That's why I'm going to watch. NASA doesn't have an excellent "firsts" and "lasts" track record.

The Lounge / Discovery's last mission
« on: Thursday, February 24, 2011, 01:46:27 AM »
NASA will be launching mission STS-133 using the Discovery shuttle. This will mark the last mission of Discovery's service in over 25 years. Discovery is the first to retire in the fleet (aside from those that exploded lulz) and is the pride and joy of the fleet having hauled such payloads such as the Hubble space telescope. It will be launching tomorrow at 4:50PM EST. I think it will be on NASA TV ( http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html ) and I plan to watch it.

lol how does one combine memory and hd into a score? who the hell coded this last minute?

No, you misunderstand. The thread I linked to talks bout the memory score, I applied the same logic (thinking they used similar code) for the HD.

It's even more bullshit than I thought. I was always curious why I got a 5.9 on disk data transfer even with 3 HDD's in RAID0. Turns out, it doesn't rate on speed alone...

if memory is reported under 4 GB , it will regardless of QUALITY, rate it 5.9 for QUANTITY.

You could have the fastest RAM in the world but if you have less than 4GB, you get a 5.9 rating. This has got to be the same for hard drives too, I bet only SSD's get above 5.9.

There's a store in my area (not gamestop) that sells computer parts and games. They're pretty condescending, much like Killaman's experience. I've given up and really see no purpose to game stores these days. I overpaid on every single item I purchased there. If you want physical copies of the game, places like Amazon and eBay are great. Lotta places online have no store to rent, no employees to pay and you don't get any lip from them. The middleman might have had a purpose back in the Sega days but not anymore.

indirect would send u to another site before photobucket

$5 says that on the page where you get the link to share with people that there's one that says direct link. Thus proving my point, you share the indirect link.

I like marveling at box art and instruction manual art. I dunno if they still do it like they used to back in the day.

Something tells me that they don't. It's probably 3DSMax renderings of characters used in the game then Photoshopped to look good. Basically, something with amazing quality that you won't see in the game.

I don't buy things online much so it would be a waste, especially since paying in cash is usually easier.

When you realize the copious amount of Chinese goods that are available online... you will change your mind.

I want a hard copy and I don't have a credit card or paypal to use. It is much easier just using cash.

What's the appeal of having a hard copy? A shiny CD that takes up space? Waste of resources IMO.

What's wrong with buying/pre-ordering it online? Cut out the middleman mark-up.
