it's been sent. waiting for a reply from The Larry.

well, that proves it. stop visiting all those barn porn sites, and your computer will run much faster.

same here

he likes lego universe, doesn't he?

a) that's why they're releasing on the PC first i'm willing to bet that they DO have some super-secret build somewhere c) all mmos suck when they're released, and are in turn way better about a year later

man, make sure you set aside a bit of time for the endgame for ME2, because it's like 3 hours of awesome.

you'd get about 3.3 or so with x86. if you can actually use all 4 gigs, more power to you - but my desktop has 4 gigs with 3 useable, and i've ran out of ram playing games twice. booting into safe mode should give you a list of drivers that it's loading. does it take just as long booting into safe mode? if not, then it's because of one of the 'extra' things that's not MS-certified. go into msconfig, turn off everything on the startup tab (for now), and see if it's still laggy. if it is, start turning off services until you isolate the one that's causing it. then do a google search on what it is, and whether or not you can get rid of it.

seriously. i think people are forgetting that this is a damn beta, for a reason. because shit doesn't work

oh, it's not offensive. well, not to me. very offensive to the people who it refers to. but they don't know we're calling them that. bwah hah hah...

josh, i'm in, right?

do you know where that name came from? there were five of us there, when that name was created. it's an epic story, to all involved. chipp, i've got some stuff laying around if you want to get into it. what style are you looking for, specifically?

i spent a lot of time playing this game, and really enjoyed it. can't play it on the 360, though, you've gotta play on the PC. totally different game. i might have to dig into some of these mods. they look pretty good.

my copy comes tomorrow, per amazon's release-date shipping. i don't even know if i can afford it this month, but i can't pass up what's likely going to be in my online xbox for the next year or so.

no, but your laptop might have either a really poor set of drivers to begin with, or they might not be optimized to run with x64. this might be a dumb question, but with only four gigs of ram, why are you using x64 anyways? i doubt your laptop can go any higher on the ram it's got installed, and it's not like you're gaining much unless you've got a monster discrete video card with tons of VRAM in your laptop (which i doubt with that processor). i'd just stick with x86 regardless in that situation - fewer issues with compatibility.

you wanted updates? well, i'll be sending The Private Message to larry some time tomorrow. you know, the one that includes the link to all the audio, website, and art files. the one that signifies the end of a project

i think this probably isn't going to happen, actually.

when i have updates, i'll pass them along =)

lol !

i'll be honest when i say that the reason i listed to dream theater is for portnoy and petrucci. with portnoy gone...that's a big deal, for me.

i'll likely do a christmas song this year. i just don't know if it'll be a game song or not. probably not, since i pass them to my family.

of course, you could always just get dbPowerAmp, and let it convert literally every audio format to every other format. i think i've got converter packs for 65 formats, now, maybe more. it also modifies your mouseover info box, so when you mouseover an mp3 file it shows the tag, length, and everything else. oh, and it adds a right-click command to auto-convert whatever you want. yeah, the command-line version is probably better.

damn, i was late. it's an octatonic scale, pretty clearly, and it's refered to as the "3 4" octatonic scale. there are three scales - 1 2 (root is C#, starts with a half-step), 2 3 (root is C and starts with a whole-step), and 3 4 (root is C#, starts with a whole step)- depending on whether the scale starts on C or C# (eventually, you have to wrap it around until you get a root) and the absolute pitches of the second and third notes. that is, if i remember my post-tonal theory well enough. so, for example, this 3 4 scale would be written as C# D# E F# G A Bb C C#. an interesting note about octatonic - it's the second most widely-used scale that requires the use of both flats and sharps in the same scale, with harmonic minor scales being the most widely-used. as siriusbeatz said, it's basically a scale that can be used over diminished chords (like the ii0 in a ii0 V7 i progression, 2-5-1 in minor). the term octatonic can technically be used with any scale that's based around eight notes plus the octave, so even a major scale with both minor and major 7ths would be octatonic. the tonality created by a whole-half scale, however, is refered to as octatonic exclusively. the scale itself is finding a lot more usage in modern tonal composition, however, as it allows for a more complex-sounding scalar figure than a traditional major or minor scale. unlike traditional seven-note scales, it also allows for two beats of sixteenth notes in a run with the scale ending on the top note, as opposed to the septuplet that is often used for the same figure with major or minor scales.

i'm betting that something's causing a conflict - probably one of those poorly coded proprietary laptop drivers - and that's what's causing the long time. where does it hang in the process? on the windows symbol? or the fancy blue screen that's right before it pops up with the desktop? i usually suggest a reinstall in this type of situation - clean, on a fully formatted drive (none of that fast format crap).

it's worth noting that Thin Crust is one of the most consistent posters in the PS3 thread.
