Who is planning on picking this up? I've got it pre-ordered for PC, and will have access to the 360 version as well. It looks to be a great game from what I have seen - I will definitely look forward to playing with anyone here. It is due to be released next Tuesday (11/10).

General / The Secret World

« on: September 10, 2009, 05:36:44 pm »

The more I hear about this game, the more my interest grows. When I began following it, I had no idea it would turn out to be a 'modern day MMO'.

General / Section 8 Beta

FPS, currently in multiplayer open beta; reminds me a bit of Tribes/Planetside. If you are interested, grab a key while they are still available.

I received a beta invite today to this game today. I hope to install it and mess around with it a bit tonight.

Has anyone heard anything positive or negative about this game? I've linked a trailer below.

Have a great one, buddy.

Sorry, she's all that I could afford for you this year. It's the thought that counts, right? :p

Off Topic / New Gaming Rig

« on: March 02, 2008, 09:10:53 pm »

Well...I decided, after quite a bit of initial reluctance, to finally do a decent PC upgrade. I really didn't want to spend the dough, but I think I made off with a reasonable deal, and I should be content with this setup for a couple of years:

AMD X2 5000+ Black Edition
2GB DDR 800 (1GB x 2)
Asus MSN-SLI nForce 560 SLI AM2 Motherboard
Nvidia 9600GT 512MB
Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro 92mm Heatsink/Fan
Rosewill Stallion 500W PSU

Total: $482

I'm going to use my old case (Thermaltake Xaser III Supertower), and old hard drives/DVD burners (IDE/PATA, which the board supports, up to 4 devices).

Chances are that I'm going to need to ask for help on setting some of this up.

EDIT: Had to add a new PSU, turns out my old one was only 430W, not enough "voltage on the rail" or some shit.

Off Topic / Nvidia 9600GT

« on: February 23, 2008, 04:18:56 am »

Any video card experts here want to weigh in on this thing?

http://www.nvidia.com/object/geforce_9600gt.html

It's apparently the first of Nvidia's 9 series, and it's being aimed as the mass market/budget gamer (around $179.99).

This is definitely in my price range, but is it worth it?

I'm going to try to keep this organized in the same manner as Khronik's XBL thread:

AllWheelDSM (Tecknik)

manicv (ManicVelocity)

nocry (Nocry)

maddogjwn13 (Adad)

FoxConn (Yotogi)

Hell, since everyone seems to be nabbing one, post your PSN tag and what you play online.

Off Topic / Crunch Time

« on: September 12, 2007, 01:15:14 am »

I'm just giving a heads up on my schedule situation: classes have started for this semester, I'm working full time for the month with my friend's company, and I'm cranking out some massive study time for my GRE test coming up next month, as well as (attempting) to prepare my grad school application packages.

I'll still be around 2-3 times a week - just letting you all know that I'm getting crackin' on a few time consuming projects for a couple of months here, so I won't be on as much, but I'm not disappearing.

A few folks have expressed interest in doing future Box 4's, myself included. Who else is looking to start, resume, or complete their Box 4?

General / MxO Party Tonight (8/11)

« on: August 11, 2007, 04:45:29 pm »

Trooper's Revolution is having a party at Club Sphinx in Dannah Heights at 7PM EST, apparently with a small 3v3 tournament and best dressed competition.

If I'm around I'll jump in and see if we have enough for the 3v3.

Off Topic / Warning: Do not use P2P at your school!

« on: May 02, 2007, 10:11:51 am »

Just a fair warning that you should seriously consider staying away from using P2P programs at your school.

Recently, in the lab I work in at my school, someone downloaded a new episode of The Sopranos via P2P, and HBO's lawyers contacted the school and my professor threatning to take action.

She had to meet with them today, and each of us students in the lab had to call her and tell her that we did not download, etc.

In the meanwhile, they've shut down that specific hub of internet access in the lab.

Pretty scary stuff - just be warned that you seriously need to watch your ass with P2P programs at your college or university!
