Isn't that to do with CZG's love trumpet stretching tentatively but enthusiastically across the North Sea??

P.S. Crysis, yes, awesome, looks exactly like more Far Cry, which is definitely a Good Thing TM. 

Perpendicular recording hard-drives allow you to cram more data in less space, and I've seen some 7200 RPM, SATA, 160GB or possibly in the 200gb range for under $100, reputable brands.

I bought a 320 gigabyte SEAGATE(!) SATA drive from newegg a month ago for ~90USD 

The 320GB Seagate SATA drives are also avaible here for ~90 or so euro. And Seagate is the only manufacturer that gives their HD's a 5 year warranty (all others give 3) so it's really not a tough choice. 

Free fucking game? With fucking track editor? Really fucking easy? Why the fuck didn't I know about this! I'm fucking downloading it.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not, since I've bleated on about it a few times... 

yeah, that's rather unbalanced to have player respawned with full health, it should be 50% or something to keep things interesting.


Shambler: why wow? well i was ordered to play it at work. Though, I got bored after the week of insane play ;) 

well every your respawn here leads to hardware update at your depot (or whatever sinister oubliette you live in). good to see you back and all, come to tf if thou wilt, feel yourself at home, and so forth...

since your last appearance here before going to cryolab for 1 year nothing much changed in terms of hardware specs. it's the same gf 6x-7x cards that are top these times. if you have something below 6x i strongly recomend you to get 7x cards (7800/7950). these have all the features and shaders supported and you won't have any troubles. as for the cpu, if you have something around 2-3k GHz it should do. and I think you have 1 Gig of ram already so you don't need anything more (well 2 gigs should improve things on very hungry games like oblivion or something).

as for the prey, it's very fast if you use hw spec like mentioned above, nothing will prevent you to set 1280x1024 and all high and play comfortably.

so there, hope my silly info helps.

Cheers for that, sinister oubliette LOL :).

Actually I don't think in this case I'm intending to upgrade now, just scouting out the options.


Zwiffle: Ah yes, good point. Hadn't followed that one much. But on a similar theme, what about Warhammer: Mark Of Chaos - looks like a seriously stylish RTS, will definitely get that.


Anyway people: MAPS! (please?) 

Seriously, I do not ever remember hearing about that ever before. Ever.

I've seriously downloaded it, and I'm going to seriously check it out next time I have a few serious seconds, but seriously that's probably not going to be any serious time soon. Seriously. 

Trackmania Nations has Starforce.
Just FYI. 

looks great fun, but it hangs my pc anything from 5 seconds - 10 minutes into a gam, which totally destroys it :( even blue screened windows at one point which is a massive achievement as I've never seen a BSOD on winXP before... 

True--I probably should have said that. It's never given me any trouble. *shrug*

Your milage may vary, so to speak.

Also, why Starforce on a free game? Who knows. It is a mystery... 

you guys think prey will run on a 2.0ghz AMD sampron w/ 896 of ram? with a geforce 61000 w/ 256 ram? 

on my system, which in both CPU and Video Card is probably about a generation behind yours. 

The 6100 is comparable to GF4 FX5200 in perfomance, probably even lower. 

Runs better on my Athlon 64 1.8 GHz, 1 GB RAM, 128MB PCI-E GeForce 6200 LE (shared 512 MB) than Doom 3 demo even does! Whatever. Not awesomely smooth, but about medium details it's quite playable. 

Shambler, im downloading the game as we speak (legally...) dunno how the servers work, is there just 1 or multiple ones? If there is more than 1 which one are you on? 

The 6100 is comparable to GF4 FX5200 in perfomance, probably even lower.

My current card is a Radeon 9500 Pro, so I missed that marker by a bit. 

Well...I'm not playing it much any more, kinda reached an impasse with the last missions. But if you get hooked on it and get to the later stuff, preferably the Desert or later, then I could meet up for some action. Certainly if you get to the Ring Of Fire (post-curry shizzle snort).

Errrr but it is quite a big and complicated game to progress in. You can do it kinda quickly by just doing missions but there is a hell of a lot to do not least with character customisation and all...

As for servers, they are divided into international and european districts, and sub-districts within that. You can only meet people in towns and cities and arrange to do missions from there. You'll see. There's quite a bit to learn. See if Kapt Kinn is still playing, he was quite early on.



P.S. MAPS! Where are the MAPS, people?! 

I liked my map a lot :P

I stopped playing it around the time Shambler last saw me in there, which was quite a while ago. Would they still have preserved my account after all this time? I might be tempted to mess around in it again as long as I don't have to start over again 

GW accounts don't get deleted due to inactivity. If you haven't loaded it up for a while you might find a nice little birthday present in the inventory of any characters that are over one year old.
