Really? I've heard a lot of crappy reviews of Zen, backed up by my friend's Zen right out of the box single-handedly destroying his comp.

Exactly, graphics. I'm not sure whether this thread meant video performance or "graphics processing", but even that is important for immersion.

Video games can be a outlet from real life, designed to stimulate the brain and senses. Our visual, hearing, and feeling (rumble, or wii-mote, or buttons, anything with control) are all senses that help us immerse ourselves. Graphics are definitely important and effective in immersing a player into the game's atmosphere/world.

I like the sheer amount of XP you need to level, because it provides some length to the new expansion challenge.

That would be cool. However they might not do that until you make your sig smaller. (which is very pretty btw.)

Really impressed so far. WoW is fun again to me. They changed a lot of sounds, and the composer stepped up the effort a little as far as soundtrack.

bought it. gonna d/l the update patch before i install.

Xenogears- Pillar of Salt. NOW. I don't know if you already heard it. It might be more than like, two years old. Actually I'm sure of it. But yeah I second Dragonsong.

well I added a couple phrases to the Set Sail wip.

So compared to the original world's continents, how big is outland? Is it as big as one of the original continets? Twice as big? Smaller? I'd like to know.

Not exactly, but I know when I started out as the littlest nooblet, the rapid feedback really helped me out. The eons and eons it takes to upload wips is .

whoops hair needs to be crazier

-Welcome to the Official 24 Thread. This thread is about the show, 24, on FOX network. It is so good that I feel it deserves a discussion thread on it. I know and hope a lot of you watch this show. Spoilers: So first off lemme kick it off by saying wow. Though it's usual of 24, the two hour premier tonight was beyond intense. And it is the first time I've cringed at a regular broadcast in a long time (hint: knife slowly glides in through kneecap). Lots of new people here. I like the new president Palmer, but I absolutely hate his adviser, Tom. He's such a dickweed. But it's fiction, so I congratulate him on acting good enough for me to hate him, and for me to call him a dickweed. I was slightly disappointed when Jack was simply "bought" back from China. I didn't understand why China kidnapped him at the end of the last season, and I still don't. Can someone tell me if there was some sort of relevant story content I missed between tonight and last season's finale? Because I know it's fully reasonable that the producers could've thrown in a random Chinese kidnapping to generate interest in the next season. Another thing I don't understand was why the suicide bomber in the end decided to sit in the very back of the last sub car. Sure it's for continuity's sake, but they could've spent a little more time on that concept and had Jack take care of him in another way. When I first saw Kal Penn I was like "lol Kumarz." But as the time progressed I was thinking "o no Kumarz : (". Once I let go of Penn's earlier (but awesome) roles in various teenage party movies, I started to become impressed, as he seems to fit his role in this show pretty well so far. End potential Spoilers. So yeah, questions are always answered in the upcoming episodes, but I'd like to use this as a speculation thread. Let us 24 viewers rejoice in a new season. Jack Bauer is a true American hero, and I sorta wish he kept the rugged facial hair.

I have work, school, and a social life to boot. I also have time to play WoW.

Saaaaaaame

This looks cool. Really digging the VGLogs idea.

I like this thread.

This may not fit, but truly epic: Nightwish- Ghost Love Score Nightwish- Creek Mary's Blood

Just played Elite Beat Agents on my friend's DS, trying to conquer the Good Charlotte song for a whole hour on a bus ride. Still haven't. Closing comments= Holy shit that game is FUN.

I have no doubt that somebody from OCR will be the winner. Be it BliNd or Zircon or SGX

I actually love the bassline that plays out the Bond melody at around 1:40. It seems to be at a good volume with a good amount of grittyness. Overall this is really high energy. Gotta teach me how to do those beats sometime.

Welcome back! Glad you made it home safely. Don't worry about the nerds/losers trying to ruin the thread. So how long were you there? Any scary experiences that you'd be willing to reflect on?

I liked it.

these are just introductions to intro sections... http://blizihizake.googlepages.com/Midna.mp3 -Midna's Desperate Hour http://blizihizake.googlepages.com/SS2.mp3 - Set Sail 2 which one sucks less? I just got a comp that can use my new samples so forgive me if it doesn't sound too good.

Bump for great justice. I hope I make it to hear the show goin down. Your show has always been awesome stuff.
