xen remake is not released yet so we have a perfectly good excuse :smiley:

Oh god the memories

Fuck

Got this baby for £100 in the end. I have my current gpu and a Phenom II processor to sell, so if I get good prices on those I’ll be basically be breaking even :smiley:

Got this baby on the cheap too! To replace my 18-55 kit lens. The guy selling it said it had a stiff barrel and some dust inside the lens. And after some inspection, I’d say he greatly over exaggerated both of these. For my usage, the lens is just perfect. Because of these so called issues, I got it for the filthy cheap price of £35!

Think next time I’ll start another ‘pimp your’ thread or, a ‘look what I just bought’. This kinda thing doesn’t belong in ‘show off your everything’ I feel, despite the name. That’s an art thread now.

I took apart an old computer I had and found some pretty old sticks of RAM I was able to salvage. I know that DDR2 is pretty expensive nowadays, how much would 2 32mb sticks of PC100 SDRAM go for? If there are people that could even use them anymore.

DDR2 was expensive, but then last time I looked it had dropped in price again. SO I maxed out on DDR2, set until my next major overhaul xD

Me too, someone I know gave me 4GB of DDR2 RAM for free, so now I’m at 6GB. That’s plenty for the moment.

My PC is now at it’s absolute limit. With that graphics card, I’ll be on one of the best cpu and gpu the old girl can handle without a new mobo. Which means new ram too. literally, the only thing I can do is change my 2x2x2x2gb into 4x4x4x4gb. Which isn’t needed.

And it’d cost you an arm and a leg too.

Porkchops is a funny word.

There’s a business here with a sign that says, in brightly colored letters, CASH 4 TITLES. One of these days I’m going to look at it and not misread it.

Been looking up alpha videos of earlier builds and trailers of SoC.

Looks pretty good for a build made in 02.

Also looking up vids of lost alpha, demonstrations and stuff and god damn it looks like it’s gonna be amazing

I remember how shocked the internets were about how great Stalker looked when they first showed videos of it. They didn’t htink it was possible on hardware of the day. Then when it came out everyone complained about it looking old…

Holy shit, the guy who made Metro 2033’s engine is the same guy who made STALKERS engine?

4A has a lot of people that used to work at GSC.

looking at old build videos is really starting to make some things about SoC make sense.

Most of the weapon models and textures for them in the final game seem to be the same ones from like, 2003.

That’s it, I’m out. I thank the community for it’s awesomeness and for the BM team for providing this forum. This is Xaeleep, signing off.

No it’s not.
