Re: General discussion chat The ASUS Z97-A is a good choice, so is the Z97-K if you're tighter on budget. The A is just a bit better for overclocking and has a better integrated sound card. Gigabyte and MSI also have some good models around $120, although I prefer ASUS myself.
Re: General discussion chat Why are these cars not in more video games?! They are perfect in every way, shape, and form.
Re: General discussion chat It takes a special eye to see the pure badass-ness that is a Crown Vic. Most video game players don't have that eye. I've actually never encountered anyone in real life that thinks Crown Vics are cool. Even then, it'd extremely hard to recreate that exhaust note :\
Re: General discussion chat I think the vic is awful. It has to be modified to be acceptable, and even then it has the lingering memory of being an automatic once...
Re: General discussion chat lel, some leaked benchmarks for the gtx 960 say it can run AC:U at 60 fps 1080p HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no if it can do that then i'm the president of the USA
Re: General discussion chat lel, not even a 980 can do that. If a 960 can run AC:U at any more than 30FPS 1080p in max graphics I'm the glorious leader of the One and Only Korea.
Re: General discussion chat well, at least if nvidia somehow gets it to happen, i'll finally be able to afford to upgrade my pc and i can get ubisoft to get rid of uplay, and to actually optimize their games and have ford bring back the crown vic and i can get the fastest internet possible
Re: General discussion chat They need to start seeing the baddassery held within a Vic. On a different note, my wi-fi card has decided it's going to go on it's period. I can't get it to stay connected for more than a few minutes. It's being worse than my ex-girlfriend.
Re: General discussion chat This would be like me saying the Chevrolet Caprice (huge shitbucket) is cool because it had an SS package. Woah. Just because it sounds good doesn't mean it is good.
Re: General discussion chat To be fair it is the most interesting American sedan I can think of. Only for the fact that they can indeed take quite a beating, which would make thrashing around in one pretty fun. I'd still have an E39 over a crown vic any day.
Re: General discussion chat Boring? You wanna get started on boring? European car companies make the most boring cars around, hands down. ew eugh Oh god. Why am I subjecting myself to this? There's a hell of a lot more fun to be had with crown vics than those plastic shitboxes that you drool over. As soon as you try to do anything besides grocery runs with those things they just fall apart. I wanna see a stock (except exhaust, of course) european shitbox do this.
Re: General discussion chat It's funny because the first two of those are infinitely better than the Crown Vic. The Astra not so much, but whatever. But none of this matters because anything anyone else says that might remotely disagree with you will be met with "lalala I'm right" despite you posting things that contradict your cause.

Re: General discussion chat "European car companies make the most boring cars, hands down" "As soon as you try to do anything besides grocery runs with those things they just fall apart." And these aren't passing opinion off as fact? There's your example for contradicting your own cause. And watch your language with the insults, I don't think there's any legitimacy in claiming that someone else is "a condescending asshole" when you call them an asshole twice and a dickhead in a single post. I'm pretty sure you need to step away from the keyboard for a while. Forgot to reply to this. The GTX960 was revealed to only have 2GB of VRAM and a 128-bit memory bus. Considering 780s and 970s are struggling with the game, the 960 has no chance at that resolution. A suppoesd 960Ti might have a better shot but it's not going to hit 1080p60.
Re: General discussion chat The crown vic was built specifically to be a tough car, but all things considered, all of the three cars you posted (Although the Astra is dreadful and I hate it) are far better daily drivers than a crown vic. Unless you are a police officer, or a 'murican who thinks 'daily driver' means 'beat the shit outta the car'. And it would seem you call any car that's designed for simple city driving a shitbox. What you don't seem to understand is that most people in the civilized world want a comfortable car for daily commuting, not a police car.
Re: General discussion chat Sure, I wasn't being polite at all about stating my opinions at that point because...well...just look at the post I was responding to. Can I see what the other contradiction was, before I started flaming you? I usually refrain from flinging vulgar insults at people. It's tacky and immature. But you really piss me off. - - - Updated - - - It all depends on what you want in a daily driver. I want something I can beat the shit out of, but still have a reliable, comfortable car. It also has to do donuts.
