Agreed.Thank you. ;-)

Not a problem. Noticed someone saying their graphics card had gotten ruined because of it, dug a little bit.
Hoping it's a fluke, but since I'm running on integrated, it's not like I'll have the settings on full blast anyway.

Apparently it degrades performance quite a bit too, better off without.

Sounds like bells and whistles for people who want the prettiest experience possible.
But I don't mind average appearance, so long as the personality's there. ;) -laughs-

A shading technique, to make the light cast more natural shadows, and apparently eats CPU cycles as if they were delicious cookies.

I'm surprised to hear it actually managed to cook off a GPU, I'd assumed those would also have a temperature sensor to avoid getting fried just like the CPU.

By the way Crow how are you doing with Dark Souls? have you killed spider-tits yet?

Max attacks again!

Yeah, I always figured there were safeguards in place to shut down systems before heat destroyed them.

On indefinite hiatus with that one. My integrated graphics were lagging while playing it. Dark Souls is hard enough, but once it got choppy, I knew it was going back on the shelf til I can upgrade.

No, to be honest Dark Souls has enough things that annoy me about it that I didn't put that much effort in.
They pissed me off as soon as I had to go to a wiki to get basic info. It's left a lingering bad taste in my mouth.
So now it gets to sit, DS 2 and Bloodborne are guaranteed no-go's, and I'm looking forward to playing Pillars of Eternity instead.

Blu-ray got jumped over and made obsolete by broadband.

The price of blu-ray movies compared to DVDs at the same point in their lifetime should be quite telling.

People were talking about HD-DVD vs Blu-ray but the true victor was netflix.

Sounds right to me. I hardly ever buy discs for myself, other than a few items I really, really want. (Black Lagoon boxed sets, Cronenberg's Crash and some Lynch stuff come to mind.)
I get DVD's for relatives, but they're older and never got into using computers and the internet, so Netflix is out for them.

I fell like the only brazilian that likes Games Workshop stuff. Have you guys felt like you're the only one that likes something?

Frequently. But then, I don't get out much. I just go by what I enjoy and leave it at that. If I spent time looking for people who share interests, I'd be in for one hell of a long wait.

Not the only, but one of a very small number of people who actually prefer 40K over fantasy here.

What's that MP lagging thing?

I see there was some talk about Dead Space.

A great first game, a good second one. and a facepalm worthy third one.

For me it's not multiplayer, it's too much lag and choppiness during singleplayer. Lack of decent movement was getting me killed repeatedly, so I said to hell with it for the time being.
