That is a pity. What do you do in your spare time nowadays? You don't have any? You are too tired? It is better to play good game that watch tv or something like that. Games evolved and some of them are really incredible... You should try again...

You might want to quote the person you are talking about, so that people understand who it was meant to. Tongue
Yeah, it kind of now seems you are talking with yourself.  Cheesy

Btw. who is the person with the most positive feedback you have seen? (Also negative?)
TradeFortress has received a lot of negative feedback after the incident.

Just started Deus Ex - Human Revolution today. I heard that is pretty kewl game, gonna check it out ;-)
Played it. Pretty fun indeed. The levels aren't linear so there multiple paths you can take to get to a specific place.
5805  Other / Off-topic / Re: Any ps3 emulators? on: February 19, 2014, 09:58:35 PM
The only reason I bought a ps3 recently was because of the last of us and it was worth every $ I spent I have played around about 6 times now.
For me it really doesn't seem worth it. No game will. It'll probably take at least 40 really good games to buy any console. PC gaming is the way to go and only one game won't change this statement.

One of the reasons I was looking for a emulator I wouldn't play many other games on the console and would probably end up in selling it after I get bored of the game maybe the developers are planning on making a pc version of the game.
There is no emulator that will properly emulate PS3 games at this time.  PC's aren't powerful enough to emulate the PS3, and won't be for years to come.  It was only recently that PC's became fast enough to emulate the PS2 well, and the PS2 is (obviously) far behind what the PS3 is capable of.

My advice is this:  Buy a used PS3, and a used copy of The Last Of Us.  Play through it, then sell it all again.  You won't lose much, if anything, if you don't save it for long.

TL;DR version for everyone, Current PC power is too low to fully emulate PS3 games. Stop searching.

Really? I don't know much about console or PC gaming but I find that hard to believe.
Think about it this way.  Emulators cannot use a computer's GPU chip.  It uses the CPU to do both CPU work AND graphics rendering.  The PS2/PS3/PS4 has a dedicated graphics chip for handling graphics.  Until the CPU is fast enough to emulate what the built-in graphics chip does on the console, it cannot render those games properly.  And CPU's are generally TERRIBLE at rendering graphics in the first place because they aren't special built for the purpose (and no, the built-in GPU on the latest core processors can't be used for emulation either).

So, emulators use sheer CPU bruteforce to emulate graphics that would be much more efficiently emulated on a GPU made for the purpose.

It's like using a sail to get a car down the dragstrip instead of an engine.  If you have a big enough sail, you might be able to go faster than a Ford Model T, but you're still not going to be competing with modern vehicles that have the proper propulsion for the application.

Even high end gaming PCs? I imagined you could build yourself a PC to the specs you wanted, far surpassing any consoles?
The specs surpass a console, sure, but remember that you're not running the console's code, you're emulating it.  If you built your own console that could run PS3 code directly, you could blow the visual quality of it out of the water.  But a computer is not capable of running PS3 code directly, only of emulating what the PS3 is doing.  An emulator takes each bit of code for a game, and says "ok, if I was a PS3, what would I do with this?"  This happens in real-time, and only using the CPU, not the GPU.  Because it cannot use the GPU, the graphics are difficult and slow to render.  It is way, way, way, way less efficient than running the code directly on the console, which is why even the highest-end computers couldn't emulate the PS2 until a few years ago, and why today's highest-end computers aren't even close to being powerful enough to emulate the PS3 yet.

Another way to look at it is our modeling of the physical world around us.  Scientists can emulate a brain's neural network, but it takes hours to emulate a single second of brain activity, even on a huge supercomputer, because computers work differently than our brains.  Brain activity running on brains is really fast, because that's what brains are made for.  Brain activity running on computers is really slow, because that's not what computers are made for.  Likewise, console code running on a console runs fast because that's what the console is made for, but console code running on a computer is slow because the computer has to pretend it is a console, and it's not possible to actually fully utilize all of the hardware that a computer can offer.
So soon we might be able to emulate more primitive brains? ;

That's interesting to read different opinions about miners's future, furthermore I have another question - How long will it take to generate all the coins to hit 21m bitcoins?

