I just wish to raise to people who don't know that they actually changed the cover in Europe to the American one, at least on the main land, eventually. You can find plenty of French copies with the American release art for example.

The 550Ti struggles enough as it is that you won't want to turn on PhysX anyway if you want any form of performance. It's sad to see, but it's an unfortunate truth.

Only proof I had was a post filled with people showing what they had done - a post I can't find again. In light of this, I will back down. I never argue a point without proof.

You don't touch the 550Ti. You simply don't. You'd be better off buying AMD in that price range.

...and a large part of that community was playing on pirated versions that, to begin with, still hooked onto Steam.

One of the reasons why the Mummies of Egypt lasted the thousands of years was due to help from the dry and cool conditions of the tombs they were encased in.

Seemed to work well enough for Brandon.

Unless they have developed the technology to break up the instruments of a song without it sounding terrible, in real time, then changing the envelopes is what is most likely going to happen. As much as I'd like it any other way.

Apparently EA is also working on technology that will allow those things to happen to players' custom soundtracks. It'll do those things to your own music, which sounds great (and a little hard to believe) to me.

It's possible you have to now - you didn't, originally.

Actually it is, their current company plan is franchises with installments often, rather than rare releases. It is why they have several studios working on CoD.

I don't see why it'll need a good CPU over a good graphics card.

The reason why the game looks so good is because of the simplicity of the graphics. I think it'd look just as good upscaled for that very reason, without needing the oomph of Frostbyte =)

Skyrim isn't helping as much as you'd expect - many, including myself, do not consider it a leap in technology on the same scale as BF3, and expect to run it perfectly fine on the hardware we have. Maybe not maxed, but at least passable.

It's not really a game and it's not really lessons per say, it's just a good visual tool for learning. I like setting it so it doesn't move forward until I hit the correct next note - at least to begin with. Then I up the pace slowly from 50%

You can get cheap MIDI > USB adapters for about $20 if you look for them. Don't need to get a whole new card for it.

If you're still trying to learn the Keyboard look up Synthesia. Assuming you can hook yours into your computer that is.

I never had an issue with them.

What I had hoped they would do is make the cases filled with holes like they are doing with some 360/PS3 cases right now. Less plastic used for the same strength and size.

I'm already going to preorder it, just would be nice you know? =)
