@Dimbark, watch videos. Zombies are massively improved. They can clip through most things at the moment, but their pathfinding is so much better. Also, I'm a sucker for customisation and although it's currently limited to skin colour, shirt colour and shoes at the start, you can wear whatever you find when playing. Earlier I was running around with sunglasses under one of the PAYDAY masks under an army helmet. Then a zombie smashed them all off my face.
@Tetsu0, it is a bit good. Second session was on a different server but you rejoin in the place where you logged out regardless. I was going through cars, searching for stuff on the seats when I realised a player was going through my backpack. Span around and cocked my rifle, but he was unarmed and did a runner. Would have shot him if I wasn't bluffing with the gun. Bloody thing was empty.

The amount of gold you MAY be able to recover from that may be a bit, but still good.. I know this guy who got around 1-1.5K $ from selling the gold recovered and cleaned from these electronics.

Take that back, it's a crappy "zotac" 450 gts Eco 1Gb... I think 2 gb would end up doing me better; getting lagged here and there and know this system has WAY MORE POTENTIAL.

Dude! CT!
If you do have or plan on getting a new GFX card, PLEASE let me know! I'm stuck with a NVidia GTX 450 and could REALLY do with a new one!! Used or not...
I know there are tonnes on the net, but just, like... Lemme know.. If you decide not to sack it off.. Archie beat me to it and sacked his off before I could grab it...
(Can talk more on PM, trying not to flood your post. )

If money is tight, I'd suggest an older high end card.
Nvidia 8800GTX, 9800GX2, GTX 260\GTX 295. All of those are solid cards, but the 8800gtx is the lowest end of the selection, and really only if you're truly hurting for money.

I only noticed after i bought it what a low-end gfx card it comes with(i understand the distinction of Nvidia model numbers now), but hopefully with the other specs i should have a major performance increase from what i'm using now =)

An impulse buy is okay so long as you realize it's an impulse buy. I initially thought a x30 card would be complete shit, but a second look on youtube shows it's actually a pretty solid card for gaming. Easily enough to hold you over until you upgrade to a faster card.

too paranoid to say that this happens on a daily basis but people having zero control over their smartphones, even if it's off you don't know what's happening inside and with today's unlimited amount of processing power and storage, this fucked up system is capable of obtaining pretty much anything and everything about an ordinary person

Stu: Sorry, it's the book by Daniel Suarez, which should have been every result on page i linked to.
It's a techno-horror about microsoft/google-type company's basically sentient program, that has access to military weapons like predator drones, and many other nasty things =)
If you haven't read it you should pick it up right now. (Big thanks to Tetsu0 for recommending it!)

It does. Not in big cities and in places like malls, but it does. There are stupid people who choose not to protect their privacy by spamming tweets wherever they go.

People will talk about a morality engine. Perhaps only then we can begin to worry. Until then, I can only hope that "privacy" will still exist in the future.

The year is 2199. We've been fighting for decades, there are not many of us left. There are fields of bodies, and mountains of skulls. No matter how many we kill, they keep coming. We are the humans, and they are the googles.

I don't know what to think about Google acquiring Boston Dynamics. Ignoring any ethical considerations (positive or negative) of having military robots, I've always liked the company for their innovation and furthering of robotics. Google is a very famous innovator, so that is a plus, but then again DARPA is known for funding really ridiculous things sometimes, which was good for innovation. I'm not sure which company would be a better company in that regard.
I'm just hoping really that I can get an Asimov style robot butler before I die of old age, and Boston Dynamics seemed like it was one of the best companies in that regard. Robots were beginning to look much more realistic than flying cars and jetpacks.
I'll see what I can do about the performance. Thanks. Just what I needed.
Agreed on the boring part. Been a Hammerer (can we make this a term?) since 04-05 now, but the whole detailed environment still hasn't gotten through to me.
Map looks pretty good, wpoly count of 4-5k is a bit high for TS + Multiplayer. The Map Layout is okay but since the map is mirrored mostly its a bit boring add in some eyecatchers/effects/broken walls ?
nah bro it wasn't meant to be flashy, it was meant to be dumb it was meant to be the exact opposite of everyones "oh wow look how good mine looks, look at my polygons and stuff" haha, so i designed it that way

personally I enjoy windows 8. I haven't used the app store once in the year and a bit I've had this computer. it also took me just under a year to figure out that you could turn off the computer by putting your cursor in the corner, rather than having to sign out of your account, and shutting the computer down from the lock screen.
8's pretty fast and seems to boot up ridiculously quickly, doesn't bring up many errors and therefore a pretty good OS imo
The guy stealing from your bag? Gun without ammo?
FAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! This is priceless! HAHAHAHHAHAHA!
But this sounds like a massive improvement, I really want to get this, now.
It's like Skyrim with guns!

Also, they'll have a hard time in space.
I bet they'll try sequencing the DNA from one's fart.
Speaking of which...

Nah, it won't stick.
Google could probably build a Metal Gear right now.
