Still running a A64 X2 4200+ OC'd to 4800+ that I bought two years ago when Newegg had one last spurt of S939 chips. It's paired with 2GB DDR400 and an 8800GT. The original system was built in early 2005 around an A64 3500+ and a 6600GT.
I keep wanting to upgrade because new parts are so goddam...
This. A person can go hypothermic in ambient air as warm as 70 to 80 degrees if the conditions are "right" (i.e. cloudy, windy, and the person gets wet/sweaty).
Light hiking within running distance of the car is fine in the rain, regardless of clothing. If you're a three day trudge from...
Not true. Most modern garments are water proof to a certain pressure level...not that this matters, because they are rarely submerged. The one time this actually counts is during a howling gale with lots of rain and high winds. If you look up the technical info on most weatherproof clothing...
Very true. Just as important as how well a garment keeps water out is how well it deals with water once it's already in. This is why almost all backcountry technical wear is mostly polyester - it's hydrophobic and dries quickly, and it carries very little water when fully saturated.
Know what...
Nylon when sheeted is not waterproof. All waterproof garments either have a waterproof laminate (i.e. GoreTex, Urethane coating, many other brands) or are made of waterproof material (urethane again - i.e. raincoat).
Most of the fancier brands have a weatherproof finish added (one good brand...
1) Stop yelling.
2) There's a microphone test setup in the L4D options. It's in L4D2 as well, but currently broken in that game. It pretty much tells you how you sound to others, assuming no connection problems.
If the fact that CoD games were boring as shit wasn't enough to keep you away, maybe this will make a strong argument.
I'm sorry, but any game using "enemy spigots" until the player crosses a script boundary out to be outlawed by congress.
The EuroGamer review did note that the incredibly silly gore did turn a lot of "serious" (as serious as you can have with armor that shows cleavage) dialogue into high comedy. Glad to see they were right. The more I see of DA, the more glad I am I didn't purchase before (if) they release a demo.
A few thoughts:
- AI director is improved. Special Inf teamwork is better.
- New special infected and uncommon commons add some new strategies.
- A lot of new inventory management. You can carry pistols OR a melee weapon, but not both. You can carry pills OR adrenaline, but not both...
I think you're still kind of missing the points, which are, in a nutshell:
- As long as "hardcore" PC gamers continue to have double standards toward the games industry, don't expect them to respect you.
- Until you start blaming the pirates for the mess rather than the game companies...
This made me lol.
But seriously, fuck low-flows. I know they've been around longer than the green fad, but with all the other green shit lately this is the last straw. The enviro-lefties can kiss my ass.
I find it hilarious that the uproar is about men taking their wife's last names and that being emasculating when the actual battle they're losing is getting married in the first place. THAT'S where you lose your balls. The name shit is just salt.
You do realize that the Penny Arcade guys have built a multi-million dollar business around their webcomic? You do realize their annual expo is bigger than any other video games tradeshow? You do realize they have published two of their own games at this point?
All I can really say is, you...
Ugh, god.
Where to begin...
First, how the hell do you lose at climbing?
As for what muscle groups are worked, the answer is all of them - eventually. Depending on what's being climbed.
Indoor wall climbing is not to be confused with rock climbing.
There's more, but I question...
Wat?
The current move towards slab-sided, big-rig inspired pickup designs all began with the F-150 redesign in 2004 that incorporated all the Kenworth styling cues. The big Rams started in 02, but the industry as a whole started moving that way after Ford did it...mainly because the big 3...
Unibit on impact driver...problem solved in 5 seconds or less.
Actually just had to do this last weekend on several new D-rings I was mounting in my truck's bed...
Unlikely at best. There are absolutely opportunistic pirates out there that do it because they can.
Let's throw things into another light: Suppose piracy doesn't decrease revenue. It does INCREASE stealing. Please explain to me how that is noble?
I find this amusing, because they are bigger and more influential than ever year after year.
I would hazard a bet it's because they have a balanced take on the games industry that sane people find refreshing. Most of the haters I've run into just don't tend to like them because they're the...
The problem here is that most pirates are hiding as customers. They're happy to provide feedback and then go pirate it anyway. If you truly want a voice, you're going to have to start railing against people you know are part of the problem.
Another part of the problem is that a large portion...
They are far more informed than you. Recall that the Penny Arcade Expo is now bigger than E3, with more companies demoing their upcoming products. They have scads of personal relationships with people in the industry.
What you can *bank* on, friend, is that in any disagreement you have with...
Most PC gamers would like to believe that's the world they live in. You need to read Phatose's point below.
I'm not convinced of that. If they had reason to believe they'd be more profitable without DRM, I have no doubt they'd switch to that business model.
Saying "they can't stop it so...
I am so fucking glad I stayed skeptical and made this title prove itself to me. All my friends that wanted me to 4-pack with them have been bitching up a storm all evening.
Left 4 Dead 2. No contest.
Can we start referring to Nov/December as "The Great Harvest"? It's the only fucking time of year games get released anymore.
So your proposal to these companies is "ignore this problem that decreases your revenues"?
You have a very valid point that coming up with solutions is not your job, but then some might argue that you don't get to bitch about it if you're not going to be involved in fixing it.
A lot of...
