I've not counted how many cores/threads I'm crunching.. I'll try and get that in soon.

EDIT: OH YEA THANKS FOR THE AWESOME GIVEAWAY!!

 

[AnnCore]

I guess I am the only one who hasn't ever played Batman (OK so I did play Lego Batman, but not sure that counts). Anyways, just Batman for me, if you please and thanks for the giveaway!

Just 8 cores and 8 threads but running 24/7 nonetheless.

 

[adulaamin]

I'm in for Batman: Arkham Origins. I won't be entering for the grand prize.

I liked the whole Jedi Knight series and I think they are the only games I ever played all the way through (maybe Doom 3)

I take it that you've been rocking out with FC4 lately... How good is it?

 

[15th Warlock]

I'm in!

My picks are:

Legend of grimrock
Galactic civilizations
King of fighters xii

And
Far cry 4

Crunching on 24 cores / 48 threads

As for a game to play, I would take my current install folder for TESV Skyrim, never had the chance to finish any of the expansions, and have added so much user created content from steam for that game, that I'm confident it would keep me entertained for decades to come

Kudos to all people who donated for this giveaway, to Matt for hosting it and to all our crunchers, you guys are the best!

 

[Mindweaver]

I take it that you've been rocking out with FC4 lately... How good is it?

I'm an hour into it and I've only scratched the surface. To me it looks better than FC3 and performance seems a lot better as well. I played FC3 in nvidia surround with my GTX680 on medium to high settings and the FPS was around 40, but would drop into the 20's and averaged around 40fps. On FC4 I can play on high, and it averages around 43fps. Some people wouldn't play at 40fps, but to me the immersion factor using Nvidia Surround is amazing.

Good luck to all in winning this great game!

Oh wait I have to add the only negative thing I can say about the game is that you can't skip cut scenes... The first part of the story is around 15 to 20 minutes long and it's really good.. but when it finished I noticed Afterburner wasn't on.. so I alt'ed out and turned it on and then bam.. FC4 stopped working and force closes.. Going back in I had to rewatch the 15 to 20minute cutscene.. it was a good bathroom break.. lol

 

[manofthem]

Thanks @Mindweaver for the insight on the FC4!


Make sure you guys get entered if you haven't yet. I'm hoping to get this giveaway finalized and closed out soon, within the next 2 days or so. I'll post the exact time when it's been settled upon


Til then, keep crunching

 

[theonedub]

I'd like to enter for Batman Arkham Origins and Dead Space 3 only, thank you

I suppose I'd take FFVII with me, although on such a long trip something like Tetris might be good, too.

Reminds me that I need to see Interstellar @ IMAX sometime soon, was supposed to see it on release night but I've been too busy

 

[ChristTheGreat]

I would like to enter the grand prize only! (Which I guess is FC4 and the other one. I would be up for FC4 (still didn't bought it, I am quite short)

The world is ending, the planet dying, you are selected to travel across the universe in search of a new home for mankind.
Your question: What game would you bring on your journey across space and time to play til infinity? Chrono Trigger (SNES), I could play this game 24hr/day,


I have 24 Thread right now if I remember well. Looking for more!!! cause I lost some

Just want to say thanks to you guys for donating, and thanks to all members that crunch!

 

[TRWOV]

Chrono Trigger is my favorite RPG. Only other RPG to ever come close to it in terms of replayability is Tales of Symponia. I think I spent 600 hours on that game polishing my combos. The bad thing is that once you reach LV ** pretty much every opponent is worthless so you have to start a new game.

 

[theonedub]

Still looks open, get your chance to win some great games before its too late.
