As an animation, Bakemonogatari has a simple, clean art style. But the guest illustrations for the series are anything but simple! So, it's great to see that °Tens took on a more complex illustration and made it his own with vector gradients so fine at points it more resembles painting that vectoring. Do have a look at this beautiful wallpaper!

"If i had known the 8800gt was coming out back then, i wouldnt have bought my 512mb 2600XT. [this was frigginn cheap tho, i couldnt pass up $135 for a new card from newegg.com]i know someone who has an 8500 and it could barley handle GRAW on all low
to me, an 8500 is something computer companies give away for free and they go "VISTA DX10 MAXIMUM GAMING PERFORMANCE!" just look at Best Buy ads. Yea, they advertise computers with 8400's playing BioShock, but they dont put out a display so we can see their 15FPS performance."

at times, theres this slight grainyness that almost makes the game look like a moving photo.

"Err lets just say i wanted it so much that i friggin had dreams about sneaking around and meleeing people with strength mode.The day before it came out, i went to walmart and got it before midnight :D. that night, the phrases "cloak engaged" and "energy critical" was burned into my brain.
My favoriate way to kill multiple people is to have the FY71 set up with the tactical attachment - Shoot one guy, then switch to the SCAR and then attack the guy before he shoots you. After he's dead, run over to the unconcious guy and melee him in strength mode to save bullets.
Or if my cover is blown ill go into cloak mode and run in the middle where everyone gathers, let loose a grenade and just fuckin take off! I come back to where i was and find 10 bodies :D
i played it like crazy the first couple days, but then when i got to the giant boss fight on the carrier there is this...i dunno...a program error? but the game will crash while im fighting it.
i dont know how to beat the boss >_> to somehow avoid the crash. I even set everything to low, use stock clocks on CPU and video card, play in DX9, and it will still crash...
i havent really played the game again because ive been playing UnrealTournament3. Another reason is because even when i play on "high" shader settings itll only give me about 20-25fps at a small resolution...and i really hate to play this game on low settings because its just not the same.
Playing on medium plays great but the game just doesnt look as good.
the biggest tips i would say for more FPS is to set Object and shadow quality to LOW.
low object quality gets rid of a lot of debris, leaves, grass, on the floor so it frees up alot of memory.
low shadows means no shadows, if you can live with that. The game seems alot brighter without shadows tho.
I was playing this a while back and this is the first game on my new computer that gave me the "Low Virtual Memory" popup...i was liek WTF? you serious? I have 2GB and a 512MB video card!! > < fucking vistaaaaaa
in a way, im kinda disappointed. It made me doubt the performance of my computer for a while. my pC is Something that i built by hand and this game is laughing at me.
but then that disappointment went away when i realized that i can play Unreal Tournament 3 at 60 fps on all high >_> somethings not right."

"Well i just tried out Rappelz...and i didnt like it. It just seemed pretty boring for the first 2 hours.what is with alot of mmo's that use post processing like its the new black? alot of time, bloom is programmed horrably that all it does is make the screen brighter. companies need to stop being lazy and start programming HDR into their games.
im currently testing out Rohan because its free and it has some sweet character/armor designs. The fighting has kool looking Soul Caliber style combos. The problem is trying to find the town with the most ppl, because so far, each town has around 10-20 players wandering around. I like more populated games.
Like Guild Wars' Lions Arch! haha the games trade city."

Why don't I have a girlfriend?
2 years 1 day ago
"The best places ive met girls at were:work - new faces every day if you work in retail. Quick moves will score you a number. If you are on the sales floor, you will have more opportunites because you can chat with someone and it looks like you are working haha. Working in an office will get you NOTHING! Dont date co-workers.
school - see same people all the time, which could give you more opportunites to communicate. Tho if something goes wrong, stories and rumors will spread.
public library - the library i frequent has alot of high school girls. Simply go in the section she is in and start a conversation. Some girls like to see guys who read which means it makes us males look more intelligent haha.
Its a plus if you have a car because you can give her a ride home ^_~
-anyways, sometimes i think its still more important to have more friends than a girl friend.
-dont hang out with a bunch of girls at a club/resturant/public place because other girls will think you are gay.
-3 second rule is to approach someone within 3 seconds that you make eye contact and start a conversation. Longer than that, and she might think you are a weirdo with no balls. She wont come to you no matter how long you stare and plus you might not ever see her again.
- dont approach girls from behind, they get freaked out. lay off the sugar, sugar.
daym, theres just so many tips out there. You just really have to be more open and conversational. Even the simplest "hi" will do you some good.

"I played Guild Wars like the first month it came out few years ago. Got pretty good, but I stopped playing for a long time because the upgraded missions were too short and they kept messing with the solo tanking.i recently reinstalled it to chat with my old guildies and none of them have been on for almost a year haha.
ive tried WoW, but i really hate the graphics. Well i think the majority of online rpg's have crappy PSone graphics. I cant stand looking at them on a good computer.
Ive been waiting forever for Huxley to come out, but i think i have finally given up waiting for it
I wished that Soul of the Ultimate Nation came to america, that would have rocked."

Guitar Hero
2 years 3 weeks ago
"Yeah i got the 360 version. Traded all my old PS2 games and got it for $40 haha!I like some of the songs. But some songs i really hate. Although not many songs have bad words, some songs like "Belly of A Shark" shouldnt be on the game when you have to cut off every bad word in almost every verse. Thats one reason why i dont listen to radio.
I was really glad they put Dragonforce on there and wish there were more of their songs on it. They really need to make a "metal" guitar hero and keep off the old stuff before 1980's. Dont know why this is called "Legends of Rock" when there are a good chunk of metal on there.
i hate the fact that the 360 lags when you do star power. I did notice less chance of lagging when you put sound fx to "0". You just wont be able to hear the crowd cheer. but who cares? it lets you concentrate more."

PC or Console?
2 years 3 weeks ago
"I just got a chance to play Halo3 with 16ppl on system link and that thing is so unplayable and laggy. It should have come out for PC, but microsoft had to make that dolla. Now i really dont regret giving away my copy of Halo3. Overrated piece of crap.I should have also gotten Guitar Hero 3 on PC because the 360 version lags on star power making you mess up your streak and getting 2x mulitplier...yay....go console.. >_>
Its pretty solid proof that the 360 console cant handle the gfx of a PC. Look at Halflife2 on the 360 compared to PC. ITS CRAP! and the Source engine is so old, yet the 360 cant even handle full res textures.
The thing i wish there were more of on PC's are japanese RPGs. Now that ive moved on to larger resolutions of the 360 [1280x768] and PC [1680x1050], i cant stand the blurryness of the PS2's rpg's."

Halo 3

"Yeah, im not a Halo fan either, but i only have 2 games on my 360, so i decided to pick it up. Waited an hour in line at midnight at best buy for it....then had to work at 5am heh.what bothered me from the beginning was the anti alising was driving me nuts because im so used to the cleanliness of PC games. I am playing it on 1280x1024/widescreen on my 22" LCD and theres jaggies like crazy. When i see all of the screenshots and such in mags, i dont see any at all. Are they playing at 1900x1080 monitors? I was at least expecting to be blown away by this games gfx, but when ive played it for a while, it seems kinda outdated. I know the 360 can handle better gfx, and yet i see a really low quality anisotropic filtering. Its like at 2x or something.
the fact that microsoft still hasnt made 16:10 resolution updates available still pisses me off because im not getting the most out of my large monitor."
