  1. Anyone else getting a lot of intermittent graphical flickering in the Praetoria areas? Like objects and the whole screen?

    As it's been said many, many times over in this forum; Marvel had nothing to do with Wolverine. Or the X-Men movies, Spider-Man movies, Ghost Rider, Punisher movies, Fantastic Four movies, etc... The only films Marvel has actually produced are the Iron Man movies and the Incredible Hulk; with Thor and the Avengers coming up soon.

    Only because the crapass writers that replace him ***** and whine that their favorite characters got changed or something; which results in the status quo being changed to Pre-Morrision.
  5. Warshades are worth it, though you might appreciate them more after attempting to level up a Peacebringer.
  6. *boggles at the people calling Scott Pilgrim a hipster movie*

    I don't think you know what that word means.
  7. Damn that's some harsh moderating.

    Examples include Zombieland, Role Models and last night's viewing of Kick *** for the first time.

    /2 cents
    Michael Cera is Guybrush Threepwood.

    I loved it. It was a refreshing break from the big budget "Look, shinies!!" movies with a half-arsed plot. Or a remake. Or an adaption. Things that horribly brutalise the original material in ways that shouldnt actually be possible unless your trying (looking at you, Bay...)
    This very much.

    If you aren't going to overclock the CPU, then you can't get the memory controller in the i5-750 to run RAM any faster than DDR3-1333. If you aren't going to be pushing the memory that fast, then you don't need such a extreme cooling solution for the RAM (they come with their own fan from crying out loud).

    It's a vicious circle.
    Noted and changed.

    I wouldn't say you need a 3rd-party heatsink/fan for the CPU unless you're going to go ******* with the overclock (like 4ghz+). Especially with that case. Intel processors seem to OC so easily and still stay cool these days.

    Ranged/Armor AT!

    Assault/Support + Armor would be awesome. We would finally have an AT worthy of a Gun and Sword power set.

    Martial Arts

    MA would need an alternate animation set in the vein of Geese Howard's fighting style.
  14. If it gets me the Magic Pack Witch hat for my guys I'm for it.
  15. A note for those who are thinking of getting a GTX 460, stay away from the Palit and MSI brands. They lack VRAM heat sinks which, despite their claims, is a bad thing.

    That's an odd limitation. I'd really like to know the exact details behind this.

    Anything more elaborate will be tied to some high level content crap.

    It's just a matter of getting around to creating those back attachment points that the devs have mentioned over the past several years.

    Fixed wings

    That will likely happen if they ever actually get around to creating those attachment points on the backs of characters for backpacks/rocketpacks/etc.

    You'll notice a similar thing with breath of fire where the fire actually comes from your nose.
    I think it's the fact that it comes from your face rather than your hands that's off putting. I know it is for me.
