Homeworld 3? (3 comments)
Posted by Monkey_Business @ 16:02 CDT, 14 March 2015 - iMsg
With gearbox entertainment resurrecting homeworld by remaking homeworld 1 and 2 with modernized graphics (I recently played through both games) is it possible that there are plans on creating a third homeworld at some point in the next few years?

There is already a third installment into the homeworld universe (but still not

Perhaps a homeworld 3 could be the next big thing in the competitive RTS gaming scene.

COD Adv Warfare multiplayer doesn't work (14 comments)
Posted by Monkey_Business @ 11:19 CST, 15 February 2015 - iMsg
75% of the time that I (try) to login to Call Of Duty Advanced Warfare multiplayer, I get an error message that says "service is not available at this time, please try again later".

Like I said, 3/4 of the time, I cannot log into multiplayer.

This is really frustrating.

Far Cry 4 microstuttering nightmare! (9 comments)
Posted by Monkey_Business @ 22:39 CST, 28 November 2014 - iMsg
I just bought and installed Far Cry 4 for my PC and started playing it last night.

Unfortunately, I am experiencing a severe microstuttering and frame-skipping problem that makes the game unplayable at times.

Is there any way to fix this? According to what I've read on other websites, many people are experiencing this problem. This game needs to be patched ASAP!

I'm running a Core i7 3770K @4.0GHz w/16GB RAM and dual SLI GTX 680's.

Far Cry 3 had this exact same problem. Apparently it must be an inherent issue with the Dunia engine.

I'm sure that none of you know who she is, but Heathyr Hoffman is a sexy petite blonde who was on a SyFy channel reality show in 2009 called "ghost hunters academy".

And I just so happen to be madly infatuated with Heathyr.

Topless photos of her have leaked to the internet.

I can't post nudity on this forum, so I have censored them.

I've been playing the beta version of battlefield 4 for the past week or so, and it is full of awkward graphical bugs as well as physics/collision glitches.

Also, I get only 35-50 fps on "Ultra" detail @1920x1080 using two GTX 680's in SLI.

Will the full version of the game run smoother and look better than the beta?

It just seems that the Beta is a buggy piece of shit.

Creepiest things kids have said (6 comments)

Popular Reddit thread with very many posts

http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/1d...est_thing/

Here are some of my favorite.

"I was on a bus recently and we were stopped outside a walk-in clinic. A little girl in the seat in front of me turned to her dad and said, "Death is the poor man's doctor." And that was that."

"Why are you crying?
"Bad man"
What bad man?
"There." Points behind me at a dark corner of the room
Lamp on bookshelf next to said darkened corner falls off as soon as I turn to look.
She slept in our bed that night"

"My toddler went through a phase where she would just constantly say 'hi' to things. "Hi hi hi hi hi hi"
One day, it came out sounding more like "Die die die die die"
So I say to her "What's that you're saying?"
And she turns to face me and just whispers "Diiiieeeeeee......."

"I was tucking in my two year old. He said "Good bye dad." I said, "No, we say good night." He said "I know. But this time its good bye."
Had to check on him a few times to make sure he was still there."

"I don't have kids, but once, visiting some friends on a farm, my buddy's youngest girl (5 or 6) at the time, was afraid of the chickens. I tried to explain to her that the chickens weren't there to hurt us but she wasn't having it.
So I'm sitting around the fire pit, looking at one of the chickens a few feet in front of me when I feel hot breath in my ear as she whispers:
"See. He's always watching."
Horrific and hysterical all at once."

"Getting my two and a half year old daughter out of the bath one night, my wife and I were briefing her on how important it was she kept her privates clean. She casually replied "Oh, nobody 'scroofs' me there. They tried one night. They kicked the door in and tried but I fought back. I died and now I'm here." She said this like it was nothing."

I have a $2,500 enthusiast gaming PC with multiple graphics cards.

This is the worst micro-stuttering and frame skipping problem I have ever had with any PC game.

GTX 680 vs two-way CF HD 5870's? (11 comments)

Would a single GTX 680 be faster than two HD 5870's in crossfire?

I'm building a new gaming rig and for the time being, I can only afford a single GTX 680. But I will add 2nd one as soon as I have the money.

Still, wouid 1 GTX 680 be faster than two HD 5870's?

To my knowledge, there aren't any pro-gaming circuits for any of the battlefield games.

Most FPS pro gaming tournaments involve the "quake" and "unreal" games.

GTA 5 for the PC? (20 comments)

Will Grand Theft Auto 5 be released for the PC and the consoles simultaneously, or will we have to wait many months for it to be ported over to the PC?

I know this is a very console-oriented game.

It would run much faster and look far better on the much more capable PC hardware. Plus the massive modding community would be very happy.

Should I wait until Haswell? (2 comments)
Posted by Monkey_Business @ 16:37 CST, 9 November 2012 - iMsg
I read that the next-gen "Haswell" Intel processors are going to offer 50% more performance than the current Ivy-Bridge architecture.

