EGS/Rochester, NY Area Players Thread ( December 2003 )

It’s cold and I’m not talking about rochester weather, I’m talking about folks home is butt numbing cold since there’s a draft from the windows that weren’t plasticifed this year.

I need to find a place where i can buy a power cable for the pc, and a new fan. this thing is really loud. I think it’s broken. what has everyone been up to?

Hmm…how’d I come into the picture? :slight_smile:

I really appreciate being remembered but no way am I driving thru freezing weather and snow for those sticks. I’d like to see X-Sapphire and rock2k1 again but I doubt I can match up, especially after my time away from the game. I feel pretty murky still and need to work out a lot of kinks. :frowning: Hope we can play more at EGS gatherings in the coming weeks.

I’m home from class at 6 on Tuesday if you want a lengthy session.

Yes I agree that the ATI is greater than the NVIDia in terms of power and all that jazz…but in terms of compatability with other software NVidia owns all.:lol: I have had a lot of problems with my ATI card…next card I get will be the Nvidia even if it is less powerful then the ATI. Also if you get the ATI 9800 (is that what they are up too now I fogot)…anyhow the most recent ATI card do not download the update Catalyst drivers…from what I understand it actually melts your card…literally:P.

ANyhow… Jim was telling me that you( LMC) and Ex-Ky wanted to go to the LOTR: Return of the King…if that is the case buy your ticket in advance…we are going to the 5:30 showing at Tinsle on Weds. I however am too broke to buy everyones ticket on my card. So let me know dude:P

Also Grifter,
Have you been tryin the crafting skills in Fishing if so what lvl is your fishing at and any tips for me?

Da&*, I gone see what I can possibly do to make it to the theater this time around since I have to work that day untill like 8:30pm. If you guys are going to be showing to the cinema later than 9:20 than I guess you guys can count with me, but if its be4 9:20 pm I guess I gone be absent once more time(My Jobs is part of the problem once again, but like my good friend Zack once said; making money is essential specially when you have to pay those bills. Making a living takes priority over “almost” anything fun we wish we cold do in this stage of our lives. The older you get, the harder life gets. I had learn this the hard way. You have to learn something once in a while. Is never too late. Heh).

THE VIDEO CARD WAR: well, Like zack said they both have their up and downs. So its not always easy to choose what’s best for you and your money.
The fact that a video card is fater than the other doesn’t necessarily mean that it will run games faster and with all the detail than it’s competition which in this case its some what slower(Main hardware commponets that determine the speed of your Video card: GPU, memory bandwitdth, clock speed and other features). In the other hand the slower video card could run games faster than the faster ones as long the games you are running are optimize to run on your hardware(Nvidia’s hardware, when compare head to head to ATi’s, its ussually a little slower and sometimes more expensive than radeon GPUs. Picture Quality diffirences variate from time to time , but at the moment ATI own the speed market and the best value for your money factor.
I personally prefere Nvidia Video cards cuz of of the comapatability factor(A lot of Emulators are optimise to run on Nvidia GPus/Architecture as well as a lot of old pc games I play once in a while and the future is looking bright for nvidia specially now that they are bringing much better products for your money to the market.) but ATI cards give you lot of power for your blin blin. Not a easy choice after you really think about it.

Compatatibility Vs Hardware Total Performances? The choice is your.

EDIT:
Check this link out if want to know a little bit more about this topic: ATI VS NVIDIA. THE WAR IS NOT OVER YET.

Hey zet I know you asked grifter this question but maybe i can help? if you want to level up your fishing try going to windurst and get the fishing skill boost(it’s at the port , talk to the tarutaru fishing near the fishing guild), then use the fastwater rod and little worms to catch some moat carps(try the windurst woods). hopefully you won’t catch rusty stuff as those will cause your rod to break. if you want to fish by the ocean you’ll probably need lug worms. good luck with the fishing and what world are you in?

I am in Shiva…a world where my linkshell is almost half of the entire population…or it at least seems that way. The carpediem linkshell is not a group to be taken lightly to say the least:D. Anyhow after I asked that question I bought a sabiki rig and the fastwater rod…I seem to be catching a lot of things with the sabiki rig:) can catch up to 3 fish on that thing. Anyhow my tarutaru BLM is on hold right now until I can get money(I havent bought a new spell in about 6 lvls:eek: )

I’m hungry. =(

Then fiend for the platter!!!

:ahem:

-Dippy

I just had a question. Is there gonna be game night tommorow night? I really wanna go.

Brad: I’m sorry your hungry. I’ll bring you some food next we meet :slight_smile:

Edit: Oops I forgot I was gonna watch Lord Of The Rings. Never mind.

While everyone was out seeing the shiny new LOTR movie, I was at EGS. Pacman Vs. is too good. I was able to kill Pacman like twice just by randomly moving around.

Playing on pad sucks. =( I still managed to Dloop the hell out of John, tho. ^^ Have a good Christmas, all. Maybe I’ll see some of you during break.

heh, john got too lazy again? :lol:

John’s been too lazy this entire quarter. =P It actually works cuz the only people that play GGXX at EGS regularly now are myself, John, and Randall and Randall uses pad.

who is this randall?
You should get li yu ( yu li; can’t remember) to play as well =)

:slight_smile: I was going to ask you what games do u guys play besides GGX2 now days?

Zack:

What’s your schedule like now that we’re on break?

That is Randall. He said his name is Li Yu, but his friends call him “Randall” so that’s what I’ve been calling him.

Oye Oye…

Dunno what my schedule will be like till after christmas season. My workplace has a tedency to put me on days that I am technically unavailable. But I am thinking maybe fridays…or possibly weekends… I plan on working my ass off for mucho dinero this break.

On a side note:

Just curious what lvl everyone is in FF11… Me I am a lvl 28 BLM / 13 WHM … I know everyone is higher than me in lvls but its hard to lvl when you are looking for a group for 2 hours in Qufim:P

lmc :

I haven’t been playing much since I’ve been looking for a job but I’ve been messing around with svc since I got that rom, gunbound every once in a while, and I guess that’s pretty much it for things that I have played more than once in the past week. I played mvc1 at the local arcade yesterday since its the better of my two mvc’s (and its all they have). And if i ever find some time to head out over to boston, I’m sure to play bm complete 2, mvc2, ggxx, mvc1, project justice, svc, cvs2, gigawing2.

So in conclusion svc/gunbound.

Xer : Heh they call him Randall? that’s kinda funny. I still don’t know why he plays the harder character’s though. Eddie/Johnny :rolleyes: .

Brad, thanks for the heads up about Steve’s yesterday :slight_smile: .
Too bad I was out Christmas shopping & being my GF’s chauffer when you called, otherwise I would have joined you guys.
I hate Christmas :mad:

-Bad Karma-

man the svc bosses are OMFGBS.
since there’s no rolling, there isn’t a good way to counter shin akuma’s dual air fireballs. and the shin mr. karate can flick his hand and hit you full screen. I dont know about the other boss yet but even so these two are just ridiculous.

:lame:
