Morning Discussion
by Jeff "geedeck" Gondek, Jun 04, 2008 6:08am PDTAlright Shackers, let's rock out hump day the best we can.
So you like the Left4Dead? Want to know more? We did too, and packed Aaron off to Seattle where he got to know it's undead denizens better, look for that in the near future. Speaking of Valve, there's confirmation that the Pyro class in Team Fortress 2 will be the next revamped. Team Fortress 2 certainly has a zeitgeist around here, and to that I congratulate team Random Shackers for winning their bracket in the STA League. They beat the best three teams that Something Awful put forward you say? Well, shucks. Plus, we're looking to have a bit of fun with Ars community, let's see if the military might of Conde Nast is all that.

Dearest Evil One,
On this the first of seven days prior to your inevitable end... I offer you an additional consequence. An additional level of risk; a wager against your very identity...such as it is. I suggest an injection of personal risk into this upcoming battle.
Whichever one of us is on the losing side of this tech-news-site-related-gaming-community vs. tech-news-site-related-gaming-community donnybrook... must relinquish his alias and play under a psuedonym for a period of no-less than 30 contiguous days after our two families meet in the ring of honor.
Where does your confidence level float in the sea of ShackNews gamers? Are you prepared to stake your name... your identity? Your very soul on the capability and skill of your ilk?
I ask you, sir...
...are you game?
I await your response in this thread: http://www.arsclan.net/forum/showthread.php?t=23228&page=2
Hugs and kisses,
[Ars]Johnathan

I know most of you guys are Canon and Nikon peeps, the wife and I happen to be Pentax so i wont ask about specific models but... I've been curious about having a 50mm or so prime lens. It seems that most people rave about them and i'll admit the idea of having a lens that can open up to an aperture less than F2 would rock. I'm just worried that having a fixed lens wont be that much fun to use.
What do you guys think? Am i just being lazy by always wanting to zoom? If i get a 50 will i love it, or never use it?
Current Lens's:
f2.8 100mm macro
f3.5~4.5 10mm-17mm fish-eye
f3.5~5.6 18mm-250mm

Today is the last game of the season, which pits the Dallas Lampshades versus the Austin Cyber-Demons! The first time that Shack teams have played each other.
The game is in ~6 hours and unfortunately I won't be home for the 'live' trash talk. Should be a good game, we are fairly evenly matched.
It's almost time for the offseason (3-5 days) then season 3. Should be interesting if they have the new tactics available.

I was getting a constant 40+ fps in all areas including cities fior the first few days on max settings, view distances on max apart from one or two lowered a notch and x4 AA, x16 AF, everything enabled.
After a couple of days I was down to about 25fps in congested areas (Tortage) and occasionally dropped to 15fps. I was playing last night and suddenly I dropped to about 8fps. Ive tried many of the fixes out there and they do help for a short while but it seems that this game is gradually running worse and worse for me over time. How is everybody else faring?
Also, for AMD users, who actually uses the AMD dual core drivers? They cause my system to be really sluggish and seem kinda pointless from the description on the amd website. The dual core optimizer and hotfix have their uses, so I do use them.

So I want to install Vista as a secondary game OS. But I'm wondering whether I should go 64 bit. Are there any compatibility problems with games and common apps?

I put several hours in this game last night and beat a couple levels and it is just as awesome as expected. The puzzles are really fun and I am having a blast searching every little area for hidden secrets. I definitely reccomend that everyone with interest in the game checks it out because it is a ton of fun. In fact so far I like it more than Lego Star Wars.

My question to you - the shack - is: is it too early for this? Personally it still makes me break down when I think about the course of events that day, but at the same time I'm not highly offended.