The jump from Nehalem to SB and IB was 10-15% at best. I think it's time that Intel puts out a processor that offers a major performance gain like the Core 2 quad to the first-gen Core i7, which was around 50%.

I am hesitant to build a new 3770K gaming rig for Christmas knowing that the Haswell processors are right around the corner for Q1 2013.

Should I wait for the Haswell to build a new gaming rig?

8-core processors (31 comments)

When are the long awaited 8-core processors from AMD and Intel going to be commercially available? Will they use current sockets and chipsets or require new ones?

What kind of applications would fully make use of an 8-core 16-thread processor? Certainly there aren't any PC games that would need or use so much CPU resources. Do I really need this much CPU power if I'm just playing games, viewing photos, and browsing the internet?

I can't remember, but does the Ivy Bridge use Intel socket 2011 or 1155?

DX12? (1 comment)
Posted by Monkey_Business @ 04:18 CDT, 11 October 2012 - iMsg
I read that DirectX 12 will be featured in the future generation of graphics cards from AMD and Nvidia in circa 2014.

Are there any details yet about what might be included in the next version of DirectX? DX10 was a HUGE leap from DX9, while DX11 was essentially DX10 with bug fixes, better coding, and tesselation.

Hopefully DX12 will deliver something that will "wow" us PC gamers much like Crysis did with DX10. Do I smell a CryEngine 4?

Upgrading graphics cards (25 comments)
Posted by Monkey_Business @ 18:00 CDT, 1 October 2012 - iMsg
Dual CF HD 5870's > Twin SLI GTX 670's.

Is this a good, solid upgrade? Will I see a significant improvement in performance in games like Battlefield 3, Crysis, Crysis 2, Skyrim, Metro 2033, and so forth?..

The 1GB of my HD 5870's is causing low fps and microstuttering in many situations. I have a 1920x1080 resolution monitor, and 2GB+ on your GPU(s) comes in handy.

Dragons can't fly supersonic and they don't have heat-seeking missiles, JDAMS, and DU-firing cannons.

You can unleash hell on the ground with that plane as well.

Since nudity isn't allowed on this forum (or is it?), I am simply going to state that nude photos of this girl have been discovered on the internet and are spreading throughout dozens of websites on the web.

I nearly had a heart attack when I saw news of this and viewed the photos for the first time.

Crysis 3 (7 comments)

With the ending of Crysis 2 and as well as strong sales, Crysis 3 is inevitable, but NOTHING has been said by EA or Crytek, yet... We don't even know if the game is currently in development.

Hopefully the CryEngine 4 will be so advanced it will ONLY run on PC's and next-gen consoles.

Crysis 2 looked like a high-end PS3/XBOX360 game. Even on the computer.

Honestly, the graphics were not that impressing.

Although the DX11 and high resolution pack makes the game tons prettier.

Good lord! this is the fastest memory I've ever seen! How much does this memory kit cost?

Apparently it was designed specifically for the ASUS Rampage IV Extreme X79 enthusiast motherboard.

How do they run it at those speeds without it becoming unstable or overheating?

They must have huge heatsinks which require tons of airflow to keep them cool.

When is the next hardware killer? (27 comments)
Posted by Monkey_Business @ 21:20 CDT, 9 April 2012 - iMsg
Back in 2007, the game "Crysis" brought every single hardware setup to it's knees.

Nowadays, a single flagship GPU like the GTX 680/HD 7970 can smoothly run Crysis on it's maximum settings and resolutions.

When is the next PC title that will make today's fastest PC's sweat and cry?

I heard a rumor that "Metro 2034" is going to benchmark the new hardware and give it a run for it's money.

Also, the PC port of Grand Theft Auto 5 will test systems to their limits.

I didn't want to be named "womansworld" but that was the name of my EA account. I didn't feel like going through the hassle of creating another email and EA profile so I could have a different handle.

I figured that you could just choose a username like in BF2 and BFBC2. Battlelog is a bunch of bullshit.

This problem is getting very annoying as I have to save frequently and keep rebooting the game.

It only crashes when I'm outside in the skyrim open-world and it does not crash when I'm in dungeons or inside buildings.

Extremely poor performance in Rage (20 comments)
Posted by Monkey_Business @ 02:11 CDT, 8 October 2011 - iMsg
I played Rage on the PC and immediately noticed extremely laggy textures as well as constant framerates below 20 FPS.

I've got an extremely high-end ATI CrossfireX desktop and I'm not sure if the poor performance is being caused by game glitches or just the fact that this game is torturously taxing on even the fastest PC hardware possible. Even more so than Crysis, GTA4, and Metro 2033.

The game runs so poorly it isn't fun to play.

I certainly hope that ID software releases a patch fixing this pressing problem.
