That's the new Nividia card. It's also happens to be the only card that is backed by ID Software. So they more than likely gave a deal to Nividia to include it in the package. That is a good video card. To bad I just bought a new one six months ago. I'll wait another six months and i'm sure there will be another new card. But for right now there are only two better than that one.

It's never a good idea to post stuff drunk or stoned. See my pimp comment about han in the "Blast Points" thread. Drunk + Posting = Stupid ass posts.

Bush got a DUI in 1976. Do you know how drunk you had to be to get a DUI in 1976? They pretty much just dropped you off at home back then unless you were totally blitzed. It's not like today when you get busted for having half a beer in the last 20 minutes.

But no that doesn't make him a bad president. What makes him a bad president (OPINION) is his crappy choices with global relations, environmentalism (Big one), and our economy and nation debt.

That is all I'm going to say on the subject. Unless....................

It's hard to beileve this is the worst thread you've seen on this forum Faid. After all you've only been a member for a few weeks at most. I've seen some stupid threads on here and most of those are gone now.

Is that dumb ass one I started about ewoks pooping still up?

I've played Painkiller and I really didn't care that much for it. Weird huh? The graphics were awsome and I like the idea of it but it was too much of the same the whole game. Nothing really changed. A bunch of guys came at you and I killed them and a new area opened with more guys. I didn't like it much, go figure. It was fun though. I'm stuck on it and have yet to beat it. but now that I have Doom 3 I won't get back to it for some time I think.

The video card is just fine it's the newest driver that is giving me problems. Oh well I'll update it again when the new one comes out. that will fix most of the problems. It always does. Until then i'm going back to the old one.

You have to remember that Bob Hopkins knew what Roger Rabbit was going to look like and be doing when it was all done. Lucas just told his actors that there will be a monster behind you. Most of the time they didn't even know what it was going to look like. I would be different if they had a picture of what is going to be going on with the blue screen. I can't imagine how hard that would be. Not that I’m defending Lucas I think he could do better as a director.

"There will be a vast army of something behind you. Maybe crab people but that doesn't matter we'll deal with that latter. You just have to look scared and slice at stuff with your laser sword. ACTION!" -George Lucas

And yeah that's not a real quote

I know if you play it on ultra high quality that is built for a 512 MB graphics card.

Go here to get the rundown of the different settings.

Farcry was fun. I never thought it would end though. I kept thinking I was close to the end when really I had like twenty more things to do. That kinda pissed me off. But a kick ass game.

Weird Side Note*
I updated my nividia driver and now farcry looks like crap. Everything is blue and I can't make anything out. Oh well at least I beat it aready. I would be Super Pissed if I hadn't yet.

On no I'm not about to be dragged into a political debate. Sorry but I'm not backing up my statement there. That is about as smart as skipping through a mine field.

I have a 92" screen also. Actually it's bigger but it's framed to 92" by black felt.

Anyway it does look good but if you want the best picture out of these a smaller TV is better.

Sense everyone else is talking about their systems I have to brag too

My Equipment
57” 16:9 HD Toshiba Projection TV (57HX81) -or- Infocus 7200 (92" Screen)

I expected absolutely no story at all. Sort of like the original Doom you just get a shotgun and go to town. So I was surprised when it had a story at all. I just like blowing shit up anyway. If I want a story I'll watch a movie. In video games I just like to have fun and blow stuff up. But that's just me. So I’m a bit biased as far as how good the game goes. But for shear fun value nothing beats picking the chainsaw and running around chopping shit up.

What sucks is that by the time I have a good enought Graphics Card to play this will everything all the way up I won't want to play it anymore.

Your actually better off watching these bootlegs on a smaller TV. Anything too big will just make all the bad things about the picture stand out that much more. NOT THAT THE PICTURE IS BAD....the sorce matterial can only be as good as laserdisc. If you blow one of these DVD's up to 92' it's not going to look very good compaired to a 27" crap TV. It will always look better on a smaller screen. That's just how it goes.

It won't look bad but it won't look great either.

Is anyone out there playing Doom 3. I picked it up when I got the new PC and it kicks ass. I'm running it at 800X600 with everything on except bip mapping (Is it bip?...anyway) and it looks great. I can only imagine how good it would look at 1600X1200. All I need now is another graphics card. I'll just wait six months and then get that one which will be replaced in another six months.

But anyway the game is about what I expected, basicly a graphic demo, but it's more fun that I thought it would be. Go figure.

Turn off the lights, Turn up the stereo, and get drunk. ROCK ON

Just because we know what a Gundar is doesn't mean everyone knows. That is a very obscure reference if you ask me. In fact I think were all nerds for even knowing it.

God bless Star Wars (The original cut only

I'm starting to think Star Wars is one big inside joke by Lucas. He puts out this movie that everyone likes and then changes it. And then when they get used to that he changes it again. And then he changes how things are supposed to be said. Next it won't be star wars but "The War In The Stars"
