hmmmm Batman: Arkham Asylum for £5...... to buy or not to buy?

 

[cheesy999]

The SNP didn't totally think through independence though like how would the armed forces be split up or what currency would we use? What about the Nuclear subs at Faslane Naval Base? Didn't explain the the economic balances either like if its actually good for us to leave the union.

you'll be better off economically as you'd get most of the oil, as soon as that starts to run out your F**KED

@FREEDOM: 100% BUY, one of the few games i actually finished last year, spectacular

buy! Buy! Buy!

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Alright. got it orderd. it was cheaper then amazon too.

 

[MightyMission]

absolutely freedom,wicked game!
steam done the game of the year edition for about the same price a few months ago.
if you have a second graphics card to enable the physx on,it really is pretty.

How do you know that? I mean the rest of the UK isn't exactly in a strong position. Most of the Oil is drilled by American companies so i don't see how we profit from that. We are in a good position to offer businesses pretty good opportunity to invest in resources and we have an emerging renewables development market. The UK cant really survive on being a serivce industry any more because most of the wealth and creation is in finance in London and you know what happened when that fucked up.

And you say "us" but you forget N.Ireland and Wales are part of the union.
Im kinda torn myself i dont know if its a good idea to leave or not.

 

[Fourstaff]

We just say "Stick" or "Auto". Trust me we shorten all words to the point they don't even mean the same thing anymore lol

Indeed, Americans call a particular liquid "gas".

We have a devolved parliament but the SNP want a referendum on independence and more powers granted. They should be able to push one through now as they have a majority of seats which they didn't last term.

The SNP didn't totally think through independence though like how would the armed forces be split up or what currency would we use? What about the Nuclear subs at Faslane Naval Base? Didn't explain the the economic balances either like if its actually good for us to leave the union.

Only about 35% of people want independence.

Its surprising to hear someone ask me about it never mind an American! I thought you might be more interested in things like the tea party and that.

EDIT: We dont have to be tied to the pound if we went independent, we could make a new currency or tie a new currency to the US dollar like a lot of countries do.

I am a Tea Party member lol But thats besides the point. My Grandfather was Irish decent and my family came over here as indentured servants (slaves) from Ireland. We have an old beef with King Edward lol. Anyway my Grandmothers side was from Scotland so I try and keep up with my "old countries".

Historically I think you should leave the union. However times are vastly different now then they were.

I got stuck on the Joker fight, i recently played through it as i bought it on steam back when it was on sale. Kinda pumped up for the new game it will be cool to see where they take the format and gameplay to a city environment.

well if you want to stay here you can, we have a very relaxed view on immigration over here

@Kieren, Joker fights reasonably easy, just takes a few goes to perfect your strategy

Naa my family has fought in ever war this nation has been in since before it was a nation. I could never leave her now out of principle.....plus I love guns.

 

[MightyMission]

arkham city looks amazing,i might even pay somewhere near full price for that one!
there are some truly amazing scenes in arkham asylum,most of them involve the mind bending guy,there was one scene in particular i thought my computer had died,as the screen went all mash...you will see!

To be fair its normally us who drags you into them, although occasionally it's the other way around

I might go to America at some point as everythings cheap

are you thinking of SCARECROW

I find it funny when people come over here to work legitimately and fill in a jobs gap in the market and then when people from the UK want to emigrate or retire to places like Spain, Australia or Canada that's fine. I mean i know a few people who went over and worked in Amsterdam and Germany for a while.

Im not saying we dont have a problem with lax immigration but i don't think its fair to section out individuals when they come over here legitimately.

 

[MightyMission]

cheers cheesy! yes thats the fella,i loved the parts where you had to battle scarecrow as it seemed they were the best thought out and most graphically intense too.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Ive got that sorted

but im already planning to get rid of my 2 5850s (again for like the 3rd time after just recently getting crossfired) for a single powerful card. but to match the power of both cards id need something like a GTX580 or 5970. or for an upgrade a 6990.

I can sell both my 5850s for £110-130 each as they have AC Twin Turbo Pro's mounted on them. and at the same time i am aware of some places selling brand new 5850's for under £100. so I'm not real sure at the moment, but even at that price for 2 of the cards. I dont really get much back to put towards a 580, 5970 or 6990

Mailman my family was also historically from Ireland.

What a lot of people don't know is we have higher emigration then immigration in the UK, and a low birthrate + ageing population means we actually need some immigration

Your right its all about balance. Some people just hate out of spite but you need some immigration and i think its fine as long as its done legitimately.

 

[MightyMission]

i dont think you can use physx on amd/ati cards,but i dont know much about the red side
it might be worth digging out any older generation nvidia card above the 8 series though,just for the pretties

on the subject of upgrade cards,i think nvidia is due to release another generation later this year or early next-it might be worth holding on to get a 5 series until then...my 470s were 240 this time last year,now 160,next year it will probs be <100!
cheesy yea i know i use a pair of 470s but freedom mentioned having ati/amd cards..hence my mention.

 

[cheesy999]

the red side is AMD/ATI, as a Nvidia user i can tell you the physics works really well, even on my gts 250 it ran quite well

EDIT: lol, look what just turned up in my google reader

DOUBLE EDIT: New Nvidia's are the 28nm in november

 

[MightyMission]

haha how that got past a proof reader i will never know...maybe they were err otherwise occupied..gurgle choke slurp

No. You need to be banging your women more and reduce outsiders.

 

[MilkyWay]

Physx doesn't work on ati cards, you need a hack i think to get a second nvidia card to work as the physx card with an ati card.
IMO its not worth it unless you already have a nvidia card.

No. You need to be banging your women more and reduce outsiders.

If you had seen some of the women here you would want to bring in more "outsiders". See you live in sunny Florida, i live in a dreary urban shithole with council houses.

It can be done in Win 7 with a little effort and messin about. There is a huge thread on it somewhere.
