Be careful my friends. The rabbit hole goes very deep.

haha it's more annoying than anything. I think it has something to do with the real cars' models being far higher in poly count and file size that it overflows the existing game engine's method for randomizing vehicles.

Well I have a Core i5 2500K and Radeon 5870 and at 1920x1080, it runs about 30fps at max everything. Just a lot of crashes to desktop if you want real cars AND the upgraded graphics, at least for me. The other problem is the taxi cab bug where you only see your current car and a shit ton of taxis. i.e. if you have…

Look at all those freaks with pants on. And they're the ones that stare?

I did the ENB realism mods, all the real-life car mods and also ran around as Spawn, but could never get all three to work together. GTA4 looks unbelievable, but you need a beefy PC to run it well.

I never do anything special with my 2009 MacBook Pro 13", charging it whenever, using it down to nothing, leaving it plugged all the time, and after 2+ years, it still shows the same estimate of ~6 hours on a full charge and I actually do get about that much runtime. I think it's a lithium polymer battery though.

I guess no more need for local dimming. Bring on the starfields.

These are pretty nice, but I'm still waiting for something to match the old Sony VAIO Z. 13.1" 1920x1080 (!), Core i7, Blu Ray writer, discrete graphics card (330M), Raid SSD and weighed 3lbs. However, one with these specs broke the bank at ~$3500.

Tempting. Messed with the old one at the store and liked the optional keyboard, touchpad and the fact that you can still use the touchscreen while in laptop mode. Big pluses that is has HDMI, SD and USB, all stuff the iPad doesn't bother with.

I just got Saint's Row 3 for $33. I'm annoyed at myself for passing up on Metro 2033 for $4. These deals are a seriously good way to drum up extra sales of games people probably wouldn't have purchased otherwise at full price. I like never having to find the disc or serial number for those times when I reinstall my…

Things won't get much better when the US Postal Service problems will mean only 4 DVDs a month no matter how fast you return them. I predict newsgroup services will see a spike in new accounts.

The description of how they found her was really chilling to me. Not judging, but I just don't understand the allure of having those kinds of pets when you have children around.

I followed that link for the snake killing a 2 year old girl which made me sad and horrified. What makes these pythons so dangerous is that they fear nothing as demonstrated by the one that tried to swallow an alligator and exploded.

Just please make the hard drive a SATA standard, user-replaceable one like Sony does with the PS3. The world won't come crashing down if you do, Microsoft. Expensive "Accessory" ones are lame and create anger, chaos and disease.

You could also wear a skin-tight "Green Man" suit then have a friend take pictures. I don't think this is against the rules lol

It looks like what a certain Apple product sounds like.

Didn't know that anyone else was even aware of the Super 1600, IMO, one of the most awesome VWs ever.

This laptop seems to emit powerful rage-oholic radiation.

I wish I could find the link where I got the pic. It was some CERN forum and those guys were in deep discussion about Einstein rings and they just totally ignored the drawing, which I found hilarious. Not even sure if the artist was serious or not lol

I'm pretty sure the bean-counters will have a lot to say about how much memory will be in the new consoles, but I'm hoping that they'll utilize some exotic new memory and plenty of it, at least 1GB video and 4GB system. Then we wouldn't have to deal with "1080p" games scaled up from 640p (see GTA4 PS3) that look…