Around 2140 all coins will be mined.

Around 2140 all satoshis will be mined.

The last whole BTC will be mined by 2040.

I'm 65 years old and I might even be still alive in 2040.

It's 2140 not 2040 so a lot of us will not be alive.

I feel you didn't read the post Cheesy
Or maybe he just isn't wise. Anyways, since it decreases by half constantly, we won't really see the difference. The fees will slowly grow.
5807  Other / Off-topic / Re: What will happen when we hit 21 000 000 bitcoins on: February 18, 2014, 09:39:54 PM
Transaction fees will increase in order to compensate them for the work.

One of the draw backs we won't be seeing 21 million Bitcoin in our live times though.
So no need to worry, right? Unless for our children. Grin

I think he have enough o zombies survival games.
In a few months it came out , at least on Steam, tons of games, and the only one that I must admit that is somewhat funny to play is "No More Room In Hell". Its not perfect, but it has lot of potential for being so hardcore and detailed.

But I still prefer the killing machine style of games, like L4D2 and KF, those are way funnier to play at long term.

And for now, I found myself playing once again my favorite Final Fantasy: FFT. I'm taking a look if I can run FFT:WotL(the PSP version) on my galaxy, so I have something to play while not busy in the university Grin
I'd have to disagree, well at least slightly. We need more GOOD QUALITY zpmbie survival games that are finished and polished to some extent rather than the skeletons they're releasing as early access. Also, I'd really love an open world zombie survival game with a good story. Like Fallout but with a zombie theme rather than the nuclear apocalypse.

People are still enjoying this thread
its ZIdiCOlos
and i could see some people are still posting there address without reading a single post.
either mods should delete this thread or we must stop bumping it up again[i'll try not to comment on this thread anymore]... I saw it was down to 3-4 page few days ago, but few members really go down there and bump it up to make fool of themselves
Why?.... Why do people must bump it. It was dead and everyone was happy. But then another dumbass comes along and without reading the thread posts.  Roll Eyes

I think he meant he didn't renew them and they expired.

Oh, then yes, they are worth millions, potentially even billions in the future.
Could be, maybe when dollars are worth the paper they're printed on.

why are you afraid of him if he's 50 and you're 21? Cheesy
Maybe the 50 year old dude is quite bulky and could snap him in half if he wanted to.

Have gone back to Skyrim a few weeks ago, now got back to Fallout 3. After disliking it initially after a few play sessions of around 15 hours, I installed some gameplay mods like Fallout Wanderer's Edition, Mart's mutant mod, Weapon mod kits, RH_IronSights as well as visual enhancements like Fellout and some mod that adds rain and sniw and a few other. Those mods completely changed my opinion about the game. It actually feels like a harsh post-apocalyptic wasteland rather than another green tinted play ground with guns laying around everywhere and where people are as stupid as the mutated creatures.

5817  Other / Off-topic / Re: Is this domain worth anything? on: February 17, 2014, 07:52:28 PM
Looks like another short domain. So unless it gets traffic, it ain't worth more than you can buy a .co domain for.
5818  Other / Off-topic / Re: Any ps3 emulators? on: February 17, 2014, 07:50:02 PM
Even if you get a working emulator, you'll still need a beefy rig since they eat uo resources pretty fast.

Hackable, so that won't work.

There is always a risk to be hacked when you connect to the internet.
Maybe you prefer some of the offline password managers?

yeah, NO Cheesy

such small earnings..

0.0001$ per 5 word text, I would earn more from paid to click websites Cheesy
.0001$ seriously... so 50k words for 1$ :p if my calculation is not wrong.
That seems to be the deal.
Let's just say I'm not exactly convinced. Haha
Yeah, you can earn way more discussing interesting topics with others here rather than spamming there.
