I miss you assholes, what are you doing with your lives?

Report in. Don't be shy, I know you're still lurking once every two or three months too. I have a couple lucky duckies that I keep in touch with via Facebook, but the majority of you have simply dropped off the face of the earth.

What have you been doing for the last year?

Well right now I am in the middle of installing some automations.  I ran into an issue with RF interference while the xenon was striking.  It turned out to be partially caused by the cue detector/failsafe wire which had to be somewhat rerouted as well as insulated.  I fixed that bug and the only thing left for me to work out is the remote fader for the CP200.  It is wired but I think I need to adjust the internal trim inside the CA21 because it seems like it's nearly wide open right now.  I'll work on that a bit tomorrow. 

Thanks for asking!

Still waiting for the repairs to be finished on my SNES, among other things.

I'm outta the business. I'm currently offering lessons on how to post a single sentence without editing for grammar and content though, should you be interested.

Dude, you are confused.  The <message edited by emofag> thing is his sig, that's all.

Ok then.

So you're not able to PWN any experienced players?

I've been WORKING as a MLT over the last couple of years. I've moved to a different location which is ~1hr 30 mins away from home. So commuting across cities, working, + overtime then returning home takes up most of my time.
Other than that i play COD MW2 online when i have time.

Why do you have 12GB of memory?  I have pretty much the same thing except two gtx460s and 4GB of Ram.

It is a little overkill, but I run a lot of shit at once and having 4 screens don't need to minimize anything.  I have a geforce 260 for my secondary card.  Probably going to add a 3rd and maybe even a fourth after I get more screens.  I could also add another 460 in SLI, but there isn't anything I play right now that a single 460 doesn't max out.

Well I'm stuck in the UK until house prices go back up. It isn't looking great at the moment. In the meantime, I decided to do a Masters in Game Design. I'm 2 months in and it's 18 months long. I'm using 12 months worth of personal iOS development as the basis for my current project... so it should be good. I haven't been playing as many retail games as I would like because A) I've been pretty busy, and B) mobile gaming has kind of taken over.

Got a job with Disney online studios . Not quite the break in the games industry I had hoped for but I guess I will take anything games related for now :) ..

You guys both recommend the GTX 460? I'm looking to get a couple come Christmas, but I'm torn. The 768's in my price range right now. The 1GB superclocked is pricier, but I'm not sure if the performance warrants it. Thoughts?

I wouldn't get a videocard with less than 1GB of memory, and yes the 1GB version is significantly faster.

Yes get the 1GB and get the MSI version.  The cooling solution for it is significantly better than the others.  With the card running much cooler it will last a lot longer than the cheapo shit versions, and also run a lot quieter.

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

Every winter my dad does this thing with his garden. "I won't bother weeding it, son," he says confidently. "I'll just cover it with black tarpaulin and let the December frosts do the rest - come April time we'll be working on clear soil." And every year we peel back the tarpaulin in the spring and discover that, despite subzero temperatures and light deprivation, the vegetation underfoot is actually thicker.

I feel kind of the same way coming back to this forum to discover that you miserable grasping bastards are still here. Jesus. Keep hanging around like this and we might actually have to do something CONSTRUCTIVE with this place.

I agree with the others, 1GB is the minimum.

What kind of card do you have at the moment?  If you can wait I would hold off a while for the GTX 560.  It will replace the GTX 460.  It should offer about 20% more performance at a similar price range.  At  the same time the GTX 460's will drop in price if you shop at the right place.   Newegg or NCIX are the best. 

Personally I don't like the idea of two cards.  More heat/noise, less stable, less performance per watt/dollar.  In certain games you see hardly any performance gain from the second card, and in some cases you even have to disable SLI in order for it to work at all, although it's getting better.  I'd much rather buy a single high end card than two mid range cards.  Also when looking at benchmarks pay careful attention to minimum frame rates not just average.  When frame rates take a sharp dive you will feel it.

NCIX has a sale now for a GTX 480 at 370$ CAD.  That's fucking good, a few weeks ago it was a 500$ card.  

