one thing ive noticed is that 'quality' games (ones that are fun) are usually the ones that look best as well. I think this is mainly because of the effort the developer. If you look at top top teir games on systems they generally have the best graphics on that given system as well (for the time they were released). in…
Actually that is the point. The current system is broken. People are reusing content all over the place without consent of the original author (lolcats, funny pictures, hell even most of the photo source textures we do around here to name a few). And technically all that is illegal and could theoretically get you in big…
I've been testing it as an MSDN developer since te first Longhorn beta was released. I think Vista is the biggest mistake Microsoft could have ever made. They are making things more expensive and more restrictive for everyone. And as the above article states, the cost goes to us. What they should have done in my opinion is…
[ QUOTE ] Judging by the reports from various demos they've given at game conventions/exhibitions around the world, at the moment it's quite unstable and slow. I'll be interested to see how people get along running it. From what I hear even pretty new high-end systems can chug a bit on medium graphics settings. I assume…
don't delete the bootmgr file of your friend if you like to do pranks! Some friends throw sugar on the floor, under the chairs (with wheels). One day they put an "used panty" on the keyboard of a coworker (a new and cheap panty, but wet and dirty to fake its look haha). To put the system in japanese or chinese is another…
If they use the "glorifying war/violence" reasoning to circumvent the freedom of expression I demand the Bible and the Quran to be outlawed. Those books have proven negative effects on the development of children and glorify war and violence to a point where no sane and responsible person can allow anyone to handle these…
You guys might want to consider building a page showing all the submitted art outside of polycount, and a thumbnail system linking to that from here. Also agreeing on some sort of presentation rules. Is this the actual prof teaching the class here? I have a hard time making up whats this demo threads are about, a bit of…
Why does it have hydraulic pistons? in those locations? I can't really see how they would work. Now if the piston went from the upper leg to the lower one then it would pull the lower half closer causing it to "flex" properly. However if it's got that oversized flex wheel for the joint it should have all the systems…
The missile defense will weaken the onslaught but unless your enemy fires only 2-3 missiles instead of unloading his entire arsenal and perhaps adding a few dummies to distract the system enough will get through to nuke the entire country 4-5 times over. The Patriot has a 50% chance of hitting a single missile, can't tell…
From what little I know about them they're expensive and even the best ones only last a couple of hours. Besides, as far as I know they will only kick in when your residential power drops out and your problem is in your system, so I don't think that'd help at all. If I were you I'd invest in a good, new PSU. Get a better…
