    You so sure about that?!



    (It's ridiculously hard to tell in that video but in the Lightning tracks it's always raining with rain drops and everything. It doesn't affect your ship though and on emulation everything gets buggy. I took a clear picture in Dolphin but they look like complete crap even with 4x resolution :p)

    GX actually have some nice weather/liquid effects in some of its tracks. Big Blue has caustics (They move too!) in the tunnels for instance:

    And Sand Ocean tracks have this heat haze effect. Unfortunately I can't take a screenshot because the effect uses some arcane trickery on the original Gamecube, and Dolphin's FPS tanks hard on even the strongest GPU's with that effect enabled.

    It's 88 degrees and sunny here in the great state of Ohio.

    the above statement would be ok if it was July. It's May, it should only be 70. This is crap.

    88 here too. I'd much rather have 70 as well. Just a tad bit too hot when working outside for 4 or 5 hours.

    Just wait until summer. It gets to 95-100 degrees, as well as 75-95% humidity, making it feel like 140.

    Yeah the north isn't any better with temperatures in the summer. It's pretty typical to see upwards of 100°F in the summer regularly.

    Yeah, Indiana is the same way. 90-95° with 90%+ humidity in the summer at times.

    I'm already looking forward to this summer. I'll have two weeks of band camp in 100+ weather and 90%+ humidity. It's going to be crazy.

    I actually don't mind the hot weather too much. It's just initially getting accustomed to it that sucks. Right now it's pretty hot and unbearable, by mid-summer I'll be perfectly fine.

    I bet you have AC in your room. We have 3 window AC units, one of which we haven't put in in years due to it being so heavy, loud, and using so much electricity.

    The FX 8320 and dual R9 270s in my computer don't help either.

    I got my HyperX Cloud yesterday.

    Seriously, it's not possible to get better sounding headphones this cheap. Clear crisp highs, great mids and really punchy sharp bass. And the quality feel is with no doubt the best in its price class.
    10/10, would recomment to anyone needing a pair of normal headphones or an awesome gaming headset.

    Conclusion: I want to glue them to my head and never take them off again.

    My house has a central AC system, it hasn't been on yet this year though. Plus my room is upstairs so the heat becomes unbearable even with the AC on. After an hour last night I gave up and slept on the living room couch with a large ice pack under my back to keep me from sweating.

    I'm with them, we have to put shit window ones in, and half of the time they don't make it any cooler, and the central doesn't work.

    99.99% of homes in britain dont even have that. You want to make it cooler? You open the window. That doesnt work? Get a desk fan. That doesnt work? Just hope the prior options worked.

    My room being next door to a boiler and upstairs from an oil burning oven that is on 24/7 and with a lovely window facing the sun most of the day quite regularly exceeded 30C in the summer.

    Actually. I'd rather have one of those since to achieve high clockspeeds my 8320 requires stupid voltage. Right now it's at 4.4GHz 1.43v and to hit 5+ GHz it needs well over 1.6v. (At ~1.5v the heat output gets ridiculous.)
