    What sort of reassurance can be given to a person with an ATI HD5750?

    The only reassurance I can give you is, you can run most games. Get a GTX 560 if you want better reassurances, like "you can run most games at max settings with 32xSSAA while maintaining over 60FPS"...

    Internet Explorer 9

    Without add-ons Firefox seems fairly bare-bones to me.

     

    I installed IE 9 because it was a recommended Windows update, plus I sometimes use IE if Firefox doesn't play well with certain websites.

     

    But holy crap IE 9 is fast. Webpages in their ready form almost pop up like folder windows. I will be going to FF 4 at some point, we'll see how it competes.

    Should try Chrome first. (it IS the fastest, and makes IE9 look like it's taking forever in comparison)

    Are games overpriced?

    Minecraft anyone?

    No.

     

    When it comes to DRM, if I am inconvenienced more than just once at install, I don't buy the game. I'm trying to spread this mentality, but it's kind of hard when people would obey the law if it told them to jump off a cliff into a vat of razor blades.

    ...Or just install Firefox 4

    You mean Google Chrome...

    You mean that thing that infects and ruins your computer? Nope

    No, I mean the one browser that doesn't come with features that 99.9% of the users of the program will never use.

    Ok, so I've got some from these games:

     

    • Fallout: New Vegas
    • Half-Life 2 (this one was the hardest, read the .txt file for the why)
    • Half-Life 2 w/ Cinematic Mod
    • Half-Life: Episode 2 w/ Cinematic Mod
    • Half-Life: Source w/ HD pack
    • Rainbow Six: Vegas 2
    • Star Wars: Empire At War

     

    They're split into their own sub-folders for easier browsing, and comparison. All SS are in .png format. The total size of the .rar is 69.7 MB, so I'm putting it in a torrent. I'll be seeding for quite a while...

     

    Let me know if you have questions, if you want more SS for any of these, or if you want SS of another game... (I can likely torrent any game you want to see SS of that I don't already have)

    End of the world!

    If the world would end, but buy way of, comet or asteroid.

    Would you want the government to tell you?

    Or keep it silent until.... Bang!

    I would want them to tell me they've gotten off their lazy asses, and built a couple hundred colony ships that are capable of interstellar travel, and have stasis pods. (colony ship = 10 million passenger minimum, with enough supplies to house and supply a starting 'village' of 10,000 or more for at least a year)

     

    I even have a ship design, if only they'd make the tech necessary to build the thing... (they've turned away from that area of research several times, they don't really want us to be able to leave our planet en mass)

    Possible question about Freeman's Mind 2

    he's playing through Half-Life without the HD pack

    Wait, there's and HD pack for HL1?!? Where? I want!

     

    There is but I don't think he is for Source. There's one for the original if you have Blue Shift.

    There is an HD pack for each. I have HL:S, and the HD pack for it. There are a few textures and signs that don't quite match up right, but I don't mind for the much better visual quality.

    I thought people did like these. Well Battlefield, at least. I've heard no one plays Eternal Silence

     

    No one really did like the Mech(ish) combat style one, though. Or BF2 for that matter.

    No one likes the mechs because you have to have 2 people in them for the mechs to be effective, and when they are effective, the other team hates them...

     

    Everywhere I go, everyone says the BF2 is so much better than 2142... I don't agree with that personally.

     

    Then again, I like Far Cry 2 better than FC1, and not just because of the graphics...

    ADHD does not = retardation. Anyone who thinks it does must be retarded.

    I agree, but last time I saw a psychiatrist it was classified as a form of mental retardation.

     

    While that study may indicate "developmental delay," it in no way indicates that the delay is "severe."

    Any delay is severe in my book, especially considering how retarded the majority of high school graduates are already.

     

    You need to be able to cite your sources accurately, and refrain from the type of exagerration we see here, if you want to be taken seriously.

    That makes no sense. I quoted as accurately as possible by giving a link to the site.

     

    How is that question exaggerating anything?
