AMA is back for another season!!!

I love AMA, I'm a huge, HUGE Mat Mladin fan and I also like Ben Spies and the Hayden brothers. What is great about AMA is there is at least 2 quality riders at each level (Duhamel, Gobert, DiSalvo, Yates) all those guys are competitors and it doesn't matter if it's Superbike or Formula Xtreme or whatever, there's always someone great to follow. I'm really interested to see this year how the new Beull bike is going to do on Formula Xtreme with the twin Harley engines.

I'll be heading to Laguna Seca as usual this summer for round 7. Nothing will beat last year's weekend when MotoGP came also and Nicky Hayden got his first GP victory but I still expect awesome racing.

Yeah I like watching Supercross racing. I just saw a race the other day, and it was on the On board rider cam, and this guy just landed and ran over a guy that fell in front of him. Looked painful, not sure if it was at Indy, or Atlanta.

Awsome! I was actualy in Daytona last weekend for the AHRMA races (brother raced) and I saw a few XB-RRs in action. They are pretty fast I must say. There is a lot of coverage on tonight

Well, if anyone watched the races today, they were quite entertaining. Mladin pulled out the Superbike win for the first race of the season but Ben Spies pushed him to the final stretch...that was an awesome race and Mladin showed his experience by letting Spies take the lead going into the high banking turns and then he used the draft to get the extra hp to squeeze by him at the checkered.

And in the 200 Forumla Xtreme, Miguel Duhamel had the race in hand until the 20th or so lap when he made a mental error and high-sided the bike, destroying the windscreen and damaging his helmet. He fought back and finished 5th but I'm sure he was bothered by the crash.

I thought it was really cool in the 200 race seeing the bikes have to pit. That's not normal for most races but it added a nice little element. And just like NASCAR or open-wheel racing, a few riders made or broke their performance by the pit efficiency. Great weekend.

Didn't catch the superbike race but from what I have heard it was awsome. I wish the superbikes still did the 200.

I watched past of the 200. Man duhamel's crash looked pretty hard, I was amazed to see him just get up and run to his bike, and then to keep going at a competitive pace. Then to see the pace car screw up..

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.

      Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
