Be glad you got the 280x DD, the 7970 DD brought death to the vrms. It was being sold as cheap as mid range 7950s at one point. I would watch the vrms though. Stock voltage is 1.25 right?
no idea. - - - Updated - - - omg. Watch Dogs is too addicting. I've already played 17 hours of it and am still in Act 1. There are so many side missions, collectables, investigations, and rewards. I just want to do everything else first for some reason lol.
I've been playing mostly campaign and I'm a ways into act 2. The story gets really good. I had to stop playing it earlier and switch to gta because it required too much focus to talk to my friends and play at the same time. I love this game. Buy it. Everyone.
On the subject of game recommendations. The tomb raider reboot is really quite good. Ignore the tomb raider branding and that the player is Lara croft and its a solid 9 out of 10 from me. However I will say there are a few too many quick time events and although it doesn't feel too distant it doesn't quite feel like tomb raider (although it is a modernised reboot and origin story) so I drop it to 8/10.
I already watched a lets play of the entire game and it looked fun, but since I already know the story I'm not gonna get it.
I doubt my mom would like my playing it. Remember how I have a hard enough time with teen games. I'd rather keep minecraft than no games at all.
So, today I cleaned out my room and I put the Seagate back in my PC so now I have 3-way RAID 0 with 1.5TB I cleaned all over my room and I got everything out of my closet. (EVERYTHING) Then I put my little TV and PS2 in there along with somewhere to sit. It is now my TV room. (It's like 2x5 feet big or something..) Also, when I was cleaning my closet I found a forgotten birthday check, so that's nice.
Pretty similar here. Think I got to about 13/14 and parents just decided that they had no way of altering what I play and as long as I kept the volume down to sensible levels (ie they cant hear me in the kitchen or whatever) then they didnt really care what I played, Dad would always buy age rated games for me if I gave him the money but I can do that for myself now.
Yeah, my parents really stopped caring what I played. My mom would always buy me M rated games if I gave her the money because she didn't know about the rating system. Now I don't have to lie about my age on Steam to buy games lol.
You. It's weird to me that in two years I will be able to buy any game or movie I want, even ones my mom would view as satan. When did humanity decide that they would just give you that ability at 17? Crazy IMO. One day I wouldn't have the chance of buying an R/M movie or game (legally or through my mom) but the next day I could do it and only have to deal with moral problems. That's pretty funny.
Also movie ratings. They fit so much into PG and PG-13, then R can be only slightly different and be limited to 17 (or 18. IDK Im tired) but then R can also have some pretty intense stuff. I like the euro/aussie version more. PEGI (IDK what the movie version is) makes more sense. Also, Palo Alto (R) got a "PG" misprint in my newspaper. I was wondering how but then I looked it up and.. wow. It fits R perfectly.
BBFC film ratings pretty much go U, PG, 12, 15, 18. Simples. Then games mostly use PEGI but a few do use BBFC. Assassins creed 4 here is marked 18, I'm sure it would be fine as a 15 but maybe they didn't like the Welshman that sounds more like an Englishman. Regardless, no complexities to that rating system. I've seen pegi ratings going through 3, 7, 12, 15, 16 and 18. Oh, U is universal. Suitable for babies and all. PG, parental guidance. Perhaps a PG might be disturbing to some kids or slightly violent (not that they are disturbing or violent) and its left to parental discretion, really I think its an excuse to have a rating between U and 12, power rangers is the first thing I can think of from top of my head. Regardless, at 19 I don't have to look at them.
Movies over here is G (general audiences. equivalent to your U), PG (Parental guidance), PG-13 (No one under 13 permitted without parental guidance), R (Restricted, no one under 17 without parental guidance), and NC-17 (No child under 17 permitted at all, with or without an adult). Then video games ESRB ratings go, Ec for early childhood, E for everyone, E10+ for everyone ages 10 and up, T for teen, M for Mature (17+), and Ao for adult only.
