that.
B3 for example looks easy, but it one of the hardest golds to get.

Then again A7 looks hard, but it by far the easiest!!!

Some of them do. Just not the ones which were featured in the Japanese
games, I believe. (I.e. the Japanese game had only a few license test
demos, and none of them were gold, I believe).

September '99 for me, iirc. Hard to remember a time when you guys weren't a part of my life.
