Depends on your case. If your GPU becomes 100 degrees Celsius and you have bad ventilation in the case, then yes, it will start to affect other parts as well (there was one Geforce passive cooled card that actually reached above 100 degrees!). If you have enough ventilation, the heat probably won't spread much from the GPU to anything else. Unless you have a very cramped case, in which case it's almost impossible to get rid of the excess heat.

I'm kind of happy I live in Sweden, in a completely different time zone, so I slept through the Leafs losing a one-goal game. Again.

Yeah, that's the only time in the whole movie with humour. "Your mother?" "She likes to think so." Or how about "Most of the time, when people say 'we have people everywhere,' it's just a figure of speech. I mean, florists say that." He also impersonated a hitman and saved a damsel in distress without so much as an aggressive glare. He managed to find out who most of the participants were at a covert meeting. Yes.. Like I said, you mentioned the only one worth mentioning in the previous post. The follow up takes place all of five minutes after the first movie. Surprise, Bond didn't become any more subtle in the five minutes since the woman he loved died. The protagonist isn't super-ultra-suave just after the woman he loved was killed, revealed to be a double agent, and manipulated by a super-evil super-secret organization (not necessarily in that order)? Surprise! Are you trying to prove my point or yours..? I mean, all you've done here is confirm what I've said: there's no promiscuity anymore. He's not the Bond I dreamed of becoming when I was a little toddler anymore. I don't care about the reason for it. Would it be anymore unbelievable that he'd have a new girlfriend five minutes after his last one died than seeing him fall ten stories through a glass ceiling and walk away unscathed? I certainly don't think so.

Since I found all the SPECIAL bobbleheads in my first playthrough, I thought I'd collect them rather early in my second playthrough. Trust me, when you get to the Deathclaw lair at level 5 equipped with a 10 mm pistol and little ammo, THEY ARE MIGHTY. I think I spent an hour watching various slow motion scenes of me being spluttered all over the walls before I gave up. I will have my revenge.. in 10 or so levels..

I agree. I don't miss Q Branch or the gadgets one bit. So you two are OK with Bond not doing what Bond usually does in his movies. That's OK with me. I just feel it's a bit sad that they can't balance the two roles of Bond and macho action hero better. I guess this review sums up most of what I think of Quantum of Solace: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showb...icle1730883.ece

This is pretty funny. You mention the spy activities as him signing into a hotel under a fake name/title AND the humour with the same example.. and those are probably the only ones worth mentioning in the entire movie! Besides, is it really a spy activity worth mentioning signing into a hotel under a fake name..? You need to rewatch the older Bonds, my friend. The old Bond used his charm, flirted with girls and slept with them to get what he wanted. New Bond has slept with ONE girl since his dead girlfriend and you call that being promiscuous? And he doesn't really have time to flirt or charm his way through problems, he's too busy killing everyone. Which was cool in Casino Royale (seeing as he was new and rough), but I was hoping he'd have evolved into a smoother agent in the follow-up. Instead the opposite happened. I saw Bulock thought Quantum of Solace is a more Bond-ish Bond film. Which is rather odd as it's the least Bond-ish Bond film I've seen. I'm not saying it's bad (because it's a good action movie), but I just can't see where you find the Bond in it.

I'm under constant moderation though :D

Someone made the effort to make a video of the few Dead Island screenshots that have so far surfaced: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/289482.htm Dead Island is a game about a guy who's trapped on a holiday resort when a zombie plague breaks out. It's supposed to be free-roaming, kind of survival horror with lots and lots of space and zombies. MY KIND OF GAME! Techland is a Polish company with a very good grasp of the technical aspects of game development (see Chrome, Call of Juarez and Xpand Rally) but they still haven't managed to tie it all together into a really great game. Let's hope this will be it.

Pot. Kettle. Black. And all that.

I recently saw Quantum of Solace. Let's hope there's much less of that than Casino Royale in Alpha Protocol.. But I wouldn't mind if they based some of Thorton on Craig's depiction of Bond. Quantum of Solace isn't really a Bond movie, it's just an ordinary action flick with someone named Bond. There are no gadgets, no Q, no spy activities (well, not in the old school kind), no humour, no silly one-liners, no promiscuity, no hiding in hollow crocodiles.. You can clearly tell it wasn't based on any of Fleming's books, even though it's supposed to be loosely based on one of Fleming's novels.

Blue, red or purple?

Yeah, me too. But it might be a good thing that the Leafs won't be sending anyone this year.. Of course, at least we won over the slimy Oilers tonight! FNAR FNAR

Apparently, I played this game the 'right' way. I created my character in the vault, went to Megaton after getting out and from there I was on my own. I didn't touch the main quest until I had gorged myself on the beautiful wasteland for hours and hours on end. Then, when I felt ready to move on, I finished the main quest in probably under 10 hours. But by then I had gotten a full 50 hours of gametime just wandering around, solving sidequests! I'm very happy with this purchase. More than I can say about Far Cry 2, which is now lying in the dust next to my computer, unfinished.

But Semin is on fire! I knew he was good, but THIS good?! How long can he keep up this frantic scoring tempo?

So.. Basically you go from safe room to safe room while shooting endless amounts of grey people over and over again? Did I miss something? Is there anything else to this game?

I'm not really down about the Leafs, I am as positively surprised as the next guy by the young guys. But I kind of lost interest in the pre-season when things looked bleak and Sundin left so I haven't been following the NHL as closely as I usually do. I guess my disinterest is what you're interpreting as me being down about them.

Hmm.. There IS map travel. You need to walk to each and every place first (as in Fallout/Fallout 2, only in 3D), but then all you have to do is click on the places you've found for insta-travel there. Just like Fallout/Fallout 2.

And the Leafs lost yet another game by one goal. Becoming their trademark this season.

For me, a game without magic and supernatural occurrences is endlessly interesting! If there are real life weapons, and an intelligent story even better! Add to that vast, open maps to explore and an open-ended game design, I'm in heaven. But that's going too far considering this game. Anyhow, I am sure there are more of us who don't need a dragon in every game.

I'm on my second playthrough now and so far I've found The Tenderizer (sledgehammer), Vampire's Bite (a sword) and another bobblehead (number thirteen) I didn't find before. And all three were in areas I had been to before, just not thoroughly enough! So yeah, I'd say they've really made the game explore-worthwhile. It's very difficult to find a balance between doling out too many rewards and not enough rewards (making exploration seem pointless, a la Oblivion), but Fallout 3 is very near the perfect balance.

What?! Shut up! That's the single greatest thing about Fallout 3: the vast and open landscape! It's not very often we who enjoy exploring get games of this magnitude, you know.

I've been hunting for clothes for a seventies party I'm attending this Saturday. My goal is to come up with something like this: I think it would suit me.

Interesting take on DRM: http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=289520 Sure, it's still limited installs. BUT, you can install on a bundle of different computers and play a LAN game with your friends for the next 24 hours! That's at least pretty fair since that's all Sacred is about anyhow.

Pictures or it didn't happen.
