How is homeland, there is nothing on TV so I figured I'd check it out.

I added Showtime on Saturday and thats all I did all weekend, watched both season in 2 days, show is amazing. Season 2 is a bit over the top 24 style, but its still pretty fucking amazing. One of the best shows I've seen in a long time.

Gah. Tried Dark Souls for the computer, ran like shiiiiiit. Thankfully Amazon has people working on Christmas who don't give a fuck about digital refunds.

360 version on it's way.

I was just thinking that same thing, I didn't think Dark Souls actually had that high of requirements. I guess I never really looked at them though

It doesn't have high requirements, that's the baffling part for me.

I don't have a rig or anything. 2011 Mac mini running boot camp. Has an AMD integrated, which I'm assuming the AMD has some sort of issue with it. I've run much higher end games without any issue. I get the same choppiness in DS running at 1080, 720, or even 800x600.

Could try it on my older laptop...

did you do the dsfix/patch?

although that really shouldn't affect the framerate.... but you can unlock Free framerate giving you 60 fps. but if you can't even get it to run decently on default settings then i have no idea what the problem is

Didn't try the patch, thought the same as you. If it's giving me problems regardless of settings there has to be something else up.

Good game McNeily.

I should have kicked that last run outside, but it worked going inside with the way you played it on the last series, but my C got no movement.

Could tell what you were going to do on a couple of plays but I just couldn't hot route in time and it killed me for big gains. But I was ready in the redzone until the 4th down, I fucked that up and I got lucky. Wanted to base align and Gilmore got caught but in the right spot, wasn't even controlling a LB. Was just hoping someone made a play and they did.

Damn good game LJ. It's become so common that I give up the lead in the last minutes of the 4th. I can't believe I got the ball back on a fumble and then drove down the field like that! I wish I threw the ball a second earlier on that last play. He was wide open in the endzone. Oh well, 4 plays were given to me in goal line territory and I couldn't do it. I still had a lot of fun!

Now I have to play Pheenix in the last week to try and finish .500

I was trying to bait a throw on that long ball down the middle, but there was no reason to. You had nowhere else to go, you were going to chuck it deep, but I took one step to the right and I could never recover. RG's arm combined with the lack of speed by that particular DB, luckily I caught up and at least made the tackle.

The killer was the user pick with Bradham, wanted you to try and squeeze the ball, but that was rifle shot and I thought I had no shot at recovering it and then it felt like the ball just died and I caught up. Think if you lead it down the field with power I had no shot.

Underestimated RG's arm.
 
Ram can just play the CPU. I won't be able to consistently play again until after the New Year. (not that it matters with my awful, injury prone team)

In other words, someone just wake me when the draft time is being discussed. :jnc

Aarin Carroll will be waiting for you
 
Let's start thinking about draft times. Saturdays and Sundays will be tricky for me over the next few weeks since I'm moving out and will likely be busy all day one of those days

was awesome. fuck offffff

And yeah. At this point everyone will always be better than you in PC CS. You have more of a fighting chance playing with the control people.

Tropico 4 won the community vote, woo!

I'm assuming the draft is going to be on a Saturday like last time.

Worth a buy? I don't even know what the game is about but I'm into city building games (which this seems to be).

I'm upset I missed the Rayman Origins flash sale. Hopefully it comes back up.

I'm slowly getting addicted to Civ 5. That punk Atilla declared war on me while I was in the middle of sacking someone else. Had to regroup my units at my main city to defend. He sent a huge host my way but I repelled them all, but he still a lot of army units on the map. Don't know if I can overtake him right now!

Soka, what mods do you use?

Yeah, Tropico 4 seems to be really good. I won't get home for about another 4 to 5 hours but I plan on picking it up then! For the DLC, grab the Modern Times expansion and skip the rest.

Sorry. Been traveling all over the place for Christmas stuff. Can you play tomorrow? Middle of the day by chance?

I have work tomorrow and will be home around 4:30 pm PST. I only have a small window to play (latest I can start is probably 5:30) because I always have stuff going on Thursday nights. Don't think that fits your definition of middle of the day though. :\

I'll be home around the same time on Friday.

Edit: Just realized the advance is Friday 9:30 am, so can't do Friday.

That throwing stick stunt of yours has boomeranged on us.
Hey eznark I don't think I could make it through a madden game on this connection, their tv is as far away as possible from their router. Would you be available to play tomorrow night? I'll be at a different house with a better setup.

Yeah, but not Friday night and our game is too important to sim so you better not duck me again tomorrow!
