if you paid for the design why didn't you just buy the regular clock speed version and save yourself $20? would have been the same 

I've never seen a regular clocked card that had a similar design to that and besides I'm a personal fan of EVGA. Just call it one of my guilty pleasures.

Good site for learning javascript: Code Academy

I rarely find any uses for javascript quite frankly other than the modified version that Unity3D uses. Still a good language to learn regardless that it's almost outdated with the whole HTML5 and all that other crap.

you literally paid $20 for someone to slide this bar a tad to the right

I didn't pay for for the overclock really. As I said previously I paid for the case design. It's not completely covered and has an open vent that runs along the entire card.

The default model is completely encased except for the little vent that covers the fan.

EDIT: Could only find a picture of Asus version but my cards look similar to that design. Second link is the default model.

also this part made me lol because the number comes after "GTX", and people who pay for overclocks are morons

maybe I'm just a nerd idk

An extra 20 bucks isn't really that bad of a deal. Besides I like the EVGA card design because it has better air flow since the case is more "open".

EDIT: I MEAN EVGA! Doh! I can't believe I mixed up GeForce with EVGA. I've had a long day today. :/

wouldn't be able to use. seems like too much of a pain for me. like touchscreens.

It does get disorientating at times but it helps a lot when I'm coding on one side, modeling on the other, and having a browser open in the middle for Unity3D script references.

It also does give me an unfair advantage because my friends have a hard time flanking me in FPS's since it extends my view.

was about to say the performance would likely be stuff with those cards but you beat me to it

Yep. Don't know why it runs so stuffty on that game. Every other game I've played over 100fps with my monitors. Even Battlefield 3 runs smoothly if I keep anti-aliasing off.

CLICK TO VIEW IMAGE!

I'll start off by listing my computers specs:
CPU - AMD Quad Core 3.5 (4.5 Over-Clock) GHz
GPU - Dual SLI 460 GTX's (EVGA Super-Clocked)
RAM - 8 Gigs
PSU - 750 Watt
Case - IN WIN Griffin

Anyways I've had these specs for a while but recently I finally got my third and final monitor. Thus, I can span any program (most importantly any game) across my expanded, paronamic view of 5760x1200. Surprisingly, this has worked with most games and had little framerate impact. Well except Crysis 2 which raped me with a walloping 5fps.

To be brief, playing games like Battlefield 3 across three monitors kicks ass! ;D

P.S. I made the picture a link so it wouldn't cause a page stretch.

While looking through suggestions, I saw Project Zomboid. I finished watching it and I can't stop laughing. You need to do more of them.

I do plan on doing more Let's Die videos since I tried the 2.0 beta of PZ and loved it but I think I'm going to hold out until the official release.

got 30 seconds in and still hadn't got past the intro, so i closed it

long intros = bad

It's more of a season premiere thing but if it's really that annoying I'll add a annotation you can click on to skip it.

EDIT: Added skip annotation.

EDIT 2: NVM, youtube is a jerk and doesn't let you annotation link to the same video. Just skip to 40 seconds in.

But Keo wasn't in high school when we first started this series.

I was a freshman when we started the series. :/

When I became a sophomore however is when we dropped the series.

« on: April 15, 2012, 05:56:51 PM »

Minus wind, rotation of earth, gravity, pretty much just Velocity of the object, direction of the object, and distance of the object are the only needed factors.

http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=191886.0
I made a topic for it.
Basically, code robots out of javascript and then pit bots against bots.

Oh it's a 2D game thing. I thought you were engineering a robot.

Leading a shot? Like firing a gun?

Depends on a lot of factors. Gravity, Earth's rotation (yes you have to compensate for that), yada yada yada.

Remember that Old L4D2 Series me and Gamefandan used to do?

Well we decided to revive it, and when I mean "we" I mean Gamefandan threatened to castrate me with a wooden spoon if I didn't bring the series back.

Well Here You Go...

P.S. Screw you Dan I was up til 2:00 A.M. rendering this crap. :/
P.S.S. Sorry that it was delayed for a year but I kinda got caught up in this thing called a life.

EDIT: P.S.S.S. Skip to 40 seconds in if you don't like intros and have the attention span of a five year old.
