  1. I don't think you should try to just wing it with just minimal specs. I think you will run into problems for sure when the PSU start to age and you Crossfire it up.
  2. Just finished Kagemusha. It was an interesting watch.
  3. I want to see Columbia come burning down... so they won't make a sequel to setup people for disappointment, and to see the marvelous spectacle.
  4. 5'10 or 5'11" Not too sure.
  5. Yeah, a 6.5 or so. They're only expecting like a 18" one. Nothing too worrying since whatever can get trashed by it is already trashed...
  6. Very American! That is how American do things!
  7. I was around when it happened and I'm still in the dark. All I know is... wtf happened. Can't say I care to know with it being forums drama and all. I avoided them all my internet life.
  8. They be crazy yo.
  9. I <3 the first two Bioshocks. Sure the 2nd one was just more of the same and certainly didn't have such a wow factor to it since you been there before but if you wanted more of the same, you got it. Now Infinite... lordy lordy. I'm with Johnny here, I want to be on a media black out. Its better to be a little bit unsure what you're getting yourself into than being all super hyped up to the point that they will fail to deliver. I know that Infinite has the same folks that made the first, and man does it look good. Tea Baggers going to be on this for sure...
  10. I need to learn to never pull my lower back again. Still feeling the effects today...

    Monitors!

    I have a ASUS VH232H that I got about a year about when my old one was dying. The ones you chosen are about the same to mines so... its all good. Can't say that the build in speakers are good but it does it job. I actually wonder if it has headphone jacks..................... you made me look. Yes it does. WOW. Can't believe I NEVER checked. I think I'm going to catch up on some Red Dead while my younger brother plays his GT5 next to me on the TV... As for the 3ms difference... eh. It could help? Not sure. If I ever lag, I always assumed that it was my connection, not my monitor.* As for the 1.5" screen difference... its your personal preference. 23" monitor is pretty damn sweet. I think I came from a 20" too. I personally got the 23" since it was what I determined to be the maximum size I can go with my current desk setup. Besides, this monitor should at least have another 2 more years to it lifespan so... yeah. I rather get a bit too big than one too small if i have to live with it for a few years. * Get the $180 one and lets swap then I'll get back to you in one year.
  12. Yes sir, they gone and fuck up now. I'll hold on Crysis 2 until its on sale now. Crytek, you wanted my $60, which I would of been willing to give, but after what I've seen and heard... well. Screw you guys. Redeem yourselves next game and then we'll talk. :< Well, at least I will thank you Crytek for saving me $60.
  13. Fried stinky tofu. Food of master race.

  16. 5770? I just got this in the email today... http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5660536&csid=ITD&body=REBATES# $99, after everything.
  17. Man, the North American (Northwest) Pacific coast is in no way prepared for anything like the March 11th earthquake. Looking at Japan having so many issues dealing with all the aftermath... and they're the most prepared for this sort of stuff (Beside nuclear stuff, no one can really prepare for it*). It really have been quite an eventful year when earthquakes are concerned. *Bless those workers at the nuclear plant. As far as I'm concerned, they are heroes to the highest degrees. --- Looking at the USGS earthquake map around Japan is depressing. So many aftershocks. That section of the plate is really moving, creating many earthquakes that for sure will rumble people...
  18. So, after last night, I finally took over the whole of Japan for giggles. Chosokabe Land was the hardest to take down because their armies grew to such large size after being mostly stranded on the island for so long. Not to mention the numerous choke points and long winding roads. One large army could not cut it (Nearly got wiped out until a navy rescue them after their own close defeat), two was alright but it finally required 3 to take it and hold it down. In the end, it was cut down to two largely ineffective armies that somehow winged it. Now about naval battles... How the hell is a Japanese navy without any gunboats can even take down ONE nanban trade ship? One nanban trade ship can rape an entire fleet. Even after ten minutes of firing at it with arrows and shit while taking cover behind surrendered ships, it still won't go down... I only manage to kill about a 100 of their crew and take out 3 of its 10 cannons. It took a second fleet with two Japanese cannon boats to take it down. The other ships are easy enough to take down but that nanban ship... I'm afraid to find out if you can have a couple of them in a fleet... Now, about those land cannons... do I have to convert to Christianity to get them or I just need a city of Christians? I just looked at the requirements and it seem to suggest the latter. I haven't tried it out yet. --- Side note... I'm sort of sad that there is no option for a one on one duel like that of the opening movie. It would of been pretty sweet. lol wall of text in every of my Shogun 2 posts...

    Its pretty easy to just go on to anywhere and post false reviews. Can't forget about that.
  20. I fight only like 1/5 of my battles when it really needs me to somehow kill the general(s) in order to just win the battle or at least make a good last stand. Those reasons or I just want to fight. Repeated battles, auto resolved or not, can really tire your mind out when you're on the defensive... I spent a good 3-4 years quelling rebellions all over the place because of massive food shortages. So I had to divide up my army and raise new ones. It was terrible, especially dealing with Christian rebels. Thanks the shogun gods that I had no close enemies then... else I would be fucked. Me love all sorts of RTS games. :3 As with FPS, RPG and such...
  21. Should I feel bad that I though that I shouldn't had gave away my daughter to this one clan that was bros with me but they eventually got their asses kicked by another one that was chill with me? I'm treating women as objects. After about 35 hours, though, I finally kicked everyone off the main island as Hojo, after taking shogun. Now I'm just screwing around... routing enemies out of gates to only get greeted by a firing squad of musket men. Then there is the part of me experimenting with naval warfare. Its odd on how you control the ships. Also, when I think RTS, I think Starcraft and Command and Conquer, not this. Its like Civilization but you can fight the battles. Is your castle getting siege by an army twice your size that will cream you if you let AI take over? You can win if you play smart enough. Also, formation and positioning is really important as well. For example, I placed a catapults on both sides of a castle. One of them was useless because it will hit my own castle. So that doomed it to none use. A few side notes for the catapults... its pretty damn sweet to see two groups of catapults being deadly accurate on a general with the first volley. I want cannons now... which brings up this: You won't kick ass if you just use gunpowder weapons. They require a line of sight, unlike arrows and catapults. You got to have a mix. Well, here's to another 35 hours and beyond.
  22. Lets see... my army with the daimyo, youngest and the heir repels an massive invasion force from one clan, killing their daimyo. However, they die fighting another invasion massive force by a clan that managed to come back from the dead when they got sacked by Tokugawa. The middle son was on his way to back them up too... haha... nearly killed the whole family. At the same time having an side army to take the unsecured capital... I should of took that place sooner. :\ My daimyo was a boss. Now I lost all motivation to back the middle son... -sigh-
  23. Hrmm, you'd expect some to stay by your side so they may jockey for a favorable position of power if you win. Hell, if you win and all clans turned on you... there will be tons of fallen and forgotten clans in your wake. Well, need to pour more time into the game.
  24. Mmm, serpentinite clay with good old pulverized asbestos mixed in, drying on my hand. Sure is good after smelling a disel engine for an hour.

  25. http://www.shakeout.org/ Most likely not the link you saw but it will pretty much give you the same info. Bay Area got about 67% possibility for a 6.7 or higher in the next 30 years while So Cal has had any major ones coming from San Andreas for a very long time (150-300 years).
