  1. You know you've got a great service going when people will pay 150% extra in order to avoid using your service. Also with everyone getting Bulletstorm I guess I'll have to set up a match at some point in the future. (Though it's only 4 at a time so maybe a few matches) As for the Vita, I've not gotten the Vita and the only response I had about it was : So obviously you guys are rather apathetic on where the donations go
  2. Thank's guys. You're the best

    April Fools

    2012 Google Maps 8-bit http://maps.google.c...m_campaign=8bit (With the help of Square-Enix) Notch announces "Mars Effect". The game is real, the name is most likely 99% fake. http://marseffect.net/ And ARMA 3 with aliens (And yeah, these started early even for us further on in the timezone. I assume folks didn't feel up to doing it on Sunday)

    Terrible Jokes

    Two men go to a bar. The first man says "I'll have some H2O". The second says, "I'll have some H2O too". The second man died.
  6. Woops. You're a donator already. Just members have two profile groups, a primary and a secondary. I only set your secondary group, not the primary, thus it doesn't show up on the forum. Fixed now.
  7. Hmm, so a question arises (due to this joke on r/doctorwho): Here in the UK our emergency phone number is 999. However 911(US) and 112(EU) can also work. Does the same work in reverse in the US?

    Our Reg/R Reg/R Registration plate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peat - Pete. It's soil you can burn. Also I don't completely get Spork's one. Mainly cos if you hooked one of these up to a boat it'd sink:
  9. Not if the rumours of both being ATi consoles holds true. PhysX is Nvidia's thing. Same with CUDA. There's a reason I carry on getting Nvidia cards of ATi.

    What'd you call a man hanging off a back of a car What'd you call a man hanging off the back of your car What'd you call a man with a shovel in his head What'd you call a man with a rabbit up his bum What'd you call a man laying outside your door.
  11. PhysX is in a lot of stuff. The main issue is that's 2006. By which point the current consoles we've bieng lumped with for the past 6-7 years were already finalised and out. Given how much multi-plat devs hate even making keyboard and mouse work properly You can see why they'd be reluctant to use what's pretty much a PC only thing into their games. (Ps3 can use a somewhat limited version since it has a Nvidia GPU). GPGPU is booming(There's probably at least a couple programs on your PC making use of it), but its games use is somewhat limited, once again due to the fact current consoles came out before it took off (mainly with DirectX 10 back in 2006). As for a compatible Architecture: It is the Microsoft DirectX-box. They're never going to make a compatible console. Wii and PS3 will be using OpenGL as always n MS will be using their DirectX API.
  12. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhysX#PhysX_in_video_games - well here's Physx (That'll be the PPU and now the GPGPU stuff) in games. A lot of the DirectX 11 changes and improvements are GPGPU related too. So it's mianly a case of waiting on those games to trickle on down.
  13. We have QI on our telly box too.
  14. Typing e on it's own = e. However e+ Alt Gr = é. Óúr kéybóárds áré áll fúll óf áccénts.
  15. Errm, just to go back a bit: How did you writer é if you don't have Alt Gr?

  19. How did they get him to re-pose for that?
  20. It's worth remembering no matter what they do: (Mainly the second part. Especially since no matter what Thursday says I've a strong feeling EA, the publisher, is the one that sets the launch date so that part is kind of out of their hands) Also I'm with Ethan. They spent three games going "hey your'e the player, pick your choices, shape your galaxy!". Even specifically noted how varied and bespoke your ending will be with ME3 and specifically how it won't be ABC choices. Then right at the end they took away all the player choice, the shaping of the galaxy and went "this is how it will be, pick your ABC RGB choices.". I don't really care if they get a new ending, re-write it, add in DLC, whatever, I don't aim to play it again. I'd at least like them to apologise for lying their arses off. No "oh we love our passionate fans" bull shit. They lied, they should get called out on it and apologise. Pretty simple.
  21. At least if you put him on another coin you can put him the right way around.
  22. Zombies provide a way around various laws/regulations/ratings against killing people in games. Same with robots. I imagine that's part of the reasoning of including them. They're also fairly simple to code as far as AI goes since they're accepted to be dumb and stupid, getting caught on objects, being slow etc.
  23. Errm nope. There is actually nothing at all that's a certainty, definitely, set-in-stone at all with regards to Bioware and their plans with the ending. Until the further DLC is announced, no one but Bioware will know what they're doing.
