I remember you offering those up a while ago. If you don't mind me asking how much did you end up getting?

More importantly why don't you just get a single 680 or something?

I got $200 per card, so it means that my first 670 is a $0 purchase.

And I didn't get a 680 as the 670 is only about 2-3fps slower than a 680 across the board. At the moment the 680 is pretty much a useless card, really strange of NVIDIA to put out the 670.

2x 670 in SLI will almost give me the performance of a 690!

 

[markot]

And no games to take advantage of it!

Well that makes sense. Just looked at 690 pricing. Fuck that off.

SydGAF. It's board game time again...

I've been a bit busy to post much and probably will continue to be until this weekend, but shall we confirm our next date? I could potentially do this Sunday the 19th, but Saturday the 25th might be the better choice.

Are we all available? Will Choc actually set an alarm this time? Is Winter coming?

And is anybody else available to do a full meetup this time?

 

[markot]

Winter is going actually.

 

[shanshan310]

Winter is going actually.

yar. Its meant to be 27 degrees on friday! (Brisbane)

Ptchah.

And no games to take advantage of it!

There are plenty of PC games like The Witcher 2, Metro 2033, Battlefield 3 and Crysis 2 (currently playing atm) that will destroy most PC hardware when you run them at 2560x1600 with everything turned up to 11.

If you max out Metro 2033 in DX11 mode, you need Triple SLI to get 60 fps =P

 

[markot]

Maybe its bad coding!

 

[jambo]

Maybe its bad coding!

Nah, it's just the DX11 Depth of Field and Tessellation effects coupled with the high res textures and complex lighting system require a beefy system. It's also rendering twice as many pixels as 1080P.

 

[Jintor]

Can't make this one, too much to handle!

So, any guesses for what common household implement resulted in 7 stitches in my scalp this afternoon. I had blood everywhere, apparently bone showing according to the medics, and generally felt rubbish.

Any guesses at all?

All wrong.

 

[Cohsae]

You're supposed to plug it into the wall, not your brain.

 

[Dead Man]

You're supposed to plug it into the wall, not your brain.

Yeah, that's what they said at the hospital. I'll know better next time. Actually though, just tripped and cuaght most of the force of the fall on the corner of it, on the top of my head. Ugly jagged laceration too, looks ridiculous.

Double adapters are known fire hazards. Power boards are the safer option, which you just proved correct in more ways than one.

Also, were you wearing a Star Wars t-shirt?

SydGAF. It's board game time again...

I'm finding it harder and harder to justify a 3 hour round trip for only a little more time spent gaming.

LOL, well spotted. Threadless.

Decent injury. Been a while since I had a nasty cut. I'm kind of due, I guess.

Decent effort. Though you'll have to think of a more "manly" story.

 

[markot]

Did you fall on your face or ass?

 

[bodyboarder]

Anyone got a spare counter strike global offensive beta key they would like to give me?

 

[reptilescorpio]

Whelp, I'm going to fail this assignment aren't I.

Yep. What I really need to do is fix my cabling which prompted the trip in the first place.

 

[midonnay]

goddamn..... dead man indeed

 

[Omikron]

Nice work dead man, beats my facial laceration due to curling.

 

[markot]

I bought some cheapish shoes and they broke immediately after I threw away the reciept!

Yay.

>.< Not like super cheap but at DFO

 

[FallbackPants]

Jesus dude that's intense. Nasty looking gash.

I've just started watching breaking bad. Fuck it's good. Although watching it is just delaying me watching the final few episodes of the Sopranos. There's too much awesome Tv is the moral of the story.

 

[ClivePwned]

Go and watch the gruen sweat ad for the olympics in Hobart. Oh jeez!

 

[shanshan310]

Ouch :s

I dunno about breaking bad. Its really addictive, but I get very stressed out watching it. Its not particularly a pleasant viewing experience, y'know?

Holy shit! But some 3M cable holders to go around door frames, window sills, architraves and/or corners!

I liked breaking bad better then the sopranos. It was good but breaking bad is in another league

So good.

Really. Do their actions bother you that much?

I agree, its too much sometimes >.< but only cause its so damn good.

yikes @ cut D:

super tense breaking bad is the bestest!

 

[Rezbit]

LOL that's awesome!

 

[Lafiel]

Breaking bad isn't that stressing to watch because of the dark humour.

 

[shanshan310]

Really. Do their actions bother you that much?

yes :s It was the wanting to see things get better and alleviate my stress that kept me watching. But things never got better did they?!

 

[r1chard]

OMFG I've finally finished the main story quest in Skyrim - after 275 hours of game time over four quite different characters who got to varying levels. I've still got several of the side ("guild") quest lines to finish and then there's the 1/4 or so of the map I've still not explored.

Is such a thing even possible?

You haven't watched much TV iirc? you should watch Friday Night Lights, unlike Breaking Bad things don't get worse in that series, they get better!

Nice man. We were just talking about it in Steam chat. I'm up to 90 something hours and I've only done about a third of the main quest with 1 character and hardly any of the large side quests. Loving just wandering around.

 

[bodyboarder]

I watch for the complete opposite. Hoping everything crash and burns.

That's a lot of game time.

 

[Jintor]

Adventure Time is pleasantly bizarre. It's kind of like strawberry ice cream. Man, I want strawberry ice cream.

 

[Deeku]

With or without strawberry bits?

 

[Danoss]

Adventure Time is pleasantly bizarre. It's kind of like strawberry ice cream. Man, I want strawberry ice cream.

When it was pointed out that it is quite Lovecraftian in nature (Jake is essentially a Shoggoth for one), I was stunned how true that was, and that I hadn't noticed earlier. Something happened in Season 3 that made me think "Lovecraft" immediately.

It's innocent and mature, and funny and serious, and a host of other things all at the same time. I'm glad I'm the age I am, watching it for the first time, to truly appreciate it for what it is.

Also, John DiMaggio is awesome.

 

[markot]

Pfft, spongebob poos all over it.

 

[Jintor]

Spongebob is terrible.

Well it's quite smart but I hate it for reasons.
