Satchmo: Interestin' aren't they? I knew about the "Ring Around the Rosy" one, but I didn't know about the "Mary Mary Quite Contrary" one.
Its a Bat-a-rang!
Yeah, the square surfaces thing is a bitch.
I'm pretty sure Microsoft would have access to prototype graphics cards.
I'm waiting for Vista m'self.

I will never buy any POS console from Sony. They can take all their mindless, brainwashed fanboys and horrific DRM-infected propietary formats and shove it up their ass.Finally! Someone with a bit of fuckin' sense!
And for those of you who say the PS3 is "proven" to be more powerful than the 360 dont know jack. The GPU in the PS3 has 24 pixel shader processors, while the GPU in the 360 has 48 shader processors. Sony can brag all they want about how powerful the CELL processor is, but in the end it all comes down to who has the more powerful graphics processing, and that would go to the 360.
I dont own either console, nor do I intend to. My X1900XT beats both the 360 and the PS3. My PC beats the PS3 and it isnt even released yet. PCs are way better than consoles. Though I do have some interest in the Revolution, that actually shows some promise.
First, to all those Revolution hating idiots: have you tried the console? I'm willing to bet that no, you haven't. So, you're all basically saying that its gonna suck, despite the fact that you haven't played it! Wtf?
I have a PC. Why in the hell would I go out and pay money for an Xbox 360 or a PS3, two pieces of hardware that aren't ungradeable in anyway (apart from minor things) when I could have a blisteringly fast PC by my side? Keep in mind that PC's right now can supersede the Xbox 360 already, so imagine what they'll be like when the PS3 arrives. DirectX10 is out in about a year, so be prepared for it to blow those two things out of the water.
And another thing, stop throwing about numbers about which one will be graphically superior. Keep in mind that when Resident Evil 4 was ported from the Gamecube to the PS2, graphic quality was lost. Yes, that's right, lost. You can confirm that with every review of Resident Evil 4 for the PS2 that exists. Proves that numbers don't mean everything.
At least Nintendo are trying something new. They've already stated that they're not interested in competing with Sony and Microsoft. Another fun fact: the DS is beating the pants off the PSP in pretty much all of Europe and Asia. Not bad for a significantly underpowered handheld, is it?
I'm sorry, but I prefer my PC's powerful and my consoles fun and original.
Foo Fighters - Halo
Do they have anything close to that for free download?Erm, considering there's a fair bit of hardware involved, I'd think not.
The "problem" with Opera is that its strictly standards compliant. As such, sometimes you'll come across sites that don't work in Opera. 100% of the time, this is not Opera's fault, its the site. They've coded it in some fucked up way so that it works in IE but is screwed in Opera. This is called lazy web developing. Think about it. 
Most of the time (and I'm using Star Wars Episode 1 as an example here) if you check the feet of characters you can see how it doesn't blend in properly. Don't ask me why, but although the droids and Jar Jar (shudder) looked fairly realistic, if you looked at their feet, they didn't quite mesh with the ground right.

Well, the technology is nothing new. Its a process called Universal Capture if I recall correctly. The CGI guys working on the Matrix created it.

Yes, they did. That's the fix for it.
Free texture sites, for the most part, suck. Immensly. Sometimes you get lucky, but most of the time, for Source related stuff, you don't.

T'was on Saturday Night Live, but they removed it from the 'Net (that's why the one Rowley linked to has a weird file name).

Uh, its rather unlikely you'll find someone to buy that, based on the fact that the majority of members here are aged 15 and under.
Actually, the way you convey yourself online is somewhat purely based on your grammatical abilities.
"i ned hlp plz"
"I require some help, please."
I think you can see which one portrays the better image. Besides, why take shortcuts? It actually takes me longer to write with shortcuts, I've become that proficient at using proper English on the Internet. As well as this, if you use shortcuts too much, it starts to slip into real-life: I can vouch for this, because there were heaps of students who couldn't spell for crap in my final years at High School.

I need props and materials now. Soon as I can get my hands on some, I can finish this off.
Hahaha. Now you can never get it wrong!
Scrubs - My Way or the Highway
MY THREAD, MY RULES!
My bad. Spelling a bit poorly today.
Yeah, I agree. The reflectivity is a lot better too (I hadn't even built the cubemaps in that shot!)
Yah, nicely made. Would've liked to have seen it polished up a bit more, but it was fairly accurate. Amusing.
Oh for God's sake. I'm gonna guess the addition of the " " emoticon in my original post was clearly overlooked. If I was being rude, I'd say something like this:
"You're a fucking idiot for not bothering to check the minimum system requirements before running Source on your machine."
And that would be followed by no emoticon. Maybe I'll just stop bothering to make stuff remotely lighthearted from now on, because it seems to me like no-one here understands it.

If you're running on a PCI slot, you've got little chance. I ran HL2 on a GeForce 2 for the majority of the time when I got it, and I had to run in the lowest res with everything on low and I still got lag spikes. A PCI card simply will not allow a card to run fast enough to get something out of HL2. I'm sorry, but my original comments apply.
