Thankyou for telling us what form a particular media must take.
But my Grandma was born before you so I guess we are gonna be stuck with Old Time Musicals and Soap Operas.
Alternativley we could all enjoy a form of cinematic expression that we like the most.. or perish the thought.. we could enjoy a wide range of movies of different types depending on our mood.. (how else could i love "Clueless" & "Cube" both )
Where is this magical world where saving time on domestic chores (and thats all rebuilding a home pc really is) magically gets you more money???
I am paid for the time i am at work and that amount of time is written into a contract.. so even supposing i can save 3-4 hours a month on system maintenance, where is the extra money to buy a new pc gonna come from?
So FPS isnt just how it "looks" then?? its actually how the games handles?
I thought these things all had physics engines in them now, so it would just calculate the relevant equations..... ie, the distance "jumped" being equal to some calculation of angle and power.... (i dont really do physics.. im a web developer:oP.
so i would be right in assuming that the gfx card has alot more to do with the gameplay than simply putting images onto a screen? Or is it more of a case that you dont have the controlability (?) on lower fps systems?? i suck at fps games anyhow, so the diff is negligible to me, just trying to get a handle on this
okay, so i read howstuffworks.com. says that NTSC (okay i typed ntfs wrongly at first.. i live in a PAL country) displays 60 lines and updates these 30 times a second in 2 batches (interlacing?) then it says the human eye starts to string individual images into "motion" at 15 fps.. which still makes me say "if my tv can only update at 60 fps, and my eye can see images as a movie at 15.. why the fuck should the difference between 60 and 160 actually matter?" - after all i watch tv and the images flow smoothly.
Im not being contrary here, but if you can explain better how im worng, i would love to know.. its just your source (howstuffworks) hasnt clarified a thing for me beyond cementing what i already knew.. Maybe im just interpreting the info wrongly, but id be glad to hear more
if ya fancy potting the information into nice idiot sized chunks for me, I would be happy... truth be told i never quite understood all that framerate jazz.. just know that i can see no difference on my sys when running at 60fps or running at 160....
And im sure i was told at school that NTFS runs displays an "interlaced" 30fps to create the effectof 60....
I have noticed in gaming circles that "runs fine" can be twisted out of any reasonable interopretation.
For example, last january i took posession of an Athlon XP 2600 with 768 megs and put my old Ti4200 in it. Whilst tweaking the system i happened on a few groups. I reported on one of them howhappy i was with my 140fps on Counter Strike and was treated like a 2nd class gamer.. what bugged me about it is i actually work to earn my money to buy my tech whereas most of these jerk offs were just playing on mummy and daddys money..
Alos i beleive tv/cinema cycles at a "virtual" 60 fps.. so where the benefit in several hundred fps when gaming?
Dude, i like yer turn of phrase.... so much fresher than the "running around in darkened rooms listening to electronic music and eating magic pills" quote.....
Is it an original?? if so can i steal it shamelesly to impress da ladies with?
My Auntie from Philadelphia(sp?) came to visit our little village in the arse end of Lincolnshire (in England). On her first sunday there we went to church in the village and my Auntie found the need to proclaim... "England really lacks history you know, not like philly..."
My local church was built sometime in the 1600s and a short drive up the coast will take you to Boston harbour (one of the original pilgrim departure sights).
After all they have a big bell.. England only has the building it was made in.... (okay, i will purposely ignore the fact the damn thing was shit and it broke)
okay, hit me with them mod points....... I'm on the Karma elevator to hell and it's going DOWN

I would be interested in your research on this (links will do nicely).... i have smoked between 1 and 2 oz a week for the past 10 years, yet have never had cravings, or symptoms of addictioon when i have had to take a break (beit for holidays, work or just not being able to get any)
I may sleep a little bit more, but thats just coz i dont stay up for the late night joint or 2
Although True Crime borrows heavily from GTA for its basic game structure, there is one very plain difference: instead of an anonymous gangster, you play Nick Kan.....
even my drug addled brain can recall Tommy Vercetti.

Is there really anyone on the planet that doesn't have a "family geek"
Lord of the rings nerds are those who learned elvish and have drawn their own loarg scale middle earth maps..

It's a word mostly used by Americans usually.. so of course they sound like morons when they say it.
shit, they sound like morons when they say Good Morning, Hello, or Weapons of Mass Destruction
It wasnt, there is a previous one.. though i cant be bothered to find it.
Just an amusing, but totally offtopic tidbit...
