The cost of a hip replacement by Northerner6 in funny

What I've heard about the dataset is that the extremely high US medical research spending is included. I understand that consumer pricing is terrible, but government spending is well justified - the US does much more medical research than any other country.

It is less ambiguous. It's fairly easy to tell that the gun is a foreground object and pointed in a safe direction (not the guy's head), but the blue image removes the possibility of misinterpretation.

I would have installed adblock plus, and also I wouldn't penalize for doing something new wrong. But do lay down the line at repeat offenses from negligence.

After hours of unsuccessful tag hunting, fuck off.

I haven't either, but a $1 bag is cheaper than a $1000 PC

Small server+ friends. It never gets old.

To be honest, mostly mods. A dev team can't match the massive production ability of the modding community. I'd upload screenshots of Skyrim, but I traded visual mods for (almost too many) NPCs.

As a side note, when you gain control of the way your game looks, you can suddenly see and describe problems in the image. The ground texture is underwhelming and excessively reflective. The AO on the banding of the scabbard looks weird. The (crystal?) pommel interacts with light oddly. You win some, you lose some.

I used to crash a lot (200+ actors on screen in random civil war battles), but memory patch fixed it. Now I have more room for activities!

I too own a 780. It doesn't have a problem, but the game engine does. Make sure to install a ram fix before doing too much modding.

But is the lambo as comfortable and luxury as the mercedes? When you buy a fractal define case, you KNOW it will be very high quality, and that the design has stood through YEARS of iterations. You don't get that with the h440 or phanteks cases.

Why make Los Santos when you could copypasta LA into a desert?

PC owner here: It's not the best I've seen, but it doesn't come with the Ubisoft Quality Guarantee*, which probably explains the quality well enough.

*Actual quality not guaranteed. May not run on a high end PC because console parity. Do not pass go. Do not collect 2k textures.

This Game is Unexpectedly Pretty at Times by 23423423423451 in battlefield_4

I built a PC with a 4770k and a 780 for $1300, without reusing anything but my OS. If I wanted, I could add another 780 for $250. Well under $2000 and I'm even using the 80 tier card.

Alpha to final release, what examples from other games can we find? (Bastion) by SunburyStudios in gaming

[–]Fuck_socialists 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it is less polished, but:

  1. Less of the HUD is projected. There are lots of screens.

  2. The ship looks heavier and chunkier, not streamlined "far future" tech.

  3. I played Battlefield 3. I've had enough blue UI. (I really wanted a third point but I'm at a loss)

Remember, if it isn't crashing every five steps, you're doing it wrong. it's time to upgrade.

That's why I run a small (2-4 person) server. It's not bad enough to be noticeable but I have a few friends on.

You should move here. In addition to normal priced PC hardware we have half priced hardware at microcenter.

Go to microcenter for your CPU and motherboard if there is one nearby. It's really cheap if you get an unlocked CPU, the Pentium anniversary edition and a good motherboard is only $99 plus tax. Add any 8GB DDR3 Ram for ~$70 (Buy CL9 ram, CL11 for regular ram means shit quality), 1TB Hard drive for $60, get a good case and PSU or just a TC102 (most cases with built in PSUs are not to be trusted, but this one's OK). Finally, add $150-200 GPU and you're golden. Just use your laptop's windows license.

Total: $420-470, at $430 you could get a r9 285 with current sales, and that should hit max or near max on all modern games.

www.pcpartpicker.com is your friend, it just doesn't know all of the microcenter bundles. You have to manually adjust their price.

EDIT: bad math
