Euro Truck Simulator 2: The Comfiest damned game ever made. Well not anymore ladies and gentlemen that's right this is the IC Comfy Trucker Comfy Truck-Off and the name of the game is competition.

What is it?

Well I'm glad you asked, see ETS2 is all about driving your big-rig around Europe delivering heavy freight trailers ranging in anything from wheat to petrol.

It's a pretty casual game, not a lot to get angry about just drive your truck listening to the radio a nice way to relax and have some fun.

The purpose of the Truck-Off as mentioned is that of competition, we're going to see who's the best damned virtual trucker on IC.

The Rules

These are simple enough:
Take the longest route you possibly can (For purpose of the competition you'll need at least long-haul rank 3) with the highest delivery value.
The trailer HAS to be 'oversized' meaning more weight than your standard trailer, it makes up and down hill driving that much more fun.

The winner will be the driver who accomplishes their delivery in the shortest time span, with the least amount of damages done

You need to have your own truck: It's not fair if one participant owns their own big rig (And as such knows all the ins and outs of their vehicle) while another player has to deal with an NPC supplied un-upgraded rig

I'll be driving my Kenworth W900L

    We can even make this a pleasant, more involved experience get everyone participating on Mumble and we can mimic having CB radio. It's kind of the best.

    EDIT: I will personally supply 1 copy to someone who wishes to participate.

    Does running into shit and breaking traffic laws make the game end or just hurt your score?
  • IlriyasIlriyas The Syrupy Canadian Toronto, Ontario Icrontian
    It hurts your score and fines you. You'll lose money in the process and more upon delivery. I'm still getting the hang of perfect runs.

    MEEEEEEEEEE!

    Also, Lynx, I don't think it's safe to be a beer and a truck at the same time. There might even be a law against it... Something like, No Driving While An Influence.

  • UPSLynxUPSLynx :KAPPA: Redwood City, CA Icrontian
    Guys, you are all doomed. You might as well give up now.

    I'm so comfy, I let my truck take naps:

    Since everyone needs to get Long Haul rank 3 (meaning you need to level up 3 times and put points into long-haul), we'll need a couple weeks for everyone to get to that point. So for now, no concrete date. Just get the game and level up.

    I might have to pull this thing out of the closet after years of hiatus.

    I used to be madly addicted to FSX for a long time. Auto-pilot was so boring though.............. This game would require constant attention. I could easily get into this I think.

    I don't get this. I don't get this at all. I've been trying to wrap my head around this since last night's LoEI. I feel if I think about this much longer, it's going to turn into an aneurysm via the 'If it weren't for my horse, I wouldn't have spent that year in college' route.

    So to prevent an aneurysm, Rubber Duck reporting in.

    I feel like I just betrayed my mother with the wisdom she instilled in me with all those lectures of "If all of your friends jumped off of a bridge, would you do it too?"

    I for one am waiting for the bridge to go on sale again before jumping. If it doesn't get down to $10, I won't be comfy truckin'. (But I think it will)

    As was said last night, you can't really understand why the game is one of the better games I have played in the last 5 years, until you actually play it. It's just a complete change of place. I don't have to kill things, blow stuff up, solve a complex puzzle, or worry about some form of impending doom. You just hitch up a truck and drive it. It's brilliant. There is also the business aspect to it that is also really satisfying. You grow from a free lance driver to a small trucking company with a few drivers to a large company with several warehouses and dozens of drivers.

    I will see your Trucking Simulator, and I raise you a Train Simulator 2013 (http://store.steampowered.com/app/24010/). For a measly 1200 bucks you can own the base game and lots of other... trains?

    Trying to think of a handle, wanted to be Papa Bear but then I learned that's CB slang for Police Chief.

    Thinking I'm going to settle with Maple Leaf or Caribou or something.

    Why not the original Euro Truck Simulator? It's only $4.49. What makes ETS2 better?

    More truck variety, larger map, more environmental effects to make everything seem more realistic and immersive, it's far more user-friendly, mod support. It's got a far more up to date graphics engine and when you're playing a real life simulator graphics, and graphic optimization really do help.

    It also supports game wheels and controllers for those who don't feel like getting used to the keyboard controls.

    It's the sequel and it's significantly better than the original in just about every category. It's what game sequel /should/ be.

    EDIT: It also live streams radio stations which is really really awesome.
