  1. Minecraft

    IT'S JUST PLACING BLOCKS IN AN INFINITE SANDBOX FOR NO REASON. WHERE'S THE GAME? - Signed, Internet Nerd.
  2. Civilization 5

    Guess I got fucking owned. Nice stories!
  3. Civilization 5

    Driver update didn't help, I suppose i'm stuck like this until I get a new computer. (So forever) Comp specs: Intel Core2 Duo CPU E6850 3.00GHz Memory: 4GB 1066MHz DDR2 Corsair DOMINATOR RAM Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Monitors: BenQ FP72E and IBM ThinkVision Sound Card: Sound Blaster X-Fi Audio Card (Not being used) Operating System: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X48T-DQ6 Ever since I switched from Windows XP Professional to Windows 7 i've noticed a marked decrease in game performance, but i've noticed an increase in video rendering speeds in AE. This computer was brand new for CoD4 but now... PC gaming.
  4. Civilization 5

    So i've been playing the game and although I have to run it on low settings it does run decently except for two things. 1. I can only run it in DX9 (My system supports DX11), in 10/11 mode it CTDs. 2. When I hit the next turn button the game comes to a grinding halt for about 30 seconds then restarts just fine when my turn begins. Anybody know what might be causing this? I'm getting to my wits end with this computer anyway.
  5. Minecraft

    Instead of copying a giant slide we need to be original here, let's come up with something truly biblical and then make it happen.
  6. Civilization 5

    At least in the demo I find that apart from killing the barbarians the military option is far harder then turtling and researching like crazy.
  7. Minecraft

    Someone go to a university with schematics and the presumed rules and ask them to figure out these math problems.
  8. Happy Birthday!

    I do.
  9. Civilization 5

    That story was pretty hardcore, I love that you sort of sat there building your mountains of money and living in a culturally advanced utopia while every other country on Earth annihilates each other except for the French who build an enormous army and impenetrable ocean defenses only to sit around and do nothing. and Forbin: Not going to happen, Black Ops will be visceral.
  10. Civilization 5

    I really, really, really want to buy this but... Click to enlarge (and admire my censorship skills). Plus multiple iTunes and Steam purchases have left me out of pocket. If I could get the demo to work that would be something.
  11. Happy Birthday!

    Holy crap, happy birthday Pirate!
  12. BioShock Infinite

    Elizabeth? Yes. Others? No, I think they look great.
  13. BioShock Infinite

    The sniper was kind of lame, I understand the constraints of turn of the century weaponry but I mean come on, you're in a floating city, using plasmids and fighting against giant (Presumably) robotic enemies I think you can go a little out of the bounds of history for the weapons guys.
  14. Minecraft

    Who partially destroyed the bottom of my 'D'? Gah.
  15. BioShock Infinite

    Thank you for summarizing that far more verbosely than I could ever have, there's no doubt it's in engine but obviously the game isn't going to be that intense 24/7. The lighting effects blow me away. -Me (Read -IGN.com)
  16. BioShock Infinite

    On the topic of Remo spotting, GiantBomb again shows Chris. He appears on the Steam toaster at 17:30 in their Civ. 5 Quick Look. I think.
  17. Obligatory comical YouTube thread

    A brand new Photoshop tool!
  18. Down in the Zone (S.T.A.L.K.E.R.)

    Anomalies are great cash makers, here's what I did to make essentially infinite amounts of money: I collect as much stuff as I can physically carry and sell it (Repair guns and then sell them if need be, you still make some profit.), this was enough to make me enough money to buy as many supplies as need be. I didn't even attempt to collect artifacts until I had the experimental detector from the scientists, once you have that it gets a lot easier. Try going back to the first zone and collecting the easier artifacts then return to the mid zone and collect the harder ones with your experience, there are three in particular I can point to, don't read if you want to discover them for yourself.
  19. BioShock Infinite

    True, she made me immediately uncomfortable. It's not like i'm averse to female video game characters (Half Life 2, Final Fantasies, Personas...) but Elizabeth creeps me out for reasons unknown, perhaps it is what you described or maybe it's because she is way overacted. (That point and gasp bit was stupid)
  20. Game cover designs

    This. BC WotLK Cataclysm also, while not a game the box art for Adobe CS5 Master Collection is awesome.
  21. Good Old GOG

    What inherent respect I had for these people will be obliterated if this is a PR stunt. Instead of being a site I never visited because I wasn't interested in buying what they sell it will be a site I actively avoid.
  22. Life

    Sounds dodgy, i'm extremely skeptical by nature so I wouldn't trust these people. Dig up what info you can, maybe talk to a solicitor, they can help you.
  23. Minecraft

    I loved digging deep into your hole. But seriously, it was awesome times. Let's do it frequently.

    Toblix opened a bar and he had some thirsty customers.

    Patters is a Minecraft wizard! What a delightful artwork. I'm glad there is a now a file on the internet called FUCKNICK.jpg
