Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

daily 2nd! right on :) Thanks for getting all this put together and out there Car77, and great work to everyone involved. I hadn't wanted to animate for a year or more before I did my piece, I'm glad I dusted off the tablet and hammered something out finally.

great work again erybody.

...when's 60 frame 5? :D

yup, that be mine

I've got a HIS H679F1GD Radeon HD 6790 in this tower, it's great when the fan isn't all rrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeee (bearings or something) and it does that a lot...I can't figure out if I want to RMA or try an aftermarket fan

i was crusing around the web a week or so back looking for sites like gamefly/steam/amazon where I could snag some cheap pc games for download and I came across this site

it's one of those pay what you want ($1.00+) / for charity kinda deals. I'd never heard of Groupees before but I figured I'd give it a go. Payed 3 bucks and got all the stuff listed there. 6 games and DLC for one of them, some free music that I haven't downloaded, and possibly a few other things if they reach the next donation goal. Figured some of you cheap bastards might appreciate the link. Sideway Ney York was worth the 3 bucks on it own.

I doubt you'll go very far with a restaurant where the food turns to dust in the customer's mouths, also you get one food item and you can only spawn that for yourself to eat.

crap, I missed the part about others turning to dust and i must have forgot about the one kind of food/drink thing after reading through everyone's posts. I'll still take the food spawning, save me a ton on groceries.

Event Horizon was a fantastic movie that I'm not sure got much attention. To this day I can't understand the hate for Howard The Duck, I loved it as a kid and went back not long ago and watched it on netflix and it's still awesome.

as long as the food spawning is unlimited, instant, and not restricted by your own culinary knowledge I'd take that. Open a restaurant with an infinite menu and make infinite profit.

To the guy who said delete the first gas engine or guy who created it, it would only be a matter of time before someone else came up with the same thing.

Being able to play Ico again and Shadow Of The Collosus without all the terrible frame rate drops, 3D, and HD was totally worth rebuying some old games. The Sly Cooper games also held up pretty well, and I need to grab the MGS collection soon too. If they could go back and dig up the original high-res renders of the backgrounds and sprites (I assume they exist) for Abe's Oddesy and Exoddus and give us a re-release of that...mmmm. The only one I've had any kind of problem with so far was Earthworm Jim HD because the audio was off, maybe that's what the original master recordings sounded like but it just wasn't right.

If you turned it on and it worked then there shouldn't be any problem. It wouldn't work with enough juice anyway.

Well, if it still worked after drawing power, like when running a game, then yeah.

most newer power supplies have a 20+4 pin power cable for the motherboard and everything I've read says that those last 4 are meant to deliver extra juice to the pci-e slot. I shouldn't be worried, so far as i know you can't burn out a component by not giving it enough power, but still.

just upgraded my hdd, ram, OS, and installed a video card (Radeon HD 6790). CPU is still a bit on the weak side of things: Athlon II x2 245 2.9ghz, I was on a budget so it'll do for a while. Here comes the "but"

In my rush to get new components I totally spaced on a new PSU...I've got a 480w 20pin non pci-e power supply in the tower, so I'm missing those last 4 pins for the mobo that are meant for powering the PCI-E slot. I hooked up the video card anyway and used the 4 pin x2 to 6 pin adapter that came with the card to power it. It seemed to work but I got paranoid and took the card out and went back to integrated graphics and ordered a proper PSU from Newegg that with luck I'll have Friday, but It's shipping today from Jersey to Missouri so I'm thinking it's probably going to end up being Monday. *sigh*

So , here's the question. Is it safe to run the card on the 20 pin or should I wait for the new power supply before pushing the card at all?

Just the thread I was hoping to find.

I'd love it if they'd make the horse a bit more functional and not just a way to fast travel while carrying too much stuff, being able to attack from horseback would be super nice.

I do have a question about the voice acting within the game, has Bethesda always been so all over the place with accents? Skyrim is my first venture into the Elder Scrolls games. Take the Jarl of Whiterun for instance, thick Nordic accent and then you run into his little jerkass kids who are obviously American...Or the talking dog from Jersey. The inconsistencies in accents kind of kills the immersion for me.

