Nope, its maybe 2% that and 18% of Tnecniv posting wicked screenies!

[Blinx123]

What's the other 20%? I'm guessing Fav posting pictures of his most recent super expensive component acquisition?

Nah. It's Badger and his old WWII pal CD scolding me like only two 90 year old grandpas could.

You're still using a 4:3 CRT. Who you calling grandpa? I bet you got one of those old school magnifiers.

Not anymore. Pal.
The only time I'll ever use it again is if I need to fire up my Amiga.

At work, yes. At home, hell no!

I couldn't get a dominatrix for 15 bucks so, naturally, I went with the next best thing.



This will be so much pain and suff ... fun.

Collectors editions really impress the ladies.

Some percentage of Vincent's awesome screens, and then a substantial percentage (exceeding 100%) which accounts for the sheer awesomeness of the only PC thread on this site

The store I got it from was cutting down on shelf space.
The CE was on sale while the regular retail was still going for 19.99.

It was a no-brainer.

On a side note, I never knew how many goddamn versions of Gothic 1-4 and Risen/Risen 2 there were.

There's like 4 different releases of Gothic 3 alone (not even account for the low-budget/jewel case releases).

That whole store was basically stuffed with nothing but Gothic.

@Badger3920

It's not that awesome, dude.
It ceased to be awesome some time ago.

Now it's just one single enthusiast (Tnecniv) being forced to watch the infighting of some poor mannered douche bags (us).

What happened to the glorious brotherhood of home computing nerds? Just what has Troy done to this thread ...

Gothica 4 blew. I hated it. I am so glad Skyrim came out to clense my pallette.

Actually, the meat and potatoes of this thread is more just "Blinx's daily disaster" and then "Everything Else"

It's sort of a play by play of your life, as the most boring soap opera ever full of the most easily avoidable but repetitive problems, and then whatever anyone else does in the thread =)

Diablo III benchmarked. Not much required to play this one, as expected:

It's safe to say, I can run Diablo 3!

And wait, only 18%? Am gonna have to dedicate my next 50 posts with 500 screenshots worth of Skyrim and Witcher 2! jk

But seriously...

Am tempted to pick this up whenever it goes in stock.

What's a good resale value for the 570 (evga, stock, awesome condition)? Have got a co-worker willing to buy it off me for $200. Damn upgrade bug won't go away.
