UT3 Update: PC vs PS3 not in the cards

ah, you were talking different control schemes - I jumped the gun and thought you were using G5/high dpi/etc as an excuse. My bad. I can agree with that. I have both a console and a computer at home and still find that a keyboard/mouse combo gives a lot more in the way of precision than say...

UT3 Update: PC vs PS3 not in the cards

I hate to sound like a wet blanket but dang. Does that stuff really make a difference. Its like putting a noob infront of the wheel of sports car and a professional wheelman in a dinky 4 banger. The wheelman will still own the sports car. Moral of the story: if you are going to pwn you are going...

What is everyone addicted to?

COH is what I'm hooked on. Good god is it fun pounding tanks with indirect fire. I need to seriously just finish up the rest of my games rather than keep buying new ones. Games I got to finish: Star Wars Empires at War Final Fantasy XII Mario Strikers (can't really finish it but I need...

Dell 1501 w/1 Gig RAM and Vista Premium

My advice? Get the 2 gigs. Vista will run ok with 1 gig. I really can't get a good idea of what kind of threshold you have for slow. If it means just surfing the net and word processing then yeah, it would work. DVD playback will be so so. Contrary to what people believe Vista does run with 1...

Anyone have a Vostro?

a friend of mine has one. Its has little to no bloatware. It doesn't have any "bling" to it. Looks fairly no descript but functions as a very well built laptop. gobucks has it right, it was a bit heavy from my impressions of lifting it.

Ultralight vs Gaming . . .

I'm in the neighborhood for an ultralight. I do game and I have a good desktop rig reserved for that. In the past I have bought a number of desktop replacement laptop in the form of large heavy, space heaters. For the most part it wasn't a big deal. I was in college at the time but didn't need...

How much is too much?

Maybe mini games where a damaged control system may bring up a schematic overlay and he has to re-route power by figuring out how to connect the broken circuits using a sets of straight, looped, 90 degree wires. I dunno. . . Actually the more I think about it the more I dunno how this is...

How much is too much?

I dunno you can add a lot of depth in a genre that really has not rules. Who to say you can't add a flux capacitor on a starship and zip around time. Sticking to some basic physics principles only adds more realism in a game that is based on fiction. But in reality whether the technology will...

For those who love the Nostromo n52 as I do

Your statement about costing a lot of money to upgrade, makes sense. That I can understand, but there really isn't a reason to bash MS over the head for it. You always have a choice, which it sounds like you have. MS is a business like many others. Although I wish they gave OSs for free...

Modding console legality...

I dunno but the idea that "one guy ruined it for the rest of us" comes to mind. I look at mod chips and adding more functionality to an expensive game/media device as a good thing. For the record, I have a job and purchase my games so this in no way implies that stealing or playing illegal ISOs...

How much is too much?

I have to agree. A mini game is fine but I believe his question is how tedious does a game get before it becomes more "busy" work than fun. The pilot flys the ship, the 2 gunners fire weapons, the bombadier drops and times the explosive discharge, and we got the lowly engineer stuck behind a...

How much is too much?

A couple of things come to mind. . . I'm no programmer, mind you. You listed a pretty broad question in your post. "Would it be too much work to be fun?" The question is pretty subjective, but there are some questions you can answer to help narrow down the answer. Is this game built around...

Nice additions so far. There's a lot of good information in this thread. Even more so its got the most views of all the threads in this category. Perhaps a sticky? I know we aren't the only N52 lovers out there.
