    I just looked at a map detailing where the festival has been held since it's founding in the 80's, I'm quite surprised to see that there hasn't yet been a host city in Britain.

    Britain won't allow it, that's why.

     

    Oh, wow, awesome, did you get to see the Pope speak?

    Yes I did, from the jumbotron a mile and a half away from the platform. (when there are 2+ million attendees, it's kinda hard to get close)

    Also, you should visit Ross while you're there!

    Wrong area of the country, and no spare time. (I was with a group that had a lot of stuff planned)

    It's in Poland, right?

    Only for a few days. Most of my time was actually spent outside of Poland.

    For those curious:

     

    -It's hot in my apartment (you can see me sweating in the video). For some reason it tends to be even hotter here than it is outside. It's about the mid 80s right now. I don't have air conditioning, most windows aren't even set up for units in Poland.

    If I hadn't seen it for myself over the past couple days, I would be amazed... You definitely need to look into something though, as 80+ is very hard on modern consumer PC hardware.

     

    --A fan donated an i5-2500k to me actually. I've been meaning to "sidegrade" to that anyway, though it's a massive undertaking for me to do a Windows reinstall since I have to install and configure so many programs. I seriously have a checklist of about 200 items. Once I get to that though, that has a lower thermal profile than the 8350 anyway.

    The 2500k also has a higher thermal limit before you start getting errors/artifacts/crashes.(despite being 'rated' lower in the specs)

    I managed to do a decent test run of Mint (LMDE) and it is currently my #1 choice for "leaving Microsoft OSes altogether". Decent GUI capability, easy install, fast and functional.

    At WYD, having to camp out overnight so have nothing to do. I'll post pics when I get back home and can get the pics off my phone.

     

    Been staying at a bunch of different hotels, one in Prague had two seperate buildings, and you had to ride a cable car up a hill to get to building 2. The rest don't even have air conditioning. (The windows are the AC)

     

    Talk to you guys more when I get back!

    If you post pics of your PC, I can help you figure out what's wrong.

    Do so in the computer hardware subforum though, not here.

     

    Also, I 100% agree with you that there's something seriously wrong if taking the side panel off reduces the temps. (also, unless you're overclocking, you shouldn't be getting desktop CPU temps above 65c, so you might consider getting some new thermal paste on it)

    I'm sick and tired of unskippable cutscenes, and 'press X a lot of times really fast to keep from being eaten' mechanics.

     

    First, cutscenes... I know they're usually an integral part of the storyline, but I don't want to sit through the same hour or more of cutscenes I've already got memorized...

     

    Now the other... It needs to die a horrible death. It's on-par with unskippable cutscenes, but it also requires interaction to make sure you're still paying attention to the unskippable cutscene. (so you can't just go get a coffee or sandwich in the meantime, you have to sit there doing effectively nothing)

    Star Trek Beyond 99.999/100 (they had to limit Chekhov's appearances for obvious reasons, and that sucked in so many ways, but all else was cool)

    The Secret Life of Pets 9/10 (they picked a LOT of really good standup comedians to do the voices, and they did an excellent job IMO)

    I have yet to meet a good priest that said not to question the Catholic faith... Actually, every single one I know has said the exact opposite. Ture, some faiths don't like people looking too deep, and some people in certain faiths are still human and don't like when people question their teachings, but that doesn't mean they're all that way.

    Walkthroughs or Multiple Playthroughs?

    For the most part, I would rather not do either. I'm in the game for the story initially, and will try to do everything possible in it under my own power. However, if the gameplay is good enough, I will replay a game several times. If it isn't, I might go through and get the things I missed, just for bragging rights. Since so few games focus on the gameplay anymore, it's rare that I get more than 2 playthroughs for any given game.