He's been pretty vocal for a couple years about wanting a PSP. His older brother got a DS for his last birthday, and he's stuck to his guns about wanting a psp still. They can always trade off too ,so no worries.

How did I forget about Dragon's Lair? I did so now I'll say Dragon's Lair, and Space Ace. I never beat either one but I pumped a hell of a lot of money into them. I also have distant memories of playing the original Star Wars game with it's monochromatic pseudo polygons, the trench run was pretty badass for it's time.

Eh, a nine year old doesn't need a $250 portable gaming device, and I'd rather only be out $130 when it inevitably gets broken. If I was to buy a Vita it would be for myself and since I don't find much time to play video games while I'm out and about, I won't be. Getting an older system there's also good sized backlog of cheap games for him to choose from.

Thanks for the ideas, gents.

crap, I forgot about Patapon, I'd wanted to try that one myself.

I was planning on picking up a psp tomorrow for my son's 9th b-day. Obviously he'd like some games to go with it. I was thinking about Eyepet and Little Big Planet. What are some games that you'd call must haves for a younger gamer?

I used to steal quarters from my dad's change dish and ride my bike down to the video store and play the shit out of Afterbuner. The first time I saw Virtua Fighter in an arcade in Okinawa was pretty amazing. The shooters were aways my favorite though. Gunblade NY and Silent Scope stand out as my major quarter eaters, and the Neo Geo 4 in 1 machines.

well, according to eharmony and match.com tv adverts they are for beautiful and affluent people who are too busy to meet someone. But I'm thinking more often than not they are for people who have spent too much time in front of a computer and have forgotten how to function in real social settings.

What was bad about Mass Effect 2 on the ps3? was it because they couldn't get their hands on ME1 since Microsoft owned Bioware at the time? From what I can tell from reviews it's the same game across all platforms aside from having the migrating saved game after beating the first.

After a brief play of Street Fighter 2 HD remix, I'd have to say that was worse. It was prettier sure, but it just felt clunky and I didn't enjoy it at all. It could just be that I'm remembering the original through my retro fondness filter. Also Mortal Kombat 1 when it ported to SNES censored all to hell.

Microsoft will probably make a big push for digital downloads over physical media. Releasing games online the same day or earlier than at retail and maybe offering it cheaper? Hell, they may even take an approach similar to On-Live with their streaming games. In that sense they'd take a big chunk of disks out of circulation that could otherwise end up at places like Gamestop, and you can't re-sell downloaded content. But the total killing of the used game market I doubt.

They've done some stupid stuff before (releasing with a known fatal design flaw comes to mind) but I don't think they'd be so willing to cut so many prospective customers out, especially if another console still allows pre-owned games. With so many titles being released across multiple platforms they'd be hard pressed to give you a good reason to stick around...unless, and I just thought of this, if they pulled a PS3 Portal 2 kind of move and give you a free copy of your Xbox game for a Windows PC. That may be enough incentive for some people to stick around. Anyway, It's all rumors at this point and I'm not taking any of it as anything more than that.

Deciphering Old Texts, One Woozy, Curvy Word at a Time

I'd bet money that not every captcha out there serves that purpose, it still makes me feel like I'm doing something marginally helpful for society.

autotune when you're not GLaDOS hurts me. Zero.

we have Big Ass brand fans at work. It's like 50 upside down helicopters keeping us cool in the summer.

You "think" your nose is bleeding...Did the apple also hit you in both eyes so that you can't see if your nose is bleeding or just all runny/snotty cuz you've been crying hysterically about the whole thing?

I say just let it bleed freely unlit it clots. You should just enjoy the salty coppery goodness running down to your mouth while it lasts.

don't cloud my argument with facts!

would you rather we go back to judging by skin color?

If I'm in the mood for beer it's Shiner Bohemian Black Lager or Guinness Extra Stout. I mostly stick to whiskey sours though.

lets see, I thought The Postman was pretty awesome and I've never watched Scarface or The Godfather

I broke my big toe a little over a month ago. Kicked the shit out of a wall in anger and the wall won....anyway, it's just about healed now. You'll be down to only a slight limp in 2 or 3 weeks probably.
