Gametap has sufficed for me, although I do own it on disc too anyway...

I actually just spent some time Googling that to see if I could find some evidence of your claim, and I did not. the main reason was there's always been bewilderment over why the ride heights on the cars was so wrong. Since Jackie Stewart himself tried out GPL, I'm sure at least by that time...

You know, I went from a 37" 1080p monitor to playing at 30" 1600p, and it's not worth being mad or jealous about. I'm actually just too lazy to put my 37" back center, otherwise I'd already be back to playing on it. Bigger screen, less pixels so better framerate. TBH - I have three monitors...

I started off @ 300. But I did skip 1200 and went straight to 2400 next. Man, that was like the difference between dial-up and highspeed internet today!

I could be wrong, but I think I heard now they're hard to find? Not sure why anyone wants one. They still feel like a toy. A $300 today, but a toy nonetheless. I remember buying it and my first impression was to continue saving my money for a real ~$1K+ setup with an even better cockpit...

Yeah, I realized right away the graphics aren't anything to write home about when I put everything to max and @ 2560x1600, my framerates were buttersmooth above 60... That said, I do believe they are improved over TDU1...

Playing GPL on a keyboard makes about as much sense as playing Dead Space 2 with my steering wheel. I think I did try that once though, just to see if I could have some quick GPL action without having to drag out a wheel every time. Yup, made about as much sense as the thought of playing DS2...

Hard to say. Is the text of the pages just stored as .txt files, or are we talking about high-DPI lossless .BMP scans of the pages? :D Almost ironic that the picture books are the ones that will take up the most storage space?

Who watches the speedometer in these games? I don't. GPL - since this doesn't have a speedometer, I'm not sure how you fared. But yeah, from my experience with it, only 100 hours? It probably takes 100 hours just to finally drive in that game and be very comfortable with it...

Exactly. Golden reviews are taken seriously, whereas golden showers are just meant for our viewing pleasure. And who the hell said all he does is criticize games? Wasn't his Mass Effect glowingly positive? He liked that game so much he suggested they call it "Mass Erect" to convey his...

No, there's a clear consensus: Those with experience in TDU1 and other even better racing games are saying to pass on TDU2. Those without experience in TDU1, and only having experience in some other unfortunate racing games, are praising TDU2. Seems clear to me? if you have experience...

Bioshock 2. Amazon has it for $16, but were just offering two quarters. Now the price has lowered even more, and they're only offering a single quarter.

Atari stopped at six patches so they could focus on TDU2. TDU1 still has bugs, and some show-stopping ones, too. My favorite is the game save corrupting bug. Atari's fix? Save the game save twice, so now you're only half as likely to run into it. But only half as likely is the...

No, he was talking about the IBM "Deathstar" issues from a decade ago, well before he ever even owned a HD, never mind a Hitachi HD...

http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1036789958&postcount=6 Amazingly you were saying the exact opposite a week ago?

Since they're thicker, and hold far less, I wouldn't be surprised for it to reach all the way... to Uranus. ;)

Apparently that "Butch" guy that's been mentioned is now saying that Atari is already working on a patch, that they had to release the game, no more delays: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=20637 Maybe this will be like TDU1 - I picked it up after the sixth...

Wow, I can't believe that Atari has FUBARed this so bad that while TDU1 is my favorite game the past few years, having played hundreds of hours on it... TDU2 is a pass! Wow, I knew when I participated in the beta a few months back and my first impression was "I got a bad feeling about...

Well, I've been discussing with her to give her my 37" Westy for her computer so that she can read better what's on the screen. So, she's either getting my 37" Westy or this 42" iSymphony. Preferably both. I'm tired of spending time burning WS 720p/1080i/1080p HD programming for her onto...

Sweet, under $400 shipped with a 4-yr SquareTrade warranty! My mom's birthday is Friday. Got it for Sat shipping, fastest I could. Day late, but I'm sure she'll be surprised! (I also won't be shocked if she tells me to send it right back...) :eek:

They were OOS when I posted that... Even SD stated they were OOS: http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2657971&page=10 Back in stock! Deal lives again!

