    Starcraft 2!!!

    lol, why would anyone play it through bootcamp? The cd has the installer for windows and os x on it. My friend picked it up for his mac last week and it runs fine. He was over at my house with it and we were playing with each other online, i was on my desktop and he was on his laptop. Too...

    Starcraft 2!!!

    Yeah, true. The game play and story line are great, and the graphics, I'm sure, can run a a lot more machines.

    Starcraft 2!!!

    I actually feel like the graphics are a bit dated in some places. In the cutscenes and between missions they look great. But I feel like the graphics during the missions almost look dated. Maybe its just the cartoony style they used. But the peoples faces remind me of Fallout 3 or Cysis...

    If you own Starcraft II

    I said this in the Starcraft 2!!! thread about load times for campaign vs melee, but its a lot more relevant here:

    Starcraft 2!!!

    Yeah, I guess it could, since they have to pre-load all the existing units, and the event scripts and everything, whereas for melee they just have to load up your opponent and his factory. How do you like it so far? Have you played online yet? Did you play SC1?

    Starcraft 2!!!

    I didn't see a Starcraft 2 thread yet. Discuss any strategy, tips, likes, dislikes, etc. I just got the game after work yesterday (the day it came out). It was a little funny, I didn't wait in lines for 2 days or go in at midnight or anything crazy like that. I just walked into Target...

    If you own Starcraft II

    Also, depending on the size of your HD and how fragmented it is can affect it as well. I have a 1 TB HD with like 8 gb's free and even though my disk isn't fragmented it still takes a while because my disk is huge, and maybe a little slow, I'm not sure. But I often have longer load times than...

    DirectX 12

    Great response, thanks. Its not just for the performance, but DX11 as well. But I know what you mean. Even if I'm doing it for DX 11 its still not worth it just for a slightly better card, might as well wait a while and get my moneys worth. And just for random fun, on that website I linked...

    What Console Should I Get Flowchart, Funny

    There's actually a free mod on steam for Golden Eye. Its sweet. Its only the multiplayer component, but its all the original weapons, characters, and levels, but in the source engine with much better graphics. Its a lot of fun.

    DirectX 12

    Well, is there data out that shows otherwise? Why do you prefer that card when so many others don't? That's good. I'm just worried/wondering if those two cards will outperform my 4890 or not. Do you guys know if it will, or can you point me in the direction of any data that has those...

    DirectX 12

    lol, I was thinking that too, but I don't work there so I don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me if Microsoft had consultants and/or sales people working in those stores, depending on how many windows pc's that branch sells, it could be a worthwhile investment. But I have no idea.

    DirectX 12

    Thats cool, but my question is more about whether or not I should invest in a new GPU or hold off, and if you guys have any suggestions for a GPU. Anyways, until there is an official statement from Microsoft you cant fully trust either source, they're both based off of speculation. You just...

    What are you currently playing?

    Ahh, lol, I would really like to get Star Craft 2, but I just bought Arma 2 Operation Arrowhead, and am playing around with installing mods. I've also been playing Alien Swarm now and then, its pretty fun and free on Steam. I think I want to enjoy Arma for a little while more and read some...

    What Console Should I Get Flowchart, Funny

    lol, I agree, but it does kind of touch on the stereotypical focuses of those consoles. A lot of Wii exclusives are great for playing in person with your friends. A lot of XBox exclusives have really intense online multiplayer games. And, I've never owned a PS, but it seems like their...

    DirectX 12

    According to windows8news.com windows 8 is expected to come out at the end of next year or the beginning of 2012, so more like 1-2 years.

    DirectX 12

    Thanks a lot for your answer, where are you getting your information from? I've tried googling about it and haven't been able to find a whole lot. What do you think about the new Nvidia 460 that came out this month? I haven't really heard a whole lot about GPU development lately, is there...

    Direct X vs OpenGL

    Thanks, thats a pretty decent read. Does anyone have any idea if one is easier to learn and work with than the other, compatibility aside? Right now I just want to start learning and working with one to have some fun and try to make some games. Really more of a learning experience than...
