All you have to do is buy a copy on US Ebay and have it shipped here .... too easy. Or better yet, the gay classification (or lack thereof) makes it almost legitimate for us to pirate/torrent the game

stalker will be good.

i think so also

Based on what?

That its been in development for 5 years?

using out dated technology?

Got Alpha demo!

look @ steam when the source code was 'stolen' it went back into development for 3 years

But it will have outdated gameplay mechanics.

It doesn't do anything new.

by the statement doesnt do anything new is just plain silly look @ the amount of people still playing quake games and ET they dont do anything new there built on solid game play of CTF and whatever ET's gameplay is capture and hold

i still have the Alpha demo it was solid and the movie that i saw of stalekr just then hosted @ GA still looks ok

but if you dont like it thats fine just dont buy it and start complaining how they should of done this and that

Finally got vista installed, but the funny thing is i didnt do anything different.

I had the first half on my 74gig raptor for xp, then the last half broken into 3 pieces - 15g for Ubuntu, 7gig a swap partition, then a free 7 gigs...

Installed vista on the last partition and it worked...

Basically doing not what they recommend to do - to have all the os's up the front of the partition blocks.

Once it was in (in the small 7 gig space) i had to delete the middle 2, and resize vista to take over....

Now ive got 30gig fer xp, and 30 for vista :domokun:

cool

Fraps is a sweet program - will make a 3rd MajorTangles BF2 fraps video soon (first 2 are linked in the sau games discussion section; 1st one didnt work out that well, 2nd one is funny IMO), will do it on shock paddle kills for say 50% and the other 50% would be footage of a variety of say a minimum of 4kill efforts.

Ok Madaz, that must mean that commodores and falcons are the best cos people keep buying them.

CSS is boring plain and simple. It was good 7 years ago, but i've since gotten bored of it and have been playing other games.

I'm sure stalker will be a confident game but it will offer nothing new to the genre, as has been the case for many years now. And there is nothing on the horizon that suggests that will change.

Gaming really has become boring since the playstation era.

Thats really a personal thing. I never got into ps much, but my friends had em, and i played em. TBH the only game i ever got into was gran turismo...

I need at least 2 or 3 games to play at the same time cos i get bored too easy..

I don't think it's a personal thing.

Gaming has lost all originality since the playstation era. Sure there have been a few new franchises but almost everything is a sequal.

There really hasn't been many significant gameplay changes for a while now, but then again, do games need innovation to be fun? Have you picked up and played a Wii for any amount of time?

I've recently gotten back into RTS's with the release of Supreme Commander but I really don't see any major gameplay innovations for a sequel that was released 10 years after the original, it is still a lot of fun though!

I just want more titles like Okami, Loco Roco, we love katamari, etc, etc.

I've been gaming for 18 years or so now and i just find it the same old thing.

I took the company PS3 home the other night, and it really wasn't all that interesting. It doesn't do anything that can't already be done.

And GT HD is shocking, it's the same as GT1 only with better graphics.

Unfortunatly old bastards like myself (gaming for 20 years +) and yourself have seen pretty much everything thats been around. Back to the old Atari 2600...:D

Nothing new in terms of genre of gaming has been released up until recently with the Wii and its wave your arms around like your being attacked by a swarm of bees type games....

If you find something u like rpg, fps, etc...its always "how could they make this better" type of thing not "what can we do that hasnt been done before...?"

call me ignorant but i think the whole m$ and xbox thing is a piece of shit. I dont consider myself a fan of either of the "big two" in gaming consoles either. ps3 is more of a hard core console and I think its biggest titles and developments in features will be realised in the future when developers get used to its SDK environment. The new metal gear looks so cool.

All three consoles will have great titles, thats why i have about 20 different consoles.

Some games i can only get on certain platforms so it's not the manufacture that sways my gaming habbits, it's the games.

So as long as good games come out on ps3, 360, and wii i will continue to buy them.

after owning an original ping pong machine in the late 70's, a Commodore 64 through the 80's, Pentium in the early 90's, Nintendo, Playstation and Playstation 2, plus a full deck Pentium now........... I dont think Id ever get back into a console machine for gaming, a good PC does it all in my opinion.

as far as games go, console games are too expensive. Only played two games in the past 18 months both of them being online games 1st was day of Defeat: Source for 3 months, plus 40mins only of Counter Strike: Source (hate it, what a terrible game full of free hacks), but the past 850hours of gaming Ive spent on Battlefield 2. What an awesome game, every round there is something 'different' to do or try out.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
