  1. I never managed to properly play Ares - I think I had a demo, or was too inept at computer games at the time to get anywhere - but the music at the start of the game stayed with me. It's a banger. The premise and style generally looks to be similar to the Homeworld games... (though technologically primitive in its implementation due to its release date)
  2. The Tribes 2 soundtrack is really good as well, but I can't seem to find a good download/torrent link for it right now... (which is unfortunate)
  3. Look in the RL Pictures thread in the FFA section, I'm not overly svelte myself... Still, even if it would likely do no good, I would grab SOMETHING to defend myself if the opportunity presented itself. It's been the downfall of many of my 'scary' dreams when I pick up a bat, or some random object. (chairs are remarkably useful as a thrown weapon)
  4. Not bad... I hope you don't mind, but I like to suggest upgrade paths for systems posted here. First thing you should look into is getting an SSD. Doesn't have to be huge, but it'll be a significant system performance boost. They are as low as $130 for a quality 480GB SSD from Newegg. (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&IsNodeId=1&N=100011693%204814%20600136715%20600076740%20600038499%20600038502%20600038492%20600038491) If you want to go really high-end there are 960GB drives with good performance for as low as $250. Second would be the PSU, simply because most better GPS will require more power, and that would be the biggest bottleneck for gaming in your system. Don't go for under 600w for a new one though, or 800w if you're thinking of doing multi-GPU. Also, higher rating is ALWAYS better, as it reduces strain on the PSU, and reduces power fluctuations that are sent to the motherboard and peripherals. (the fluctuations can get bad enough over time that it can literally fry the hardware in your system, usually starting with the RAM, and northbridge/southbridge of the motherboard) I personally recommend the Rosewill brand. They are inexpensive, but good quality. A 600w from them with 80+ Gold rating is only $75. If you don't care about efficiency, you can drop down to 80+ Bronze rating for a $50 Raidmax PSU @735w. (Raidmax is another good brand with generally low prices, but not quite as good in quality as Rosewill in my experience) Third is, of course, the GPU. Since you aren't likely to go spend $300-$500 any time soon on the previous upgrades, I recommend waiting for the Nvidia Pascal GPUs that will be coming out later this year. I don't recommend any AMD cards currently out (or in the planning stages) as an upgrade over what you already have, mainly because they aren't better on the price/performance ratio than competing Nvidia GPUs. Also, AMD can't make a professional driver to save their lives. (they have been known in the past to flat out ignore entire portions of standard OpenGL and DirectX code calls when deploying drivers, and I have personally been burned by them MANY times by AMD on various levels of GPUs, but never on the numerous Nvidia GPUs I've used and abused, even if they were cheap or old) After those three upgrades, you'd really need to get a new motherboard/CPU/RAM setup for increased performance, so I won't get any further into the upgrades unless you'd like a full new system design made for you.
  5. They're going to have a die shrink and an architecture change, the CEO was saying it can have 10x the performance of Maxwell, it should be pretty huge. Now, because I'm cynical, my guess is it CAN be that fast, but they'll just make sure it's just 15% faster than whatever AMD's offerings are, and just trickle down upgrades over several years. I'm not quite as cynical... I'm guessing 20%.
  6. Trying to find something to do that isn't going to make me "meh".
  7. Makes nice comments about me.
  8. Boring.
  9. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lidar (3 seconds on Google gets you many answers) No. I refuse to eat sandwiches that have either. One major common allergy, (one very common substance that throws you into anaphylactic shock) or a ton of minor common allergies? (almost everything you come into contact with throughout the day causes a strong headache, shortness of breath, and nausea)
  10. That depends on the definition of 'strange' that you use... Probably Pink Floyd's The Wall. (if you listen to it carefully, it's incredibly strange) You opinion on the movie 'Tucker and Dale vs. Evil'? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1465522/
  11. 8/10 I was aiming at the 5, but my finger hit the 8... I'm too lazy to use the backspace, but not lazy enough to not type this long sentence.
  12. Deadpool.
  13. qc5G7r3PUlM
  14. 1VoerY8IDGg
  15. Trying to decide if I should try torrenting Rainbow Six Siege... Maybe later.
  16. Best scene in Star Trek, by a small margin. I have many more, but this is the best.
  17. You could probably hire someone online to deal with it for you, but it's hard to find them, and some law enforcement agencies consider it 'looking for a hitman' despite it not having any form of physical harm intended to the subject. (and usually no lasting emotional harm either)
  18. The problem is that the legal age for consumption of pornographic imagery varies between no regulation at all, 14 years old, 16 years old, 18 years old, 21 years old, and an outright ban on all pornographic imagery for all ages. NSFW is an abbreviation for 'Not Safe For Work', and accurate for use in this situation, mainly because I can find records of no company (globally) that doesn't forbid pornographic viewing on company computers. (excluding porn manufacturers)
  19. You obviously haven't dealt with a professional style sound system, or you wouldn't be asking this.
  20. The Simpsons has a plethora of random scenes, all of excellent quality... Maybe we should all just start quoting them.
  21. The period should come before the parenthesis, at the end of the word "perfectionistic". Also, parenthetical expressions come after the comma and space when interjecting in that type of location. (the parenthetical expression is not a part of the sentence, so it should not affect the standard layout of the punctuation)[/grammarnazi]
  22. My question is: Why are you spreading his video around, getting him more views, and then wondering why he's getting support?
  23. The likely reason is that most people would pick up a weapon or tool and do anything but run around in circles dodging an enemy... Once realism is broken, fear dissipates. This is the main reason I don't like the vast majority of these types of games, they are completely unrealistic to me, and result in a total lack of immersion, thereby losing the scare factor, which is losing the reason the game exists. This is also a major reason why most horror movies suck at scaring people. (though I have to say that Tucker and Dale vs. Evil is a good movie, simply because it's remarkably more realistic than you would expect from a B movie spoof)
