Top Gear Series 14


Recommended Posts

Well the BBC were the first to admit that Top Gear was its Superbrand (CashCow) and they were going to exploit it as such. So for a few years they have liscenced the crappy merchandise, the DVD's, The Live Tour (Which was actually good, I went) and they have made the money so they can use it to fund other areas of the BBC. Needless to say that the BBC will continue to make Top Gear in the format that everyone knows and people will still continue to watch it.

> Lexus LFA - exactly what is the point? Does nothing better than any of the other supercars available and costs more than most of them... FAIL

> BMW X6 - shock and awe as Jeremy disses a BMW SUV.. said everything I would have said about it. Vulgar crap - it deserves to fail, hard.

Slightly disappointed at the blatant time wasting and so forth.. not sure wtf that was about! Will be glad when Top Gear is back on our TV's again though!!

That was a terrible episode. Trying to make jokes out of the fact they had nothing to fill the show with when obviously they really didn't. Should have ended the series in Bolivia. The awards are nothing but terrible jokes recycled from the year before. I think the best bit of that was Seasick Steve making music out of Moris Minor parts. Everything else was crap.

Finally having watched it I must say that was appropriate encore after Bolivia special. And in some ways less fake then lots of the previous episodes. Thou thats probably due to the fact that they indeed had nothing much to say left :D Also Jeremy's BMW review. HA :D

Bugatti Veyron for car of the decade, saw that coming a mile away!

As it should be.

I like this episode more than the last few. The episode felt tamer, like they weren't try too hard; and that's a good thing.

I think I'm done with Top Gear - it's become a pale imitation of it's former self... it's almost as if the 3 hosts have been replaced by actors pretending to be the 3 hosts.

Every series is becoming the same:

"Oh let's go on holiday"

"Oh let's find the best driving road in XYZ"

"Let's race long / wide / otherwise not-normal vehicles"

"Let's build something and then drive it somewhere to see how people react"

"Let's start a fire"

"Let's do a ridiculous challenge like fly a blimp built from a car"

"Let's get given ?1000 to buy an old car then go to a destination for the stig to race it. On the way we'll break down, go the wrong way, bump into each other's cars and generally be c*cks"

at least it's better than most of the sh*te on tv atm. depressing soaps, reality shows (big brother blah), dancing shows etc.

is the season over? because today's episode was a "best of"

Yeah, last week's ****fest of an episode was the last of the series. Now we have to wait until June for the next one. Hope they can pull their socks up for that one. The summer series seem to end up better than the winter ones though.

    • I think you meant the "ntfs3" driver, but yes there have been a lot of fixes for it in this release and previous releases, not 100% sure if the issue you mentioned is fixed though. In any case, the new "ntfs" driver in 7.1 doesn't have that issue (at least, no reports of such have come thru), but your kernel needs to explicitly enable support for the new driver first (like how CachyOS kernel has it), and you need to edit your mount points in /etc/fstab to use "ntfs" instead of the other drivers.
    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
