  1. Easier to manufacture, basically. Having two standards, one for PCs and one for TVs, makes all production costs effectively double when you're basically using the same technology for both (LCD) TV was already standardized to 1920x1080 and had a much larger consumer base, so all us PC users lost 120 px

    Howdy Folks!

    Crap, I thought my return would be trumpeted because you all missed my razor wit and high dynamic range of skill...
  3. So I had a slight breakdown over the weekend and so as part of my therapy I went and built this last night: Part list permalink / Part price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($309.99 @ Amazon Canada) Motherboard: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($134.69 @ DirectCanada) Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($81.99 @ Newegg Canada) Hard Drive: Crucial M4 64GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($91.99 @ Amazon Canada) Video Card: Asus Radeon HD 6870 1GB Video Card ($168.24 @ DirectCanada) Case: Antec One ATX Mid Tower Case ($45.99 @ Canada Computers) Power Supply: Corsair 650W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($89.99 @ Canada Computers) Total: $922.88 (Prices include shipping and discounts when available.) (Generated 2012-03-15 09:50 EDT-0400) Took me about 4 hours from opening packages to Windows start screen (which barely has enough time to flash on the screen before we're at the desktop) I've got a 2TB HD in there not listed - and I got the Corsair TX650M but for some reason it doesn't exist on the PCPartpicker website Scored a 7.6 on the Windows benchmark, held back by the CPU I had originally intended on purchasing the i5 2500k but wrote i5 2600k on the slip I handed the guy at the store so he rolled with it and I didn't realize until I was placing it in the CPU housing...OH WELL (yes, I purchased this all instore, like I was robbing the place with a handwritten note) So what did I miss?
  4. I'm eagerly awaiting this game already, but they could sell me a piece of bologna and I would gladly give them money. Pure class. http://www.grimrock.net/

    HERRO!!!

    Did the penguin of doom just join the forums? I kid, I kid. Welcome to our hole in the wall! Now stutters won't feel like the only lady around here!
  6. Lots. This Feed Me track from last year. Otherwise, Adele's voice and Queen's Who Wants to Live Forever from Highlander rank pretty high up there. Oh and not like I'm in love with dubstep or anything, but I want http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e0pMQM2i0M played at my funeral. How the heck do you inbed youtube videos now? Edit: Ah...well thanks for making me confused for 10 minutes.
  7. I told you guys global warming wasn't going to bother him...
  8. Is that a mod that puts Sarah Jessica Parker in the game? I knew I should have got the PC version!
  9. When you get your Alchemy, Smithing and Enchanting to 100, you can still take potions that increase your abilities beyond the level cap and make ridiculously powerful items that are not available by looting. Daedric sword that does over 100 dam before enchantments? Oh and there's a helmet that mirrors the one Shazz posted but heavy armour and has destruction/restortaion cost decreases as well as magika boost - so boss.
  10. STOP PLAYING AC 2011 THEN I HAVE!! I BEAT IT SO FAST SO THAT I COULD LOSE MYSELF IN SKYRIM. IT IS WORKING. Wait, what are we yelling about again? The vidja gaims
  11. Here's a master list courtesy of your friends over at r/gaming Reddit's Steam Sale Master List
  12. Worth every penny, but a much more "hardcore" experience than Oblivion or Skyrim, in that you really have to love the mechanics and level design to put up with the slow pace. But the dungeon design, loot system and crafting of Morrowind is by far the most rewarding imo...at least until I can give a better opinion on Skyrim.

    peckles

    There, I fixed it for you. Get oot...
  14. Oooo never knew you could do that Gotta add this to my todo list Yeah, boning Lydia is on my to do list too. LESBIAN WEDDING INBOUND! WAIT, WHAT'S THIS!? GO NOW BROTHER! PLAY MORROWIND LIKE YOU'VE NEVER PLAYED MORROWIND BEFORE!
  15. Haha! I have skewed your survey with my urban Canadian results!
  16. If a NPC knocks your companion down, they will stop attacking and go after you. So in theory they shouldn't die (easily). Otherwise, you do what I do and hit them with an arrow as the killing blow...EVERY TIME Oh and I've only seen two dragons so far, killed them both...30 hours in...
  17. There's no shame in putting a new Xbox 360 on your credit card at Best Buy with the intentions of returning it...eventually...I have until January 8th according to my receipt...WOOHOO! (yes I bought a new 360 just for skyrim, as I shorted my other one due to sweating while smashing the heatsink trying to get it to boot, which is actually my tried tested and true method for fixing xboxes, just don't be all sweaty in anticipation while doing it)
  18. This was me last night after realizing I hadn't eaten all weekend when my roomate came home.

    schweeeetness

    I think you deserve an honorable mention as well! honorary troll? Motion seconded.
  20. Did you format it to fat32? AFAIK 360 will only use fat32 formatted drives
  21. I rescued a dog instead of building my new PC. He doesn't run BF3 well at all...
  22. Geddy was the long time neighbour of my close friend (whom I lost a few years ago). I'd tell you all about the guy, except I see some of you are fans...
