I only want to play game's the way they're meant to be played.

I totally agree with you. Also, waiting awhile allows you to buy the games at a reasonable price, say 19.99. I will never pay 50 bucks for a game, that's insane when you can just wait six months and get it for half that. So exercising a little patience yields a win-win scenario- beautiful game with smooth frame rates at a cheap price.

huh_ fu^k that, you know what. I could mow 10 lawns in the community and take in 10 bucks each, all within an entire day. That's within 24 hours, ONE DAY. I'll make a hundred bucks. Spend 50 bucks on an Oblivion game and the rest on transportation costs including gasoline for my lawn mower.

You're going to wait 6 months and ASSUME Oblivion, for example, because you mentioned, "that's insane when you can just wait six months and get it for half that."

Retail prices:
Example 1 - FEAR = 50 bucks (out for longer than you've been dreaming)
Example 2 - Battlefield 2 = 50 bucks (almost one year anniversary)
Example 3 - Starcraft for 2 years straight (1998-2000) = 50 bucks (believe it or not)

So let's see, six months includes:
24 weeks.
Each week includes 7 days, so you're waiting 168 days, that's half a year
Each day includes 24 hours, so that's 4,032 hours of waiting you'll be doing.

In 24 hours I will have already obtained a game in which I can play with over 80 FPS at 1280x1024 with very good settings turned up.

So you're telling me that even on highend hardware, I can't play a game with decent settings? You're telling me that Oblivion is going to cost 20 bucks in less than six months from today, or the date it was first released to the public as a full retail product? You are telling me, that it's worth it to wait 4,032 hours for a game to drop from price because you think that everyone owns a weak ass rig like yours? Bi_tch, you better think again, because you are living in a fuc_ken weak dreamworld.

The greatest nation on Earth has kids like you screaming at the top of their lungs because they are too fu_cken LAZY to do a days worth of work and watch every other enthusiast who owns something like an X2 rig and kill Oblivion?

Fifty bucks for a game today, is nothing. Minimum wage was much lower back in the 1980's, and NES games still hit the 50 dollar mark back then.

I guess some price tags aren't meant for everyone.

20fps, acceptable? :laugh: Is my sarcastic meter working?

How can you post this without pics? Man, that's just cruel.

20fps is fine for a slow game like oblivion. If it's a fast paced game like quake4 or CoD2, then you'd definitely need at least 45fps if not 60fps.

Yeah that's nice. Does the 30" apple display have 470CD/m brightness, 1600:1 contrast ratio, glossy screen, and 6MS response time? I think not (loves self's NEC 20WMGX2).


Lol I guess i'm just jealous. Congrats!

first of all. get that ridiculously oversized pictures of your rig removed and replace it with a thumbnail.
2nd. whats your problem even if he's lying. if he were spammin,trolling fine an him. also not everyone can afford 50K rigs. those who can't sometimes like to be in the crowd and sometime lie (exaggerate really).

I'm somewhat agreed with Gagan that fire400 shown us no proof (pictures) that he actually have that ultimate rig posted on his sig so I'm also curious to see your picture of that ultimate rig you have, fire400. I'm not trying to say that you're a liar, it's just that I want to see the proof.

even if I proved it with pictures, it wouldn't prove anything useful in this thread, like fame or glory for that matter, who the hell cares, when you graduate from high school you'll realize in college that you'll stop caring about what other people wear, because you're breaking the bank for your damn rig to play Halo2 and FEAR~ and still trying to hit up gas for the car and paying rent, for example.
"have you ever seen a million dollars?" -is my point.

gagan, go ask for some more hours at your job, you'll be needing it.

I don't think the PD805 part of his sig is a part of his build (the first line of his rig list is the CPU).

Yeah, I find it useful to see the proof of your "super" rig and it's seem you really don't have it. :D
