Really? I didn't think Crysis 3 was fun at all. Amazing looking? Yes. Fun? Not really. I very much enjoyed Crysis, Crysis Warhead and Crysis 2 but Crysis 3 was just kind of boring after the "Ooooh that's pretty" wore off.

Well, I haven't played 1 or 2... Really big mistake going straight to three, because I know I wont like the first ones as much. I did the same thing with Assasin's Creed. I started with Ezio, then went to the Altiar one... Hated the Altiar one since I liked the mechanics of the new one...

I'm with anort. I actually never made it past the first level or so, the game was that boring for me.
On a side note, if you are into FPS and want a throw away game you could look into A.V.A. Used to be my all time favorite FPS until Aeria came in and made the game pay to win. At this point the game is doing so poorly they have no idea what to do... ranks and rare guns mean nothing now since a new player will be given tons of free rare weapons, in game currency, exp boosts, etc, all for free. Game mechanics are similar to CS but it doesn't have the cartoon like feel.

LOTS of 911's here. There is an Aston Martin parked on my block almost every weekend. I'll grab a pic of it next time I see it.

So, I am finally a witness to how much poor optimization actually affects performance in a PC game. Here I was on a 750Ti playing Assassin's Creed 3 at ultra settings with Vsync on at 1440p with a stable 60FPS. So I bought Black Flag yesterday, and this game is very poorly optimized. I have to play on lowest settings with Vsync off just to get 30-45FPS. And the graphics certainly do not look as good as AC3 did for me, since I have to play on the lowest settings. For all you guys with cards like the 980Ti, just imagine how much you could get out of those things if developers actually created efficient and more optimized graphics in PC games.

I saw all kinds of Ferraris, Porsches, Aston Martins, and Jaguars while I was in England last week. I even walked by a Ferrari and an Aston Martin dealer while I was in Covent Garden. Lots of money being thrown around there. :lol:

Seems fine to me, a lot of people buy things which they don't end up using and put it for sale on cl. Like always, check to see if it is in working condition and if it is the same item. If he says no, walk away.
If it is actually brand new ask him if he can provide proof of purchase. I also believe you can check one of the serial codes to see if it's still under warranty. Might run into problems being a second owner though.

I guess it is just the price. 100$ for a hx1000i is pretty cheap... But I'll check some serial codes to check for warranty
EDIT: Corsair page shows non-transferable waranty, but EVGA forums show people saying they will replace it.. I might bite the bullet. HE accepted 85$ >_>

Yeah I'm heavily considering purchasing an H110i for my Dark Knight rig but after my last experiment with liquid cooling was an utter failure I'm a bit skeptical. I might try returning my X61 and seeing if I can get a replacement for it this week.

Prebuilts don't always come with junk PSUs. I have a few OEM PSUs fro prebuilts and there are some Deltas in there.
Nice deal on that PSU. Got any other parts for the test bench yet?

Nice! Aston Martin is actually one of the very few supercar brands I have never driven. I have ridden in a DBS multiple times though.
Favorite super car I have ever driven is still the GTR. It's just like a Toyota Camry. Get in, put it in D, drive to the store, put it in P, go shop, come back and load the big trunk with all your purchases, get in the car, put it in D, drive off. Its AMAZINGLY easy to drive, has great visibility, and is still fast enough to walk away from most other things on the road. Other supercars I have driven are impossible to see out of and have stupidly heavy clutches. My supercharged G35 had a stage 3 clutch rated for 1000hp and it felt like a wet napkin compared to the R8 V10's clutch.
Don;t get me wrong. I LOVE driving stick and I do it every day even here in the city, but some of those cars clutches are just miserable anywhere besides the track.

Funny you say that, he actually said that his son couldn't shift it without stalling for like the first 20 times. I finally figured out how to take off the parking brake (those weird English things...) and away we went without a hitch. I tell you what though, I have never driven a car with a clutch like that. I have no idea what kind of clutch it was (obviously racing of some sort), but every single start from a dead stop was a roller coaster ride of "Is it gonna go die, OH GOD, oh wait nevermind -_-" Only stalled it once. And I never actually got it out of 3rd gear and there was no need to actually be in 3rd...

I've never really had a car be 'hard' to drive, more like annoying to drive. I've never really be in a situation where I thought I was unable to drive the car and I might stall it at any time. I more of talking about heavy annoying clutches with small or non-existant slipping points.
The clutch in that car was actually probably stock. That's what supercar clutches feel like. They are designed to be able to be smashed into gear at very high RPMs and not complain at all. You trade off heavy pedal feel and jerkyness at slow speed for this. For example: You could easily slam-shit that DB9 from 1-2 at redline no problem at all and it wouldn't complain one bit, but if you tried that in a brand new Toyota Corolla it would pop and fart and grind because it is designed to be comfortable and easy to drive at low speeds and in parking lots, but not exactly designed to be shifted quickly at redline.
