    Your all time favourite game

    in Gaming in general

    Posted

    As I said I would, I've changed my Favorite game... The original Command & Conquer: Red Alert.

    Would the fact I can play Hell March on my electric guitar raise my awesome-level slightly?

    Record it and put up a link... I want to hear... (and yes it does)

    I've got a Radeon 5470, runs with shitty FPS when SSAA is on (mobile card with only 80 Stream Processors), but I can probly get some SS of Mass Effect, Alien Swarm, HL2 (& episodes), GTA4, Battlefield 2142, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, Far Cry 2, Medal of Honor, HL:S (I usually run it with SSAA 4x, and Wide Tent AA Filtering), Dead Space 2, Rainbow 6: Vegas 2, Assassin's Creed (1, 2, and Brotherhood), Star Wars: Empire At War, all of the Command & Conquer games (except 4), Tropico 3, Civilization V, Dragon Age 2, and Warzone 2100.

     

    Let me know what SS you want, what AA filter settings you want (Box, Narrow Tent, Wide Tent, Edge Detect), and what different AA levels you want... (2x, 4x, at MSAA/AMSAA/SSAA)

     

    If you want the best cards for the best AA at the best speeds, GeForece 5xx series beats all, followed closely by the 4xx series, then the top of the line Radeons (6900 series), then the GTX 285, then the Radeon 6800 series... (I'm a hardware buff, I can find hardware specs and performances for anything)

    Technological Singularity

    You've been on way too many conspiracy theory sites...

     

    BTW, satellites are not even implied to be closed circuit systems. (do they just sit up there and communicate with nothing???)

     

    The defense grid can mean anything from NORAD (which is not closed circuit) to the military private network... (which is a network of systems not connected to outside networks, or any wireless systems, and is therefore "closed circuit")

     

    The electrical grid however is closed circuit, and can only be accessed through select terminals...

    There was no better pesticide than DDT; it saved millions of lives. It was also never proven that it caused cancer in humans.

    True, but it was proven to cause severe developmental retardation in children.

     

    I don't usually take it seriously when someone says that some product causes cancer, especially since I know that everything everywhere can cause cancer. (Cigarettes have been proven to significantly increase cancer rates though)

    Power corrupts, Doom Shepherd.

    Only if the one with the power actually wants power.

     

    My problem with that system is that there are no checks and balances. The problem is that the individual has the power to initiate force; no individual has the right to do that. Just because he can, doesn't mean he has the right.

    Make a Rights thread, and quit trying to shove your interpretation of Rights down everyone's throats.

     

    It's also up to the dictator to say what's best and what's not; if he says it's ok to murder people, then it's ok. He could think that letting people murder each other is being nice and benevolent.

    Yeah, but we don't... That's part of what makes us good candidates for the position.

     

    I'm also clinically insane, so that just bumped me to the top of the list... (clinically insane is not the same as criminally insane)

    Abortion Controversy

    in Serious Topic Discussion

    Why do you care if other people are irresponsible if it doesn't affect you?

    But it likely will later in life. Bad lifestyle choices that never get removed WILL affect someone later on.

     

    It's not up to you to tell people how to run their lives, or their bodies. Besides, abortion is not a pretty or "easy" procedure I hear; I think the person will have learned their lesson afterwards.

    Well, learning the lesson beforehand is usually preferable to being stuck having that regret, pain, and permanent medical issues later because you were never told how shitty abortion is. (the only ones who spread the info about abortion are Pro-Lifers, everyone else proves their lack of knowledge about the subject when they talk about it as a "right")

     

    But even if they hadn't, it's not your place to be teaching other people life lessons.

    Then who is going to teach them? I suppose you also would suggest that all parents let their kids choose to shit on the carpet, skip school, and never learn to read... Right?
