    Why bother going there, just play GTA V, it's the same thing...


    j/k lul.


    You'll be fine as long as you don't drive, my cousin lives there and with the stories I've heard about traffic there, it's a miracle she hasn't had an accident yet...


    America is one of the nicest places to drive. Absolutely loved it. If you want bad traffic, go to Eastern Europe or Paris

  • Quake 2 Mapping Contest 2015

    "A Deathmatch map."


    BORING. Quake II needs new singleplayer maps imho, there haven't been any out in ages, I think the last major release was 10 years ago...


    Ah man, I would love to see a new Quake 2 campaign that's true to the original. No fancy shit.

  • The Witcher 3

    Quote from 2d-chris

    No way it will max out sli 970's or 980's. if it does and still can't hit 30 fps the game is poorly optimized. Unless your one of the few people who want to game in 4k for what ever reason lol. Capping the framerate on what will be a benchmark game makes zero sense what so ever!


    Ubi loves doing it

    Hope it's better than Elysium, that was rather disappointing...


    I think Elysium suffered from studio involvement. It really felt as if it was forced in another direction somehow.

    Quote from FrieChamp

    I grew up in a town with ~18.000 citizens but a city with 325.000 is just 20 minutes away by car. Plus there are small villages and towns scattered throughout the area in between, so it never felt like being "isolated". If you are European and not from a village with less than 500 souls, I won't take you seriously


    I grew up in Ter Heijde (the one at sea). Now it has 520 people. Back then, max 400. Eat that

    For the sake of reference, the city I live in now has 508.940 people.

    Ditch. Ditch. Ditch. My last ex in a nutshell: 'Stop playing stupid games and give me attention 24/7 i.e you have no free time. I want to watch only films that I like, I don't want to watch any of yours.'


    When I got to know my wife she said she liked horror movies. I asked her to name a few and she came up with some thrillers. So for the last 7 years I've schooled her in movies, series and video-games (of all genres). Last week we were watching a movie that was supposedly a horror. After it was finished she turned to me and told me it suck and complained about PG13 rating and the lack of gore. Fucking beautiful man. My work is done!


    She also blames me for not being able to enjoy crappy movies anymore. I explained to her that it's because I made her a connoisseur. You're welcome

    Quote from Buddy

    I also bought a house last year and when i move to socal I'll rent it out.


    No biggie.


    Looked into that but tenants have too much rights here. Not easy to evict even if they don't pay. Plus, in this city you have a big chance of renting it to one Eastern European who then crashes the place with 10 of them. Not discriminating here, just stating facts. Even if it's not that, there's always a chance they turn your home into one big weed plant. Happened to a friend of mine. God, the amount of bullshit he had to resolve after that. Unbelievable.


    Vaya: You know your country better than me of course. So do what you feel is right. I'm just speaking from personal experience nd how it is here. You know the really sad part is that now is an excellent time to buy a house here. Prices have dropped as low as they can go. Man I could buy me a 3 story, 5 bedroom house with a yard and garage if only I got rid of this fucking apartment.

    Quote from Vaya

    While this post is terrifying and all I don't know how much say I have in the matter


    Did you buy a property and then have a kid- decided you needed to sell for a bigger place? If so there's little change of that happening to me. Owning a flat will give me more freedom- not take it away.


    No, I wanted to leave before that but fat chance of that happening. Hell, I wanted to sell when I was still single but then the economy collapsed in 2008.

    Quote from Vaya

    Started to dip my toes into the minefield that is buying property.


    Don't do it. I'm one of those suckers that got tricked into buying. Stating, with renting you are not building any capital. You are just throwing money away. But by buying, you are building capital for your rainy old day. Sounds good right?


    Back to reality: I've got a house for sale for about 4 years now. It's being priced at a 30.000 euro loss and still no buyers. I can't buy anything else until I sell this and it being a 2 room apartment means our entire lives (my wife and daughter) are on hold for the time being. Sounds exaggerated but there's a lot more involved that would cost pages 2 explain. In short, don't buy a fucking house! It's a rope around your neck.

  • What have you watched recently?

    When suffering from insomnia you might as well use the time to watch some good movies. I've revisited John Carpenter's The Thing. I hadn't seen it in years but I still have fond memories about it. I didn't actually plan to watch the whole movie but once I pressed play I knew I couldn't stop. Even after all these decades it hasn't lost any of it's charm and it's still and excellent horror movie. Even the effects remain impressive. So I'll leave you guys with this:
