Moskau Icon : (Yesterday, 11:26 PM) is there a cow level?
Fire Icon : (Yesterday, 12:21 PM) And frost they said something about more multiplayer unit types with each expansion x.x
Fire Icon : (Yesterday, 12:21 PM) Its most likely going to be $39.99 just like wrath.
Fire Icon : (Yesterday, 12:21 PM) numbnuts where the hell did you hear that lol?
Zippy the Sq... Icon : (Yesterday, 08:42 AM) "Holy wow tf2 blog and i just woke up what is happening i am happy and my hair is fluffy from pillows and i need to pee wow" - Notch
WhiteLotus Icon : (Yesterday, 02:32 AM) my buddy gave me a SC2 friend demo code for 7 free hours of gameplay. that should be plenty of time for me to figure out if I want to buy it...
THE QWERT Icon : (Yesterday, 12:41 AM) oh hey, there's a secret mission in SC2 too.
Uber_Hobo Icon : (28 July 2010 - 11:42 PM) Compiling a map takes a while with VIS running.....need moar func_detail..
Kaori1 Icon : (28 July 2010 - 11:32 PM) Diablo 3 will be either very good or very bad. I herd something about Blizzard toning down on the violence/horror/gore level (lower than Diablo 2's) during the development of D3...so that a younger audience can play it. I hope that doesn't ruin the game since one of my favorite aspects of Diablo 2 was how scary some of the levels looked (even though I was like 14 at the time XD)
Scabby_Al Icon : (28 July 2010 - 10:49 PM) I'll have to upgrade and whenever that is, I'll nab that and I will grab Diablo 3
Numbnuts Icon : (28 July 2010 - 10:48 PM) Hey Fire wasnt the new WoW xpack going to cost $70?
Frost Icon : (28 July 2010 - 09:10 PM) so torrent it and ur good
Frost Icon : (28 July 2010 - 09:10 PM) i doubt it will change the multiplayer at all
Frost Icon : (28 July 2010 - 09:10 PM) single player only anyway
Frost Icon : (28 July 2010 - 09:10 PM) why pay for it? torrent the shit out of the damn expansions
Fire Icon : (28 July 2010 - 07:38 PM) I'm guessing that the sc2 xpacks will be $40 as that is what the wow xpacks have been priced at
Kaori1 Icon : (28 July 2010 - 07:27 PM) Come to think of it, Blizzard is going to prob double its money within the next two years with the realease of SC2, SC2's expansions, Cataclysm and Diablo 3. O_o
SexualHarass... Icon : (28 July 2010 - 07:22 PM) You can take our life! But you can never take our FREEEEEEEEEEDOOO......oh wait.
Kaori1 Icon : (28 July 2010 - 07:18 PM) *looks at the cost of all 3 world of warcraft games/expansions (including the one comming out in November).....then looks back at SC2* yeahhhh...don't get your hopes up. Blizzard is out to rob you of both your life and money. Although, if it's JUST 29 more missions per expansion, then I can see the greed-train that is Blizzard, being merciful. In that case, it would be about $25 tops
THE QWERT Icon : (28 July 2010 - 07:10 PM) but I'm probably gonna get any collectors edition things (I like extra stuff :V) which are probably gonna be another 100 each
THE QWERT Icon : (28 July 2010 - 07:10 PM) It would be dissapointing if the expansions are another $60 each
Scabby_Al Icon : (28 July 2010 - 05:07 PM) This is all a moot point since I can't run it
Scabby_Al Icon : (28 July 2010 - 05:07 PM) If SC2 expansions are cheaper then no worries but I would have a problem paying $60 2 more times to play as all 3 races.
WhiteLotus Icon : (28 July 2010 - 04:56 PM) ick...enough with the spam
Jsanges Icon : (28 July 2010 - 04:51 PM) dont need hiis jock i want is spock
Jsanges Icon : (28 July 2010 - 04:50 PM) check out his hard drive it sets me to warp 5 ?????????????
Jsanges Icon : (28 July 2010 - 04:49 PM) this one is fairly funny too if your a tech .. you might laugh http://www.youtube.c...u/2/DoP3C76ioTU
Jsanges Icon : (28 July 2010 - 04:48 PM) for all you jersey peeps out there http://www.youtube.c...h?v=WrfUXuBaJ1E
THE QWERT Icon : (28 July 2010 - 04:21 PM) and the terran campaign itself is 29 missions, i.e. 1 mission short of the whole original game or brood war.
THE QWERT Icon : (28 July 2010 - 04:20 PM) Why do you doubt that Scabby? It is true that they are releasing SC2:WoL (terran) and then 2 expansions for the other races.
Jsanges Icon : (28 July 2010 - 03:28 PM) they made it a litttle purtier
Jsanges Icon : (28 July 2010 - 03:28 PM) sc2 is fun i downloaded it the other night
Scabby_Al Icon : (28 July 2010 - 02:40 PM) Somehow I doubt that and I still refuse to pay $60 for 1/3 of a game.
Zippy the Sq... Icon : (28 July 2010 - 02:14 PM) Starcraft II will be released in 3-4 segments, yes, each one representing one of the races. That said, each campaign is long enough to be its own game. I hope the "sequels" will be cheaper if you already own the first game.
Scabby_Al Icon : (28 July 2010 - 01:28 PM) Activision is the drizzled shits and I'm giong to hate Blizzard just as much. I'm too lazy to research but I hear SC 2 is going only be a Terran campaign?
Fire Icon : (28 July 2010 - 11:45 AM) mw2 is worse
Zippy the Sq... Icon : (28 July 2010 - 03:58 AM) Heheh, whoops.
Kaori1 Icon : (27 July 2010 - 11:38 PM) What about World of Warcraft Fire?
Moskau Icon : (27 July 2010 - 10:38 PM) Modern Warfail 2; the game continues to defend its title
Fire Icon : (27 July 2010 - 10:10 PM) first being MW2 of course

