Re: General discussion chat Replaced the Pentium 4 PC. This one has an Athlon 64 2800+, 512MB DDR RAM and an ATI 9250 GPU. Also used an 80GB IDE drive I had, it's running XP nicely. Though it won't last for too long, I've found someone who has some spare DDR2 RAM (1GB I think) and I'll be getting it this weekend, which means I can finally use that Core 2 Quad. I also have leftover thermal paste from my 212 Evo so I'll use that. I hope that GT9500 I have works, else I'll have to use the shitty igpu. Also have a 160GB SATA HDD somewhere, only need to find the damn thing :| Should be able to run Win 7, it's a mid-end cpu from 2007.
Re: General discussion chat Christ, even the Celeron M laptop had 2gb of DDR2 in it - - - Updated - - - Too true:
Re: General discussion chat So I was looking through my spam folder to see if my guitar teacher got filed under it (he didn't...), and I came across this. I'm still laughing. When her shotgun to get some nearby. Crawling to sleep josiah went back. Tossing aside the distance between her over. Closing the child in bed beside josiah. Tell her eyes opened his face. Letting his feet josiah opened the child. When josiah spoke up her prayer emma. Close his meal of great big enough.
Re: General discussion chat Some bitch in my band (likes to make more low blows than anything to get people to laugh) has given me what I'm gonna guess is the flu, and it's the day before a concert. I'm going to go up to her at some point tomorrow and cough back in her fucking face. She brought it up halfway through practice today, and I never usually get sick. It's just coughing and a mild headache, but I'm not letting that stop me. XD
Re: General discussion chat Does anyone know where I can find models of UK banger racing cars? I'm looking for the main 4 shapes for the iconic cars of the classic banger racer... basically these following cars from the 1980's Grenada Saloon (saloon) Grenada Estate (estate) Ford Capri/Grenada Ghia (2 door coupe) Nissan Bluebird (4 door hatchback) Anyway, not that I'm looking for these specific models although I would appreciate it. The best I've found came from an old carmageddon mod I used to play with called Seduction of Destruction. The models are perfectly usable, only issue is I cannot get them into .3ds max. If someone can do THAT for me I'd be happy. The reason is that I've been fucking around with the Ibishu covet to get a feel for jbeam. While I can kind of model vehicles I don't enjoy modelling and learning is a hate filled and boring process. I've taken a liking to Jbeam though. What I've noticed is that people have a tendancy here to complain about vehicles lagging, and also the more unavoidable scenario that many vehicles lag. So what I want to do is create some simple, FPS friendly but realistic enough, Jbeams so we can have banger races using that AI package someone made with waypoints. Stolen models will be placeholder till some nice community member makes proper ones and I'll happily affix jbeams to fit every banger model I get. Get them all hauling ass around an oval slamming into eachother at a reasonable framerate. The reason they should be extremely FPS friendly enough because I don't have to make any detachable parts. I can certainly make parts bulge up like the hood, and I can make the boot lid open. but they won't come off which saves a lot on the complexity of the jbeam. The hood is bolted onto the car, doors are welded completely and unavoidably shut and I haven't seen the fenders come off a banger racer yet. I can make suspension simply bend out the way. I can also make them simple enough that collision problems should be relatively rare. But I need the banger models.
Re: General discussion chat I have a little story. That Dell I was working on about 2 weeks ago finally worked to where it booted into its BIOS. So, I ghetto rigged the parts on my kitchen counter and now I'm installing Puppy Linux on it. Here's the pic.
Re: General discussion chat FlatOut 2? I have Ultimate Carnage (FO2 HD remake), I can export some models for you... If you tell me how to :| - - - Updated - - - Anyone here know about laptops? I'm looking to buy one and I really have no idea what is best. Mostly for web browsing and programming simple stuff, I don't need any graphics power and an i3 will be just fine. I'm avoiding the low power U/Y models since they're slow and expensive, but i3-M laptops aren't the most common. My budget is around £300, I don't want to spend too much on a laptop since I already have my rig at home. So, what should I get?

Re: General discussion chat Looks nice, screen is too small though. I'll try to find something similar with a 13-14" screen. A numpad would be great too, but that's usually only for 15.6 or 17.3" laptops.
Re: General discussion chat What logoster suggested seems good and would have a better battery-life than what I have, but if you want a larger keyboard these may work too. Believe me, the keyboards on a netbook can get cramped sometimes. I suggest reading different reviews on different laptops before determining what you will buy. http://www.amazon.com/15-6-Inch-Int...TF8&qid=1418267796&sr=1-9&keywords=i3+laptops http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-Noteb...=UTF8&qid=1418269450&sr=8-8&keywords=i3+3110m http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4P02BP7347 I couldn't find a laptop with a 4th gen i3 processor that wasn't a U/Y model and that was below $450-$600 (£361.30-£481.73).
Re: General discussion chat AMD is fine, they are much cheaper and even have better igpu's. Although I might just not buy any laptop at all, seeing how the price-specs ratio goes. I'm quite short on money and I don't really need it, although it would certainly be very useful.
Re: General discussion chat yay graphics coding lol Next step is implementing Box2D and doing some physics tests within the engine (imported from here)
Re: General discussion chat Anyone know of a way to make someone's posts never show up ever again for me?
