the only cpu fan i recommend is the hyper 212+ models. the evo's the one available now. if you're in a normal case and it's not a skinny one, that's what i'd go for. otherwise, the stock intel/amd fan is pretty decent for most uses.

sona/blitz is a damned steamroller on URF mode. i have had first blood and 20+ kills every single time, and topped 1000 ap pretty easily in one game last night =)

honestly, i feel like x-2 gets the same crap that xiii got. bad initial reviews led to people actively avoiding it when it wasn't really that bad. i played it and enjoyed it. admittedly not as much as other games in the series, as it's super anime and not really my thing, but the battle system was fun, and viewing spira again was a positive.

seconded. that's a great deal. the best are yate loons, but those are darn good. as long as you stick with bigger fans - ie, no 80/90 mm fans - you're fine.

leave the troll alone, he clearly has no idea what he's talking about and is just picking a golden calf to sacrifice for his trashy article.

it was way out of date, and there's not enough traffic to warrant it. you're bored anyways, just read the last few pages. or buy a computer from me.

i haven't been online yet, what is it?

i wrote the word "pants" into a text document a few times, saved it as awesome.mp3, and submitted. HEAR THE WORD OF JOODGANATOR. edit: a resubmit got me this gem:

haven't seen any of what you're talking about. compared to other remasters - the fable and halo reworks comes to mind - this game hits the double whammy of standing up to the test of time, and also looking fairly good while doing it. the up-close scenes aren't as good as others, but comparatively speaking fable and halo look terrible, whereas this still looks pretty good (notably in battle scenes). great idea picking the controversy score, though, that always gets people talking. in other news, yes, it is possible to modify a save (you don't even need a hacked PS3, i could have done this on a vanilla one). it's really roundabout, and you have to use a japanese tool that no one can decipher (not even joking, i had to look at a picture to read it), but it's doable. unfortunately, the options are limited - i don't appear to be able to key up my stats for one battle (dark valefor) to get into besaid, and then drop them down again. additionally, i can spawn in besaid temple and get the sphere, but i can't leave - leaving the temple puts you out entering besaid, not in the town. the game doesn't see a difference there. and there's no way yet that i can just push a button and get all the temple treasures marked as completed (turns out i was missing zanarkand, not macalania). so the search continues.

i would rather to just go through the end-game, and ignore anima completely. i'm pissed because i really like that aeon, and she's so darn good. lesson learned: use a guide, and don't assume you remembered everything from 2005 when you played it last. i remembered about energy burst about an hour outside of besaid, but decided not to go back.

so i forgot to get the energy blast upgrade from besaid when i left, and the two temples i didn't use the destruction sphere in were besaid and macalania. surprise, the dark aeons guard these specific areas and prevent you from getting anything from then until you fight them. the easiest, dark valefor, has 800k HP and stats in the hundreds. this means i cannot get anima (or, by extension, magus sisters) unless i spend 20 hours grinding stats in the monster center, OR spend ten hours paying yojimbo through the nose to murderface besaid island fiends to get my compatibility up. then, i have a 1/4 chance of him using zanmato on dark valefor and dark shiva. while i like the addition of superbosses to the game (i felt there wasn't enough high-end material in the original version, although i didn't get into it), i wish that they were optional in regards to the majority of the game. right now, i'm screwed out of 25% of the summons, unless i grind everything forever and ever until my stats are triple what they are now. if anyone hears of a trainer (my game is legit, but my PS3 can run homebrew) or anything, that'd be fantastic. don't care what it does as long as i can turn it off after disposing of those two dark aeons.

weird, i've never had a problem with newegg, but i've only bought components from them in the past. just got past the mt. gagazet boss fight (spoilers). i remember this fight being easily the hardest fight in the game last run-through, but i beat it so handily this time that i didn't use wakka by accident and he didn't get the SP =P additionally i'm maxing out aeon damage literally as soon as i'm getting them. i don't know if they buffed yuna or something, but some of the generic enemies seem harder than the bosses in this one so far. (/spoiler) additionally, i forgot just how...annoying the post-gagazet enemies are. i just don't want to fight them...i want to get to the airship again and be able to recruit and blitz and get all the big weapons and be done with this phase, which is clearly the one that is the longest/most boring in the game. lastly, anyone who complained that FFXIII was too linear is an imbecile and hasn't looked at their games recently. this entire game has been a straight line - far more than what FFXIII was, honestly - and people eat this shit with a spoon, whereas FFXIII gets the short end of the stick. granted the storyline exists in this one, whereas 13's storywriter must have put storyline concepts into a shotgun and fired it onto the script, but in terms of gameplay and level design i'd compare the two favorably in a heartbeat.

got it a couple days ago and it works fine. still selling my card... =)

you forgot about soraka support and katarina mid.

you forgot the part where your team only gets a yi on a team already lacking in hard cc, whereas the other team has tons of non-ult hard cc AND lots of damage.

that lee sin video is hysterical =)

13-2, yes. too many letters. i did play 12, and loved the combat system's free-flowing style, but didn't like how unresponsive it was since you could move your dudes around. i'm fine with being locked into a sequence - i just don't want the ten-second transition between the 'real world' and the fight.

haven't seen a lot of people on lately. diablo, titanfall, or ffx dragging you down?

the best battle system i've played with so far in the FF series was in FFXII-2. none of the others comes even close to the flexibility, complexity, or responsiveness. great combination of in-depth theorycrafting for the best combos and twitch to keep you interested and involved, and not just slogging through five million HP using the same couple of abilities. i prefer having to set up my combos in advance far more than just swapping on the fly and you get what you get. the ability to swap instantly between tanks, dps, and support stuff, combined with no long-term damage after each battle, was awesome, and made stuff like grinding something that i wanted to do rather than something that i had to do. [prepares to die] that said, i like the ability to swap party members constantly in ffx, and i like the summon system too. has anyone else lost a few hours in blitzball already?

hmm. goes to show how much i remember.

i remember there being a bar that fills up, not a list on the right side that says when someone's going to attack. or am i missing an option? don't get me wrong - i like the list better, as i play this at night and am not as fast as i'd like to be because i doze during some of the battles

oh, what a waste of quota =(

i got a copy of the normal version but haven't played it yet as i've been out of town. just got home, see you all in 100 hours =P

update: so now, i'm selling this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130661 for 100$. it's in fantastic condition and still is playing games at high settings and 1080p easily. let me know if you're into it. i can help determine if your PSU can handle it, too (likely can, it's a low-power card for the performance it pipes out).
