A guy is pumping gas and out of nowhere a tire runs over him going very fast. Caught by the gas station security camera. A must see because I don't think this would ever happen twice.

"Can anyone give me $17,500? I'll...be your friend!"

"According to Nvidia, a node can achieve up to 64x full scene anti-aliasing (FSAA), deliver a performance of up to 148 megapixels on 16 synchronized digital-output channels and eight HD SDI channels. The firm says that the fill rate reaches 80 billion pixels/s while the geometry performance is rated at seven billion vertices/s."

My god! I couldnt even afford the electric bill for this let along the acutal machine but my mind is still trying to figure out how to afford it. None of my ideas would acutally work but I'll keep trying to figure it out for the next 3 years. ...yeah I know, I have problems!

More uses for my expensive ass controller!

Though I only paid $100 for the Steel Battalion controller and game which is HALF what it retailed for, it's still a heafty price for a controller that only works with 2 games total. Probably thinking the same thing, somebody figured out how to make this beast work with PC games using a USB to Xbox port adapter. I wondered if it were possible to use it with a PC since that would be ideal with the glut of simulator type games available for the PC. So far it looks that the adaption works very well with other PC mech games. I wonder if it will work with ANY game, ie it just maps buttons to keyboard keys. There might be some game types other than mech games that would be pretty good with it (flight sims, etc).
