I was just reading my husband's rankings on his Forza 4 game. He has placed 431times on the podium out of 450 races, and has 250 first place victories..That seems like quite alot. Is this a good score? Gee-maybe he deserves a job at Forza or something...

Sincerely, jillnelson

i think it means that he's spending too much time playing with cars in video games and not enough time playing with real cars.

Is this real life?

He deserves some sort of "reward" for doing so well.

Video game cars are cheaper and don't leave oil spots in the driveway. Working on them doesn't result in busted knuckles and rust in your eyes.

I wish my real car had a "reset" button.

Also: Please do not look at my Gran Turismo 5 stats.

Jill, I talked to your husband and the reason he's so good at Forza is he's channeling his pent-up sexual frustrations. What you need to do is every time he starts to play Forza, get naked and seduce him. Soon he'll start paying more attention to you and get worse at Forza.

Between this and the lien thread, does anyone get the feeling the board is being hit by some really bored trolls?

I already spoke with your wife. Well, there was a lot of noise but there wasn't much "speaking."

Oh that wasn't very nice. I suppose I should have expected it, though.

This is totally trolling. 431 podiums of 450 races is not amazing, but probably better than 98% of the Turn 10 guys, who get paid because they are good at what they do which has nothing to do with going fast in Forza.

I documented hundreds of hours of Forza car testing over a couple of years, and after I built some skill, I set out to test how dominant I could be. At one point I created a 30-day trial live account, and raced nothing but S-Class, Suzuka Full, Online Matchmaking (no wimpy AI). I raced one race per day, cold with no warm-ups, and sometimes two races on some weekend days, several hours apart, collisions off, because I wanted a pure test of speed, not "who can GT4 ram the crap outta who off the track the most".

I won 35/35 races and achieved a trueskill of Legend in that short time. Rightfully so. The funny thing is that I never even posted that test, and the only record I have of it is that trial account. Even though it has reverted to Silver, the records are still there.

Btw, I submitted a resume to Turn 10 and wasn't considered, so your man has no shot if that's his only skill related to VG publishing.

So did anyone else figure out what a forza is, or is everyone busy hiding their wives?
