    Star Citizen - media blowout, Chris Robert's new game

    As title says, since I'm a cheap bastard, I've put it off for awhile. After space on my current drives got low, I convinced myself it was a good idea to get an SSD. After reading a few forums for installation tips, the installation went very smooth. After the first reboot to desktop, I was...

    Upgrade or not?

    Thanks to everyone for the advice! I've decided to wait till the 660's are released then visit the issue again. Hopefully, I'll be able to have a larger budget. If not, the price will only be less. As I implied before... while I enjoy gaming immensely, I rarely get the opportunity to do so...

    Ahh, thanks for pointing that out. I was unaware our Quickfix link is dead. I'll ask one of the staff to host it on our resources instead of relying on hosts elsewhere. :) In regards to the Hardware Update, you are correct. It is included with the Quickfix patch. That is the reason the...

    Sorry to hear that you had difficulty installing the mod. TBH, I really don't know what to say... I mean thousands of players have successfully installed the mod and have characters on the server. I wish there was an easier way to implement the mod, however Microsoft refused to give us any...
