Better to delay a game and make it better than released it unfinished. Imagine what Skyrim would have been like if they worked on it an extra 6 months...

[Thor.]

You got that right, more kudos for Ubisoft for not pushing it out the door.

Sad news to here Watch Dogs and the Crew was delayed until 2014 spring, dang thats a long wait.

 

I wish they'd done that with Splinter Cell-it's a superb game but very buggy.

[Thor.]

Well we'll just gotta wait then.

 

Things coming out before watch dogs and the crew.

 

ps4

Battlefield 4 fro ps4, not getting it for pc and that origin crap and ps3 ot willing to get it this, lack of aa.

Metal gear maybe.

would have bought a gtx780 by then, and maybe sli'ed it.

Off topic, skyrim has been fixed when it comes to microstuttering, i was messing around with the enb memory management and what you know, i managed tot balance it out. Skyrim in itself has one big memory leak and causes microstuttering big time. It seems to have sorted itself out for now.

I'm just going to eat a lot of Taco Bell and hope I win a PS4. lol

Just kidding by the way. I don't really like that food much.

[Thor.]

Already paid it up in full.

I have a theory why the micro stuttering happens, simple enough bad code. In terms its not he video cards fault when it happens, its just the game has one massive flaw, which is its memory management by default, without the enb skyrim would have been all over the place. Especially with big texture mods, it might be crap driver support which also could be root cause but that's no excuse for such lag.

 

Still getting the gtx780 though fps is impressive that it won me over with its single card awesomeness.

 

Originally from the ghost enb, but i tweaked it out from my previous enb's to suit my taste, including the shaders.

 

The memory fixes came from the ghost enb which was using the latest enb and sweetfx versions. turned out quite nice with dof turned off, i hate, hate dof. Endorsed it :thumbsup:

I think today might be my lucky day. Not only did I have one of those rare work days that was fun enough not to feel like work, but I got another league invite on STEAM as well. I might actually have to consider this-I've had three leagues invite me in the past two months, all for driving games, the last letter was... really rather flattering. I was offered a waived entry fee to join their national junior-league season next year, and drive for a pretty decent team, with the potential for a drive in the main game the next season depending on results.

 

Work was fun because, every so often someone brings in a car to work on that's either cool, historically interesting, or just plain rare. Today's patient was all three-a nicely modified 1971 AMC Javelin AMX. Not especially rare or precious in the US mind you, but in Australia hardly anyone has even heard of AMC, and Javelins are extremely rare. I don't know whether they were a particularly good car relative to other pony cars of the era, but it was a nice looking thing, well balanced, and this one had a huge aftermarket MOPAR 440 hemi putting out a frankly ludicrous amount of horsepower. I was tasked with parking the thing after it'd been serviced, and was easily able to get it to 60 KPH in first gear.

My dream car would be the ford gt, if properly modified could out run a Veyron.

That's no joke, it has almost 1100hp when fully modified. Very rare car indeed. In reality there is a car faster then the Veyron.

Whoever posts after me will have post #48000 :ohmy:

[Vindekarr]

Ding, 48,000! Only 352,000 to go!

 

And I agree about the GT-40, Thor.

 

Over the years a lot of people have tried to make sports cars, and most of them succeeded-creating a fast car. But we don't remember many of them. And there's a reason for that. See, most sports cars fall into two groups, head and heart. Most of them fall into the head catergory-cars like the Audi R-8 and Bugatti Veyron. They're designed by scientists, most go like bats out of hell, and on paper, they're really quite clever. But nobody remembers them, because as pretty as the numbers are, they don't... effect you in any way. You would walk past one and not even really notice it-you certainly wouldn't look twice. There's also a more rarified set which are achingly gorgeous-Aston martin personifies this type, but are based on such outdated technology that they can't justify the price. And so in the end a lot of them are just forgotten. I mean, have you ever heard of an Aston-Martin V-8S? or a Ligier JS2? I didn't think so.

 

But for every hundred "average" sports cars, one comes along which is special. They're the cars which grab you with looks then flaw you with stats-they're head and heart all at once, and they're the ones which get remembered-cars like the Lamborghini Miura, Ford GT-40, and Pagani Zonda. People with no interest in cars stop and stare at them-they're truly special, and they're special because even if you aren't interested in cars, you can still appreciate the styling, the effort that went into making them.

 

My dream car? The Pagani Zonda(below) or Huayra. Both strike me as cars that we'll remember in 50 years time. They're not just fast cars, they're exquisitely detailed, blisteringly quick, and every single one ever made has been a one-off tailored to it's owner's specifications.

 

If you're wondering what's up with the stripey paint-that isn't paint, that's the unpainted structure of the car-woven strands of Carbon Fibre and Titanium, layered over with crushed industrial diamond for strength then set in resin. It's the lightest structural composite that isn't classified, and the main reason why a new Zonda costs over $2,000,000.
