Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, what vid would that be LoneD?
The pic almost looks like real life...like a statue or something...where'd you find that?
Or are you just joking? :devil:
Source is a lot younger than that and it's always evolving...I'm quite sure that they've packed almost everything that's possible at this time into the engine and are able to add more as it becomes available...
the audio? There's a thread about it a week or so back with a lot of people who share your (and my) feelings...You should read it...it feels good to know that others are raging with you!
Yeah, that's a good interpretation of the situation too...I just find it hard to believe that all these respectable print magazines have this info and it's the (imo) highly unrespectable fragmaster who breaks the news...
Nothing that Valve has done strikes me as the actions of a company who...
lhauert, you are my new best friend...I haven't laughed that hard at a (serious) post in quite a while!
Anyways, I just think it's odd that it would seem like a fairly large group of people heard this announcement that coverage should be pushed back, and yet FragMaster is the only one making...
lol, I know I'd get a kick out of hearing them speak another language sometimes...Especially if it's like a DVD and you just hit a button and it'll switch language on the fly!
I can imagine someone making an ebonics soundtrack! Or some piglatin!
EDIT: Or how about some Fanta Shokata...
"Hmmm, we need some hits so that our advertisers are happy...what should we do?"
"Oh, I know, take the E3 vids, clean em up a little, and resplice them together into a new video!"
"Um, won't it be pretty obvious that we did that?"
"Not if we make up a story about how excited we were...
there are a lot of good programs that can do mass reformatting into jpeg...I use thumbsplus from www.cerious.com it's a little expensive, but there are "other" ways of getting it...
Can you imagine how many fans would be banging on their door though?
although, Valve has been known to do stuff like that...sending out free, autographed stuff to the first regular guy who just asks for it...
but if you can afford the 9800pro, and it sounds like he can, you should definitely go for it...biggest bang for your buck isn't always great...
If I could get a $1 card that got 1 fps with max detail, that would be the most fps per dollar out there, but not a good idea!
Get the best card...
FX5900 all the way!
EDIT1: or, you could look around a little bit and see for yourself...not to be rude, but doing your own research into this type of stuff is extremely valuable!
EDIT2: I was kidding about the 5900, btw...9800 pro is much much better for HL2 and any dx9 game
