Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (full version), store broke the street date. Spectacular combat system and art :thumbup:
I'm also playing Amalur. Pretty much non-stop since I got it 2 days ago :P
Just got it as well, haven't tried it out yet but I assume it's similar to Skyrim in a sense? I have way too many games on backlog now :-| .
-
I can get 15-20 fps with an i3 laptop with integrated hd-3000 graphics. I'd assume your computer is really old then.
-
Keyboard is the last thing i need to buy as well. I'm leaning towards a Razer Anansi to match my Razer Naga. It doesn't have the wrist thing you mentioned but surely you could buy one of those separate.

Got my new pc built and I picked up Metro 2033, Witcher 2, and Civilization V. Anyone have experience with pc games? I need some suggestions on good games to look out for on steam.

My favorite part of article 1 was the part about how Jagex should just create wiki pages to fix all the problems. That's a completely logical fix to enforcing rules. Or was that even what the article was about? The intro paragraph talked about ibot and getting rid of bots then the rest of the article suddenly jumps into a rule examination. Maybe it's because I'm out of the loop of Runescape happenings.
Edit: Ah i understand now, ibot relates to them actually enforcing a rule.
-
I sorta like when people [bleep] about how bad the article is because it makes me actually read it rather than ignore it and shoot down to off-topic.

You only get 190fps on minecraft? I get more than that with my GTX 550ti. Have you made sure your drivers have been installed, and that you got them from the respective manufacturer's website?
I'll check, I just bought Civ 5, Witcher 2, and Metro 2033 with my remaining gift card and the rest of my ram came in so im at 12gb now. I've got the rig hooked up to my 32" lcd and i feel like my xbox will start collecting dust at this point.
Edit: I reinstalled the latest EVGA drivers and fired up minecraft and its at 250-290 fps now. I'm interested if it raised swtor's fps i'll have to check that tonight.
-
Got it built last night and stayed up till 6am getting everything installed.
I fired up Swtor and got 110 fps.
Minecraft gets 190 fps.
I'm happy with it.
-
Everything has been ordered so no turning back at this point.
-
Its not a top brand but from what i've read the company has been around for over a decade and they have a 1 year warranty. I understand being scared of offbrands and power supplies could cause damage but i'm willing to take the gamble to be able to do this build without breaking my bank account.
-
I updated the OP with the ordered build, I ended up getting a better psu and mobo. Let me know if this looks good guys.

SWTOR and 3 months of membership.
I'm level 35 as a Sith Marauder and the game is simply amazing.
-
Yeah I couldn't believe he choked. Was hoping for Ravens and 49ers Superbowl but it's looking like it's going to be big market teams.
-
Yeah I agree it seems overly expensive for what you get. I'm pretty certain you can get a i3 or i5 with like 4gb of ram and 320-500gb hdd for 400-450, I could be wrong though. Gpu is prob going to be integrated unless you surpass 500.00 mark.
Edit:
Theres one for 400 that would play rs just fine. You're going to have to drop more cash for a good laptop with a decent gpu but if you don't plan on playing anything taxing on graphics i'd just go with something cheap.

I personally use a Logitech MX518. It's pretty much just a slightly different style of the G500 without the weights option/missing two of the programmable buttons but it's really comfortable. The Razer Naga looks kind of uncomfortable to use, but it might just be something that you have to get used to over time.
It looks less ergonomic than it really is. The right side is contoured so that your ring finger rests in the contour and your pinky wraps around the side. The buttons are easily hit with my thumb and the only ones I really have to try to hit are 10-11-12. The scroll wheel is nice and the wheel, numbers, and razer logo are backlit blue. The software you download includes macro recording and dpi up to 5600. I've always owned logitech but I'm starting to like this product. The best part about it all is the cord, I've hated corded mice for one reason and that's tangling and the cord getting bunched up and in the way. Razer's cords are braided and do not tangle.

Thanks for the feedback, if you ever roll a toon on Sword of Ajunta Pall pm me Tripsis.

I'm playing SWTOR a lot lately and I'm looking for a gaming mouse. I really like the Razer Naga and I just ordered it, but I've heard a lot of good things about the Logitech G500.
So, what do you guys prefer? My main draw to it is binding abilities to the mouse.
-
It's shut off atm because of lack of activity, me returning to college, and the fact that SWTOR is sucking my life away.

Spent roughly $350.00 this semester i'll have to buy 3 from the bookstore used because they come with cd's and i couldn't find them anywhere online cheaper. The other 3 books i found online used through amazon. If i bought all new through bookstore woulda been like 650-700 dollars.

Went to IMAX and seen Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. It was badass, nuff said.
You liked it? I admit it was badass at times, but the plot was kinda shit, and the ending was terrible.
I saw it today as well.
The ending coulda been better but it strongly hints at mission impossible 5. I really didn't mind the plot, it fits the previous movies and imo it exceeded the previous films in quality which is a hard feat after 3 other movies. It was no where near perfect but i liked it.
-
Anyone know of a good fan site?
Maybe r/swtor on reddit. I've looked there a few times and they have a server and mumble, ect.

Yeah don't get a dell, that computer you linked to looked like a pretty good build. I didn't realize you could find anything without integrated graphics for that price range.

Not really surprised, it's sad to see such talented individuals pass so early in life. I assume if she drowned she passed out from a massive amount of downers? I'd say tomorrow it will be ruled drug related death because of her past history.
