You are looking at a guy that paid for System Shock 1 and 2 when I didn't have to!

I will be buying it but I will be playing a "demo" to keep me alive till then.

That's 7 PM Monday.. which is about 2 hours before I can walk into Wal-Mart and buy it....

Hatorade · 08-19-2007, 05:23 PM

My fileplanet DL is downloading now.....1.84gigs......I wonder if I will get to play it or have to wait for it to unlock.....

Edit yeah gotta wait for it to unlock on monday.....Gay waiting on drivers.

Eomer · 08-19-2007, 07:56 PM

Pre-loading it on Steam now. Not even sure why I got it from Steam, other than I can drive home immediately on Tuesday and play it without stopping at a store. I get hosed on the exchange rate as per usual, but whatever.

Thank god it's locked until Tuesday anyway, cause otherwise I'd be choking bitches in a rage about the 30kb/sec download I'm getting.

Hatorade · 08-19-2007, 09:07 PM

Well its on my comp just need to wait until I get off work tommorrow. That or crack it lol...damm demo.

Hatorade, I know you're always linking demos and things from Fileplanet as they hit, which I appreciate as I've always had a FP account, but what is your relationship, if any? PR? Avid fan? Pawn? Sometimes it sounds like you work for them and sometimes it doesn't. You refer to you and Fileplanet as "we" but you don't seem to be informed on the specifics of the actual demo. I'm not flaming or ranting, just genuinely curious.

I'm guessing it says "we" because he copy/pasted it from the link.

dub · 08-19-2007, 09:11 PM

Oh hmm, selective reading I guess.

Never mind.

Carry on.

I noticed the folder that says "amd dual core timing fix". I assume then this game is coded for dual processors? Even some of the latest games I have bought do not use both processors as intended.

Still debating buying this one on PC since it gives me a reason to blow dust off my 360.

I can't remember using we to refer to fileplanet I think I only use it as those of us on FoH forums that use FP and me. I use Fileplanet because it is fast and simple. Click twice and downloading. Guess that makes me a fan. Before I starting paying for FP I was strictly GamersHell.com - gh3d.com:. PC, PS2, PS3, XBox, XBox 360, Gamecube, Wii / Revolution, PSP, NDS. News, Reviews, Cheats and FREE game Downloads. - GamersHell.com .Usualy on top of things ands its free with less waiting then FP.

That was the main reason to show it. I was wondering that myself. The official forums talk of it even using 3 out of 4 cores of the quad cores....No idea how true that is but still amazes me. Five years ago I would never have dreamed of such a thing. I just assumed single cores would progress to 8ghz+. Then jump to the big Thz. Makes sense now but still crazy to me.

Anyways though good to know they are making use of the new tech.

Edit....FP took down the bioshock preinstall....Better not fuck up my unlock.

That AMD thing is probably just the patch that AMD has had on their website for a couple years now. I'm really curious how the "Core Maximizer" tool that some dude on the Gas Powered Games forum made for SC will work with it, as well. Even on single threaded games like HL2, that tool completely splits the workload between cores instead of one getting overloaded (60/40 vs 95/5 or whatever).
