God I hate gametrailers. Shitty 20 second advert then Geoff Keighley. I dunno which is worse.

I don't like change!

I like the little online thing that goes next to your avatar, though.

:chap:

I'm sorry, this is too good for EOT.

Thanks for the feedback

Wouldn't removing the rocks make it even easier to turtle? My initial thought was that having two entrances would make turtling more difficult and sort of remedy the easily defend-able natural expansion. I had anticipated that this was more of a "mid game"-oriented map because it's fairly easy to defend the first chokes while the mid-expansions are pretty difficult to defend. Air should also have an easy time sniping (esp siege tanks) near the main cliff.

I actually had the gold minerals at the middle expansion to begin with, but I thought the other spot would be more difficult to defend because of the distance from the main. I guess this doesn't matter as much as I thought. I'll change it and give it a few tries.

Just because there's some rocks there won't discourage turting. In fact it's probably better to do that with those rocks there, because you can just cover them easier. The thing with the cliffs is all you would need to do to defend your siege tanks for example is plonk down a few missle turrets or bunkers with marines. And as you're turtling, this won't cost you much. So yes, definitely going to be seeing a lot of air on this, I think. Which isn't a bad thing.

Thing is, it IS worth the extra cash unlike the new 5900 series. Obscene prices.

Except for the mediocre ram brand and massively overpriced gpu?

OCZ is a good make and I've never heard or encountered your problems before. If nothing, it's an incredibly rare case you've mentioned. And that GPU is the best you can get of the last model without breaking the bank with the stupidly priced new ones. Sure a 4870 will suit, but why not spend a little more and get a 5800 series.

And as for SS drives they are NOT worth the money yet. They are for serious enthusiast with money to burn. They are the future definitely, just not yet.

Honestly, the list I made is what you want to look at having in your PC. It's good for everything. Same for Serenius.

PC getting better reviews, because PC is better. But I don't care about reviews!

I was failing Minos lack of Asian identification!

Fail.

I'd have it so there is only 1 entrance to the base, I know there's rocks there, like blistering sands, but they are the most annoying thing ever. Looking at it more, it appears to be the turtling terran's dream. Just plonk some siege tanks and bunkers at the chokes and pow. I'd also change the high yield with the natural in the centre, makes more sense to have them in the middle, harder to defend but worth the income they give.

Because all the girls here are ugly.

I don't see a mobo. And I'd suggest an AMD chip over an intel one, personally. They are just money, no object. I expect many to disagree with me, though.

Quote from Warby

i just re reread the thread after mino praised it for its excellence and i am shocked i hadn't commented on this yet:

fire in the sky is just about the scariest thing i have ever seen in my life !

hardly anythign has disturbed/fascinated me like that scene right there when i was a kid ! ( there are alot of scenes on xfiles that are kind of like it ... but not quit as disturbing)

somehow despite the common knowledge that its scarier if you dont see it

this scene in particular works and gets THAT much more scarier because it does not obscure the aliens this scene is TOTALLY in your face and thats whats so scary

recently i heared somebody talk about this ( dont remember where) and the claim was that this movie is so unknown because it was a hugh flop at the boxoffice because it launched the same day as jurassic park. not sure if there is anything to this i mean if it was more popular if it hadn't launched against one of the greatest films of the 90s ...

anyway ... LOVE !

I just read up about the whole incident that this film is based on. Being exaggerated and changed drastically, the film bares little resemblance to the supposed abduction. But none the less, it was pretty disturbing yet intriguing to watch. I would have preferred if it stuck to his actual account, though. I'd of liked to see it. Still, stuff like this scares the crap out of me, and the exorcist.

Was playing Resident Evil 5 Coop with a friend last night online. We got to a puzzle room with a laser beam (an ancient mystical sunlight-based laser beam lol) and some mirrors and we had to reflect the beam by rotating mirrors. We got the puzzle almost complete, with the two of us on opposite sides of the room, separated by laser death beams. I told my friend to turn the last mirror to get the puzzle figured, and he does so... cutting the beam across me as he rotates the mirror, killing me. We laughed hard and decided to call it a night.

Exact same thing happened to me and my friend. Good coop game on the pc omg!
