Hey, if we don't end this chapter quickly we're all dead. Which would tremendously suck. If this doesn't work out though, I may attempt the surrender thing I talked about earlier.

Sirus, is this a good indicator of your recent life?

I'll have to watch the whole thing first, but first impressions?

Somewhat. Cab-over trucks (the kind which you see around 1:40) aren't very common in the US trucking industry any more. I also have yet to meet a Nazi trucker, though I'm sure at least one is out there. Automatic transmissions are very uncommon in the States, though I hear they're widely used in Europe (which makes sense, since this is a Euro truck simulator). And of course being drunk while driving would be grounds for termination and loss of license on the spot.

Other than that? It's pretty similar! Looks like a good sim, though of course its not something I'd play in my spare time

ETA: Ugh, I keep flinching and involuntarily saying "oh shit!" every time they cross lanes or back into traffic. I'd hate to be on the road with this guy O_o;
EDIT 2: Okay! Finished the whole video. I think a few of my hairs have turned grey. So many near rollovers...

As a trucker: HOW THE FUCK DO YOU BACK-UP? They needed a sky-camera to do it. @_@

The short and simple answer is: Lots and lots (and lots) of practice. Also taking your time and getting out to look if you are ever even slightly unsure of where you and the trailer are positioned.

Trust me, its probably the hardest part of the job, and the one thing I'm most nervous about when I start going solo this week .___.;

If its EA, I'll boycott.

After this mission, that's just going to be stamped on the cover of the book.

Death is so pissed right now. We're just a bunch of scythe teases.

Don't go tempting fate. We haven't made it out yet, not by a long shot :/

Mommy, I'm scared...

Man, I wish I looked like my avatar. Monocles are the epitome of style.

Sadly I have two bad eyes instead of one, and must wear glasses. Which are also stylish, I guess.

Alternatively, buy a box of left eye contacts, and then get a right eye monocle.

*eyetwitch*
I don't like contacts. The thought of sticking a piece of plastic or glass up against my eyeball gives me the heebie-jeebies.
