  1. Browsers are hardware accelerated now a days. I had several system locks and it took a while to figure out it was caused by the combination of google Chrome and an AMD driver update. So yeah, don't necessarily use the latest version.
  2. Ben Affleck killed Daredevil. Killing the Batman franchise, now that would be impressive. Anyway Superman always sucked, nostalgia can't change that.
  3. I'm guessing someone wanted to do Dark Knight returns or a similar slant on the story and was shot down by the studio. That's what I saw in the trailer, even down to batman's plate armor style. In Dark Knight Batman is basically Dirty Harry fighting to win no matter the cost, Superman is a 'yes man' taking orders from the president. So they set themselves up for the recreation of one of the best Batman series ever and of course people were disappointed. I haven't seen it of course, but they were probably too careful in maintaining the image of their prized possessions for anything interesting to come out of it.
  4. And I'm curious what constitutes a win scenario for the EU, since they aren't dialing down their immigration policies and the entire handling of the refugee crisis was bizarre from the start. Never have I seen nominally powerful nations with so little control over what happens at their borders. What are we hoping for here? To destroy ISIS? So what, a new ISIS will emerge somewhere else under some other name. Relocate and reeducate the entire ME? lol wut We wanted to help to begin with. Clearly we underestimated the challenge. Now there is a deal with Turkey, you might have noticed. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/refugee-deal-between-turkey-and-eu-sparks-chaos-on-greek-islands-a6943066.html
  5. I'm curious as to what constitutes a win scenario for the bombers. They must have a strategy. Perhaps they think European ground forces in Syria would lead to a favorable outcome. That would make it easier to sell the whole race/culture war. Maybe they want muslims and immgrants in Europe to experience more discrimination, escalating internal unrest. Maybe they just forgot why along the way.
  6. so what's the other kyojin ass crack person ?
  7. The baldness is not what matters anyway. It's whether you look good in profile. If you have the bump where your skull meets your neck in the right place it looks Jason Statham and you're all good. If not Either way you are easier to draw.
  8. If he was a woman he would so be a feminist.
  9. I don't remember shopping for a monitor ever being this hard. Don't care about 4k gaming since the gfx you would have to get is still too expensive. I would take the jump and upgrade just to have a 4k desktop, but which one. My current GFX doesn't support 4k. My built in HD graphics would, but that would be terrible performance wise even in 2d.
  10. Not going to be an early adopter here when there is not even a AAA title made specifically for VR on the horizon yet. They are pretty pricey and you pay that amount again to upgrade your GFX to run one. 900 Pounds for the HTC in Europe. We always get screwed like that. Oculus haven't even bothered with an EU reseller so you pay like 20% extra for shipping and extra xbox controllers.
  11. I dunno, does anyone other than republicans really care about that. Maybe they should, it's just that it seems to have played out much like Obama's citizenship among supporters.
  12. Actually they have both had the lead. Long time ago, but AMD ruled the (CPU) world in the 90s. They were given permission by intel to create x86 processors so Intel's buyers would still have a source for chips if say the intel plant got leveled in an earthquake or something. True story. Certain compilers are designed to run better on Intel hardware than AMD, it's kinda like what NVidia does with physics and god-rays. etc. They want their proprietary tech to run on everything, but run much better on their hardware.
  13. I pity the republicans. I guess we were all expecting the joker candidates to be replaced by more centrist candidates capable of appealing to a larger group of people. Sanders is 'out' and Trump... won ?. How can they not give him the nomination now. We don't really know what he's going to do as president. I don't think he does himself, he just wants to get to fly around in air force one.
  14. I'm hoping there is going to be a winner somewhere down the lower price ranges as 14 mn chips become more common, but it sounds like the thing if you want something capable of running 4k and you don't care what things cost.
  15. Soo. Whatever you do it would be stupid to buy anything before the new cards and the attendant price drops. I could really use a new card, but a 3 month placeholder. That's a bit too much of a waste of money.
  16. No great surprise there. Why are there no questions on campaign finance, Sanders is hardly the only one going on about that.
  17. Where is the quiz anyway ?
  18. Where is the quiz anyway ?
  19. No, you sent off four reports full of barely controlled rage to the mod team.
  20. Last level was kinda dissapointing design wise as well. Enemy teleporting all over the place and it's not really possible to make intelligent decisions other than run after avatars and try to kill them before the clock runs out and you get overwhelmed. Was not into the manga hairdo commander avatar at all. Still it was better than the final mission in the reboot which was much too short and not challenging enough. They could have taken a page from the old games and done a two part mission, like the alien base on the moon. I got one base defense mission which is basically just 'defend these tiles or fail.' Fairly disappointing. Was looking forward to fighting the invaders inside the ship. Also no flying units other than one enemy type and no mechs. Doing an ironman now , looks like I'm going to lose, after which I will probably forget about it until the DLC are all out.
  21. Made me think. I mean everyone saw that movie but there is more going on than most people notice http://imgur.com/gallery/d3eeuWO
  22. you just get a random one though. So far I've never had two of the same kind. Or can you build them. I forget.
  23. I never do one or the other all the way because there always seems to be a better choice. Arguably the last sniper skill is the best, it's the one where you get an action for every kill, but you really need diversity as well. I have been saved a number of times by being able to move and use fan shot. Pistols also never run out of ammo.
  24. Just got my entire squad wiped out by giant laser war walkers and reanimating bioshock armors I guess the endgame difficulty hit.
