Fair enough. I have alternated for ages now. GTX570>HD4890>7900GT>9600XT>GF4 4200Ti, then it was Nvidias all the way to Voodoo1. Red time for me now. Not sure if I'm going to get a 7950/7970, or just wait for the new cards.

770 for dedicated PhysX?
Also, go Team Green!
Just don't upgrade to 320.18
I don't know if Skyrim had it, but every shitty Bethesda engine game before it had Nvidia issues at launch. I actually think my HD4890 was the most trouble free card I had. Either way, both sides have problems.

TEAM GREEN IS TEAM WINNING.
Ha the 770 and second SSD is for my gf's PC.
Never hurts waiting. I have also alternated all the way back to TNT2 I think, either that or my righteous 3D, I forget which came first.

Someone has offered to buy my current card in a few weeks. Makes waiting harder since that value will only drop! On the other hand, I haven't played a PC game in yonks. It always feels better to upgrade your video card when your partway through a game.

Holy crap if by being MP only Titanfall starts a new gen of arena shooters I will be eternally grateful.

Family Plan on Xbone was only ever going to be 60 minutes of gametime before it kicks you to the Storefront for the 10 people on your Family Plan list
Would have been fucking nuclear once that was widely publicised.
Means I won't buy it. I don't agree with the 'incomplete' or 'cut the price' shit though. If a game is good, it's good FFS.
Although I am more than tempted to dip my toe into MP gaming through f2p stuff like Warframe.

but but but but Gizmodo said "The Xbox One Just Got Way Worse, And It's Our Fault"!
It'd take longer to download the game than you'd get to play it. It's such a shame there isn't already a way to play a small amount of a game before deciding to buy it. Such a shame a thing has never existed on any platform currently released.

BU-BU-BUT STREAMING FROM THE CLOUD!
(not like the 'play while you download' service that Sony and Steam have/has I assure you! It uses the CLOUD!)

That would have been hilarious.
Spurs lost this in the last 28 seconds of game six.
An older team facing down LeBron et al in their own backyard at game 7 with all the expectations of the world behind them is an arduous task. Without a doubt, both sides left everything on the floor and once the Spurs had emptied themselves they started making mistakes.
A good series, but all the best moments were in game 1, 6 and 7. So many classic moments - Danny Greens revelatory 3-point shooting, Ray Allen's 3 at the end of regulation, Mike Miller hitting a 3 without a shoe, Bosh's block against, Manu playing like an energetic teenager in game 5, a headbandless LeBron making shots. Games 6 and 7 were their own highlight reels.
If it's any condolence to you, the Heat roster is $80,000,000, whereas today's Spurs would only cost you $60,000,000. More points to the dollar with San Antonio!
Dwyane Wade is done. Done. You know LBJ wants a triple to elevate his legacy to the level of MJ and Kobe but 2014 is gonna be tough for them with what I expect to be a weaker Heat roster.

Speaking of 2013-2014, I have no fucking idea what the Lakers are going to do. It's probably Nash's last season; Kobe might not be back straight away, and when he IS back, there's no way he's 100% and he still runs the risk of re-injuring himself; I love Pau Gasol but he might get traded and I don't trust D'Antoni to develop a system that makes smart use of two bigs; there's not much guarantee Dwight will re-sign and even if he does return he'll probably be as disappointing as he was last season; the bench will be JUNK, just plain junk (Meeks, Hill and Jameson had their moments but were far too inconsistent) and they'll probably get sweet fuck all after the draft and the following round of trading.
Fuck everything.
The Australian National University says it is seriously considering axing staff to deal with cuts to its budget.
Over the past month the ANU has been seeking suggestions from staff and students about how to respond to a budget hole of more than $50 million.
In its response to the hundreds of ideas put forward, the university has announced a number of potential savings that it will rule on in July.
In an announcement to students and staff on Friday, the ANU said staff salaries make up more than 50 per cent of its costs and is an area where considerable savings must be made.
The university says its professional workers now outnumber its academic staff.
It says the costs associated with that and its IT department far exceed those of comparable universities.
The university has also hinted there is room to increase the number of students and fees, raise parking fees, and move towards a self-insurance model for workers compensation.
It has also highlighted goals to reduce energy costs by 10 per cent.
But it has stopped short of any pay cut for its executive staff, labelling it as something that would be more symbolic than helpful.

Yup
That Allen 3 after the LeBron fail was the championship moment. That's when I said, "Yep. They are NBA champions. They have what it takes to be the best of the best. Just pure class.
Duncan was god damned amazing this series. He faded a lot though, his age is showing but his skills are still fantastic. Gives 110% at all times too. Parker faded at the wrong game this series too, just didn't have it in the tank for game 7. Manu was all over the place. I can't see a retirement though until he or Duncan has a bad run of injuries, although the bench have really showed their class this season and the Pop team might have some ideas of bleeding in. You can tell Pop has loved every minute dealing with these aging champions and keeping the team at the peak of the competition.
Heat bench impressed me this series too, handy as fuck. Especially with Wade playing so shit. LeBron is still LeBron, gets better and better every year
You would expect them to cotton wool the fuck out of Kobe right? Priority would be getting him 100%. Bench will get a clean out you expect?

Why? Find out why and fix it.
Then do what other uni's do. Find some contracts outside academia to make the big money.

You can cancel the automatic UC3 download and select to only install the part you require, ie: SP, 2D SP, 3D SP, MP, language packs etc.
If you're just after the SP, it's like 12GB only.

Thanks to rep and bern for the spoiler tags. Much appreciated, gentlemen. Just finished the game.
It's the first game I've seen this year (I've only watched the last game of the season for the past 3 years, I think) so it's an oddly detached reaction that I had to the result.

Yes, it happens from time to time, especially when there are multiple tabs open.

I noticed that the download was split into four bits - I've paused the three I don't want and will see whether that works

LEARNIN' IS FOR SOCIAL OUTCASTS!!! DOUBLE LEARNIN' IS DOUBLE NOT NATURAL YOU HEAR ME!!
When I saw ads for that show years ago I didn't think any of the girls were particularly attractive. They filled a stereotype of what beauty should look like without quite actually achieving it, much like the guys fell into a visual range of what a nerd should be but probably didn't fully embody their moniker, either.
No one want to challenge their pre/mis conceptions while watching the tele.

Beauties = women willing to wear bikinis on television.
For those of you even remotely interested in motorsports, Channel Ten are actually live-streaming the entire Le Mans 24hr this weekend online, for free!
Also, I think this is legit (as in, not one of those suspect key selling sites) but here's a deal for Blood Dragon for $3.60ish (uses uPlay rather than Steam or whatever, but it's cheap so fuck it).

I guess they had to call it beauty and the geek because channel 7 would have confused viewers if they called it The Moll.

I wouldn't feel comfortable linking to them on GAF since they have sold Russian keys in the past.
Head to the Buy/Sell/Trade thread for cheap games guys! Blood Dragon on uPlay codes have been bountiful at $3.
Some good 24 hour deals on GOG at the moment, like $5 Fez and Dyad, Back to the Future and Miasmata for $3.74, $3 Hotline Miami, FTL for $2.50
I picked up Omerta: City of Gangsters + all DLC for $10, and Zafehouse Diaries, from an Australian dev I believe, for $2.50
And be sure to buy Witcher 2 for $6 and then download the full combat rebalance mod!
no trading cards though
