    Battleship: The film

    In your dreams, there is a reason his last name is old man :P. Though the plot is cliche in that there is an underachieving officer who could be so much more (almost an ode to Behind Enemy Lines) I am sure the action scenes will make up for it. They should have got Michael Bay to direct.

    Battleship: The film

    Liam Neeson is the best actor ever. All you gotta do is kidnap his daughter and he will rock your world. I though the trailer was rather shoddy but I'll still watch it to see my hero in action.

    FancyCache

    I don't know about textures popping in but as I often alt+tab out of game loading back in is much faster now and the models do not take long to load from their low-poly state which before would take up to a minute to remedy itself. I am latest 1.6 RC and had to disable that mod for the time being as it crashes the game. To set it up ( Volume ) Simply select the volume the game is installed on. Set how much you want your cache size to be ( level 1 is RAM ) and then click on the start caching button.

    FancyCache

    Running with 8 of 16GB RAM allocated to the program. Now running ArmA 2 at 6km view distance max settings (Except Post-Processing, didn't want to puke from the blur) no lag or stuttering on my system.

    Gun politics

    Here in the US where you have to go through a nutroll in most states to get the right to carry I would imagine most people don't pay ~$250 just for the right to carry a firearm legally on their body to use it in an illegal manner. So the vast majority of conceal carry permit holders are law-abiding citizens and will only use their weapon for what it is intended for: self defense and self defense only. On the contrary most of the people I have met that carry in my area are level-headed law-abiding citizens that carry for their own protection. While there may be better ways to reduce violence it is a sure sign that conceal carry laws work when the only places left with high violence crime are those places without right to carry. Being afraid of a national conceal carry is ludicrous. If everyone was armed and for the right reasons the only people that would have to worry are the criminals. Where I live it has gotten to the point where criminals specifically target areas with gunbuster signs ( no lawfully obtained conceal carry weapon holders allowed ) because the likelihood of anyone having a firearm is substantially less then elsewhere.

  8. Solar Panels are not a viable source. What would be is having a wind farm next to a solar farm. That way if the sun is out there is the power of the sun to make steam and run a turbine.

    No, people in the African countries have a hard enough time fighting themselves in their own countries.

    180 turn animation for AI

    The bladed stance is good for accuracy though if you are wearing body armor + plates if you get shot it is much better to give your armor a chance to do its job and save you from having a round tumbling around in your body. What the more modern "squared" stance you can engage targets to your weak/support side more quickly without changing your footing and you don't suffer as much from losing your ability to engage accurately if you decide to engage during a mag transfer.

    Bin Laden Is Dead

    Working with such extremes there cannot even be a bad guy because even the worst of people have some redeeming qualities otherwise no one would tolerate their presence. Without the bad guy there are still good people doing good things you don't even think about. Ever seen a person stop their car at a wreck to see if they can help even though they could easily pass by? Your view on this subject seems so cynical that it either has to be magic healing for fame or poison clouds for infamy for it to count in your books.

    Bin Laden Is Dead

    Can I get a ticket for the roller coaster of crazy you are riding on? Of course it is a matter of perception but the difference between good and bad is that a good person may seek a peaceful resolution to the situation such as protest/speech. A bad person starts blowing shit up and that is exactly what Osama bin Laden did. That you would hold a blinder to your eyes and say it is just a matter of perception must be a grand sort of ignorance to live in.

    DCS: A-10C Warthog

    I haven't tried the new patch but I was very disappointed that after all of the "It will be released when its done" bullshit they ended up releasing the game with more bugs then I actually experienced in Beta 1 through 4. However with quick updates they have managed to fix many of the major bugs including an effects.dll error that caused the game to crash when things blew up. You can imagine how much of a hair puller that was in a game where you blow crap up. There are still some issues with the game such as headings calls for inbound aircraft to airfields ( notably Batumi ). Also wacky things like rolling on mud for 1-5 seconds at a reasonable speed will cause your wheels to blow at 120+ kias. But all in all it is a great game that can leave you with a buzz not experienced since fulda gap scenarios in the 80's.

    Answers 1. Yes the user files area is where you can find pretty much everything though people post updates on the forums. 2. Yes supports dedicated and private hosting. Though from what I have heard you have to purchase a separate key to be able to run your server to be seen on the ED Net browser.

    Funniest ebay auction

    There is a lot more stuff in that auction now that were donated. Read down near the bottom. 12500 is pretty cheap for the grab bag that has been added. Plus the Q & A section will make you piss in a wetsuit..if you have one on.

    Funniest ebay auction

    It has not been pissed in. Furthermore he bought the suit for £300 and even with the 90% to charity is going to grab £1,250 pounds from the sale ( current bid 12500 ). Pretty good profit margin there.
  19. If it did not have OFP in its title I would care about as much as I do about their racing games. I do not own any racing games. A jolly hoorah oscar mike to everyone, and a happy new year.
  20. Considering that authentic and realistic (realism) are synonyms...no.

    Battle: Los Angeles Trailer

    The events of "Black Hawk Down" occured within a 48 hour window. Though the human body can be pressed in such extremes and when dealing with an alien invasion anything to win the war would be on the plate ( Including sending exhausted soldiers in to kill more commie alien bastards ).
  22. 3d =/= cgi. 3d = 3d. Personally I don't care because all the movies I get end up in 2d on my screen. Put on your (3d) glasses.

  24. An alternative method is to start the game with a command file instructions by Frederf: Purpose: A completed .CMD file serves as a "shortcut" to launch arma2oa.exe with the necessary commands for mods, attributes, etc. Benefits: The .CMD file format is easily editable and modular. There is no limit to the length of the command line in a .CMD file, unlike a standard Windows shortcut field. Here's my example: Code: set OAPATH=C:\Games\ArmA 2\ set ATR=-noIntro set MODS=@ACE;@ACEX;@ACEX_SM;@CBA;@DAC;@GL4;BAF;Expansion; "%OAPATH%\arma2oa.exe" -mod=%MODS% %ATR% The first three lines are setting variables, OAPATH, ATR, and MODS. The fourth line is the execution line that combines these variables. This is a simple example, but imagination and need are the only limits to this method.

    DCS: A-10C Warthog

    The most satisfying feeling a man can have is that of sitting in the A-10C cockpit while the gun is roaring just beneath you. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP Just wish I could get GBU-38's to actually drop and kill something.
