Re: Final Fantasy XIV

Got my Beta invite today. You got your beta invite.. to the open beta? Looks like I'll be playing FF XIV tonight. =) Doubt it. https://dev-na.ffxiv.com/ubbthreads.php I'm quite sad about this. Really looking forward to actually getting to play with some of my FFXI crew, and now we gotta wait longer...

Re: White Knight Chronicles

Is it better than Dragon Age Origins? Cause I love that game and barely play it... You know what, I'm gonna have to say yes. I also have Dragon Age for PS3, and even though I really like it, it loses me sometimes. Like there's a lull, or something hard to find/get to, and I start to lose interest. ...

White Knight Chronicles

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_NPRtCAhKDJE/TCbIeA_EHRI/AAAAAAAAEEs/tLSoyseAh_k/s400/White_Knight_Chronicles.jpg Allow me to present a hypothetical situation. Let's say you have a PS3, and don't own White Knight Chronicles. What the hell is wrong with you? I have a few theories on this: Problem: You read...

Re: E-Newsletter?

Excellent job, pritam, that looks awesome. About distributing this via PDF, I think it's a bad idea because it's slow, you need additional software from Adobe to view it, it's more efficient to distribute it as HTML+CSS (which is easy to convert to PDF if ever needed), it's easier/faster to keep a s...

Re: E-Newsletter?

Well, I don't think plain text would be a smart idea, I have some code that I made some 'ghetto syntax highlighting' of (Just changed the color of the text). Right now it's in an odt format (Open Office), but I don't know if you have that :p. So would it be easier if I put it in a Microsoft Word (....

Sweet! Format doesn't matter, plain text is fine, and if you have any pics, it's probably best they're separate.

Re: FFXIV Benchmark

It's official. The GTX 460 is fucking awesome. My original benchmark with the 8600 GTS was 1162 and the gameplay was rather choppy at times. With the GTX 460... http://i34.tinypic.com/4t4rx0.jpg DAMN! Over 2000 point increase and the game looks abso-fucking-lutely beautiful. Hell yeah, man, congrat...

Re: FFXIV Benchmark

After gluing myself to reviews and articles for several hours I ended up purchasing a GTX 460 1gb off of newegg (they had the best price I could find, gotta love the Egg). Can't wait to get the card in and fire her up. Nice, you will not regret the purchase. It was quite a smooth install for me, Wi...

Re: E-Newsletter?

Alright, I'll put together something then for the logo, is the official newsletter "The Chaos Right E-Newsletter" or did I miss something? Also, can I see the templates? Anything of the sort would help. Yeah, the templates I made just said "The Chaos Rift Newsletter". Or E-Newsl...

Re: E-Newsletter?

I haven't followed this thread entirely but it sounds interesting and promising and I'd like to contribute with an article about software for creating art. And if no one else wants to make art for the layout, I can help out with that as well, at least something basic to get the newsletter started. ...

Re: FFXIV Benchmark

Coincidentally my current card IS the 8600 (gts to be exact). So I will take your word for it. Browsing for a deal right now. Ha, awesome. I looked around online for days, and ended up just going to the Cambridgeside Galleria. The Best Buy there has a surprisingly nice selection for reasonable pric...

Re: FFXIV Benchmark

Cool. My rig is very similar except for the fact that your graphics card far outweighs mine. I will definitely be upgrading before launch, probably to a gtx270/280. Although I'm not entirely sure yet, will wait to see what the best deal is at the time. I highly recommend the 400 series. I got mine ...

Re: FFXIV Benchmark

Wow, yeah if you fail to complete a quest, you should be able to redo it, no question. I can't imagine why this wouldn't be the case. Glad I'm not just retarded on the markets. I'm a total gear whore, so I'm really itching to get different-looking armor, even if it's not necessarily better. Then aga...

Re: FFXIV Benchmark

So David Aames was indeed created last night. Played for about 3 hours, but I was just too tired at 1 am to continue. Some random thoughts: -The battle system is neat. I like that it's this middle ground between turn-based and action-based. I still think I would slightly prefer a menu (a la FFXI) th...

Re: The F#%KING INSANE cost of the war

The moral to many of the recent Current Events posts here is "subscribe to the Young Turks, alright, just fuckin' do it already".

Seriously, I've been watching them for over a year now, they're fucking awesome. And if you can spare the $10/month, membership is soooooo worth it.
