Deathadder isn't my favorite mouse. The copperhead is, but they don't make those anymore. Fortunately, there are still downloadable drivers for DA. So, once they kill DA, I'll be sure and get *10* of them to last me hopefully for the next 5 years :p ... Or attempt to look for another mouse...

Bear in mind I know how to get the 1024x versions of the photos, but not the originals...(?)

I think the source images are stored on here somewhere... dunno how to grab 'em though. There's image source reference to the sub directory: Data%20centers%20%E2%80%93%20Google%20Data%20centers_files/[IMAGE_NAME_HERE].jpg but doesn't seem to work when I try to access it.

That's a pretty good idea, and it's probably what I'll do after making an investment in the disk storage department.

Good lord, man. You're not a nice person. You keep picking on the idea that I lacking certain fragments of technical information makes me an inferior tech. You're spending way too much time bullying me on the subject. And you know what they say about bullies. If I wasn't trying to seek help...

Now that's dedication.

Uhuh... I know what you've said, your presumptions about me, and how you believe the file system in Windows has dramatically changed, but that's it.

Well, there goes your attempt to not insult me. But, for what it's worth, I'm working on getting my A+ cert, not just getting it. There's a big difference there. And, as it is implied that you know, you should know that the A+ cert is geared mostly towards troubleshooting and fixing...

Looks pretty good :D Thanks for the bench screen, BusyBeaver! I got til the 29th to make my final decision on if I should take advantage of that 15% off deal. If I get that during a video capture would be awesome.

I'll consider investing in a new system just to see the results first hand. Besides, I kind of need to anyway since I'm working on my A+ Cert. The one thing I'm still skeptical on, which makes me want to stay where I'm at, is the GPU and the DX rendering. Newer versions of DX seem to get...

What do you mean move on? Doesn't my argument have any merit? What could I possibly benefit in a newer system with the views I have on today's games?

I guess I should explain why I'm still on a Single core processor. It's probably not a good reason, but I guess I'm old fashioned: It's raw power. These multicore processors, particularly with older applications such as the one I'll be doing the video capturing in (Unreal Tech 2.5 engine game...

From my experience, it usually is either the version of Fraps or the lack of available resources from either too many programs loaded or just the wrong ones loaded. I try to turn off every single possible service/app there is whenever I intend to publish a game video.

I've read HDD's can't necessarily take advantage of Sata 6Gbps like SSDs could. Is that true? Luckily I don't have to choose just the VRs, all WD 3.5" hard disks are currently 15% on newegg... 3.5" being the form factor of the package, mind you ;)

Yes, the sig is still valid :) Plus, I'll be playing a game that was made in 2004 based off the Unreal Tech 2.5 engine, and will be using Fraps to capture the game videos. From my understanding, it will be $460 for two. I was hoping that these drives would benefit especially in raid 0. I've...

I've been thinking about getting two 1TB Velociraptors in raid 0 for mostly capturing game videos, and right now they are 15% off with a promo code on newegg. I think it's limit 1 per customer on the promo deal, but at the discount price it will come to $230. Think this is a good deal? Or do...

They still can't ship CD's right... that is for those of you who still purchase CD's ;)

Thanks for the responses, guys! I wanted to use the X-Fi platinum/champion/whatever, the card with the I/O panel included simply for convenience. I don't think I have ever took advantage of the digital audio stuff, and I have no idea on how it works to be honest. I always just used the...

Does the Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium Fata1lty Champion card and I/O Panel use gold-plated connectors like their predecessors? Even though the I/O Panel started to use the 1/8" connectors as opposed to the Fata1lty FPS and X-Fi platinum cards, I was curious if the Champion version of the I/O...

Do the bullets travel like in the previous two(No instant hit scanning)?

Coupon code was supposed to expire 4/24, and we all know it's not 4/24 yet... so why in the fuck did they do away with it?

^ At Toys'R'Us.... I need a fucking edit button!

Kind of makes me wish I took advantage of those clearance PC games back in 1997 when they were selling the FormGen releases of Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold, and a lot of other Apogee releases, for $10 each.

Or, perhaps people use the word "hardcore" lightly. There's sentimental value in having your own physical copy of the game from the manufacture. However, those days are over since, like Killa_2327 has stated previously in this thread, they don't include much anymore. Just a DVD style case, the...

Don't forgot it that based on this video, it was for a graphic novel feel. This was done in XIII as well. And is there an article stating it's going to be a console port? I hope the game keeps the bullets as if they are projectiles like the previous two instead of instant hit scanning.

O.K.

I see what you're getting at, but I don't think it's any justification to the initial argument that the traditional way of PC games isn't dying, or to what you said about Steam not being too invasive when you have to do all those things to rid of their marketing practices in the first place...

Luddites is a rough analogy. Well, that is not to say if gamers don't like playing video games, but do anyway because it puts food on the table. But you can't blame us for questioning Steam when we have to load(And log in to) an application to load a game that can run independently. An...

+1 Don't need 7. Don't have the hardware for it anyway, nor do I plan to use software that 7 would utilize. If I was really interested in the new games, or if I wanted some video creation software, or if I needed lots of RAM to run a certain application is when I would consider upgrading.

Steam is practically DRM with a fancy interface, isn't it? Who would want their game to be dependent on such unnecessary software?

Did you list Kingpin: Life of Crime? That game is insanely hard.

If it were that rich, I would sit around all day too! I would just do the necessities to stay healthy, so I can do nothing for as long as possible. The only reason I would go out is to go to the Bunny Ranch.

I guess. But, in the long run, it's a highly unnecessary front-end to run games of all things. It's like the old auto-run applications on optical media, but worse.

Hopefully it will correlate with movement and/or mouse aiming speeds... My fingers are crossed that it won't be dependent on Steam or some other DRM software. If it will be, then I'll think twice before purchasing it.

Not exactly the collector's approach, but savvy nonetheless. The main advantage to physical media over downloads is having the jewel case/digipak and the inlays to the album. But then again, having that added stuff from the album really depends in your taste of music. If you're geared towards...

True or False? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJIuYgIvKsc

I haven't like FF much since version 4. But I still use it because of it's simplicity. I'm thinking of going back to 3.6, especially after they force auto-updates.

I've heard DNF was only available on Steam: That is if you don't have steam, you can't play it. Is this true, and will it be the same for SS?

Will this be a steam only release as far as the PC is concerned? Or will they release the PC binaries stand-alone?

Yes, the vraptors would definitely be a raid 0 OS drive, and if possible have another for a storage/page file on my XP machine.I'm sticking with XP for various reasons, one being that trying to stick to a platform that is friendly to more of the older games (1997-2006). So basically I'll be...
