A Profound Crash Simulator

I recommend watching this video at 4K - more bitrate is needed for driving games.

Dirt Rally is more than just a rally good rally game. It's a good game! And I strongly suggest checking it out for something that's challenging, rewarding and will give your butt-clenching muscles a good work-out. And by pushing me to the limit it has helped me to discover stuff about myself that I feel I can work on.

This will be my last tribute to Dirt Rally, as I'm sure those of you who want to play it have done already and those of you who haven't just want me to get on with the next Going Low in CS:GO already.

Apologies for only showing clips from my Master challenge and the vehicle I used. I did use others but would clear out my shadowplay folder monthly because I got a little carried away in recording my highlights for this game. Still, I hope that you enjoy my crash montage!

Co-driver:"Over jump maybe"
The Car: Goes over the "maybe" jump and launches into the stratosphere before wrapping itself around a tree on the other side of the planet.

I play Dirt Rally with a steering wheel. One day when it was raining, I hit the throttle on a corner too hard on the road (RWD in real life) and felt that my car was about to skid and corrected it instantly like nothing went wrong. I blame this on Dirt Rally.

"Dirt Rally is the Dark Souls of racing." This caused me to physically shake in my seat.

I think the level of anger is directly proportional to how quickly you hit the restart XD

"DON'T CUT"
Ends up cutting it anyways because I have 0 control over the vehicle

"You will live in terror, after you achieved perfect start. Knowing that any small mistake will send you back to the beginning again" yeah thats me :D

[Patchnote.]

I bought this game because of you after your last video and I don't regret it. Except for when I'm playing it.

I attend the Swedish rally annually, and i will give my experiences with attending a rally event.


You wake up early (me not so much since i live only an hour away or so from the service park) and get in the car. You turn on the radio and listen to the "rally radio" about what is happening during the day and the past days, combined with "rally mood music". No rally is complete without your friends and/or family, so make sure to bring them along.

If you are lucky it is sunny outside. Värmland during winter is absolutely beautiful, so just the roadtrip up north is an experience in itself.
Eventually you arrive at the spectator area. You pay, park your car and find a nice spot. You set up a campfire and wait for the event to start. Then you just stand or sit there and watch as the cars fly by. You eat grilled sausages, drink something nice (hot drinks and/or booze) and spend time with your company.
In Sweden, spectator safety is a really big deal, so unless you are an absolute moron, there is really nothing to worry about.

At the end of the rally you pack up your things, get back in the car and relax on the way back home.

TLDR; It is not just about watching the cars for me, it's also about spending time with your friends and enjoying the outdoors. Amazing feeling that i recommend that everyone try given the chance.

Those "boulders" in Germany are called "dragon's teeth, " or "hinkelsteins" in German, and were first used in WWII to slow down and divert tanks into tight spaces where they could easily be destroyed. They've been claiming cars since the debut of the WRC's Rally Deutschland in 2002.

Good job Codemasters...

This really reminded me of my grades and my anxiety over doing homework. I'm also a perfectionist in video games. I have to have the sneakiest, best, most efficient execution on an enemy, or I have to do things in a certain way to be happy. I also apply this to school work, but instead of getting my work done, I give up if I can't make progress (which, the perfectionism really hinders progress). You reminded me of my fear and anxiety about all the essays and projects I have to do before the end of the semester. But you also reassured me that I don't need to focus on making the beginning look beautiful, and that I'll eventually make _everything_ look like sparkling gold if I just work on the _entire_ project instead of just the first parts. This is a life lesson that I'm still struggling to learn, and this has helped me understand in a little bit of a different perspective

*In his head* :"Yes, I'm about to save myself from the count-down"

Track : *Excuse me what?*

Then you have Monaco: where the track, keeps hurtling you off the track.

"...you WILL live in terror after you achieve the perfect start, knowing that any small mistake will send you back to the beginning again." I love all the great lines in this video such as this one which can be applied to any sort of time trial. For me personally, I love speedrunning Super Metroid on the SNES and it gives me exactly all the same feelings that were described here.

Your voice is relaxing and I love your narration

[BxPanda]

I have a terrible idea, let's hook up a keyboard to a rally car and ask some world champion to do a full race with it :D

Honestly, I've beaten myself up so much over rally games, I remember doing very well in Colin McRae Rally and 2.0 there after.
I got back into rally and racing, picked up a Logitech G29 wheel and well... I felt like a shadow of my former self and again beaten myself up to the point where I've uninstalled the game, given up and as odd/weird as it sounds I let it affect me pretty badly in all honesty.

Watching this has actually helped with a bit of realization that I shouldn't give up because I can't do well, I can always improve and get better with practice.

I know someone might read this and think "wtf is this guy babbling about, all this over a game?!" well, yes, I've dealt with a lot of things in my life and beating myself up over little things feels pretty routine for me.
Games are an outlet and some have made me feel pretty crap as I'm competitive at heart.

Re-reading this, I feel even better... thank you 2kliksphilip, not sure if this was the kind of reaction you were expecting, but thank you for your input.

It's helped a guy get over feeling the need to beat himself up, at least in games.
