The only must have thing is an SSD because holy poo poo does that make day to day use of a computer so much better. Thanks Eng, I got my brother in law doing all my leg work so I should be getting a good setup. I may be interested in your 570 to throw in my old PC and give to my dad. I'll pm when that time comes

Commodotized bandwidth is the dumbest thing ever. I hate ISPs. e: Although if the bandwidth cap is a serious issue, consider upgrading to a business line. Depending on the ISP, they generally aren't much more expensive at the low end and come without restrictions. psydude fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Mar 10, 2013 |

Well I had unlimited bandwidth but they removed that feature 3~ years ago. Last month they put out a new feature. Unlimited bandwidth!... for $30 a month. I wasnt impressed.

Because they can. And you will pay it or go without internet. So you will pay it. Edit: Or switch to dialup. So you will pay it.

Yo if you guys want a laugh, here's someone gooning in the Sim City thread about how the entire game is a politically motivated Randian wet dream.

 unless there's more after that post, I don't see it. "Job creators" is a specific politically weighted catchphrase, crafted by Frank Lund. The dude isn't ranting by pointing that out.Hell that oswald whatever dude that's goading him seems more childish than anyone. Simcity has always been fairly politically neutral (although I guess libertarian/Tea Party types that disagree with any level of government involvement past basic services is wrong would disagree). Hell, Civilization was more controversial than SimCity was. GD_American fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Mar 11, 2013 |

Nuke power advocates get all kinds of  in real life with Will Wright over it.I think attacking the developers for whatever ideological viewpoint they're ascribing to them is dumb. A lot of these are just gameplay decisions.

My dad works in planning. If Sim City were anything like actually planning a real city, nobody except the spergiest of spergs would loving play it because it'd be tedious as poo poo.

That was pretty much soft core porn with the story line being girls who will let you be creepy to them for presents. Buy me a gift and you can take a close up of my tits!

Sold my battle.net account for 200 bucks, including SC2. Don't really care, but playing the campaign in SC2 was fun, at least.

It was? I'm pretty sure I moved on less than halfway through. Edit: Now that I think about it, their lovely DRM was probably a big part of the reason I stopped playing, but I remember not being all that upset I couldnt play after I had a couple of hours into it.

Age of Empires 3 wasn't nearly as good, but watching the artillery destroy buildings and ships was so awesome due to the physics engine.
