What are you playing?

Well apparently they class them all as trucks now looking at other sites too. I guess some individuals have there own saying for them to what they use them for.

So if they are trucks do they require a truck license ?, just a thought.
 
Chicken tax still applies to light duty trucks but not passenger vehicles (Ford Transit Connect is imported with seats installed to dodge the tariff, the seats are removed at a facility in the USA, and sold as cargo vans).

Special licensing is under Commercial Driver's License (CDL). Those are usually based on Gross Combined Vehicle Weight (GCVW) or number of passengers the vehicle is rated to carry (I believe >9). The only exception to the rule I know of are Recreational Vehicles (RV) which, even 48' long, they don't require a CDL. However, touring buses which have seating/bunking capacity for >9 passengers do require a CDL. They look like RVs on the outside but are not.

"One ton" (Ford F-350, Ram/GMC/Cheverolet 3500) trucks don't require CDL. F-450/4500 and F-550/5500 generally don't require CDL unless they have air brakes, pull large trailers, or carry a lot of passengers. F-650/6500 and up do require CDL.

Truck no, some time referred to as one one though due to the size ( Light Truck ), how ever SUV meaning Suburban Utility Vehicle ( body-on-frame ). All so there is a smaller which are called Sport Utility Vehicle.
well ... yes but many SUV are smaller than that one ... ;) that's why i call it a truck (also mainly due to the Landrush category "truck" where the "Stadium Truck" are in fact Pickup-SUV modified )


ohhh so the Tacoma is a class 1 light duty truck YAY! :D (although in Trailblazer configuration it's more a hybrid Le Man racer X Rally car ... pretty awesome i'd say )

edit i managed to get a <2mb gif from it, might looks nicer than a 2sec video :oops::p

Norway Trailblazer run are awesome ... almost feel at home with wider roads :laugh:

Vehicles like the Suburban, Expedition EL, Yukon XL, and Excursion are considered class 1 or class 2 trucks under the law even though they are large SUVs.

LeMans cars are also heavily modified from their production versions (have to replace brakes fast, fuel it fast, swap tires fast, and so on).


I started Evoland 2. So hoping I don't BSOD...

Correction to previous: 15 passenger requires a CDL license with passenger credit. Usually CDL A or B class, depending on how large it is.


No BSODs yet and I think I'm about caught up to the first time I BSOD'd and lost the save in Evoland 2 (already passed the second time).
 
Still addicted to Overwatch. Christmas patch coming out very soon!

I ordered Lego The Force Awakens and Uncharted 1-4 so I'll have to give them a shot too.

Offtopic, but what you mean with BSODs?
 
So I have gotten back into WoW after a 4 yr break and currently dividing my time between WoW, The Division and Path of Exile. Overwatch occasionally for change of pace. Anyone else playing The Division? if you want to add me as friend flmatter is my tag, I am only lvl10 but enjoying it so far.
 
Blue Screen Of Death

Yeah i know what BSOD is xD what i meant was what ford was saying about 'hopefully not getting blue screens' does the game have stabiloty issues.
 
Offtopic, but what you mean with BSODs?
I got about 70-80% through the game twice. Both times, I lost the save following an UNEXPECTED_STORE_EXCEPTION. I changed from an MX100 (incompatible with mobo, apparently) to MX300 SSD and I finally completed the game without any BSODs. I've had those BSODS for the past year. This is just the only game I played where if something catastrophic happens, it goes kamikaze with the save (I think it literally deletes the save off of Steam Cloud too).

Evoland 2 is good game. It fixes pretty much all of the problems I had with Evoland (short and extremely repetitive combat). I just replayed the original Evoland because I couldn't remember the plot. Except one minor character that may have been ported over (Sid), I don't think there's much in common between the two games.

Other than the BSODs which were just exposing underlying instability, the only other bug I saw in the game was texture pop in after the game has been running 10+ hours straight. Restarting the game fixed that.


I think I'm gonna play a heist or two in PD2 then off to bed. Tomorrow I'm going to start something but I don't know what (Wolfenstein, Sniper Elite, or Wasteland).
 
Leveling an orc in Elder Scrolls Online using beta controller support ... it changed all game UI as if I'm on a console, and font is now readable from the couch :rockout:
 
I've finally, FINALLY finished the Legacy of the Void campaign. Darn, that last mission (Salvation) was super hard. I've retried it for 4 days and only now, I managed to beat it. I'm only playing on Hard though, Brutal must be pretty extreme.

I haven't finished the game yet though since the Epilogue was unlocked once I've finished the main campaign. Can't wait to see the end of the saga.
 
100%'ed Epic Mickey and MadWorld, almost simultaneously lol. Both games are awesome, it's really fun to switch between two fundamentally different games.

Just started Epic Mickey 2 and The Conduit

Warren Spector made Epic Mickey 2 more tough, improved level design and Wasteland now is really big. I guess it'll take 100 hours to explore everything. There are ~ 100 side quests. Definitely one of the best adventure/exploration games I've ever played

The Conduit is really cool, violent and scary like FEAR and DOOM and dynamic like GodlenEye. After Metroid Trilogy and GoldenEye, The Conduit is probably the best FPS made for Wii. Cool weapons, aliens, marines, portals, zombies, robots, lots of crazy shit and even little bit of quantum mechanics.

Ah, I remember playing that on my Wii. The aiming is really nice with the wii motes. I still put Metroid Prime Trilogy above Conduit though. Which reminds me, I need to finish my second play through on 2 and 3 on my Wii.

I will probably get back to FFXV to finish up all the side quests and secret bosses. Right now nabbed Ratchet and Clank (PS4 version) for cheap, so beating the crap out of that game at the moment. Funny that a boss on a game for 10+ year olds has killed me three times while none of the bosses on FFXV manage to do that. Having a blast with the game. Very smooth game play too.
 
slither.io... I love this game.

I use a mod to zoom and decrease graphic quality so it doesn't lag.
 
Playing Space Engineers and trying to figure out the best way to mine.

See? This is one of those quietly released Indie games that sneaks up on you.....and is worth every penny!!

Using that suit never gets old! There is always a new challenge or ability.
 
Frontline Fuel of War.. older title.. great fun and nothing to take seriously.

Good mix up between Battlefield and well the old Battlefront IMO.. good game.
 
I like how this miner operates...
