  1. But....Cranberries are shit.
  2. The game glitched on me, I killed him but the door out wouldn't open and I didn't have a previous save to try and redo the battle or something. He and Bastilla just stood around like tards.
  3. No one has said the Console is enhancing the image, just that a console (with dedicated graphics hardware) is scaling the video output and that it performs this task better than a TV. Better meaning less loss of fidelity. As there is a loss regardless of what device is scaling. In comparison, I can watch a DVD with my 360, it's scaled to 1080p, it looks...okay. I can watch the same DVD with my laptop upscaling it to a 1080p image (assuming fullscreen) and it looks better than the 360. They're hooked up to the same monitor as well. Source material affects the overall outcome though, a movie without any retouching will look like a VHS tape whereas something newer like Transformers scales quite nicely in comparison. Both the 360 and laptop however, do a better job than a regular DVD player hooked up with component to a 1080p TV.
  4. If it's the actual connection dropping and not just the wireless signal perhaps check with your ISP and check about any line problems.
  5. Windows 7 and gaming capable, this is the next closest on ebuyer. Mind you it's much more costly, just shy of 500. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/172298 I'd say give a peek to other sites like aria.co.uk or scan.co.uk and compare their graphics to notebookcheck to give an idea. Although, basically anything Intel is worth ignoring, actually anything integrated no matter the company. I've no time, or else I'd be looking around.
  6. Well....The CPU is about the same really, but the GPU is Intel 4500 which is certainly worse than the ASUS. 4570 Intel GMA If you scroll on down you'll notice that the Intel solution can barely play WoW on low. If you want to play games of any sort, don't go with Integrated Graphics.
  7. He did however say that Joe would go one to sell more Albums than RATM have ever done.
  8. http://event.asus.com/2009/Windows7/ Also of note: Dunno about the upgrade cost though, I think it's less than half the of the full version though. I just checked on the dates of when my friend got his ASUS, he got it August of 08 and hasn't had a single issue. In comparison my Toshiba's RAM has died twice in that time, although...it's being going great since I replaced it myself with something a bit more...name brand.
  9. ME is easily finished in 3 days, even doing the sidequests. Multiple playthroughs however...
  10. Choze....it must be nice to live in your own little delusions.
  11. She is the waitress in the bar, and later on she is the girl in the apartment where Jackie Boy is trying to get in. Basically where Clive Owens part of the film starts. The Big Fat Kill.
  12. To be fair, it seems she usually had minor roles though. Also of note she voiced Luanne on King of the Hill.....I have no idea how many of you may have watched that.
  13. I'd recommend Fallout 1 and/or 2. Available on Steam and GoG.com for Download. Otherwise, Kotor is certainly better than ME, but hardly Biowares best.
  14. I just remembered, the most unique game I've ever played/seen/heard of. LSD: Dream Emulator.
  15. I like Sleep Now in the Fire as my Favorite. Really just for Morello's Guitar Work.

    SNOW!

    Eenuh, is that a Bernese Mountain Dog? High five if it is.
  17. Actually, the quality of the console upscaling will blow away the quality of the TV upscaling. TV upscalers are quite often terrible. Which, is why you want to have your console set as close to the native resolution as possible. Many 720p TVs are really 1366x768, so setting it to that is recommended. I've heard you can do it with HDMI now, but before on the 360 only the VGA cable allowed for that.
  18. I think some people are using too broad of a definition of unique.
  19. You sell Dorf Fort short by just calling it a city building game. It's more like you are a Dictator controlling everything that goes on. Sim City is a city building game, Dorf Fort is hardly similar.
  20. Actually, unless you break it down it's not much different. Some people go completely crazy over all the technical aspects of pokemons stats. It's how 2 pokemon of the same type and level can have drastically different stats resulting in one being more powerful. Sacrifice is to my knowledge pretty unique. It's a 3rd person Action RTS, and it may even be construed as slightly RPG. It's sort of mission based...except you choose your missions from 5 different warring gods, although eventually do to many missions for a rival and they won't give you any. Bonus is that earthworm jim is basically one of the gods, and someone else is voiced by Tony Jay. The most similar game I can think of is Brutal Legend.
  21. :/ No festive menu in the US. Anyone that thinks McD's is terrible....be glad you don't have a White Castle around. The worst fast food there is, don't believe harold and kumar.
  22. So irrelevant of whatever a band might sing, only English bands should win?

    SNOW!

    I find riding on Ice quite dangerously fun myself. Hasn't really snowed much here yet, but it's been frigidly cold...aside from last weekend when it was a delightful 46F.
