Well, if that's all you're looking for then you'll get plenty of chances with UT3, MoH:A, and GoW, plus the stuff that's out now that's running on the engine.

This is a top shot. Master Cheif and the Arbiter. Halo 3 is the close of an awsome trilogy that Bungie created back in 2001. Halo 3 'Finish the Fight'. OMG I wonder what is going to happen, the possibiliteis, will the world end? :shocked: !

Master Chief dies, but he kills the final Covenant boss in the process.
Ridley killed herself to kill the last of the Xenomorphs.
Sampson killed himself to take out a bunch of Philistines.
Harry dies in order to seal Voldemort's fate.

I just connected a third monitor to my screen. Huzza!

Have a look!

The smaller one to the left will be replaces by a 1600*1200 lcd screen when I get back to my appartment with my computer. The middle and right one are connected to a 6800gt APG card with two connectors, and the left one to an old ATI PCI card.

I guess four screens is the next step. :razz: If I could get my hands on a free monitor I'd probably go for it.

EDIT:

Here's a shot of what my setup looks like.

Gotta protect my msn contacs privacy hehe ;D

I think most people that do mapping/photo editing/modelling etc would benefit from having at least two monitors. Hammer on one monitor and a tutorial or forum on the other, photoshop on one screen and all the panels on the other, etc. Plus you feel extra geeky which is great. :biggrin:

I love how I feel surrounded by monitors. If I had a more powerful PC, and happened to find a crappy monitor for free I could use the forth monitor for displaying MilkDrop visulizations all the time. Ahhh, the possibilities...

You fools, little do you realize that whale farts are the leading cause of global warming!

But seriously, whether or not it's GW is real, we can spare a few kilowatts.

Do we really need global warming as a motivation to reduce the amount of poisenous gas that is pumped in our environment? Look at a place like Beijing. Those athletes will drop dead after running 100 meters through that smog next year.

I think the only useful way of reducing the energy consumption at home us turning of "standby" modes when you don't really use them. That's like... 50%? of the total energy used in an average household.

The BioShock demo came out - but only for Xbox live.

IMHO a big, stinking middle finger pointed towards PC gamers like me. We made you big, Irrational, we made you big!

Say hello to PC tutorials referring to a "shoulder button" and stupified, oversized interfaces. I hope so much that I'm wrong, though :sad:

"Guys, the PC demo is simply not ready. The pc development was always a bit behind because we had more time to finish things (no submission to MS). The PC game will therefore have a bit more polish (and a couple more features like turning off loot highlight options) that 360 doesn't have.

It'll be out as soon as possible."

Welcome to 1985

________________________________

Maybe it's just me being jealous of people with Shader Model 3.0 cards (which Bioshock needs) but the PC-version complaints are already starting:

No Anti-Aliasing

Picture cut off on widescreen monitors

Bad control settings affecting Mice, which have to be tweaked in a hidden default.ini (Deus Ex 2 deja-vu)

...and it comes with spyware that even gets blocked by AVG. Now that's nice!

If someone complains that I'm just picking forum posts (which were linked to from news posts) - I would love to give the game a try with low GFX settings just to get a taste of the gameplay but they didn't bother adding support for SM2.0.

I loved System Shock 2. I trust the team to make this a mind-blowing game but I'm afraid I have to prepare for a major dose of consolitis. I can't believe that the XBox 360 focus won't affect the gameplay as well, ignoring some PC-specific features for the interface, the higher resolution etc.

It should be a great game, yes, but Irrational has been bought by by the console lobby.

Well, we still have Valve :sad:

UbiSoft has released: Ghost Recon, Far Cry, Prince of Persia Sands of Time, and Rayman Raving Rabbids for free (Ad Supported :sad: ). All that is required is a US Ubi.com account.

Also, EA has released Command & Conquer Gold for free in celebration of C&C's 12th anniversary. Though, I don't think it has any ads (thankfully).

As far as I know it's in-game, like billboard type stuff. To be honest, though, I already own all the games, so I haven't checked these out. Why don't you check for us?
