We're playing a Tekkit Classic Serverloljk and need generic people to stand in the background to make us look good by comparison.

Wowzers!

Does anyone remember what this was called? It's a reaction image of sorts in a comic format in which a guy says something presumably stupid and then in the last panel says something along the lines of "Jokes on you guys, I was just kidding!". Need it for something!

Heavy bass response if that's what you're into (Remember Bass =/= Quality) but is lacking in the high end department and also around parts of the mid range. (Basically, means lyrics could be harder to make out, losing some of the sound that makes a guitar sound bright, ringing of a snare drum, etc.)

It's definitely geared towards bass heads. If you're looking for something more neutral (Hearing all of the song) as an alternative but still around your price range you could look at a pair of Sony MDR-ZX600s. They are still not completely neutral in that they favour the mid/high range more than the bass but unless you're willing to pay more these are pretty close. If you're into heavy bass and less of the bright sounds of a song then the Hesh looks alright for it's price. Again, both quality wise aren't the best which is to be expected of the price range.

To be honest, I have no idea what the motherboard does. Worth upgrading then?

Hey hey hey there

Looking for a little upgrade to my computer. Current set up:

GPU: HD 6870
CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 450 Triplecore 3.2GHz
RAM: 8Gb
Motherboard: Asus M5A78L-M

Other stuff I have is a 1 tb hard drive. Ive got no SSDs. Power supply is a CX600 (600W)

I am almost certain I'm getting a HD7970. I would get a GTX 680 but I don't really have the monies for that at the moment. I'm also sure the 7970 is a bit above the GTX 670 so I won't be downgrading to that just to have a nvidia card.

CPU Wise I'm not sure if I need to upgrade. I've heard around 3.2 Ghz is around the minimal requirment for gaming but if it were to be a significant boost in performance I would upgrade to something beefier.

All compatible yes? And if I were to upgrade the CPU eventually what would be good to get?

I like that it's not on PC because it means EVE Players are less likely to just play both and for the wars to be influenced by the same real-life people. Splitting them up makes it so different player-bases are influencing things in one universe. Pretty neat. Also I'm pretty sure one of CCP's main motivations for it being PS3 exclusive was upfront money from Sony. Not sure but I remember hearing something similair when Dust 514 was announced as PS3 exclusive.

Argh, Jungle Run perk is so annoying. Your character moves as if he is running close to the ground, but the sound stays the same as if you were walking slowly. The immersion breakage is painful.

For some reason, my GPU has completely stopped outputting HDMI it seems.  It detects that a monitor is there and makes the effort to try and display things, but the monitor doesn't actually receive anything.  Could it be my mini hdmi to hdmi converter?  I noticed that when I screwed around with that by bending the cord I got the screen to say "check signal cable" instead of "no signal" for a little bit (It displays no signal when it detects that the computer is there, then says check signal cable if the is disconnected).  I have also gotten it to nearly display for a bit when jiggling the cable.  I have a GTX 560, by the way.

Had same problem, thought it was adapter for same reason. Turns out my GPU had actually bust and got a replacement on warranty. It was covered in a lot of dust so I assume it overheated and something went wrong, might be the same for yours.

Spoiler filled post

So, does anyone else know why Master Chief dissolves into light dust like a Promethean Knight when he dies sometimes? It doesn't happen to the covenant or marines/other spartans but the Promethean Knights, all the other enemies unique to Requiem and Master Chief do the same death animation. Is the method that Halsey used on John the same one that the Diadact used to create his guardians?

This could link in to the 'humanity' issue that is touched upon in this game. Related to this, I found it really sad at the end when Cortana dies and Chief continues his monotone voice saying "No, cortana. No..." even though you can tell he is emotionally hurt, and then at the end when he is staring out in to space you can tell he just doesn't know what to do with his life anymore. :(
