  • Buying new cam...

    Quote from Kosmo

    What is wrong with you ppl, you talk about cameras and not a single person mentions cameras made by god himself Canon.Canon (insert model name here) kicks ass big time, I should know, I have been using them for years and taken thousands of photos and even sold some and used them in ads and public stuff. I have used some other cameras like the Nikon D70 here at work and I say the Nikon UI sucks hiney.

    You're kidding, right? Not only do Cannon digital cameras have the HIGHEST return rate among all other digi cam brands, but they also break the most too. The most common issue with Cannon digital camers is the liquid in the LCD screen on the cameras escapes the glass and breaks the screen. Yeah, THERE is a good design! PFFF!

  • SLI Technology

    Quote from Nz-Nexus

    Nvidia is working on a new technology for graphic cards calling it "SLI".

    I hate to break it to you, but they are not "working" on it, and it is already out. It has been out for nearly 8 months now (or over a year if you get to test Nvidia stuff).

    Also, SLI technology is not specifically designed for Nvidia hardware. Take a look at the X series of Radeon cards; they are all SLI cards.

    There is no need right now to rush out and buy a new mobo JUST for the SLI technology. Currently, AGP 8x is just as fast (with any graphics card, pretty much) as a SLI 16x card. Reason for this, is that graphic cards have a huge processing bottleneck that is inhibiting most of them to utilize the newer SLI technology. Point being, you do not need to drop everything and get a SLI board before tomorrow.

    As for running in higher resolutions... Not true. You can only run as high as your monitor will let you, and for the most part, most newer AGP cards will run as high, if not higher, than your monitor will support. The main advantage of having two linked SLI cards is to boost your frame rate. This happens by essentially cutting the screen in half (top and bottom) in which one card renders the bottom half, and the other renders the top half.

    As I said before; this is not a Nvidia only endeavor. Radeon cards work just as well on a SLI bus, so ATI likes SLI too (for the money bit).

    Chip makers really don't care, either. All it requires is a faster northbridge, and that is about it. The northbridge can, in some cases, completely bypass your CPU and shunt all video data right out the video ports. Point of this one being, is that your CPU has little to no say on the performance of your SLI bus.

    Now... Have you been reading an issue of Tom's Hardware Guide from last year? Honestly here... You'd think that with the game addicts we all are, that we would've heard about this... oh I dunno... maybe when it came out? Plz. Also get some of your facts straight. Grm.

  • Buying new cam...

    I have a Nikon CoolPix 5200, and boy let me tell you it rocks!

    Everything about it is just pure awesome. Hell, with the "scene mode" it basically takes the pictures for you without you pressing a button! haha...

    No, seriously though. If you want an awesome digital camera, get the CoolPix 5200.

  • It's official!

    Quote from JynxDaddy

    Are you going to miss home or aren't you leaving much behind.

    Well yus, I shall miss home. My entire family is within 30 minutes of my parent's house, afterall. Besides family, friends, and my computer, I am not leaving much else behind. Rawr.

    Congratulations Zazi, does that mean the Forsaken is once again looking for a mapper Wink

    Nope. I can do all the mod work I want in the offices, after hours of course. I'll have a HELL of a lot of time doing it when I'm in the air, too. Ugh.

  • It's official!

    It's official! I am moving to Holland in late May/Early June to work for http://%7boption%7d! Woo!

    I originally was brought in as an intern in Octoberish, so I could fly there in January, but I declined that 'cause of school. Ever since then, the prospects of working with SLS has diminished... Up until this morning when I recieved word that I will be theirs for at least the summer!

    Wooo!

    I'm stoked. Anyone want to do a happy donce with me?!

  • A testing server

    zazi.no-ip.org is where the server is at. Currently it is set to 8 players, so yeah...

    I'll setup ftp access in a minute here. Anyone who wants rcon access, please post below with your real name, email address, and why you want rcon access.
