you confuse me with AUDIOBOXER?! of all the people in the world!

LOL!! Sorry. My only excuse is you know where my head is at right now, I had just responded to one of his comments in another thread, and I hadn't had my coffee yet :blush: . I know to you, that's like THE biggest insult :rofl:

i'm sure he'd be upset, too. good thing you didn't add Sethos to the mix somehow heh heh. Enjoy your coffee.

BTW: all kidding aside, what you experienced does come first for you, i'll play old Gavin if it makes you feel better!

many congrats on the milestone matha, good work.

welcome to the club iceman, PabUK should be able to add you soon. Those 30 points better be 3000 by the end of the month. And we don't appreciate people who only put in 2.5 hours every two weeks. House rules are you must be underemployed and an alcoholic who can't sleep at night. Then you're a member.

Took me a bit to get into Red Faction, but I'm starting to enjoy it now. I still don't know what I think about Prototype. It just feels sloppy and the city is so bland and boring. You don't feel like exploring at all. On the other hand, the powers are bad ass :p . Both of them seem like you have to put a lot of time into them for achievements though; I don't like that in a game :laugh: . Borrowed Call of Juarez from a buddy that already beat it. Hopefully it will be easier achievements than RF and Prototype :laugh:

Broke 31K a little while ago with Kung Fu Panda. One more playthrough on the hardest setting and that'll be another 100%.

Congrats!! I think I only have 1 or 2 games that I've gotten 100% on. I don't go for achievements if they are annoying, and there are always at least 1 or 2 for every game that look too annoying to me to bother with :p .

i know what you mean about the annoying ones lol i don't really go for the online achievements cos i suck playing online. For example Fight Night 4, did all the offline achievements (including beating Ali and Tyson on G.O.A.T which was flooping hard lol) only got the online achievements to do, but i suck at that game online.

well that's because online you're dealing with people, who are more unpredictable, plus now with MS not enforcing anti-hacking policies because they want to move hardware, there's an increased chance of coming up against a cheater. Those people who get 7:1 ratios in COD4 time and again...aimbot + wallhack FTW.

Red Faction achievements...they were OK actually, wouldn't call them creative though - the pointless ones were destroying the supply crates and also the propaganda removal achieve. Those would have taken too much time.

And who are all these new people around here? How did you get by immigration, are you sure your papers are in order?

A little late posting this, but 1000/1000 with Kung Fu Panda. Maybe I should sign up for one month of Gamefly just to play a load of easy games and boost myself into the top 25... :devil:

... I'd much rather get to 1,000,000 points in Geometry Wars to be honest :(

Don't bet on Gamefly having ANY games in stock at ANY time...i expect to play Prototype by the time Prototype 2: The Revenge comes out. But then they do have their good moments.

Congrats on clocking the panda game, i suppose...

I was quite enjoying PoP up until the whole "you have to collect "blank" light seeds to proceed" thing. I don't know how the designers thought that would possibly be fun. It's fun when it's optional, like in Crackdown, but forced it's just lame!!!

I'm also stuck on Juarez as there seems to be a problem with the disk as it won't load my save. Just sits there at the loading screen. I even let it sit for an hour!! I even tried installing it to the HDD, but same thing.

So my GS has come to a halt for now :p

yeah game designers aren't always the smartest bunch. sometimes you have to wonder what they were thinking, or if they were thinking at all. but the barrels in Juarez weren't bad...easy achieve really. just aim down the sights.

Got Juarez working. I had to reload the entire chapter though. Lame. The barrels were super easy!! I don't know how you could possibly have trouble with them :p. I'm really enjoying it. But then I have a real soft spot for westerns.

don't say that. that scene didn't call for any special skills, you just didn't have the patience for it. give it another shot if you can.

Yeah, with a 20k GS, you've obviously got some gaming skills. Sometimes it just happens that for some reason you have a real hard time with a spot in a game. I've had it where I've felt like throwing the disk out the window and vowing to never play the game again, only to come back to it a few days later, beat it easily on my first try, and wonder why I was having so much trouble. Give it another go, I'm sure you'll get through it.

    • Does anyone here know if these updates are integrated into the UUP dump isos?
    • Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management.

This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
