If I were buying 40 copies in bulk I'd be happy to charge less Until then I can only get these prices

Is your supplier getting them from the 4 packs? The price is much cheaper from those (about $5.30 each in a Russian store pack). For $11 I could spend a quarter more and get in on a 4 pack without a middle man.
No offense. I'm sure dealing with everyone is a pain in the ass.

 

[Caerith]

I think the 'black market' just stay black for a reason. Not like I have a say on what happens in the thread, and I get that we all wanna let everyone know the cheaper deals, but im kinda tired of putting that out there constantly lately and talking about keys and refs and shit everytime a new game shows up and people cursing when they miss saving 2 bucks on pacman or something

just my two refs

Seriously, the tantrums a few pages ago were embarrassing.

 

[JBourne]

My computer, imagine I can grab any soundcard? As Jbourne said though just a bit confused as to what to get.

Edit: Will ask in the pc thread.

I'm using the same GPU, processor, PSU, amount of Corsair ram, and a very similar mobo. Neat.

Good point, he normally goes on a game to game basis, might see if I can get him to buy a 4 pack, depends if anyone else is buying skullgirls, if I only have a few people its not worth it. Also won't he be stuck with a copy?

Big, BIG motherfucking shout out to Lain for giving me the hookup for KOFXIII. You are one big, beautiful man I would go gay for, lol.

I jelly. Congrats!

Get an i7 instead of the i5 if you can.

I built this last October, far too late for that

Curious, whats with the blu ray burner? Do you use it? I was thinking of getting one but they are so expensive and blu rays cost so much I decided I would be better buying the few movies I want

I sometimes back up various files and music to blu-rays for safekeeping. 50 GBs is a decent chunk of storage for the price. I tend to actually view the blu-ray films I purchase either on my PS3 or Oppo if region B. PC blu-ray playing software is alright but I don't like to pay for Powerdvd. Ripping blu-rays with makemv does have a drop in quality as well, need to find better software. Burners/writers are very specific in their usage, most are fine just getting a blu-ray reader.

Stalker! I'm considering getting another stick of ram just in case, with some games I do get a bit closer to 100% usage than I'd like.

Alright, time to start giving shit away.

Well, it's ok, your i5 is one of the nicer ones, i7 would be better, but your i5 will be good enough for a while.

I'd recommend anyone thinking of an intel based PC to wait until september. Ivy Bridge E will be released and the 4820k is going to be cheaper then a 3770k/4770k and will use Sandy Bridges solder vs Ivy Bridge/Haswell's TIM which caused higher temps. You won't ge sandy bridge temps due to the chip being smaller but it will be closer rather then further

I wanted to grab an i7 but I built the computer with extra inheritance from my great grandmother(rest her soul!) so I had to be tight in some areas.

Alright, time to start giving shit away.

Why have you forsaken me Dunder!

Nice raffle. Good luck everyone!

 

[Sober]

It shouldn't take too long if you stick purely to the story. Maybe 15-18 hours. If you pace it out to doing maybe a memory sequence a day it should go very smoothly.

I hate how they gave you the DLC sequences but pretty much make you play it in order so it kinda ruins the pacing.

Something went down today so I bet there will be a huge rush of new items all at once or something. Also I am pretty sure I saw it yesterday or today in mine.

Have at it! More where this came from tomorrow.

Thanks, entered for Toki Tori!

[Grief.exe]

Yeah, I'd say you need a separate card PCI(E) card.
That looks like some sort of equalizer thingy.
Staying below 100$ is going to be interesting.

Staying below $100 for sound card is quite easy actually.

A DAC is a DAC, you don't typically see higher quality audio out of a more expensive one. You are typically paying for features.

Grab an Asus for around $25-$50.

man my first time out and i already fucked it up

apologies in advance to whoever wins superbrothers for the obvious evidence of my inability to read and follow directions that will be contained within

Edit: Will ask in the pc thread.

You better grab another stick of ram, you want to be dual chanel for your processor. The reason you are seeing 100% usage is not because you are running out of RAM, it is because you are hitting bottlenecks imposed by your processor and motherboard.

Who told you to grab only one stick?

 

[Khronico]

Much thanks =D

Edit: Sweet, I won Sword & Sworcery! Thanks charlequin!

Who told you to grab only one stick?

No one did, I just only bought one stick when I built the computer last year. Was trying to save some money and figured it could wait.

And I don't know, I meant rarely. I'm talking about when I alt tab out of Crysis 3 and start browsing the web while listening to a song. I've never actually hit 100%, when I said closer than I'd like I meant like 80ish percent. I of course close those things before hopping back into the game. Don't know how much Ram Crysis and other games of its ilk which recommend 8 GBs actually use in-game, haven't bothered looking at graphs. Of course when you alt tab out you aren't using as much as it does when in-game.

Just finished watching Breaking Bad.

Was thinking "man, Steam really needs to get in on this".

Honestly, it's mind-boggling that Valve didn't do it three years ago.

I have both an Asus sound card and a DAC in my Amazon cart. Can't decide which one I want to go with.


The main thing I want is proper surround sound. I was playing Far Cry 3 last night and had a lot of trouble telling where various growls were coming from. Getting bitten by dogs over and over is frustrating.

True. I was just glancing at amazon prices and they were all 100$+
I'm pretty sure I paid less back then. Not much less, but still...

Sweet, I've had my eye on that for a while. I'll put it in my old school category to play with my arcade stick.

Played some of Toki Tori, finished the Forest and it's an interesting puzzle game. I like the rewind ability, makes concentrating on the solution to the level more focused.

Asus sound card and a DAC are essentially the same thing. You might know that, just clarifying.

You will get good sound sound from the Asus Sound Card.

I haven't played Far Cry 3, but it could be the game causing the issue. I know with Bioshock Infinite, sounds were just 2 channel.
Sorround Sound was useless in that game.
