My opinions on Skyrim are similar to yours, in my first reply in this thread, I explained that I feel even using DX9, Skyrim is a very beautiful game, made even more so by the copious number of mods I run to get as much immersive gameplay experience as I can out of it- they uber-realistic flora and fauna, etc. The…

Oh, don't get me wrong, none of my comments are directed at the video above, I can't even see it, since I'm at work (youtube is websensed). My critiquing was directed solely at the Bethesda games, not comparing them to anything. Skyrim lacked polish, as has every Bethesda game I have ever played on PC

While not a concrete definition, an RTS usually incorporates resource gathering, base building, and control of multiple units. I'm not well-versed in MOBA games, but don't they generally give you a predetermined base and let you only control a single unit or character, along with minimizing the resource gathering…

The problem with that is you'd either have to incorporate time compression and put everyone in caps or you'd have very few people actually wanting to pilot them, since it would be like "ok, battle group, let's point to Bookmark 1.

I just had my lunch as well. Yay night shift

Yeah, a lot of the parts that are lacking are "classic Bethsoft" issues, like how it's nearly a tradition to have their games (at least TES games) buggy at release. I don't know if it's that they feel so bound to release dates that they release before it's ready and at this point, they know they can get away with it…

Win!

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I feel that Skyrim was a beautiful game, if a little muted in color, which I fixed with some mods. I do wish they had gone DX11, but I am content with how it looks now on my computer

Um, with all due respect, where the hell do you get off telling me to go fuck myself? I'll tell you what, don't try to judge me and I won't try to judge you.

I'd like to try this out, but they recently banned plastic grocery bags in Austin

Well, depending on location and situation, $65K could be too little. I made slightly more than that this past year (around $72K) and I live in a small town just outside of Austin, so cost of living isn't anywhere close to say New York City. I do rent, which raises up how much is coming out of my pocket considerably,…

That bowl of jjajangmyeon looks super tasty.

Nah, like other animals that are used for work, it's probably tough and stringy. Now if we could find a Fat Chocobo (aka Big Chocobo) sammich, that's the one to get. That guy just sits there invisible waiting for you to summon him with a carrot so he can hold your excess items

lol, I know it's sarcasm, but 13 CDN is 12.76 USD, the USD has fallen quite a bit in the last few years

At a Whataburger drive-thru a Monterey Melt with bacon and a large order of fries (no drink, no extras) will set you back over 10 bucks. I would expect that a sit down place wouldn't cost less unless their portions are very small

My oven might only get to 500, but my barbecue grill gets much hotter ;) The benefit to DIY is not necessarily the quality level, but the fact that a) you know exactly what went into the food and b) you got to have fun going through the process

He doesn't mention exactly what problems he's having. He makes some references to Fraps and benchmarks, but doesn't share the results, not does he outline his system's specs, so it's difficult to give an adequate response. How do games themselves play out? Is the play experience for current games less than…

The 8xxx series is going to be OEM stuff, you will want to wait for the 9xxx series unless you're buying something from ibuypower or something like that

Finally, someone in this thread that gets it. You don't thermite a drive to destroy it, that would be ridiculously dangerous (fumes, fire hazard, etc). We had a portable bulk demag device that you plugged into a 120VAC outlet and you'd hold the switch while waving it within 1 inch of the magnetic storage media. We…

nah, using a bulk demagnetizer is quicker and easier. When you have 20 hard drives and a few hundred reels of magnetic tape, a bulk demagnetizer is your friend