I still have that video of you playing SSHDFE or SE in its Eyefinity/surround goodness sitting on my HD somewhere! :D Funny thing is that while SS2 was all I did in Nov, I was still strong enough to not let it make me play SSFE/SE over again, though. I need to force myself to play newer...

Swear I don't mean this as a threadcrap, but how good/bad is Croteam when it comes to announcements, and then delays? I loved the SS games. Heck, I just finally played Serious Sam 2 for the first time back in Nov, and it was almost the only game I played that month. IIRC, I did at least...

$432 shipped for a used monitor from someone named "itbiteme" with no seller history? I'd rather pay a little more for new straight from a reputable seller like Amazon.

http://hardforum.com//showthread.php?t=1584619 They may be #1 in customer satisfaction (loyalty/satisfaction), but the funny thing is, they still throttle your queue. Have three discs to mail back? Can fit in one envelope? Send one envelope! But, wait, Netflix received all three back...

16:9 is better for 1080i/p television, since that's 16:9. Movies are typically 1.85:1 - 2.35:1. So, that's anywhere from 16.65:9 - 21.15:9. Buy a 30" and have the pleasure of 2560x1600? I have a 37" 16:9 1080p monitor, and I can't buy a 4:3 monitor that's that wide, and I can't buy a 4:3...

Let me re-phrase something... I said "everything sounds good with your rebate experience..." More appropriate: "Everything sounds typical..." Yes, EVGA is probably one of the more trusted and reputable rebates around, and even they took about a month between receiving my stuff, and...

He has experience using ~50 drives in "a number of RAID setups". Now, let's assume that even "a number" is only four, I'd go as low as three, but three is typically "a few". That's coming out to roughly four arrays of 12 drives. So, the biggest array he has professional experience with is a...

Your quote gives no actual dates, but in their wording of the terms you link to they do have this: You can send it in. They can receive it. Neither date yet matters, though. It's when the rebate is approved is what matters. I'll look through my EVGA e-mails and such, but you open a rebate...

Never mind that AMD's drivers won't hardly even be acceptable for public consumption 'til Q1/Q2 next year... (Q4 if they hire Nvidia's guys...)

Was this meant to be funny? My first reaction was to LOL, but then I realized you might be trying to be serious? Eh, who cares, LOL however you actually meant it...

I was just thinking what a glorious day it will be when we can stack all of the pr0n optical discs together, and they can reach all the way out and touch... Uranus. :cool:

I dunno, Doom or Quake with Duke Nuke'm or Serious Sam just wouldn't have the same tense atmosphere IMO... Both style of games have their place, and both types of games would lose their tension/atmosphere if the main character were either now chatty or silent. I mean, I'm finally on to...

http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1546247 That thread is what has kept me from upgrading my 6GB, even to 12GB (3 x 4GB). I made the decision "if it ain't broken, don't fix it!" Only 6GB sucks for some things, but for gaming it's fine. It's only when I want to multi-task and do...

Wow, I can put 24GB of new sticks in my machine for under $230... I paid that much for 6GB just seven months ago!

Wow, sad... Two years ago I didn't even know what this franchise was. When I saw some Youtube clips, I instantly realized how much time I would have spent a generation ago with this game had it come out when I was a kid. I still find it funny Slash having to admit he sucks at these games...

I'd also like to note that it was suggested to me I had a corrupted profile. Even a clean install of FF4bxx on a clean install of 7 (yes, even went that far)... IMDB insta-crash. So, unless FF4b11 fixed my supposed corrupt profile, the problem was FF. So yeah, I was a proper FF beta...

Azhar, FF4 beta was unusable for me for five months, then suddenly usable and nearly 100% stable in the most recent beta. It would lock up or crash every five minutes. It was like that for five months. Some betas made it worse, as regular sites like IMDB, CNN, Amazon and Youtube were...

From what I've seen, Amazon is a joke. Every time I look around to purchase a game, it asks if maybe I have a copy I'd like to sell? Kicker is, I sell it to Amazon for the amazing value of "$0.50" Amazon credit. Jeebus, only two quarters? Burn that much gas taking the item to the post...

And give fellow [H]ers more than 84 min to respond before wondering why no one's responding... Also be nice to know the expected budget minus HDs. You can put together some budget servers as a whole (including almost all of the drives) for practically the price of some single RAID...
