[QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"][QUOTE="ultraking"][QUOTE="SKaREO"] "Me, me, me." No offense, because everyone looks at things selfishly rather than seeing the *BIG PICTURE* and that is that developers can profit from their game before it's even ready to ship. Thanks to the support of paying customers, we can expect this sort of thing to become the norm, and a lot more money going into shoddy practices similar to what we saw with War Z. I always knew pre-ordering games was a bad idea, but now it's going a giant leap further.

whoa. lets not compare WarZ to Arma3.

He's a known troll. Ignore him.

I went and bought it just because of him. <3 Anyway, I'd say BIS has proven they're not 'that' kind of studio. Lots of post-release support and general awesomeness. Downloading now, we'll see how it goes!

Backlit LCD screens will pretty much never will be able to surpass plasmas as a whole at straight image quality, just due to the nature of how each technology works - OLED and such have a good shot at it once they become more mainstream, though!

[QUOTE="AlexKidd5000"][QUOTE="mitu123"] Dell Ultrasharp.

Byshop

Don't those have really bad input lag?

Depends on your definition of "really bad". Grey to grey they are rated by Dell at 5ms, but in practical testing most are closer to 15-16ms. If you're playing Counterstrike or some similar ultra-fast paced online shooter at 120 FPS then you will be at a disadvantage in expert level play, but it's nothing that you would even notice in most circumstances or even at most skill levels. It's not like a crappy HDTV where you pretty a button and half a second later your character jumps or anything.

The tradeoff is that the Dell Ultrasharp monitors have excellent picture quality through their IPS panels, professional level color accuracy, and general all around build quality. I have six myself and I use them for gaming constantly, but then again I'm not playing Counterstrike in a profressional gaming league. :)

-Byshop

To be a bit more specific, he mentioned input lag (the time it takes for a signal sent to the monitor to be displayed on the monitor, anywhere from 0-2ms up to 50ms, depending on the individual monitor), which would be different from the response time (the time it takes for a given pixel to change color, usually measured in grey to grey). 120hz monitors tend to kick ass at the input lag bit, though it's down to each individual monitor model - some Ultrasharps have good input lag (my 2209wa is low), some have horrible (the VA-based 24" ones tended to be 40ms+)

[QUOTE="chrisrooR"]And that's the point. The mechanics ARE in the game, and the developer basically says "go play it". If you happen to stumble upon an exploit, too bad for you your account is gone now. How the f*ck is that fair? Really? It's not as if the person's installing third party software, or some form of bot to cheat the game. He or she is using mechanics that are already present. Stop being so melodramatic and try and understand my post. Go the route of Blizzard and suspend the individual while phasing the

If somebody takes advantage of the exploit once or even five times, Anet doesn't traditionally care. If used dozens or hundreds of times, they drop the banhammer. This happened before with the karma exploit, and they broke it down on a case by case basis with everybody that tried to complain about it on Reddit. "It looks like your account did it... 47 times. Innocent mistake?" And frankly, everybody knows it isn't intended when they do it. Just because it's been okay to abuse glitches in every online game ever isn't much of a reason for the next company to put up with it, especially when they're not collecting a monthly fee for it. It's also generally fine to be as large of a racist/sexist/*ist jerk in online games to other players as you want 'because internet,' and Anet also banned people for that. The argument against that was pretty much 'I've seen worse in WoW Barrens chat,' as if that's supposed to be a bar for online games to strive for?

[QUOTE="XaosII"]

My networking knowledge is definitely some of the weaker aspects of my overall computer knowledge.

But doesn't he more than likely log into a domain. And theres more than likely not even an existing admin account if its domain based?

zaku101

There's always an admin account since once the user logs in a profile is created for them on the computer. If you actually go to the users folder you'll notice everyone folder that has used the computer and logged in. The admin account has probably logged in once or more times bcs 1 login is required just to add the system to the domain.

we tend to either a) remove local admin when it's added to the domain, or b) make local admin a non-standard account name with an utterly brutal password, since it's so infrequently used. ophcrack can crack windows xp easily enough, has a much harder time with windows 7. but besides all that, you cannot locally crack a domain account's password. it authenticates against the DC, so it doesn't store the password locally on the computer, even hashed. also - when you do not have access to a computer of your own and can only use the school computers, how do you go about making an ophcrack livecd/usb? :P those downloads are super-filtered pretty much everywhere.

Well, its good to have the option. In the case of Dark Souls, they said it was meant for a controller, then Chivalry: Medieval Warfare came out with fairly similar combat but fantastic keyboard controls.with_teeth26
noooooo way. chivalry's combat was like dark messiah of might and magic, which was itself better with m/kb! dark souls' is very.... odd. def not like chivalry or mount and blade or anything of the sort, no.

[QUOTE="R4gn4r0k"]

[QUOTE="Toxic-Seahorse"] Why do you prefer it over the second one? Not only is SR3 much shorter than SR2, you get no real feeling of building up your gang like you did in SR2. The world in SR2 was better and it was just the right amount of over the top crazy where as SR3 is simply just too much. trastamad03

I absolutely agree

I love how crazy the SR games are but SR3 is at 200% all the time, and that gets tiresome after a while. I loved SR1&2 from beginning to end but I never finished SR3 as it doesn't really give me incentive to keep playing it.

Causing mayhem in the streets with a futuristic tank and the mayor, Burt Reynolds, manning the MG on that tank can be a lot of fun though.

I just didn't get hooked like I got hooked with SR3... Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game, SR3 had better polish, it didn't feel clunky. I acknowledged the fact that SR2's story / amount of activities surpass SR3s... but it just felt clunky for me. I couldn't run it properly on PC, so I got it on PS3.

I'm with the SR2-lovers, actually. I'd say overall it was just a better world, better characters, better experience. SR3 is still utterly awesome and everybody should buy it at $30, let alone $13. Also, it is playable on the PC, unlike SR2, which has the dubious honor of being one of the more awful ports in recent years (though Dark Souls handily yanked the crown from them, though it had mods to fix it up). edit: that is to clarify, SR2 was terrible on the PC while SR3 is pretty much perfect. SR3's an awesome port and runs like butter.

Not necessary - I've got an H80 and that case, and it worked okay the way you suggest if you're after quiet. Keep in mind with everything else closed up, the H80's exhaust is pretty much the ONLY exhaust, though.. I'm actually experimenting right now with having the H80 exhaust out the top of the case, haha.
