Could you provide a quick explanation of what that is?

Rendering higher LODs than normal at ranges where they should render at their lowest.

So like, you get models to show the highest level at detail even when there supposed to be showing a lower one?

Yes.
And rendering shadows when they're at a distance where they wouldn't normally.

It's not perfect, but it's getting there.

Does it lag at all?

And with these features, does it run the game with them on? Say, I play campiagn...

It's not real time, i.e. you can't play a game like that, it's just a method of how he captures it.

That's pretty cool though.

I listened to a few samples. It's really awesome, I'm gonna have to pick it up. I've been listening to these guys for quite a long time. Aren't they making a movie too? I seem to recall seeing a trailer for it.. It looks interesting.

I was surprisingly taken out of RC way before my time was up, hurray

Although, I do miss being able to see all the people who are in the Readers Club, made me feel like I was a part of something

That's generally something you leave unsaid. Someone may find that as an excellent opportunity to put you back in.

I beat Rock Band's guitar solo tour on expert difficulty finally. Incidentally, my left hand is now sore. >_>

Oh, and the Packers lost.

No, they won't. Not in this case. He was put in for a completely illegitimate reason, hence my removal of him.

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 10:45 pm

Not in this case then, no, but generally speaking, yes. How could I have known he was added for a illegit reason?

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 10:54 pm

The posts, the threads, the user notes? =p

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Sun Jan 20, 2008 10:59 pm

No Tural. I'm not as perfect as you. I'm not so all-knowing, and unless i'm mistaken, i'm not the one who added him or removed him, so I don't really know everything about the subject. Based on the post he just posted it sounded like he was randomly taken out before his time.

Whatever. Anyway, I stopped playing as a sniper in COD4 for a bit and my scores like doubled. heh

Sorry for making a light-hearted comment to ease the tension of your previous post.

Then I must be as perfect as Tural... not really but if I do remember right EvenCoolerMatt was added because he wanted to have his first emblem and Cuda gave him a month of being RC'd. I think he wanted a month or agreed to it. So I guess he was removed because it was pointless.

So that pretty much summed up what happened.

I really have to control myself most of the time and not act like this, but, If you didn't understand my post, i'll sum it up:

Tural needs to stop being so arrogant. There. I said it. Now lets get back on topic.

I have a 24oz Rockstar and no one else in the world does.
That makes me the best.
