When i was very young i watched Neological. The next morning my parents were missing some money and all of a sudden beamng was on my account
I do have a kind of history with driving games, that was bound to get me to BeamNG. In fact, about 90% of my games on PS1, 2 and 3 are driving games (yes, I'm that old). The Need for Speed series left me an irreversable passion for high speed chases and the Gran Turismo series for a degree of realism. But the damage models really added to the experience on NFS: Hot Pursuit 2. The PS2 version of it is still the peak of Need for Speed to me, as it has the overkill collision sounds and choppers dropping bombs at you without the nitro BS of the later games. Winning a race with traffic and the cops was purely down to your skills. Additionally, the damage on your car was like a sign that said "we had it tough, but we still made it." Then my PS2 just stopped reading the discs, which mostly the end of my console gaming. I gave a shot to the 2010 Hot Pursuit, but the ****ing turbo/nitro thing just ruined it for me. You couldn't just focus on staying on the road and dodging the traffic, but now you also had to keep track on some stupid nitro thing that no one asked for. So I pretty much moved on to other things. Then somewhere in 2016-18, I began to see YouTube clips and channels around BeamNG and got instantly hooked. I kept watching videos of Neilogical, CrashBoomPunk and other channels similar to those, while being a long-term soda addict. Then the last summer, I just had to give the game a shot by installing a Windows partition to my Mac Mini. I've grown up with Macs and THIS is what drove me to Windows. Obviously, the experience wasn't that great with the Mac's puny GPU and RAM. That's when I began planning something out of my comfort zone: building my own PC, that'd finally be upgradable and fixable by myself instead of some "authorized repair shop" with ridiculous lines and pricing. I was determined enough to quit drinking soda, so that I could save money for the parts. Since I finished the PC on January this year, it's served me well beyond BeamNG crashes and all. I've named it after my other popular channel and this game that drove building it (pun intended).
Cool! Nice job. I use a PC a friend made for CHEAP and it runs great. It can run FH5 at 60 FPS full HD all day long. And BeamNG gets 40 fps on WCUSA. And his he made for cheap, and it can run basically everything. So good job making your own, it is a LOT cheaper than having a shop do it. Here hoping it outlasts the PS2. (BTW the case for mine is from 2005-2010 so they definitely can.)
Probably around 2019 when I came to where I live now, I started browsing through youtube, and all the time I would watch those old crash compilations and noob vs pro videos of BeamNG. I slowly turned my attention to channels like Neilogical, Camodo, Carmighty and Muye etc in around 2022. I got the game in 2023 when I was hanging out over at a family friend's place, it was pretty close to the shopping mall so I walked over there and bought 2 twenty dollar Steam gift cards. Rushed back to the friend's house and used the giftcards for BeamNG and Counter Strike 1.3 (which I haven't touched in a while): It was a total blast playing it, and now I make goofy low-quality mods for it from time to time. I have bought this game for 6 times in total, 1 for me and 5 for my friends, or simply people who think BeamNG is a shitty game to prove them wrong.
WhyBeAre. (This man is a fucking legend) I was just a young boy living with my dad in his run down (ish) house and my grandma. I found WhyBeAre's content nice and actually good. I watched his videos once while doing an all-nighter. I then moved to my mom's house and I got a shitty pc with a 450 something from NVIDIA and it, managed to run BeamNG. Ever since 2022 I've been fascinated by BeamNG.
