Oh, and whoever thought the pirate stories were a good idea needs a good hard slap on the face.karriston
The pirate stories were a running commentary on what the newsstand owner was thinking and talking about. The reason it's so good is not just because of it's story, it's because of how it tells it. It's less of a 'Lord of the Rings' of comics and more of a 'Slaughterhouse Five'.
It's not overrated, it deserves all the praise it gets. I got it for my birthday. It's such a layered comic. I especially love the chapter that has the frames mirrored from beginning to end.
I'm 21 and never had a real date, but I'm not exactly yearning for one, either. I dunno, I've just never made girls a priority. If I met the right person, I'd make time for them, but until I do, I'm just too busy.
The storytelling in The Darkness was all around pretty good, except those little vignettes they played when loading between subway stations. They got a little repetitive after a while.
Also, Bioshock...when you actually talk to Andrew Ryan, I had to stop playing. I couldn't take it. I couldn't sleep that night, either. Of course I finished it a couple days later, but that part just messed with me so much.
[QUOTE="crucifine"]I know for a fact that that particular software bundle, CS4, will run better on 64-bit Windows computers with nVidia GPUs. There was an announcement a few months back that stated that CS4 is optimized to take advantage of nVidia GPUs to help with processing, but only on the PC version of the software.Genexi2
And only the minority run Windows in 64-bit to begin with, where-as a fair amount of OSX Leopard users are already running 64-bit. It shouldn't make much of a difference anyways.
Essentially it'll be 8-12% faster for typical use, but if you have enough RAM and are working with really big photos, it'll run almost 10 times faster. It's actually not that they're using Vista/XP 64, it's that the 64-bit version of CS4 is PC-only.
