If the writing/characters are good, there's no Branon/Braga involvement, and they don't to an Enterprise-esque leap backward, then I'd watch it.
I grew up on Star Trek. Captain Kirk remains one of my great childhood heroes. Hearing that Shatner would be at a Toronto convention that I might actually be able to get to made me giddy. I love Star Trek.
That said, I think I watched about 3 episodes of Enterprise and tuned out much of Voyager. If they can do it well, I'd be all over it. -
If the monitor is an issue, I will just pop for a new one.
Any thoughts on the link I put in above? Is that worth considering? -
If there is a laptop that I could be directed to, which could handle this, that would be great. For example, would this be likely to do the job?

or do I need to go higher-end? -
Quote:No, I don't know the exact size, because I have been using my laptop almost exclusively for the past 2 years. My old monitor (which was a good quality at the time I bought it) is packed away in one of dozens of boxes that I have yet to dig through after moving. I didn't really feel like going through that pile just to find and measure it. As I said above, it is a bit smaller than my laptop, which is about 14" or so.Originally Posted by Dark Sweater
... but considering the OP doesn't even know his monitor size, I'd say that he's running at low resolution...
This forum has a good reputation for having decent, helpful people. I didn't expect the snarky and somewhat condescending attitude that seems to underlie some of the responses that have been posted. -

I meant in it's own thread, not tacked on to Hyper's.
So you are in Canada, not building, want a fast gaming system for not a lot of money but you won't say what your budget is.
Yes, I am in Canada. Yes, I prefer to buy and not build (I am not familiar with building comps and don't really feel like taking a chance at screwing up).
Yes, I'd like to get the fastest system possible for as little as possible. I didn't specifically say "not a lot of money", but if one can get a system that does what one desires for a moderate amount of money, does it make sense to you to pay triple the price to be able to do all the things that you are never going to do? I guess some people have extra cash that they don't know what to do with, but I just moved to a new house and have some grown-up expenses to take care of.
I was guessing at the size. It is a bit smaller than my laptop, which is 14". But again, if someone has cash to send me, I'll get a bigger one.Quote:And he has a tiny little monitor. -
Looking at the screenshots that have been posted of upcoming stuff and from my little experience so far in the beta, I am more determined than ever to get a better computer that can handle maxed-out Ultra Mode. Anyone out there have any suggestions? I want a system that can handle the highest settings without slowing to a crawl, but at the best possible price (I *do* have to be reasonable with my budget...)
I would appreciate any feedback. -
I dunno... looks ok. I'll probably see it.
I had to listen to what she says at the 1:15 mark about 5 times... I kept hearing "Beau Bridges is more powerful than any of us!" -
That's pretty cool.

Ok, that City of Forums comic was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time...
Now, let me start by saying that I absolutely love the dev response here and the way they really, truly bend over backwards to make us happy, when a lot of the time we can be ungrateful jerks.
Honestly, though, my exact first thought was: "Oh, that's awesome! They devs have a great sense of humour! They're making fun of themselves and took the time to make these phony costumes! Ha ha ha!"
This was followed by "oh... it's for real?" and a facepalm. I was stunned that virtually everyone likes the new new designs. Of all of them, only the Energy Mage holds any real appeal for me. Maybe the Life Mage, too. The hats are just crazy and the green-and-brown Thorn Caster in this particular shot makes me think of something out of Chinese mythology for some reason...
I absolutely, positively love the effort that went in to the designs and consider it top-notch work, but it still doesn't say "Circle of Thorns" to me. If the goal was to make them look more evil, then it's a fail, sorry. They looked considerably more evil before. These look kind of like aliens or cosmic beings. I guess I'll get used to it in time, but the designs by Blast_Chamber were superior, in my opinion.
Anyhow, to end this on a positive note, I will reiterate that the devs are amazing and their work and desire to please the fan base is commendable. -
Bah, this is Catwoman.

Still waiting on Young Justice, if you hadn't guessed.

Still don't like it.
I kept thinking they would eventually remove the silver bits on the toes of the boots, but I guess not. Thought they were to make the boots more durable for filming and would be edited out.
Looks like he'd going to be tap-dancing. -
I still wanna see what's on his leg.
-
Hmm. Will wait and see. Something looks a bit off to me. His head looks funny. I thought he looked ok in some of the pictures I saw of him months ago, but seeing him in the suit, he doesn't seem to fit quite right...
Also not a fan of the "S" shield being a seperate piece.
Also, upon closer inspection:
The cuffs on the sleeves look odd, but I don't mind them
Looks like there are no briefs. I can live with that, I suppose, but I prefer to have them.
The outside of his right leg looks like there some design there. Does he had red running down the legs? Doesn't look like it's the cape resting there. Looks like a part of the leg. -
I like that they ditched the sleeves.
The red of his cape looks darker now. -

The QoL item that I would love to see is the ability to save multiple (even just 2) profiles for graphic settings. That way, it would be possible to lower your settings for those maps (like the new warehouse or the labs in Praetoria that put my computer into slideshow mode) with a single click. Then after leaving those areas, one click puts everything back the way it was.

That movie has been playing for what, 6 years?
I always thought it would be neat to be able to go in and watch player-made films, like DR's stuff. -
Album 2, picture 2...
Captain America from an alternate, humanoid-bird universe?
Also: saw 3 Storms in there. First one was, I think, male. Second one may have been male. Third one... scared me. -
Quote:But you could do the feet, right? :POriginally Posted by Noble Savage
Plus every glove texture in the game. This topic comes up from time to time, and we'd certainly love to do it. But I think it's going to take some kind of tech wizardry to make an undertaking like this feasible. If attempted right now, this one task would cost thousands of man-hours and nullify all other animation and character projects for months. Given the dozens and dozens of other cool things we could make for you instead during the same amount of time, you can see why it's not the best investment.
Then again, Ultramode happened, so it wouldn't be the first time we did a large-scale cosmetic upgrade. Never say never, I suppose. -

From a moral standpoint: there is the viewpoint that if it weren't for Jack that many of these characters wouldn't exist at all or in the form they exist now, so pay up.

Quote:I know some people use the zombie feet or the "wrapped" (don't remember if that is the proper name) option with the bare heels and toes. Either of these could just be redone a bit, removing the zombie look or the wrapping. The shape of the foot is much better on these.Originally Posted by Kyasubaru
Would think better bare feet would be a lot more doable than fingered hands, if only because you wouldn't need to re-animate them. Just make em a bit thinner, maybe give a lil bit of definition to the toes, and make sure the texture lines up to the legs. Could even use the same texture we have now, if they so chose. No need to redo the other foot models in this case since they're, you know, shoes. And no need to add animation to the toes.
But I have been asking for better bare feet for long enough that I am starting to sound like a fetishist. -
Anyhow, yeah, I wouldn't mind proper hands, myself. I've also got a couple of characters who, thematically should go barefoot, but the current bare feet are boots with toes painted on and just look bad.
So, yeah, fingers and toes, please. -
My main thing would be to have Uni die a horrible, painful death.
Every episode.
