i'm about to give up all together. i feel like an idiot refreshing the same dang page

of course as soon as i shut down and go to bed, they'll sell 1,200 BOCs and i won't get one

i'm trying to hang in there, but i have work at 7am

I feel like one of those morons out in the cold camped out for a ps3.........

Even though they're trying to shove stupid crap down my throat, at least this is better than that snooze-fest the gamebridge brought

*foot firmly inserted in mouth*

btw, a bloodhound you aint

i'm guessing the $90 ufo will be the thing that kills the woot-off and ends my evening

wow..... was i wrong...

bravo! you took one for the team

I don't get it. What is woot off?

i can't hear you. please call my future number.

I know what woot.com is. I wanted to know what woot off was. A special 1 day sale? Cause I've seen people post on woot.com before and there was no response like this before.

if you actually READ the stuff at that link, it explains a woot-off

they probably have about 3,000 of those stupid things

cheap gfx ftl

those drives will fly off the shelves...

ah... nice catch metal, didn't see that when i posted....

unfortunately, rca stuff is usually cheaper in more ways than one

i didnt actually want to BUY one, i was just curious how it stood up to mine

just curious.... would that be noticably better than my evga 7800gt CO i bought last november?

6,177

After all those crazy games last weekend, I can't possibly do as poorly this week...

"forceful coersion" = ramming them, yes. unrealistic, i know

they are more aggresive in trying to hold their position though, that might be just part of the coding that went wrong or something with the AI.

This came out last week (I think). So far, I'm almost half way through the game. It's pretty fun, you get to bring an ally with you to your races instead of you being able to go it alone. One of the things I hate about the game is if you hit another racer, your car slows down to a halt. You can't disable them in any way because your speed goes to nothing. My signature racing move in Flatout 2 and Need for Speed: Most Wanted was to PIT people (what cops do). Now, I'm sad because you can't do that in this game...

I have actually PIT'ed someone before, but it was very difficult and required rather forceful coersion

The AI cars tend to fight more for position than they used to...

PIT'ing the five-oh though is still possible and a favorite pursuit breaking method of mine

I am waiting until there is a consensus on the HD format (HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray) before I decide to get a player for either of these. Reminds me of when DVDs were brand new and everyone was waiting for them to pick a single format. One of them ought to win eventually, then they will start selling like crazy and the prices may start to drop some.

you may be better served to wait, imho.

Tennessee over Jacksonville? You're delusional.

 

 

I don't have much faith in Gerard, and Houston beat em. I usually pick an upset game every week, and last week that was Oak vs Pit......and we all know how that turned out!

 

Pittsburgh is 2-5 now. That's not much of an upset...

The Raiders beating anyone right now would be an upset.... including the NCAA AP Top 10.

besides, learning a video editing suite on a PC is as hard, if not harder, than learning the mac OS and final cut pro.

I disagree. Videostudio is an extremely easy program to learn, with a step-by-step assembly line layout that can produce professional-looking video. It practically holds your hand through the process.

I know mac users are in love with their OS and will vehemently defend it. I'm sure its a great operating system. If it were me that only wanted to do some video editing coming from a windows background, I would much rather learn a new easy to follow program than have to learn the ins and outs of a new operating system AND a new professional video editing program.

Anyways, just my 2 cents

stick with a pc so she doesnt have to learn a new OS, buy ulead videostudio, then let her go to town. I have edited plenty of video using that program on this laptop, which has been resonably quick. Put it on a desktop, and that will only get better.

Ulead Videostudio is extremely user-friendly, easy to use, and good bang for the buck.

When she wants to go pro though, you'll have to dish out $850 for Adobe Premier Pro 2.0

$10 (hey, it's better than the Inspiron 6000D I'm typing this on )

 

I told him not to post my girlie poetry in this big tough guy forum.

IndEEd...

again, if you're looking for a performance increase then ditch that old p4 and get a new core 2. you'll see fps gains in the area of at least 50%.

I made such a switch, and got performance changes in CS:S from 65-80 fps average to 180-200 fps average. Went from P4 630 to core 2 E6600. Here's my setup (only changes were mobo/cpu):

Intel Core 2 E6600

Asus P5B

eVGA 7800GT CO

2GB Corsair ValueRAM (cheap, yet effective)

WD200GB SATA2

The adobe program I use now is Premier Pro 2.0. Unfortunately, it's cost prohibitive since it's around $850. There are discounts for academic affiliation, etc. It's the program of choice for professionals, but imo videostudio should be perfect for what you are looking to do, preach.

to be honest, there is a bit of a learning curve with the adobe program, in that if you're new to video editing it may be a struggle at first. The ulead program is very user friendly, and employs an "assembly line" process that steps you through the video editing process. It's the program I learned how to "professionally" edit digital video, which is why I recommend it. Either way you go, you can get professional quality video and can also produce DVDs with some limited menu features as well.

gl and hf with your video editing!
