"Last wk the 4870 was on sale for $235 after rebate on newegg...I really should have picked one up, but I was broke then. Its always on sale at $284. I might pick it up on a month or so. Maybe then it will drop to $250 standard."

ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 Monster GPU has arrive

1 year 3 months ago

"Yeah its a beast and at that price it sells out quick at work.
Unfortunetly the max my monitor can support is 1680x1050 so having an X2 card is a waste of technology and money if its in my hands."

Blade & Soul

"I love HTK and the UnrealEngine3 and both comibned is like....bliss.
Im eagerly waiting for this game more than Aion now!

What I look for in good MMO's is:
Character customization - I dont want to look like anyone else
Armor/weapon designs - I have to look good in my gear
Realistic stylized modern graphics - no blocky characters or boring landscapes.
combat presentation - the flashier the moves/spells, the better.
Right now, this game has it all."

GRID

"Yes, it is that badass~!
I picked it up for PC the other week and I am loving almost every minute of it! What amazes me are of course the graphics! Me and all my friends are so amazed. Its rare for me to play any game at 1680x1050 with 4xAA and play extreamly smooth and this game does it! DIRT on PC was the total opposite and was poorly optimized."

Anime fans 18+, do you hang out with other Otaku?

1 year 6 months ago

"Not with a bunch of other ppl, but me and my friend sometimes gather and watch anime together. I hook up my PC to the 60" Sony out in the living room through HDMI, and we go buy some junk food before then. Its better than watchin anime alone and I think its best to watch comedies with other people."

nvida 9800

"Cabal has sick graphics? haha, what games have you been playing if you think Cabal looks good.

Anyways yeah I have a 9600GT and kinda hate it because of the retarded fan issue where the fan speed will drop to about 25% RPM when it reaches 60*C, pretty much failing any overclocks.
Im going to be getting a ThermalTake DuOrb soon because the stock HSF is just crap.

The week I bought the 9600GT, the 9800GTX came out...and it was about $150 more. I was actually about to return my 9600GT because of the fan issue, but the 9800GTX also has this stupid problem. If this isnt fixed soon, Im going to sell this card and go back to ATI when they release their HD 4000 series cards."

"Id go with CrossfireX because the other week i saw the 3870x2 sell for $300 on ebay~! was tempted to buy it. Id wait until the 4k series cards come out because its rumored that there will be a card thats 2x as fast as the 3870x2; possibly on a single PCB again."

"I still have it installed from the beta, i havent touched it since.
it was a game i only looked forward to because people were saying how it was so great and such.
But i played it for about a day, and it wasnt so great?
i like to zoom out alot in MMO's and this game had such a close point of view it bothered me too much. I was really hesitant to play the game because the graphics were pretty bad, sure enough when i tested it out...i was doing 160+FPS with everything cranked up > < AA just didnt want to work last time i tried."

Overclocking

1 year 8 months ago

"I had a bad experience with overclocking the Mhz/FSB on my RAM a while back and 1GB died, so I dont OC ram anymore. Sure increasing the MHz will give you a boost but if the RAM isnt meant to be OC'd then dont do it!
Its best to just modifiy the timings because you wont kill it that way and its easier to tell if the settings are too much when your comp wont start. All you gotta do is make a note of the last setting that worked and keep dropping the values until the comp starts.
If it fails to start, you will have to remove the battery, start up the computer, and then shut it down to reset the BIOS. Then put the battery back in and put the last setting you changed up a notch.
When you finally find the settings that you think is stable. Play a game, open a bunch of files at once, or benchmark program for a period of time and see if it will freeze your comp (assuming that there isnt any other problem with your computer)

a special, fun, amazing etc life.....

"Atm, my life is pretty boring because Im not working. It seems when I worked, I went out alot and had no worries about money. Now that I dont work, Ive been usually staying in and usually on my computer to not spend any money ;/ This kinda isolated me from some of my friends and my colors started to fade.
I attempt to start new things like learn how to program in Unreal, and try to get back into artwork, but for some reason I just dont have it in me anymore and I feel so...worthless?"

How well do you keep computer organized?

1 year 8 months ago

"I like to say that im pretty neat when it comes to orginization of files.
I removed all of the text from my desktop icons (Alt 255) to make it easier to see or make it less cluttered. I originally had only one line of icons along the top, but Ive seen to be using more programs nowadays so it starts going along the side haha.

And alot of times when i download files and pictures, i put them in a "temp" folder, and when I have some free time or when bored, I will put those files where they belong or delete them if necessary.
I separate all of my pictures into categories, and start new ones when they get over 1500+ files. If there isnt a category, I put them in a "random" files folder.
I defrag weekly or whenever I go somewhere; its usually done when I get back. I disk cleanup and TuneUp2007 whenever I think it needs to be done, which also seems to be weekly.
I make DVD backups of important files every year. I also have those files on an old hard drive sitting on top of the shelf, so that If the house catches on fire, I can just escape with the HD because I dont really care about my computer as much as I care about my PSD's!"

Can't you be more civil of showing your otaku/weeaboo behavior?

"Well props to OP, some of those people may have read this topic and calmed themselves...or not?
I went to high school with a bunch of these people. They were usually in my art class goofing around and attempting to draw anime. They were in my japanese class too, but I never talked to them. I dunno, maybe its because im asian but I pronounced the japanese lanugage better than they did. I even got an award for "Achievement in Japanese" (not trying to show off, sorry)
Another thing was, majority of them were overweight, so that kinda shows how much they care about appearence. Not that Im saying you should care what other people think but daym control yourself!"

What's the worst nightmare you ever had?

1 year 9 months ago

"There was a time when i contantly had dreams where i died. It was sad and rough time in my life. I thought they were trying to tell me something. And this wasnt every so often, its every time I had a dream. I would just end up dead or wake up before the impact. It was so often that I unfortunetly gotten used to these horrable images.

When i was a child I slept in the living room. I had this dream that a fish with legs was in the dark kitchen walking toward me! Sounds dumb, but when you see it in my perspective, it was pretty freaky back then.

Being artistic and creative can have its downsides because we can imagine almost anything."

I am an asian person born in america. I was given the choice of choosing to believe in God or practice Buddhism, I simply chose none of the above and whaddya know, my parents or no one else objected.

If you can slide and peek around walls in this game like GRAW, i would have loved it."

First Impressions

"All they have to do is make eye contact and smile.
Majority of the time, its me who has to do the talking. There was one time I was at work at the front register and these older girls came up. One of the girls says "My friend thinks you're cute" and she was standing right there. I honestly was speechless because at that exact moment the thoughts of my past and how much courage it took to even talk to a girl went through my mind and here is someone who openly says it...
What should I have said? I just smiled >_> When girls try to talk to me at work, its ALWAYS busy T_T
Guys arent used to hearing compliments, because its usually us who say them. Hell I even say them without even realising it."
