2006 was better

Heh, there are still 364 days left of 2007.
I personally look foward to 2010, that number looks so scifi.

2010 is also when the splinter cell movie is supposed to come out...if it doesnt get cancelled...its already been delayed significantly...but heres hoping

as far as best years 1999 was the best all that panic over y2k...and all i did was sit at the comp playing games just waiting to yell "i told you so"

Naa...2006 was a terrible year for me (except for a couple of highlights), so I'm sure 2007 will be better...besides its a "007" year

The world is supposed to end on Dec. 20 or 21, 2012 according to the Mayan calendar, but it will probably be more like 2030-40. I'm really looking forward to that!



Ditto. And 2007 will probably suck even worse. Bleh! Well, at least it should be a good year for gaming, and there's always fire water...

The world has ended many times according to all sorts of religions, and we are still alive. So I don't worry too much.

And i bet those highlights include RS!

Thats one thing I never got, why would someone say happy new year when they didn't even get a chance to try it out?

2006 was a crap year.. (besides our forums, members, BW, and sponsored weapons) other than that, the year sucked..

i think 2k7 will be better..

Yep; 2007 is gonna rock; BioShock, (hopefully) Crysis, HalfLife 2 Ep2, the R600 graphics card from ATi.

Will pay money to beta test 2012.

Heh heh... good idea.

And Unreal Tournament 2007!

Yeah don't forget UT2007 Or Gears Of War... or is it out already? xD

Anyways, for the new stuff coming in 2007, you need a new PC.

You know, I bet you could easily play UT2007 with a PC that is older. You just set the settings to what you did for UT2004, and it will probably work. I mean, it's not like the graphics are going to really kill your compy... well, this only works if you have your settings not maxed out like me.

Yep, I don't max my settings. Too weak a compy, but she gets my stuff done still the same way.

Yep, stupid stupid new PC.

Let's put it this way; if you don't get more than 100 FPS average on max settings in UT2004, it means you won't be able to get playable framerates on medium/high settings in UT2007.

not even low Bjossi.

Uh-huh. I will still play UT2k7 with my normal settings since I turn off only the ones that my computer just doesn't have (tri-linear filtering? phfft, no need!). For example, if a game used some physics card for one thing, then I wouldn't use it since I don't have a physics card. That example may not make much sense, but I know my compy could take UT2k7, just not max graphics obviously.

I don't do max graphics on UT2k4 for a reason other than FPS. It's so I can run 2 at the same time without blowing my computer up from all the heat it genereates. one for myself and another for where I play with my bro, and when I get a time when he pauses that server, I just go to my Instant Action one.

OCA, you obviously know very little about the way a computer renders a game. What are your computer specs?

And UglyPants, you might be exaggerating the requirements there...

a well, i'm getting a new PC soon, so whatever, and NO Bjossi, its not going to be made at home by me, unless that counts for building it on a website like Dell or Alienware.

BTW anyone know of any good gaming desktops that aren't super expensive for Canadians.

The best ones for the price are the home made ones.

Yup, when I upgraded, the parts costed me $1500.
A while ago I saw a pre-built computer advertised with slightly less powerful hardware, for over $2500...

So you would spare quite a bit.

yeah but i suck and don't have any know how to make a home made one myself. Though i could buy all the parts and get some store to make it. But even that i'm sure you wouldn't approve of Bjossi.

...i have to have mine built...im never getting a desktop again...lappys only, im on the move too much for a desktop

we always buy the hardware seperate, then assemble ourselves..

Thats what I did. Came out to a price of $390, including labor. Of course its outdated now, but it was almost top of the line a couple years ago.

Why not? That sounds like a good plan if you don't know how to set it up yourself, just choose a store with a rep.

well their is a really reliable computer store near us in a mall, so this could be done.

But where would be a good place to buy the parts from. I'm going to start a new thread for this soon. Not today, but soon.

Do that in a bigger forum, I'd be one of the few who are able to help you, and I don't have a clue where you can buy the stuff unless Canadians can buy from Newegg.
