Computer Gaming

i cant really complain. i have only 256 dsl with unlimited download. so far i havent had any problems. i pay around 50 bucks a month for it which is really expensive right? but its the only thing available.

Jeez, 256 @ £50 :S I pay £10 = $5 for 2meg Unlimited with FUP.
 
Wouldn't 10 pounds be $20?

Anyway, that's the difference between living in a advanced country verses a 3rd-world country :smile:

You probably mean $50 but yeah thats very expensive. the next cheapest thing is dial-up for around 65 cents an hour but that comes out more expensive when u calculate it. But 2MB for 10 pounds sounds real nice. especially with unlimited download. I can only dream :frowning: :frowning:

Errr hang on, its nearly 2dollars to the pound so yes it would be $20, LMFAO thats even worse :??

Addendum:

i started Assassin's Creed on the 360 yesterday its pretty awesome

i finished the second mission/assassination just now ^_^

as for trying it on the PC

DONT, unless you have 2.8+ dual core, 3GB Ram, and i think its 8600 or better

so you might as well buy a 360 for less then all of what you would have to pay to upgrade lol
 
Pictures now:
(note all are on premium engine, but i lowered the settings down some, do remember, this isnt the prettiest the game can look, but it is almost there)
(Left to right like the last set)
1 - my third frigate, inside a station, i had to "train" my frigate skill to three which took about 17Hours
2 - a panned view to the left of a passing star.
3 - my second frigate, with two lasers on each side.
next row
4 - second firgate flying out to start gate.
5 - A drill, the description said that it was very old and nothing on it was worth salvaging.
last row
6 - my newest frigate, it is also the largest yet, however it is used more for fighting then mining and thus has a smaller cargo bay.

more if i play again later

Donald! I believe your resolution is too hi. You have less then 10 FPS on some screenshots. Thats unplayable for my taste :??. At least, AT LEAST 25 FPS for kinda rough playing. 50+ is the real thing. :lol:
 
^ please remember sarge my graphics card

My Resolution is that high, yes, i have a small none-wide screen monitor. Ill take some images of it at small res for you

i only have a 8400GS its on DDR ram, not DDR2 or 3

as well, this game isnt all that big on movement, its nto a FPS, i can get 157 on HL2: lost coast :wink:

i get anyways from 30-80 FPS in COD4 with graphics on low

---

you best not dis my gaming quality, i have no problem with it, if the game is actually any good, graphics shouldnt really matter, i mean really?

im getting angry at people that freak out about that, i mean some of the hardest games ever, never had check points, saves after level completion and of course they were 2D

well thats just my opinion, but i dont fancy graphics, i played HL1/2 both on the lowest settings, most due to my GFX card, but i had no problem with it.

If i took off the premium GFX on EVE my FPS would go back up above 50,

May i also remind you, in Eve (in the stations) very little is actually moving, your ship floats a little but thats it, sometimes theres other things too. Out in space, Very little is moving, except ships.

oh well i wont argue...
 
My broadband provider (3rd day now !) tested my line before I signed up and said that it should be capable of 6.5Mb/s when the service has bedded in. I speed tested it twice shortly after it was installed, and it clocked then at a whisker under 4Mb/s.
That seems like well oiled lightning compared to what I've been used to for 7 years. How does it compare to things where you all are ?

pretty good.

i have 1283kbps download/491kbps upload on "768kbps" dsl...who knows =P

[edit] $35/month

Latest update. They weren't just b*llsh*tt*ng when they said it would bed in. I just clocked it at 6.214Mb/s down and 383Kb/s up. Just waiting now for the VoIP second line to be activated and everything will be hunky dory.
(except I can't get my old Thinkpad connected wirelessly with the US60SE adapter. Being a wireless virgin I'm still groping in the dark to understand the whole business. Am I correct in thinking that I'm also going to have to get an ethernet card (the Thinkpad is too old to have one but does have built in iR). The installation pack seems to be saying that I'm going to have to establish a hardwired LAN first on W98 ? )

Its okay Donald, get used to seeing the end of a game before beginning :tongueout:
 
Well, I have to say my Dad is done playing HL2 Episode Two, so I can now... Start! :grinning: (I'm very busy with modeling at the moment, but I'll start it some time soon, hopefully).
