Morning Discussion
by Xav de Matos, Nov 03, 2010 5:00am PDTThe battle between Schwarzenegger and the EMA/ESA kicked off yesterday. According to some reports, the pendulum is not swinging in either notable direction. Some judges appear to favor California state's position, others don't, and some aren't showing their cards just yet.
It's going to be a long process and we plan to follow it all very closely.

I was in such a rush to start playing SC2 single player when it came out that I ignored the warning messages and just typed in my first name. I've been Thomas online ever since. I usually go with either Alteredfrenzy or Frenziedbadger. I'm seriously considering changing to one of the two, but the whole "you must pay us to ever change your name again" crap makes me hesitate.

Trying to decide which system to buy multi-plats for. I really enjoy the trophy system (more so than achievements) but xbox live leaves something to be desired with the ps3. The convenience of talking to friends when single player'ing it up is really nice.
Note: Not trying to start any fan boy crap, just honestly trying to make a decision.

I can't take these FPS drops anymore!
Having fiddled with alternative dlls and other things on Nexus, conclusion is I need a new CPU. I think it is bottlenecking my Mojave mojo. My GFX is nowhere near maxed out (in settings or load).
CPU: E5300 OC @ 3.46G
GFX: ATI 4850, aftermarker cooler
Win7 64bit, 2gig mem (tried borrowing an extra 2, made 0 difference to FNV)
So advice me up please Shackers! Should I get like a Q9400 or sommat? I want it to be silky and post excitedly on the FNV threads..

The main reason I wanted to make this post is that it dawned on me why this release of the Kinect is so EPIC. No not the device its self(well you never know LOL) now all three companies have motion control.
What does this mean for gamers? This is the most massive thing out of these mental motion control device(yes I prefer game pads), yes some of them are cool no doubt about it they have a place that is for sure.
It has dawned on me we are almost guaranteed(well I would not bet on it but almost) a pimp Nintendo system next round that has pimp graphics. This sort of equilibrium made basically sets a standard and now you would think the next systems from all three will contain a 1080p standard and better graphics than the 360 and ps3 on all three fronts.
I could be totally wrong but it would appear that the next systems would have to focus on power and graphics(key hardware wise) since we have everything else. To me if this is true the next round of system could be potentiality the most insane we have ever scene.
Good times I hope so \m/
What do you guys think is this massive, or will think of something else?

In san jose for the day and am gonna go get dinner.
Anyone want to go grab some last minute asian food?
It's my birthday and I'll be eating alone because II have no friends I'm traveling for work.
Anyone interested for either pho or korean in the san jose area? I'd be willing to drive up to san mateo for sushi too.
I'm driving through a dead zone, so I'll check back in a half hour or so.

Hi! I need some help deciding how to paint a mini for an upcoming D&D 4E Dark Sun campaign. Here's the mini:
http://www.reapermini.com/FigureFinder#detail/02585
The character concept is an elf Ranger who has an archery combat style, and is a wasteland nomad. Think kind of like the Fremen in Dune, but with pointy ears and a bow.
So, I need to find some good paints with which to paint him. I'm open to buying any brand's paint as long as its acrylic (this is why I said Warhammer menz up there, too). I guess I just need help with finding a good palette of shades to use to get a weathered, desert feel.

Kotaku has a new article up looking at the game localization process with 8-4 ltd (who I fucking love the work of) and it's bad ass:
http://kotaku.com/5679474/the-surprising-ways-japanese-games-are-changed-for-americans
Their work on it was a major reason why I picked up Nier; normally I avoid cavia titles, but I'll give anything a shot that 8-4 works on. They totally got my total, undying love with the work they did on Baten Kaitos Origins and it makes me wish that they had more control over the entire localization process more often :(
So gay for them.
