Child of Flame

Like I said, he hasn't done anything against forum guidelines, he just drives me and other members insane and starts flamewars.

Can some of the powers that be just get it over with and ban Epiphany? Half of the threads in Computer and Console are his at any given time, all of them are Xbox 360 hype. He just pisses everyone else off, knows full well that any threads he starts about the Xbox 360 aren't going to be recieved well due to his track record and continues to make them anyway. If that wasn't enough he spreads his propaganda to other threads and flaming follows. I'd report the guy, but he's a really good troll (a fact I have to admire, as it's hard to tiptoe the line with such finesse), and his greatest offense is generally crude but uncensored language and personal insults. Basically what I am saying is he generally contributes nothing to the community other than flame wars and it's getting tiresome. I'd put him on ignore, but then the posts in response to him wouldn't make any sense.

Is there any particular reason you like handles, especially of the long variety?

I'd be willing to go as barebones as a command line interface if it wasn't my main OS (other than for gaming). Though I doubt you'd even have to do that. You could have it install/run the game when you slip in the CD.

I am not all that code literate, and other than maintainence I don't know all of what the OS does, other than allowing me to use my computer. I do know that the reason consoles are able to put out such impressive graphics with some pretty crappy hardware is because of both the proprietary hardware allowing for more pre-production tweaks, and the comparitively tiny OS which allows the game to take up a lot more system resources than it would be able to on the PC. There is no way to homogenize PCs as a platform without getting rid of half of the fun of owning them, but a scaled down bare bones OS seems more feasible. Basically what I am envisioning is something that would be installed on a separate partition to be used in conjunction with Windows, it would run only things neccessary to keep the computer, and games functioning, as well as internets, but not webbrowsers and IM programs. Could someone who knows more about internal workings of a computer than me tell me if this is feasible?

Hahaha! Also:

Yeah, he was my inspiration. I didn't remember who did it though so I said nothing. I remember in the old days, no Epiphany flooding the Computer and Console Games forum with Xbox 360 hype threads, that was awesome.

It has pretty much the tiniest OS ever, just like all other consoles. A PC has to have better specs to run the same quality games because it has a freaking huge OS doing all sorts of things in the background. I should totally get on making a gaming OS, all just running the games and not much else, you could install it on a second partition or what not for gaming.

If I was able to build a barebones computer with no OS to speak of I bet it could run the same types of games as the Xbox with the same specs, but then, you know, it'd be an Xbox.

Santa Claus is real?!! WTF!!!

Ender and I did the same thing with PNJ, complete with photoshopped screenshots of game websites, but it was shut down by the mods too quickly to get anywhere.

I've been on the same drug before. Once I got off it the pounds started dropping really fast, but the stretch marks remain. :'(

FACT: PEOPLE LIKE THINGS THAT ARE FREE BETTER THAN THINGS THEY HAVE TO PAY FOR!

When the PS3 is released for over $399 - then you'll see the savings. DID I SAY IT WAS A GOOD THING? Do you even read what is written, or do you just throw thoughts/words into people's post to try and pick them apart because you have no substance to your thoughts otherwise? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I snipped off the last part of the post because mkreku covered it pretty well. As for the first part, if the only savings you are talking about is the initial console price tag (I thought you were ranting about the actual games costing more) then yes, so long as the PS3 doesn't release above $550 I see no problem. It has a lot more power than the Xbox 360 from everything I can tell, and when you factor in that Blu-Ray is going to be what DVDs turn into, well, it's a good deal, as Blu-Ray players are gonna be hella expensive at first. As for you saying it was a good thing, I used me 1337 reading comprehension skills there to infer that at the very least you weren't saying it was a bad thing because of this statement: Basically, what I got out of this was "Hey, it's not like it's a big deal, we can just put the games on ten different discs and swap them out!!!"If anyone read this differently, please speak up.

I voted yes. It's not like spam threads are allowed in WoT anyway. This way people who post only in political and non-game threads wouldn't look like greenhorns.

It does do that, but if you think those savings are passed down to the consumer you are sorely mistaken. So you are saying having to swap discs is a good thing?!! Do you even read what you post? These points remain to be seen. Both consoles hardware are pretty similar, minus the crappy storage medium on the Xbox 360, if either console's hardware is better it is the PS3, judging by the Video RAM (360 uses shared RAM, this is never good. ) and possibly the Cell, depending on whether the entirety of it's power can be harnessed. Every time you post that the games are of a higher quality when you haven't even played them yet and the platform is better when you haven't even touched one yet I question your sanity. If anything th gameplay footage from PS3 looks better so far, and no, I am not talking about the Killzone 2 footage, but rather things like the MGS4 footage and the demos with the ducks and such at E3.

Play the demo again Fishy. Unless they outright lied the AI is probably the neatoest most innovative thing in this game. Supposedly nothing in this game is scripted except maybe a few of the cheap scares. Also Kaftan, one word for why everyone is so excited about this: Monolith.

That's pretty gay dude.

Pixies and Weiser sittin' in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

Gentlemen?

Dude, shut up. I'm 18, you friggin retard! Why in the hell does everyone on this site have a problem with me? :angry: And to the ass who compared me to Eddo336: stf u. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought you were twelve.
