That would no doubt have resulted in a change of flightsuit! That mid-air with an A-4, though, was amazing because the F-15 shouldn't have survived.

At a mere $20 each I find I can't justify NOT getting them.

Photos of the real plane on the ground interspersed with some fake photos of it flying/landing.

Do those missiles actually have AMRAAM-D stenciled on them?

Guess I'm one of the few knuckleheads around here who play TK's sims in MP! Although I have SF2/V merged install, it still gets less time than my installs of ODS, NF4, FE+exp, and WOI as they all have MP that I fly coop on. I'm just sad TK didn't feel MP was worth the effort to make more of it than the WOX series had, let alone dump it for Vista's sake.

What about the expansions for WOI and FE?

I still wish TK would release a Wings over Korea game.

Yes, that's NIN's "The Day the World Went Away" from The Fragile in 2000.

Harold eating the chili again?

Amazing how inaccurate some people can be about basic things.

"A commercial variant"??? Does this imply you can now buy them like a bizjet or something?

Prior to SF2, I would just start a MP session and put myself against unarmed planes only (bombers, transports, etc) if I wanted to just try out a particular plane in a low-threat environment. As SF2 dumped MP, that's no longer an option. However, you could just start a campaign mission and never leave your home base, ignoring the radio and other things happening far away.

To be fair, if TK wasn't stubborn, SFP1 likely would never have seen the light of day and we wouldn't be on SF2V and waiting for expansions for FE, WOI, and SF2E!

LOL, well the $45 part should clue you to the fact that you got a bargain processor. For many tasks it's perfectly capable, I'm just saying it's not ideal for gaming...especially newer games. Most "good for gaming" processors are going to run you $100+ right now. I think the C2D 3GHz I just got rid of runs about $170 right now. Since you already bought the mobo, look at what the board is capable of running on Asus' site and you'll see what CPUs it could take. If you stick with older sims it shouldn't be too bad (you likely can't run at max detail), but I think DCS: Black Shark and Oleg's upcoming SoW:BoB would bring that to its knees rather quickly. The funny part is your GTX280, a card that's faster than my 260, is way fast for a Sempron. I literally spent the same amount for my video card and CPU ($260 each I think) to keep the performance "matched". In your case, your CPU will be the bottleneck, there won't be anything it could throw at a 280 that the 280 can't handle. Of course, when you spend $45 on a CPU and what, $350+ on the video card, that's what will happen.

I've had to "scoot" to that base a few times myself.

T4 takes place after T3, but the only thing that's really carrying over from T3 is the fact that John was in a bunker when the nukes dropped and that Kate (played by Bryce Howard now) is his wife. She was shown as a vet in T3, now she's a doctor, and presumably she taught herself via books while in the bunker.

Yes, but you can buy 2 360s for 1 PS3 and swap back and forth while one is out for service.

With all these luggage strikes lately, you'd think they would have airport people go out and try and scare off the luggage before every takeoff.

Jedi Master. Boggles the mind.

Wait, you got 8 GBs of RAM and a Sempron?? You know those are the old Athlon 64s, right? I got a C2D (actually just upgraded to a 3.33GHz from my original 3GHz model) and believe me, even in games that don't recognize dual cores, it's a lot faster than my Athlon FX-57 was. Part of that is due to the internal architecture just being faster, and part of that is because Windows itself recognizes the 2nd core and can do a lot of things with it while you're gaming on the other one, preventing pauses/stutters/slowdowns.

Spaceballs: Da Flame Trower *whoosh* Da kiddies love it!

X360 -more games -cheaper -more games -cheaper

Sucker bet!!
