Not exactly true, the original XBox used a GeForce 3/4 level card, which you could run Doom 3 on the PC, granted, at about 20 FPS.
Still, the differences between Direct3D "9.5" as you call it and full Direct3D 10 are quite large.
Makes no sense to me, they'll have to scale for the consoles which by the time Alan Wake comes out will have been far surpassed by the latest PCs. I mean I plan on getting Vista anyway because of Direct3D 10 but if they're putting in the XBox 360 then why can't they provide a Direct3D 9 version...
Posting quotes and not expanding or explaining why you have used them isn't a very impressive form of argument.
Then the show wouldn't have ended with a shot of Tony, how could they have possibly not ended it with a shot of the central, and most important character in the series?
Well to me The Sopranos was a TV show, not a philosophical lesson. If it really was meant to be some message about how "Life goes on" then the ending in my eyes was just a load of pretentious crap that I don't want or need, life does sometimes build up to nothing but I don't need a TV show to...
Tony had to look over his shoulder long before the final season. Why wait until the final episode to convey this rather simple message, it's hardly ground-breaking is it? Obviously Tony is going to have to look over his shoulder constantly, he's the boss of a mafia family with lots of enemies...
If Tony had lived then they should have ended it like a normal episode with the music rolling over the credits; that to me would have signified that "life goes on" but instead they didn't, the music stopped and the screen went black, which suggests something different than the normal occurred at...
I saw it as Tony getting whacked. Bobby in an earlier episode "You probably don't even hear it" when you get whacked. Well, the sound abruptly ends and the screen goes blank as if he's been shot in the head or something. Why not roll the credits with the music like they normally do if it ends...
It was a good race, I enjoyed it. Probably the best of the season so far, loads of drama, though the safety cars got a bit annoying. Hamilton did a great job considering how he kept his head when some of the more experienced drivers were losing theirs, including the two time world champion...
Small English town? Originally it was set in Maine, or are they just using it to say a town of anglo-saxon descent? Anywho, can't wait, The Mist was one of my favourite Stephen King short stories.
The parents met with the pope yesterday, as if that's going to help the situation. God isn't going to bring their kid back.
It is true, thousands of children die every week in Africa yet the world seems content to sit on their asses about that. Look at Darfur, is no one going to do anything...
