  1. You will know for sure this weekend anyways.
  2. You mean to help riggers set up cut scenes and such they would have extras go through the motions, possibly with motion capture. Or maybe instead of cut scenes they would shoot scenes with actors. A simulated voice would have to be extremely good. We already know we are not looking at people. Take away the remaining human characteristic from the character and the result would wind up very plastic.
  3. It's some kind of special edition HD card. It's got tons of heat conductive metal tubes sticking out of it. Hard to fit it in the case. A shame, because it was really silent the first year I had it. Theres no harm in experimenting a little on it I suppose. Might learn a bit about what to do when the next one becomes clogged.
  4. Starting to get artifacting related probably to overheating. I took it appart thanks to an extra small screw set I borrowed, but the obstruction is inside metal it looks like, short of dipping the whole thing in acid or replacing the cooling unit I don't know what do do. and since I was contemplating putting together a budget system anyway might as well start now. Is anyone current on graphics cards. 2gb, good performance v price ratio is what I'm looking for.
  5. Don't worry, it will still be the cool one.
  6. I grew up on those, I remember the first time I picked one up with the red binding. I couldn't believe that their existed books where you could chose your own story. I then moved on to the famous Fighting Fantasy books by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingston. Who remembers "The Warlock of Firetop Mountain" A lot of them had great artwork. I must have coerced my mom into getting almost all of them when I was a wee lad.
  7. http://store.steampowered.com/app/226880/ I was pretty well satisfied with Dawnguard as regards length. This time you get entirely new locale as well to give you a little respite from the drudgery of drauger slaying. I think I'll bite. Thoughts. ?
  8. Computer browser program... Did you mean windows explorer, the file browser tree in windows, as opposed to internet explorer. Not even my mother uses IE anymore.
  9. Well it's owned by Disney, it will be a children's movie. There will be nothing even remotely controversial or challenging about it. If you recall there was some. Or at least some people believed the last movie to be a jab at the Bush administration. Give it to Lars Von Trier. It will either be brilliant or boring 50% chance of either.
  10. I'm with AGX in that I reserve the right not to bother even trying to understand why people would pay big bucks for conceptual weirdness. I do think it's pretty damn impressive to be able to pull off a career doing it. They are like the ultimate ballsiest con artists in the universe. The thin red line between something that anyone could do and genius. Now that's the really interesting thing. We're not meant to be able to understand it, if we did then the spell would wear off.
  11. More intersted in the new Star Trek. cpt. Kirk seems to be little more than a pretty face, but that's fine. I don't mind rooting for the bad guys. None of the Star Trek movies were any good, but I don't understand why people insist the reboot is worse than the TNG movies. I just know I will enjoy this going into it with low expectations.
  12. My knees hurt, so do my muscles. Freezing even in a heated room. I guess whatever was around months ago finally caught up to me. No nausia yet so I'm still hopeful.
  13. My theory is that he has Russian family but currently studies in Norway.
  14. Supporter, trying to run down the game clock. 'Ball boy', luls. How middle class.
  15. I find it rather curious that no one considered that the reason for the mask might be that once you join the Legion Etrangere you get a new name and a new identity. As far as the rest of the world is concerned who you were doesn't exist anymore.
  16. Since it doesn't have very clear leadership and a cell based structure, it's basically no more than a loosely defined anti western terrorist ideology. If you are Al-Qaeda you generally shout it from the rooftops. They constantly try and outdo eachother to gain fame.
  17. How quiet is your system. On paper fans are supposed to offer a good noise ratio, but over time **** gets into all the nooks and crannies and they start making an infernal racket. Some of that dust also gathers inside your graphics cooling unit where you can't get to it easily and requiring faster spinning under full load to compensate for reduced efficiency. There are still fans in a water cooled system, notably one fast spinning one near the CPU connection, but is that something that can easily be replaced, say once every year. No, 'g.ook' is not a racial slur. I should be offended the filter thought me so crass.
  18. So you need content designed for the display in order to even use it. That's doesn't bode well for the success of the device. Or are they just talking about having more demos ready for a maximum launch effect.
  19. Was that the one where N. Korea invades Australia. luls.
  20. The show really is quite good at the musical acts for the most part.
  21. http://www.pinkbike.com/video/32445/
  22. You don't have to move your head at all, the controller can do that. I do kinda suspect the wow factor will wear off after a while. We'll see what actual humans (as opposed to gaming journalists) think when production models start becomming available.
  23. It's basically what they wanted to do in the 90s with VR, but couldn't. It would be great for a compact gaming system, something that would fit in a small bag. The real question is how will it do endurance wize. Is it something you could bear having on for a few hours at a time. The hardware issues aren't insurmountable and the screens are already there. Apple retina display for instance. It should be able to mimic stereoscopic vision better than current generation 3D.
  24. They want to stop a potential hard line sharia regime on the edge of Europe and protect their interests. The difference from, say, Chechnya, is that most of the world seems to agree which is why there is a UN mandate and a Pan African intervention force. France probably are getting nostalgic about their lost empire, but I seriously doubt this is a move to try and reinstate it.
