Ok...this is quite weird. When I try the SFIV benchmark it needs to have the settings at the absolute lowest to even be able to get 60FPS, but with the actual game I can use higher settings than that. I have no idea what the hell is happening, I was wondering if someone had an explanation...I'm not complaining though

I think the ending was perfect, Hao was just so damn overpowered that it would be completely impossible to beat him for the title of Shaman King (I mean black holes, meteors, a literally instant kill, the guy has everything).

Ladies and gentlemen, here is Nick. Due to the lateness of it, I included a bonus mustache (for FREE!) that will give you that +1 in your sophistication stat that you always wanted.



Now here are Tea and Lazy.
Tea is sporting one of those umbrella things they put in drinks, replacing the umbrella with a tophat. Tea is really pleased because he managed to sneak into a tea party with all of the RPM women. The women are all engaging in "entertaining" activites, like pillow fighting, there's nothing more entertaining than a good pillow fight. Of course, if they find out that the tea cup with a face is actually Tea then he'll be one shattered cup.
Lazy is confused because he just woke up from his nap and is now suddenly hanging out with the highest class of society. I have no idea how that happened, it just did.


Now here's chibi Wily and chibi Vixy. Wily, I find your hair a pain to draw sometimes


Started as a doodle, then it was turning out good, and finally the hands [tornado fang]'d it up.


Finally, Karel v3. It's based on the previous doodle.

Current laptop's specs

320 GB HDD
ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics
14.1” WXGA High-Definition HP BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800)

So, how good is my laptop and what would it have trouble running?

IIRC it was one on the boat with Tomahawk/Napalmman, they switched the homepages for generic areas, and that's it I think. It got the better end of the deal when you compare it with 6.

Man, the gameplay difference between the two was so amazingly broken.

What do you mean?

But I luff wuff my emulators, doujin and flash games on my lappy-chan~

That too, I love playing arcade games on my laptop in school

Oh, and for reference this is my laptop.

My parents think the same thing. I upgraded the computer anyway, especially since the old GPU got fried. I took the opportunity to upgrade the RAM too. The warranty was about to expire and I wasn't going to spend $200 on shipping to get it fixed, so I did it myself--and got a better GPU out of the deal.

Honestly, upgrading isn't that expensive. You could easily do it for under $100 if you know what you're looking for.

The problem is getting the money from my parents, it's free (for me) Laptop VS having to spend $100+ (again, stuff here is more expensive) to upgrade my PC. So yeah...

And what if I told you that the laptop is still the best thing for PC gaming I will ever have for quite a long while? My parents see upgrading the PC as a waste of money, so I'm stuck with quite an old desktop PC =/

Ah, I see someone else here is a member of the Glorious PC Master Gaming Race.

I hate how my laptop is brand new and a new model, and yet I still can only get 60fps in SFIV with everything at the absolute lowest setting. Anything above and it avarages to 20fps AT BEST D:

Also, time for a random thought. Does anyone else here think that not having a true successor to the PS2 in terms of diversity and depth of game libraries this gen has worked against console gaming? (In b4 DS is SNES 2 comments. )

There are many more things that contribute, but yeah, that too.

A Wii here [in the United States] is $250.

Yeah, but I don't live there. Every console is almost twice as expensive here.

Wow... So many people have a DS and a Wii. Barely anyone has a PS3. I'm guessing most people here are Nintendo lovers? Or does it have more to do with the games?

Half that, and the other half is that every console is overpriced here. The Wii is around 400 dollars here, now imagine a PS3.

Holy [parasitic bomb] @the spoilers, simply holy [parasitic bomb].

(click to show/hide)

Confirmed 555 spoiler by Nja

Title: Oars and kasa
coverstory: Nami's weather report in sky island
(kasa is a type of buddhist hat)

The story starts out with Oars rampaging through the marines.
He's about to break through their defence line.
The giant marines say how they usually fight looking down, they've never fought looking UP
They charge in to Oars Jr, but can't stop him.

Oars breaks through their defences, and the pirates follow him into the bay
The first pirates to break through charges at Hancock, but she turns them all into stone
She attacks with Aroma Kicks (Nja didn't provide with furigana, so we don't know what the
move is really called, Aroma Kick is from the kanji)
And the stoned pirates shatter into pieces.
However, some marines got caught in the fray and shattered as well.
Marines are questioning if she's going to turn against them.
Hancock replies, she agreed to fight Whitebeard, but you men are all still my enemies.
Well, other than "that man". You have to realize that. Forgive me... for my beauty.
Marines become lovelydovey

The unstoppable Oars comes right next to Whitebeard
Whitebeard advises him that bravery and wanting to die is a different thing.
Oars Jr asks him (politely) to understand him, he just wants to save Ace as soon as possible

Whitebeard orders his men to support Oars, but Oars takes focused fire by the marines due to his size
Still he gets to the square where Ace is held, but Kuma attacks him with Ursa Shock, and Oars is badly damaged.
He has a huge kasa on his back, but that falls onto the sea.
Oars stairs at it, as the scene goes to flashback....

Ace: Because you're closer to the sun, I'll give you this kasa!
Ace's crew: Because he's fire, he burned this thing up twice while attempting to make it... take care of it!
The kasa kept him from getting wet in rain, and stopped snow from gathering around him.

Oars gets back on his feet, to save the gentle hearted Ace, and to at least take out one Shichibukai....
He attacks DoFlamingo, but DoFlamingo casually dodges it, and flies up in the sky.
He jumps to around Oars Jr's head, then cuts off his right leg. (with a powerful unseen string?)
Oars falls down, but he tries to reach out to grab Ace
Moria: Damn that bastard Doflamingo!! I told him I wanted his corpse, but he goes and cuts off his leg!!
He creates a long spear made of shadow, and stabs Oars in the heart.

The chapter ends as Oars Jr die.