So my fiance gave me a bunch of money to put toward a new machine (yay) but I'm having difficulty spec'ing something out that can game and is wallet friendly. I just started the process and was looking at a NewEgg bundle listed below. I would love nerd input from SNiGS to help my search!

Thats actually a pretty good build in itself, throw in a 5770-5850 and you'd be rockin' hard.

That looks like a pretty solid deal scabby. I am a bit more partial to the Apollo case NZXT makes because its got a few more nice features and its $10 cheaper, but I do like the angles of the LEXA and it might save you more money if you can't swap in another NZXT case. Either way they are a great company.

I'd suggest an amd 5k series if you can afford it, you'll be set for quite a while, otherwise the 9800gt will bottleneck the machine

How are the AMD Linux drivers these days?

I've been a huge Nvidia fan typically though I've been reading AMD has been innovating like crazy. I'll check it out and see if I can afford one.

Yeah, my brother just got the 9800 literally 3 days ago and that shit heats up like a Siberian Husky Dog in the dessert. The thing apparently would reach 80C mid-L4D2 and then just freeze, not lag, just straight up remain frozen (I woke up at noon yesterday and saw his computer was on when he left for work. It had a windowed L4D2, some system monitors, and the clock in the bottom right corner said 7:24 AM) Only until he downloaded EVGA Precision was he able to turn the fan speed up. So if you end up getting it, beware of heat!

Since I only had about half of what i needed for a gaming rig and we can't spare the extra cash in our savings to make up for it, this project has been scrapped. I will lurk in SNiG and gaming oblivion once more QQ

ROFL Chicken!

Problem is Bam, a gaming laptop is going to cost me more than a desktop. I don't have the means to buy a little now and get more as time goes on. I just about break even every month so any parts I buy now are going to rot away while I don't buy anything else.


I will be a proud member of SNiGS forums community and try to remember who all of you are.

Lame! Last time I hung out in TS, everyone ignored what I typed and were concentrating on Global Agenda happenings and such. If I ain't gaming with you, staring at a TS screen is booorrrriiinnggg
