Is there anyone at all that hasn't played CS? I swear 3 year olds are at it by now...at least thats how they sound when they get a mic. Hit puberty for the sake of our sanity!

Lmao Double Agent was horrible wasn't it? I had this horrible issue where Sam lagged all the time in his movements...although that could be because my drivers were old....hmm...

Anyone got any prices for this stuff? I like the look of the quad-core Penryn but if its gonna cost me my freakin tower then hell with it. The dual core one still looks pretty darn good though... O_O sucks to be AMD right now.

Apparently he presented his green card to the gun shop and he walked out with a spankin new 9mm Glock hand gun. While this may be legal, VA gun laws are obviously going to come under serious review. The thing about filing off the numbers, well, maybe he figured he wouldn't be caught somehow. I heard psychologists talking about the "immortality feeling" and how he may have felt like no one could touch him because he had the gun. Perhaps when he was near capture is when he decided he was done for and ended it all. Who knows, he was another messed up kid who happened to have a nasty dark side to him, and everyone saw it in this event.

From Ratchet and Clank 1:

Ratchet: "Hey plumber's crack!"
Plumber: "What was that?!"
Ratchet: "I said..hey look the plumber's back!"

Classic stuff ;)

That's nice of them to put him in the game. I skipped out on the Ratchet game but I might pick up this one.

*Edit* - Gah, PS3 only :(

My guess is most C2D users are gonna be caught with either an 800/1000 FSB or just 1000 FSB board, not one that is 800/1000/1333. E6400 huh? Im sure you can squeeze 3.0+ ghz with custom cooling option out of that one.

Once again I agree with WallShadows, I am glad to see someone that doesn't blame games. What are the odds that someone who played GTA4 would go on a 33 person killing spree? Goofus was also right in saying the kid had mental issues. Just look at his writing. Every one of his plays featured planned murder, death, shooting, rape, and various other violent assaults. This event was due to past events, building up inside of his head. Anything could have caused him to snap.

Also, there was evidence of a possible love interest with his first target. Like they said on Prime Time last night, he might have been denied by this girl or something, who knows. It could have been a "doomed to fail" situation. The kid probably did not play CS or GTA or any games at all.

I agree, ATI is in serious trouble since they keep pushing out variations of their X1900 and X1950 cards. But they havent had a vid card release in some time so this makes me think that they are putting effort into their DX10 cards.

I also agree with this, they SHOULD institute, if not armed guards, weapons of some type to a firearm-trained professional that can handle stuff like this before the gunner can even blink. But no, no one freakin learns, lets all continue blaming video games and the parents.

I agree 100%. By the way, I also thought to myself that someone would blame this on a violent video game too. Of course it is going to happen. What if we didnt have games? Then they would simply blame this crap on violent tv, movies, etc. Its just a blame game. F*ck you Jack Thompson!

I know this is an old article but to answer your question, just download and run FRAPS while you are playing the game, and it will display your current framerate in a selected corner of your screen.

www.fraps.com

Minimal background memory usage, you can also take 30 FPS videos with it. Very useful tool.

Congrats to you all, I enjoyed all of your entries. To the finalists, duke it out to the max! I agree with JCal, I learned things from all of your entries (DHzer0point drivers) and agreed with others (nut shots are mans biggest fear). Seriously Dave, Vandy, excellent job, and play nice in the finals!

Hmm, Im thinking of Pirates of the Caribbean..maybe they will go for something like that, but like you said, Im sure they will take the whole sand thing for blood, but I mean, there have been few or no good game-based movies, at least as far as I see, disagree if you like. (Doom movie anyone?)

You can stop sub 17 year old gamers from buying games from stores, but not from playing them. Its up to parents to make sure the games dont get into their kids hands, so like Kessandra said, the ESRB is doing their job when no one else would. At least they are trying.

So dont play MP then. Ask anyone, Vista is junk and everyone I know that has it has problems with drivers and game compatiblity, its a proven fact that many games have problems with Vista, so I guess no one knows what they are talking about. As far as this game goes, no one told you you had to play it, I have about 98% problem free gaming and I am very happy with my purchase.

Of course you would say that since yours doesn't run how it should since you had to go and buy Vista like no one should do until they have at least one service pack out. I believe the engine has aged well.

Is it just my monitor or does this game have more aliasing than Half Life 1.6 on 640x400?

I have almost your identical setup, except with an X1900XTX 512 and X2-4800+ @2.4 ghz but the 2 gigs OCZ is the same, and it runs like a dream, only the main problem being the 2 or 3 second lag problems, which is a game thing, so yeah its Vista cuz XP is fine IMO

Do you think the FX-60 would be faster than the X24800+? (both 939)

I had the same "This media is only viewable blah blah blah" message, but only when I tried a direct link to FiringSquad's site. I am on FireFox 2 right now as well. If you are simply going to each user's matrix and looking attempting to view their pics then idk what else to tell you...And yes you can upload a bunch of screenies. Sqitso has probably 5 more after he won the first week for his screenshot.
