Re: Whatever Happens In Your Life: Forever
Looking up some HD5870 versus GTX480 reviews and stumped once more.

Would tessellation apply to an old rig making do on XP and DX9?

If not then the 5870 might be better and cheaper aside from drivers and maybe OpenGL... I still think nV winds hands down in general on those two. But damn the price, the power consumption and heat of the 480...

Or it's another long wait to the next cycle, and the hard disks are losing data day by day... :sigh:
I've head a few times that the GTX 480 is only a little more powerful than the 5870 anyway.

It costs 32% more, draws 32% more, and doesn't perform 32% better. Top card though it may be, the 5870's not far behind.

Umm, we don't joke about that.  You never know when someone is kidding or serious, and there have actually been serious suicide-related posts on this forum in HLP's past.  Please retract your statement.

Those two statements do not belong in the same post.

On the Voyager topic, I remember watching some of the early episodes. I actually had to get a physics book and detox after the "photonic matter" episode.

Currently considering getting a new HDD.

It's so easy to not smoke for a day when you have just enough money to either go down and see someone you can **** tomorrow, or buy a pack of cigarettes.

I have only to take the Math Placement Test for K-State and everything I need to do will have been taken care of for the next three weeks or so.

And the Best Bible Study EVAR will be starting up a week from tomorrow. :D

Re: Whatever Happens In Your Life: Forever
Double Post.

Just beat Metroid Prime again.  Total Completion:  88%.  I only had 205 missiles by the end, but I did have all the energy tanks.  Was missing one research entry, one Choze Lore entry, and I think five creature entries.  I think I did alright.

Now moving on to Metroid Prime 2 in an attempt to finally beat it.

 
Re: Whatever Happens In Your Life: Forever
Let me guess: one of those creature entries was the Ice Shriekbats.

Re: Whatever Happens In Your Life: Forever
Actually.... it might have been.  Ugh.

I KNOW that I missed:
Aqua Drone
Flaaghra Tentacle
Whatever that War Wasp Machine was.  I forgot to scan the actual machine.

I'm pretty sure I missed Alpha Pirate (That's a different one from Elite Pirate, right?)

I also must have missed a whole bunch of missile upgrades.  How many missiles can you end with, anyway?

Sat through another thunderstorm. An hour and a half to two hours of lightning and listening to my sister babble on about the environment.

Re: Whatever Happens In Your Life: Forever
That list of scans is why I keep a GameFAQs page open when I'm replaying a game, and sometimes the first time around. :p

(I'm doing that right now for Wind Waker, actually.  For whatever OCD reason, I've decided to fill the entire Nintendo Gallery this time around.  Ugh...)

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems
