  2. Can't wait to get back my -200 or more... Might also want to take a look at updating the YouTube embedding code since it won't do widescreen, or pop-out to full-screen even when you hit the button. (this is the only site I've seen in the last 5 years that has that problem, I think your code is way out of date)
  3. The Syrian government listing Israel as a retaliation country is nothing, they're already at war... Difference is that the Opposition (for the most part) doesn't really give a shit what goes on outside their country's border, so long as it doesn't negatively affect them. (the current government wants to actively pursue war with Israel, and everything they stand for) The likelihood that the next government (if this one falls) will be a significant change from the current one is remarkably small, but just the possibility that it will change for the better is enough to warrant action.
  4. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis twyndyllyngs antidisestablishmentarianism rampaging rhino with Bill Gates, and pie very him zany.
  5. "It just takes a while to chew."
  6. Doesn't have an MLP (it hurts just typing those letters in that sequence) avatar.
  7. i2 = −1
  8. Banned for interrupting class by complaining about food, and it's lack of being given to you. Now go to the principal's office!
  9. The electronic aspect just reminds me of 8-bit and 16-bit music... Also, it reminds me of when my Dad wrote the entire 1812 Overture in GW-BASIC. (you could play notes for specific durations in Basic, so he did that to pass the time one week, still have the code laying around on an old 5.25" floppy somewhere) Similar resultant sounds to my ear.
  10. Oddly enough I had heard of it, but most people thought it was a reference to the Wayward Son movie... OT: Looking for a fix for Far Cry 3 to disable certain visual effects. (like the SSAO that won't turn off for some reason)
  11. The Simpsons!
  12. So am I, but skepticism isn't judgement, and I'm going to have it until I see it for myself.
  13. Far Cry 3... The pirated one... Haven't gotten around to buying it legit... Still haven't seen any indication that they have or ever will fix certain issues with the post effects that can't be disabled (even in the settings files, I've been trying since I torrented the game) that my system has. (makes the sights unusable when facing certain directions due to blur) Until there's a fix for my issues, I won't buy it. (yes, that is the only complaint I have on it since patch 1.05)
  14. I don't recommend AMD GPUs or other hardware because their QC has issues, (having the newer chips slowly burn themselves out is amazingly common) and because their drivers are crap. (usually OpenCL isn't even functional with AMD drivers) Pay a little less now if you want, but an extra couple dollars will get you a much better product. Also, bear in mind that for a performance comparison, take the number of CUDA cores on a GeForce and multiply them by 4 and compare the Radeons that have that (or close to that) number of stream processors. Also, PhysX isn't the only difference in capabilities between the brands, AMD just wants people to think it is... (makes it easier to get people to buy their stuff) GeForce cards have an interesting way of doing the processing, and as a result it makes is far easier to do anti-aliasing on Nvidia, about 3/4 the strain that you'd get on a Radeon. Sorry I can't find a decent NZ site that lists local prices to people in the USA... Ram upgrade recommendations: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104387 | Kingston HyperX Black Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) [$57 USD] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313345 | Team Vulcan 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) [$57 USD] PSU recommendations: (take your minimum wattage need and add 25% or you're going to burn out your PSU very fast, unless it's a "continuous") http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817148046 | APEVIA ATX-CB700W 700W [$40 USD] http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817148048 | APEVIA ATX-AP800W 800W [$60 USD] GPU recommendations for Radeon: (if you're dead-set against GeForce for some reason) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102994 | SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6570 1GB [$50 USD] (about 3/4 the performance of the GT 630 I mentioned) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161427 | HIS iCooler Radeon HD 7750 2GB [$80 USD] (next step up from the 6570, and still only about 3/4 the performance of the GT 640, only benefit is extra RAM, but that's almost useless if you're not running extremely high-rez textures) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202011 | SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB [$105 USD] (Again, 3/4 the performance of the GTX 650, except with less RAM, again RAM size is almost pointless above 1GB if you're not running very high-rez textures) *example of RAM above 1GB* I have a 2GB GT 630m in my laptop... I run a heavily modified, and much higher resolution textured version of Fallout New Vegas, and the GPU RAM usage is around 40% in unmodified at highest game-capable graphics settings, but after modding it to be much higher it maxes at 65%. (40% of 2GB is 819MB, 65% is 1331MB) *end of example* I hope this helps...
  15. I upvoted it. Can't wait for it to become available...
  16. A game that does nothing but beat you down in a schoolyard. Tropico.
  17. 1842 - Commonwealth v. Hunt: the Massachusetts Supreme Court makes strikes and unions legal in the United States. Giuseppe Verdi's (Joe Green to you) third opera Nabucco premieres in Milan; its success establishes Verdi as one of Italy's foremost opera writers. Anesthesia is used for the first time in an operation (Dr. Crawford Long performed the operation using ether). Income Tax Act establishes the first peacetime income tax in the United Kingdom; 7 pence in the pound, for incomes over 150 pounds. James Nasmyth patents the steam hammer in the United Kingdom. The Treaty of Nanking ends the First Opium War and establishes Hong Kong as a British colony. Britain will de-colonize the territory in 1997. English palaeontologist Richard Owen coins the name Dinosauria, hence the Anglicized dinosaur.
  18. Nappa castrate antidisestablishmentarianism rampaging rhino with Bill Gates, and pie very him zany. (I thought about using a word that has 1909 letters, but decided against technical words)
  19. Banned for hating on eating.
  20. 526356659856898+989855698568 *typed with my heel on the numpad*
  21. Used to have boobs in avatar.
  22. ^^^ There aren't that many 3.5" floppies left in the world. ^^^ New game, literally kills you in real life at the end. EA, Activision, and Valve forgo all other development until this game makes $1 trillion. (mandatory life insurance policy to own the game)
  23. "If you move just a little to your right, it looks like I'm holding my head in my hand."
  24. "Right... Another useless hunk of metal for me to carry around. Wait, where am I putting all of my guns right NOW?!?" He manages to commandeer a tank...
