He was trying to get you. The term you are looking for, Jarno, is stepfather. I feel like an old man already (I'm only 24) because I already have 2 nephews. One who is not loved by his mother (stupid shithead cousin got herself knocked up, didn't have the cojones to get an abortion, had the...

We are getting an awful lot of ladies on the forums now, aren't we? j/k :moon:

You can kill people with radio waves. Remember that the microwave works by exciting the water molecules in what you put into the oven. Guess what happens if you stand in front of a radar dish for too long, you get cooked. IIRC, the Mig 25 had a radar that was so powerful that pilots were...

I'm going to start off by explaining that I don't handle alcohol very well, so my quantities are usually what people would consider the first 3 drinks. Beers: although Panamanian beer is considered pretty good for a local beer, I don't drink any of it. Quilmes from Argentina is a favorite...

I started smelling a big mutated rodent back when Blizzard wanted to release their new Starcraft game for a console. A console release...for a game that developed a cult following on the PC. Don't listen to John Romero, that guy is still sulking because the binary shitburgers he cooked...

Vista is not that bad. Granted they moved around things too much but it's not a bad OS, the ME comparison is really not fair. Some games will run like ass but that was expected. You still need to remember that Microshaft no longer passes from Beta to Retail. They just release the Beta as...

Ahhh, I remember those days when I would take metal maps, and build a veritable fortress with 4 or 5 layers of defenses: Berthas for long range, plasma batteries for medium, lasers and rockets for short range + the annihilator laser cannon. Multiple builder airplanes, patrolling, making sure...

Cedar Mill is MUCH better than Prescott. It's 65nm process so the TDP (Thermal Design Power) is 86W (on the B1 and C1 steppings) or 65W (on the D0 stepping) instead. I was trying to get a 671 for my computer but the Gigabyte engineers won't update the BIOS so that I could use Cedar Mill cores...

I'm just wondering how long will the Taiwan-China split last. As we have seen with China, they have the penchant for long-scope strategies. In my country we have both interests fighting each other, Taiwan has the upper hand over here as Evergreen (marine transportation company) already owns...

Basically: DDR - Low latency but low bandwidth DDR2 - High latency but high bandwidth Depending on the application that you are going to use them for, one factor might do more to improve performance than another. Check out Tomshardware and Anandtech for benchmarks. Remember that...

My only beef with DC is how unbalanced the sides start off. The freaking Orks start very close to the stage that gives you the bonus of pre-building before attacking another map and they take it so early that by the time you finally have a sizable force to attack it, they are hunkered down and...

Yeah, and its a DX10 card so it will save a lot of hassle once Microshaft turns DX10 into a requirement for all new games. Another bit of advice, hold on to your receipts and all the original packing. If you ever need to RMA it, you might need it.

Still slaving at Hell Tech Support but for Latin America and the Caribbean. Less consumer customers but still the same shite. Looking to move into a training position to get away from the phone.

If they had to include San Francisco again in F3, they could get quite a few ideas on how to model it in 3d (isometric is a must though) from that island. Providing that you played on the same locations of course, IIRC on Van Buren, you wouldn't visit the same locations again. You would fight...

It's evident from those guys mental diarrhea that they haven't understood. They read the article yes, yet they didn't understand it. That aside, it's evident that Bethesda is trying to pull a FoPoS on us. They'll rape the game, Oblivion-ate it and when the hordes of console-trash get...

I guess it all comes down to how much money you are willing to commit on your purchases. I do know one thing: I'm not spending $450 on a video card ever again.

I think that one of the old turn-based games allowed you to do just that. If you played well enough as the Germans, you ended up attacking the US East Coast. Don't remember the name, though.

A positive aspect about Silent Hill is that the plot is really convoluted. I used to think that it was about a guy who wandered into a peculiar town that had its fine share of unsavory denizens. If you want to read on the weirder aspects of Silent Hill, I reccomend the following plot...

I give the game 1 year before modders recreate ARM and CORE. I really miss the Big Bertha and the ability to build multi-layered defenses. The game is out boys, get your machines ready.

That is an excellent point. From personal experience I can tell you that buying "cutting-edge" cards is not as fun as people make it out to be. You pay a premium for a product that will be replaced with a better one in less than a year. This happened to me when I bought a 6800 GT from BFG...
