When I say run I mean playable on High 1680x1050 and lower. A more expensive card can do very high 1680x1050 excellently and depending on your definition of playable 1920x1200 very high. For Crysis a steady 17 and above is playable imo. Honestly, depending on what card you have of course, 1920x1200 shouldn't be a problem for most games there are only a few that really have trouble there (Crysis, STALKER CS). Furthermore, I wasn't trying to do a direct comparison of graphics, Crysis has the best it is fact. They are out of reach for the majority of people, but they are the most realistic. What I was trying to make a point of though is that different styles are appealing to different people. On some end of the year award polls I voted STALKER for graphics because I prefer that style over Crysis Warhead, despite I do know Crysis is better. It's like voting for Prince of Persia over Assassins Creed, both are great looking but the art is so different that you can't really define which is better and it comes down to preference. My preference is not MGS4, which is great(best?) for consoles, but not my thing.

Crysis can be run on quite a cheap PC now adays(close to the PS3s launch price, or lower if you can cannibalize other components). Nothing can "truely" max it yet, but even at high/very high@1920x1200 it's still oneofthebest/best looking games. When it first released Drivers were a really big problem too.

ahh you gave up. Sorry to be a bit of a dick:heh: It is actually more snow than I currently have, but very little compared to what I'll gotten/ will get.
-
Nah, that's just some cold slow moving rain.
-
tshh that's hardly snow at all.

"Re-enacting A History of Violence proved fatal for poor Greg" Most of these sound like Farside captions.

Sounds like Braveheart in a tribal setting, well from that one statement at least. I haven't seen it, it never came off like that.

AGP comes in like more varients than PCI though, mostly dependant on Voltage. depending on whatever those may be 2x 4x or 8x. -_- I do like to help though, otherwise.....I wouldn't.

quite untrue, sometimes people will lurker for months before joining or just quitting. Hell I joined then quit competely and came back just the end of last year.

Excellent excellent game, I would buy a sound system just for that game. About balls....on another forum we have a Welsh user who goes by balls, he never posts outside of the Off Topic Lounge though. There is also a running joke about him being god.....idk why though

The real question is, how many lurkers are registered, but not signed in? I lurk quite a bit, but I'm always signed in whilst doing so.

On a technicality every game has both:heh: I don't which your talking about:confused: I never really needed CQC that I remember, the Tranq pistol is my best friend. As for the graphics, I assume by raw technicalilties you mean the fact that this is done on hardware equivalent to a 7800GTX and a great CPU and limited RAM...yes it's great looking in that aspect. Not playing anything that looks better is really a matter of opinion again. Going for realistic, Crysis still has the title of best graphics (I understand you may not have played it, hence your wording) but if you stray from realistic or into differing versions of realism (Like AC-MGS-GoW-Crysis, all realistic but all different) then it's just your own preference. Me I love game visuals like STALKER and Assassins Creed more.

Wikipedia can be edited by anyone, plus there are a few different PCI ports. PCI- long single port generally used for soundcards video tuners occasionally modems. PCI-e(xpress) short, about 3cm (including the casing around the port) used for a variety of things similar to PCI but faster. PCI-E(xpress) x16 A long port like PCI, but a bit longer and usually the interface isn't one long piece. PCI-E(xpress) x16 2.0 An update on the PCI-Ex16 interface, fully backwards compatible. A bit faster more effecient is the easy way to say it. both x16 ports are commonly just Video Cards. If I really wanted to confuse you I could start talking about AGP(so glad we moved aay from those), or the (usually horrible) PCI PCI-E GPUs that are made occasionally. Also, I think almost everyone here suggested the 4850>9800GTX+.

They certainly are good, but I'm not that impressed personally.

Well until a new thread is made, inanimate objects would just be toys. Animals are odd, I'm sure a male animal would show willingness while a female....idk and don't really want to know. I'll say that in most places it's illegal and thats good enough for me. As for getting your freak on, well consent is simple as the girl allowing it to happen, how many TV shows and films show the horny husband hop into bed and his wife tells him she has a headache? When you get your freak on, if the girl is willing(legs open:smile: ) that is essentially consent.

....I wasn't talking about the graphics when I said it was a better game. (which btw everything is imo) Besides, beauty is in the beholders eye, graphics aren't just about realism art style and a flowing together with other parts of the engine help. That's why people say Prince of Persia is a beautiful game, despite that it's a cartoon as you say.

Well, you come across someone passed out in an alleyway, if you have sex with them is it rape? They won't know so they can't complain, they're passed out so resistance is unlikely.Perfect joke setup here Afaik most lawful definitions of rape would be sexual intercourse without consent (or something along those lines) so an unconscious person would be unable to give consent making it legally (and probably morally) rape. Of course then you just say they were awake and willing before they passed out:indeed: Of course as I always like to say, it's not illegal if you don't get caught.... EDIT, I think a balanced discussion is perfectly possible, mostly due to the fact that were on the same side, we're just talking about extra details, sort of like an FAQ.

MGS4 fell short, it wasn't even better than MGS3(easily bested the 2nd though). Honestly I think Kojima was just screwing with us the same way a troll would post something ludicrous to start a flame war. The graphics were good, but nothing mind blowing or astounding. I was playing Chronicles of Riddick while my friend was giving MGS4 a once over and I noticed that it certain points Riddick has better textures(usually worse though) and that's not zooming way in on both, just normal play. Story was typical MGS stuff, no higher or lower than the others really. Confusing, but I've seen more confusing (and better at that). Gameplay, this is where it shines. Plenty of people probably didn't like the stealth approach (therefore not liking the game), while others (my friend) ignored it and played like an action game. Well with MGS4 you can play either way really action or stealth or a mixture. The one thing I wish had made a return would be the self treatment in the field from MGS3. Haven't tried online. There is lots of replay value though if you want all the medals. I may sound kind of negative but really the game is great and should be played, but it's similar to FF7 great but not as great as popular opinion. Of course popular opinion decides everything. I find Valkyria Chronicles to be a much better game, I decided that off of the demo alone, then went and bought it. Speaking of VC.....it only sold 33K in the US November, so everyone should go buy it for great justice.

Well you must define complaint, I think of complaint as verbally voicing your negative opinion on the matter. While perhaps the rapee (seriously rape is the verb, raper/rapist is whoever prefroms the act, what would the victim be. Victim is too generic) is mute, therfore unable to complain. Or perhaps they're unconscious, then they can't even resist. Which nullifies it's only rape if they resist. I await your retort. Also, I first read that as heroin molly, as in her other personality that's on drugs...although I suppose it could be some sort of super molly.

PCI-E and PCI-E by 2.0 is essentially the same thing, you'll be fine.

Idk why but I've been stuck on So What lately, it's just catchy to me. Also....I don't know any Alanis, outside of her role as god of course. In reality I probably do know some of her songs, but my main music is radio and I don't know what I'm listening to half the time. I do know my dad has Jagged Little Pill though.

I would say decoder, but since it's playing other movies that's probably not it. WMP will usually tell you if a codec is needed, and a DVD shouldn't need one regardless. Really I'd go with what DCK said and try VLC. Another option could be trying Dvix or Winamp, winamp isn't that great for videos though. oh and yes DCK I use WMP to watch movies

Snow isn't that bad, sleet/freezing rain is much worse.
