It's not about the quantity... it's about the quality.
Thank Mario it's finally over. Of course, if Dan had won all 10, then the seal would have been broken and Shao Kahn's minions would have been able to enter our realm from Outworld and wreak total havoc. Fortunately, Mario Party is a game of skill luck. We won through skill lucked out this time, Earthrealm, but we may not be so skillful lucky next time.
I tried replaying FFXII a while ago on my PS2 and man, the graphics were so muddy, I didn't realize how quickly I got accustomed to HD gaming. This is a welcome remake and just about the right amount of time has passed to make me nostalgic for XII. Loved the gambit system, loved the upgrade board, can't wait to delve back into this.
This is neat, but the only two greens they have are that neon green and a hideous looking military green... kind of a bummer. A custom controller for 80 bucks (90 if you want something written on it with laser etching) is not bad. Considering how rarely I actually look at my controller though, probably not worth it.
This is the fastest maximum clearance in history. 5 minutes 20 seconds. This is the level some can get to.
Note the control of the cue ball, it's crazy.
Any televised, competition 147 is a big deal, you win bonus money (it was often £147,000 just for a maximum clearance), but to do it in this time is insane.
Indeed, that was absolute magic.
That's awesome. The way he broke up that group of reds after pocketing the black...damn.
Truly amazing to watch... also, dude is rocking an Eidos vest. Weird sponsorship, but I guess they had to spend that Tomb Raider money somewhere.
@grezul: Thanks. It should be a good system if/when it works.
Gigabyte Geforce 980 ti Windfoce OC edition. Watercooled parts sound interesting, but I have a well ventilated enough case that it shouldn't be necessary... yet.
I agree it's shady... mostly I'm pissed about how much time it took. I sent them the thing at the beginning of March and they didn't get it back to me for 3 weeks. Might be my (partially) fault, not sure if I went through the process properly and accidentally requested a repair or something. In any case, that's a long damn time to wait in this day and age.
If you're wrong about the PSU, I believe you owe someone twenty bucks... :P
I don't know if it's Nvidia, but there are two different driver sets that I've been trying. The first is the one included with the disk and the other is the version available since March 8th.
And yeah, once I get it checked in another PC to see if it works in there, I'm going to become a big thorn in Gigabyte's side and make them send me a new one. If all that doesn't work, I'm finding someone local to look at the rig and see what's up.
I hope it doesn't remain sidelined forever, thanks again for the advice.
@gvillestein: I'm pretty sure it's not my HDMI cable, since it only does it when the computer is at higher resolutions and does it with every other HDMI cable I try. I have tried all three of the PCI express slots on the board with the same result each time. I'm pretty sure it's either the card itself (Btw, it has been the same card this whole time, not two of them as the BeastCast thought. RMA-ing sent it to Gigabyte's repair team who replaced the BIOS chips in the card and then sent it back to me...) or some issues with the software.
I think I am approaching the point where I will take Austin's advice and just have a professional look into it. I have a few friends who work in tech around here who might be able to do it for free, so I'm trying to coordinate schedules with them first. Thanks for the tips, I'll post something here if I get the thing working.
Do you have a list of what you're using in your rig?
Hi everyone, I'm 980ti Jeff (call me Jeff, for short). First off, thanks to Vinnie, Austin, Alex, and fellow Jeff Bakalar for reading my letter. I didn't intend to bum them out at the end of the show and was really just writing to see if my experience is out of the ordinary, but I appreciate the sympathy, guys. Thanks for making a damned good show every week.
My power supply is an EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 80+ Gold 750w.... man, they make these names long.
In any case here's my parts list...
Motherboard: Asus Z170-A CPU: Intel I5-6600k 3.50 GH RAM: Kingston Hyper FuryX DDR4 8GB X 2
Not sure if you need to know my hard drives, but running an SSD 250gb for my Windows 10 install and a 2TB Seagate for everything else.
This is Scott Manley accomplishing casually in less than 90 minutes what team B.E.A.S.T. will take 4 episodes to do and will fret about the entire time... probably stranding another couple Kerbals in the process.
