Topic: What are you playing? (games)

that's the thing, even with the lowest gearing possible (i tried both ways) and even with the vehicle marked with the highest acceleration the AI still gets a jump on you at the start. It is more obvious on the trucks, with the cars I get pretty even or close to what AI is accelerating from a standing start.

Well, I've been using the MG more and more.  It doesn't get left behind like some of the other cars.  You can't jsut floor it though.  Like a real car you've got to make sure the tires aren't breaking grip.  I did one of the LA Domination missions where you're going several laps and was able to get a really healthy lead.  1.5 sections on the group.

So you like the stuff huh?  I want that same card.  You'll probably want to OC the CPU later so it won't be the bottle neck.

Looks like it's influenced by the film LA Confidential a little bit.  Rockstar does seemingly appear to be getting good at creating game characters based on live action performers.

It's weird...little stuff like the visualizer on iTunes actually showing pulses right as the beats happen...

Just played Black OPs for a couple of hours...maximum settings...didn't even blink.

Sub woofer isn't kicking on for some reason...trying to use LFE...will install my ceiling surround speakers maybe tomorrow night and then I can let the receiver try to calibrate itself with the fancy microphone thingy.

did you turn it on, they usually have their own power. also make sure your computer output (i assume you're playing this on your newly acquired PC and Yamaha surround system) is set to 5.1 or 7.1 (or whatever you have). There's also a subwoofer frequency cutout setup in the surround system, you could have it too low, try to raise it see if that works. The microphone setup is to detect the listening distance from the speakers, won't make much of a difference on the subwoofer since that one is a single and doesn't really matter where is located. I had a Yamaha 7.1, was a nice system, i did the microphone setup but from what i remember i still had to do some manual tweaking afterwards.

Yep..it's on...it's a JBL and has a couple of lights on the fron that are red when there is no signal (or not enough input) and they turn green when it is making waves.

The way I had it set up before was with as a pass-through to all of the speakers, but figured I would try the LFE as that is the way the Yamaha book said to set up.  I'll futz around with it some more this week when I have time.  Speant all weekend painting...and then playing COD....

Started Black Ops on PS3 and Red Dead Undead.

[Jeffy]

Been playing Dirt 2 as well as Arma 2 OA.  Oh and Katamari Forever on the PS3.

[chardrc]

went "old" and installed nfs underground 2 on my computer, i don't know why but i love that game.. something about souping up low hp cars and driving them in a totally unrealistically handling game... but that ended real fast when i got a 23" acer monitor for Christmas so now im playing bc2 and l4d again... dirt 2 is 33% off on steam through the end of the year and is realy tempting me to buy it...
