Damn. I've played it 3 times and my highest is 7500.

What are you listening to now?
Faiblesse Des Sens replied to Chronixal's topic in Entertainment Exchange
The latest Tim Hecker. I want to listen to this album forever. -
Dean you're forgetting that firefox has ALWAYS been about the beta versions though. "Beta" just means "getting features early." FF4 alleviates all of your complaints and the beta has been stable for a while now. Mozilla isn't being slow, they're actually focusing on killing bugs, whereas Chrome focuses on features. The HTML5 is far from a big deal yet. Not that many HTML5 sites besides ones that are meant to show off HTML5.

holy balls dude. that is definitely not normal. also @dean. try using more than one tab and seeing what the memory usage is at. the giz/lifehacker tests i always see do single tab tests AND nine tab tests. either way FF has been winning for a while. i wish FF4 would go final or RC so these sites would be more willing to do an updated test. chrome has pushed out some new stuff as well.

Oh, right. Lol. Hungover and not reading everything properly. In that case, agreed, p2p is a turn off.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Faiblesse Des Sens replied to AcidCrownie's topic in Multi-Platform Games
I like how I made a point of "quantity over quality" and you say "not really" then proceed to tell me that Morrowind was a bigger game. -
Imax or faux imax and in 3D would be my guess.

Did you play Demon's Souls? P2P was basically a separate community than the rest of the game. Very much an opt-in sort of thing you don't have to bother with if you don't want to.

I use real triggers and have gas/brake setup on l2/r2. It feels nice.

Killzone 2 had more people in a greater variety of classes. There were always medics. It's hard to tell how things like this will go in an open beta.

Morrorwind is quantity over quality. -
Lol. That's why I just waited. I have faith in the internet.

it also might run smoother on ps3. it seems like it being on 360 killed dedicated servers

Least favorite game of all time.
Faiblesse Des Sens replied to VicariousShaner's topic in General Gaming Chat
I have no idea. I don't often think about what games I hate that often. -
How is that irony again?
-
Have you tried enabling hardware acceleration in FF? I think they added it with 3.6.
-
i love the minecraft demo
-
Those were also games I don't think they demoed at the announcement event, either. Not a big deal, they were going for quantity, not quality. They're coming out with LBP and Hustle Kings games on it is all they were saying.

Btw, no one uses rockmelt? I thought people considered it superior to Flock

Oh, gotcha on the importing thing. Importing from IE handles most people anyways, does it not? Especially those switching browsers. IE still has far and large the biggest market share. Chrome is at 10%. FF at 25%. Anyways, as far as I know, Google DNS doesn't track directly (you don't need a google account for it either), but since it defaults to google search that's how they get their ad-revenue and data. It's sort of funny how your attitude here is combative. It's just a browser. It's notable that it's restartless because that's not what extensions were like initially. I don't know if deeper extensions require a restart or not. You don't have to restart Chrome or Opera because the extensions can't change anything deep enough to need a restart like FF. Chrome's omnibar gives you search results mixed in with your bookmarks which is quite slow as you visit old sites more often than new sites. They put that feature in because that's how they make money. So therefor, I think it's less useful than FFs bar. Anyways, I see no reason for Chrome to not fund Mozilla. Their money for everything is ads, hands down. That's why they created android (and why they can get away with it being free), that's why they fund Mozilla, that's why they do anything. To have your search engine as the default for a product with such a large chunk of market share is big for them. I don't think that's "by the balls" at all. It's just the search engine default. They don't control anything else but that. Either way, you're not really providing anything compelling. The UI still looks childish, the font rendering is still shit, it's still missing plenty of features (which ironically you have to get with extensions, which is what people used to say about FF vs opera), google still owns your soul, less useful nav bar, less customization, and superior memory usage. The only advantage is speed, and I'm definitely not complaining about FF4s speed. It's right up there with Opera and Chrome.

I just hope they don't kill the atmosphere. Hard to tell from the trailer how that will be but the setting, the mystery, vagueness, and overall dark mood was one of the things I loved about DS.

FF has syncing like Chrome. I don't get your complaint about FF not meshing when you don't mention how Chrome meshes with other browses well, either. Browsers have had "import bookmarks" features for years. The cookies thing is of course, preference, but I've come across some sites that drop a ridiculous amount of cookies. It doesn't matter what the source of it is. I'm all for less competition and more sharing. Opera I like because it's different. Not my regular browser, but it's nice to browse in a different way. Tabs on the side with full image previews= cool. The chrome omnibar to me isn't nearly as useful as the awesomebar. The awesomebar always has relevant hits based on my bookmarks and web history. I use it when I vaguely remember a site and just type in a keyword or two and it will frequently find the site. Also, I use google DNS, so I just search within the bar as well (without an omnibar extension and without typing "g" in front of my search) which matches the chrome functionality while also having the much better awesomebar and you don't have to bother with google bugging you with search results unless you want them. Also, there's an extension for FF (from mozilla) that lets you instantly preview anything from the awesomebar (rather than clicking into the page and ending up at the wrong one) which makes it that much more useful. I'm curious about the funding situation. Someone should find out some info on that! Those who are choosing FF: Try out the latest beta. It's at beta 10 or 11 now and it's very very stable. Use add-on compatibility to get extensions to work. I haven't encountered any major problems. For the instant preview install lab-kit (its a restartless add-on.) https://addons.mozil. ..a-labs-lab-kit/ Also if you install labkit, I recommend uninstalling speak words 4. It's a nice idea... but not when combined with instant previews. One or the other.

Games You've Beat in 2011
Faiblesse Des Sens replied to TheMightyEthan's topic in General Gaming Chat
You liked that shitmess of a "hey lets just take the star wars universe and fuck it in the ass with lots of violence" story? I don't even like star wars and thought the story was shite. -
Tab tearing and snapping works fine on Firefox and doesn't refresh. It's perfectly smooth. I tested it with a youtube video. Also, it possible to make a poll where you can select more than one option? Anyways, for a while now, the FF4 beta has simply been stellar. Speed is great, super smooth, looks great, extensions all work, it's stable, lower memory usage than chrome, much superior font rendering, better features (panorama!), built in syncing, google isn't tracking everything, deeper extensions than the competition (i've been loving TACO recently), awesome bar, the usual customization. One positive I've found from FF4 especially is how many features are built in rather than requiring extensions. When I get bored, I try and mess around with Opera as I've seen some excellent looking ones and it has a great default feature set to try lots of different unique things out with. Dolphin Mini is nice on Android. From what I can tell FF for Android has: A nicer interface than standard (easy access to tabs and stuff), syncing, and extensions.
