Going to go play with molten steel after 2.5 hours sleep... Whee! (I'm a welder)

So much technical terms xD

Anywho, here is a bunch of information i know nothing about that the HWINFO prog gave me:

The motherboard does have a PCI-E x16...

Mow we just need to know your PSU wattage rating, and your budget...

Also, I personally recommend using CPUID CPU-Z instead of the utility that you used. (it can give us all the info necessary for upgrading everything, excepting of course the PSU)

Dr Proton?

Wasn't that Captain Proton?

Nope. Doctor Proton.

Captain Proton was from Star Trek: Voyager... Character/story 'Tom Paris' played in the holodeck. (that's honestly what I thought you were referring to as well)

Simple answer... L4D IS NOWHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS HALF LIFE

I surely isn't as "good" as Half Life, but it definitely is lots and lots of fun.

But definitely not enough to delay HL3, or EP3 a second longer.

I honestly don't think Bioshock 1 or 2 were even remotely 'scary', but then again I am one of those that played Doom 3 on Nightmare with the lights out, after midnight, silent house... A couple dozen times...

Horror movies/games have to require a significant amount of brain power to even begin to scare me now, since "shock factor" scaring has been Doomed out of me... (though I do still get creeped out every now and then when I see stuff that reminds me of some of the scenes in that game)

It depends on the DLC... Used to be it was free if you had the game to run it, but now you have to pay... ($5-$9 for one Civ5 DLC civilization?!?)

However, like BFBC2, having an almost expansion, or unlocking the 'best' weapons as DLC for a relatively low price ($10-$15) is a good way to do it IMO. (there are lots of kids that don't want to game against max level players with the starting equipment, and I really can't blame them)

Or, play more other games, maybe.

I always want to play more games, only problem is that i don't have that much money and parents HATE gaming and don't want to buy games for me. Also i don't have time to game(LOTS of time goes to school, social life and reading this forum lol).

Torrents are your friend. I can PM you a basic guide to safe torrenting if you want...

I personally have seen the gameplay trailer and read a lot about the game. I am impressed by the features they are implementing. It's just the setting that doesn't fit my taste. I'm sure you understand.

Same, and it's those features that pique my interest enough to download it... (kinda like the "Free Man's Staff" of DA2, game sucks IMO)

Going to bed... Good morning.

Incentive actually did this after releasing the game. One of their prizes was 500£ for the one who could get the highest score on their first game. It was part of their business plan and also the reason for their name. They wanted to give gamers an "added Incentive" for buying their products. Their games were actually pretty good for the time, boasting very advanced 3d graphics that ran surprisingly smoothly on low end systems such as the Dragon 32 and the ZX Spectrum.

I'm gonna have to look them up then...

It's a country-wide problem... That's why you should always go to a charter or private school if you can. (support the good schools)

Roger Bacon, according to the link, was one of the first people to advocate modern scientific method; the same scientific method that came up with the blasphemous evolution theory.

As far as I've ever heard/read, it was solely the work of Darwin, not the scientific method that devised the theory of evolution...

The next five names were chemists and physicists; evolution is biology; they never talked about that stuff.

Biology is chemistry and physics in living organisms. What proof do you have that they never said anything to refute evolution?

van Leeuwenhoek discovered protozoa: a single-celled life form that only supports evolution.

How does it support it?

Linnaeus is the father of ecology; another scientific field that's taken seriously by biology professors i.e. it supports evolution.

Again, how?

Euler, Dalton, Faraday and Herschel were not biologists and never claimed creation was scientific truth.

Still not saying anything about how they didn't find/report any contradicting evidence.

Maury is know for being a Civil War hero, not for science.

Just because that's what you remember him for, doesn't mean he wasn't a scientist too.

Joule was a physicist.

What does his particular field have to do with anything?

Mendel discovered goddamn genetics; if this doesn't prove evolution, I don't know what does.

I see nothing in genetics that supports evolution, and much that supports creation.

Kelvin was a chemist.

Again, how does a particular field remove them from being able to refute evolution?

Maxwell was a physicist.

*see last response*

Carver was concerned with cultivating plants; he did not concern himself with the diversity of life.

Messing with plants doesn't deal with diversity of life?!? What universe do you live in?

Eddington was a physicist.

*see response above the Carver response*

Well... Can't see as you've defended anything in that post...

I think he didn't understand why KM0 thinks it's a bad game.

He doesn't know why CoD:BO is crap?!? I thought everybody knew...

 

I don't know why you think it has good music... that's what I was implying

And I thought the music was part of what made it as crappy as it is...

Speaking of developers, I just read about an 80's developer called Incentive Software based in UK which actually handed out prizes to people who could get the best high scores on their games. That's pretty cool in my book.

Yeah, I've only seen that in some games during their Betas...

I use a Creative gaming headset myself. Cheap shit.

Indeed...

Sennheiser is the best for regular stereo headphones, but the ABS FX-8 has the best surround, and the ABS surround used for stereo also beats the Sennheisers; it's close, but going ABS for a lower price and getting surround in addition...

And will probably further raise my aversion to the Elder Scrolls franchise as a whole no matter the hype.

Yeah... I think dragons have been done to death as far as I'm concerned... I'll still probly torrent it though, just to see.

Why would them getting the rights to the previous 2 games automatically mean they were responsible for them anyway? They still didn't develop them. Deus Ex 3 is actually being developed by Eidos and published by Square Enix. So no, Ubisoft has nothing to do with Deus Ex.

Ok, I must have misread then... Edited my previous post.

The current limit seems to be 16.74 KBs, to me that is more than enough considering the max dimensions are 100x100. With such a small image you can also get away with higher compression without the artefacts being visible. My avatar uses almost the entire allowed area (97x100) but only weighs 4 KBs.

 

The filesize limit is an odd number though. I'd say either move it down to 16 KBs or up it to 24 or 32, just to look classy.

Your limit may be 16.74KB, but mine gave errors when I did a 15KB .jpg...

Been posted before, been seconded before, I supported it before, and I support it now.

IT'S EASY, DO IT IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO FIX THE DAMN FORUM UNAVAILABLE ERROR!!!

yeah Accursed Forums sounds better but i think the name Accursed Farms was just a name he just came up with as there was one time ross actually questioned about it said why he chose this name but that's back 3-4 years probobly one of the first post i think on here

It's in the FAQ.

3.52GB right now... Goes to show that being the torrent originator isn't everything.

3 seeds, 3 peers on my list right now.

Never really got into CS. But I remember it used to be THE game to play on the school computers in high school.

 

same here, i remember going 2 the computer lab during break times to play that. i also have it at home (1.3, then 1.4 and 1.5, i almost never play 1.6 because its filled with riot shield douchebags). and when i was young i used to play it with Botman's bots, which weren't that good, but funny as hell, as they replied somehow to what you said. imagine it as a combo between CSS bots and Cleverbot.

 

Yes that actually blew my mind since I was new to the internet and didn't know such things existed.

Tribes 2 they actually initiate taunts on the radio sometimes...

Doctor House on the job

That pic is epic win.

Agreed.

I always classed it more as an RPG than a regular shooter...

Ubisoft (partially, mostly because of the Assassin's Creed and Deus Ex series)

If I remember correctly, both Deus Ex 1 and 2 were developed by Ion Storm and published by Eidos. Ubisoft had nada to do with the franchise.

I thought they were making the new one, and had bought the rights to the previous 2? (that was why I mentioned it)

If they aren't, I'll definitely edit my post...
