Haha i like Kojimas style Playing the short section of MGS1 in MGS1 graphics, i was like WTF?. The Rex/Ray Fight was EPIC.

Yeah I loved that part :woot:

You're making good progress through the game!

Cant stop playing this game, i play it in 4-5 hour stints then have a break for an hour or so, there arent many games that get me so engrossed, there arent many games that make me really care about the characters either, there were quite a few moments when i was gutted. Not looking forward to the ending :(

Epic game, dont think there will be many games that can touch MGS4 now, fairly happy with the ending. Got a little bit fedup with some of the cutscenes they dragged on far too long but for the most part im well impressed.

Also while on the South American Trail following Naomi did anyone come across this?

I took a picture of it with the ingame camera, im guessing its the core of Kojimas team, cant realy make out the signatures.

I know what you're on about, I'd have taken a pic if I remembered to pick up the camera lol

OMG at the ending! :o I was convinced that Snake was going to die at the end.. if your reading this Kojima, Snake's got at least one more game left in him yet! haha :laugh:

From what I interpreted the ending as Snake is supposed to die due to his accelerated aging, and he is spending his final days with Otacon and Sunny. Therefore it's safe to assume there won't be any more future games starring Solid Snake.

They've said it was the last game about Snake anyway. They could potentially do a game about Raiden getting Big Boss and Sunny.

I've seen a Youtube vid of someone going to that handprint area, but I've never been there myself.

Oh.. i meant how Snake was told that the Foxdie virus in his body that is mutating and about to cause a pandemic is being countered by Foxalive, and he has more time left

I did remember that rite did'nt i? :wacko:

Anyways.. has anybody unlocked any of the high emblems or special items yet? Am working on getting the figurines myself

I went through it on easy and got The solar gun (get all the figurines), stealth and bandana in one go, the hardest parts were the on-rails bits (on the APC and motorbike), other than that it's pretty easy.

I'm trying to get the Big Boss Emblem but is REALLY HARD :blink:

I can only but wish you the best of luck, its not something I'll be trying till I have had my fun with the game, then when I do try, I won't feel so bad when i get angry at it, lol.

I don't think I'm going to continue lol, I cant pass the Frogs :crazy:

I played it at 1080p to be honest you wont realy notice the difference unless you have a massive TV, theres a large portion of low resolution textures through the whole game so a lower resolution might mask them a bit.

What do you think?? Jesus H Christ.

It's a valid question, the game doesn't natively render at 1080p so it may look better or worse, it just depends on how it's scaled.

As an answer to the question: it'll look about as good on either, you're not missing anything.

It's not a valid question though is it. Is it just me that can see what is happening here? Must be.

ho massive of a tv are we talking about. mine is 42 inch. probably mid ranged.

ah shoot hold on... my copy chooses to run at 720p though. but in the back it says 1080p is supported...

i will see to it... probably i will have to manually choose 1080 in the settings and uncheck 720p like in cod4.

Nope, it will run in 1080p even with 720p checked.

I can confirm that.

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
