burned up the cpu....I think the paste dried out and well.....poooof

it was going on 5 years old so it served its time. I just havent gotten motivated to build a new box, which I need to do. Life and Xbox keep getting in the way.

Well what would I play forza 4 on? lol. I know some of yall poopoo console games like this (hell I did too) but its really pretty good. Besides, being able to watch ESPN3 (or the Ocho) or whatever they call their online only live HD content thru my Xbox on my 50 inch plasma works out fine for the ALMS series.

3049! The Seen Clans are preparing to invade, while the Unseen Clans - including Clan Gassy Hamster, Clan Chocolate Moose, and Clan Bunny Rhino - remain, well, unseen back in Clan Space.

I'm still Pending but based on what I've heard Hondo say while he was playing it, I'd say MWO is not quite ready for Prime Time in terms of the GUI (no way to adjust settings) and teaming (sounded like it was pretty much random). He seemed to be having fun with it while being somewhat frustrated/disappointed all at the same time. It will be interesting to see what changes are wrought before it goes live.

ok so that pesky NDA means I can't talk to much on here about it. But basically its closed beta, not a polished game. that said, its a very enjoyable game for whats been implemented so far. Lots of polishing needed, but I can see this being a very enjoyable game.

Hey did they start this beta yet? I signed up and all I get is PENDING. I'm not sure if the game is in beta testing and I'm just waiting my turn? Anyone know when the game goes live?

Answer is yes

If you paid for the founders pack you are in beta. That said, there is a decent number of non founders pack peple. every week they let more in. But as you may guess, there is a lot of people wanting in.

Okay, I've got approval. I'll give it a try and let you guys know what I think. If I like it, maybe we can group up.

Hammer,

Well, unfortunately the game does not appear to support my ATI 3100 graphics card. So no joy for me. I'll look into patching, but I doubt I will find a resolution given the age of my computer. Ah well, it was worth a try. :-(

I am running dual 8800 GS or somthing along those lines. Ie one level below the max 8800 and it works fine for my now going on 5 year old pc.
