Do you mean DX9? Very High settings don't even entail DX10. If you want to blame anyone, blame EA for restricting DX9 users from accessing the highest model/texture resolutions.

There are certain effects that can only be replicated via DX10 that just happen to be included in the Very High settings' configuration files, but there are also many other things (such as e_obj_quality=4, etc) that change the quality of the game that can be done in DX9. Don't let it fool you in to thinking DX9 can produce the same things DX10 can.

I almost got a perfection twice. I was just about to laser somebody but my teammate runs right infront of me and makes me betray him. And 1 Kill remaining Ragdoll sticks somebody who is right infront of me and I get betrayed because of it.

He means if you install a patch and run Crysis on Very High, the DX10 settings will be enabled (not just really really good DX9) -- *record sound to signify pause* wait a minute. GTAF's right. If you're not on Vista, you can't have DX10. Period. So it must just be really 1337 DX9 :|

Hm. Well yeah, anyway, I was aware of that JunkFoodMan.

Another rant: MacBook's keys are freakin' rebels. I have to push down on them with the strength of 300 spartans just to type a character. Gawd, more responsiveness please?




EDIT: Oh yeah, lol.

I've never had any problem with Mac keyboards. You're weak. Or you have got a messed up keyboard. Do you remember spilling a gallon of syrup on your keyboard? That might have done it.

No, we just got it for Christmas. I think it's that the buttons are spaced farther apart or something. It just feels weird.

I hate when people call you on a number you don't recognize and don't leave a message.

Or they keep calling back, even after you told them it's the wrong number. :X

We had someone call asking for a Wendy's application, we kept the message so I could record it. Good times...

What the fuck. We got a second Asus motherboard, and the video STILL doesn't work. I don't know what's wrong with it. Everything is connected, I was grounded the whole time...blagh.

I'm starting to really really really hate foundry...Yes, its great for forge...BUT IT LOOKS SO BAD! They stole Gears of War's colour scheme: dull
Its just such an ugly map...It makes me hope that they release another forge map...But outdoors, placement of trees etc. So at least it can be bright and have more of a colour palette than foundry.

The one thing that I do find pretty is their cubemaps for the level. They're detailed :P

I knew it. Jesus, Scotty. You have a lot of emblems.

Edit: Well, missed the bus today when I decided not to walk to school (it's fucking freezing, lots of wind). Missed it a second time by a split second because the one time I need it, it's early when it is usually very late. So no first period for me.

But man, I really miss out on what the day is like because of school. I only see the very beginning of the morning, 30 minutes at lunch and then the rest of the afternoon after 4pm. It's really pretty, can't wait til I get a car. I miss seeing this stuff. I'm at school on weekdays and on weekends I'm not up until noon. Half of the day is already gone. Booop beeep da boop beep bap.