I recently grabbed a GTX 580 to replace my GTX 260, in addition to having DX11 support I was seeing about 2 to 4 times more performance.  Unfortunately my card died, sent it back, still waiting for a replacement....  It's a good investment though (assuming you don't get a lemon).  I'll have that card for three to five years easy.

Even im still lurking here now and again.

No one ever posts any useful stuff though.

It's sad that it died. Guess everyone were just hanging out here at the prospect of winning a game :D

Absolutely ass. A solid processor and 4gb of ram though. The 560's due out in what, mid-January? That's just about tax-return time.

New car, new graphics card, new textbooks for a semester I'm 3 weeks into...

4gb of ram 

That's 1/3rd of what I have.  

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

I hope you have a bunch of 64-bit applications running on a 64-bit operating system written to take advantage of all that RAM.  Without the 64-bit stuff, more than 4GB of RAM isn't really useful.

Is windows ME and Netscape 4.0 64 Bit?

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

Yeah, that's probably good enough.

I'm back from Iraq, being a lazy bastard getting paid to go to college by the Army, so I'm rather happy with my amount of free time. I'm currently working on learning 2 other languages in my free time (Russian and Korean) and waiting for the flow of good games to start again. (Crysis 2, Dragon Age 2, whatever the next PS Mini that Sony sucks my life away with)

Also, Edwin, with this place being so dead I was curious about how VGD was doing since the rename from Kikizo? I assumed a name that made sense would boost site traffic, and in turn forum users.

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

That was so 2008!

I check the forums every month or so. Real life got me tied up atm.

Got a GTX570, upgraded to 8GB of ram for hell of it.

I've given up writing for here (and need to apologise profusely to Adam!) as I'm now the manager of Games Workshop in Stirling.  Gave up work in the real world to do something fun, I'm loving it and geeking out to the max.  Edwin got a job with Official Xbox magazine I think, so he's doing well for himself too!

I'm still playing shitloads of street fighter and I'm still not any good at it.

Cool its good to see someone doing what they like. I wish you the best.
Edwin congrats as well.
If i could just walk away from this life, give it all away, i would. It's not bad but "wanting more" is a bit cliche but it's what i need.

Well I plan to head to Jamaica this year study some, make a new life, career after. Don't know what will happen after this year. Hell we might all "rapture" in October who knows.

I'll still keep check on the forum see if there is anything i missed or something new.
Peace out.

Well I just got into the rap game and my album Should be out soon. I go by the rap name Young MegaByte, Be on the look out for my debut album. Young Megabyte - The First Black Time Traveler . Go to ITunes and buy my first single - KiloBytes & Bitches Glad to see everyone still up and running I hope you guys are having a wonderful life. . Please stay safe and keep the faith. - Young MegaByte

Seriously mikayd? lol

I looked for young megabyte and couldn't find anything.   

Well, I found "Megabyte Young" but doesn't seem to have to do anything with rap.

Holy shit, I had no clue this place still existed. This is like a fucking high school reunion. I'm surprised I still remember the password haha. 

I'm a part-time mechanic and I'm just over half way into getting a chemical engineering B.S. so I should have that around Spring '14. 

I think we should have an annual Kikizo day where everyone takes off work/classes and posts on Kikizo all day. And since no one here plays games anymore, we can just have a classic racial/religious/political/nationality debate that made us all love this place.

Good luck with the BSc.
It's true I haven't been playing much games this year. But i await Diablo 3 and Borderlands II. Then gaming will be back on the menu.

Haha, the old log-on still works! Not making games now, but have a fledgling software company and work in education as an associate head in Creative Tech at a Uni. I miss the forum, and the old days on here. I still see a couple of you on live from time to time - but I do miss the banter! Let's see if this thread goes another year without a post! Andy

I built my own desk.

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

2 years bump :) I actually remembered my password, which is amazing to say the least. 

My life is good, I currently live in Melbourne, Australia. Moved here since last July (2014). Enjoying life in oz and all the good weather associated with it. Currently working for a web dev company as a PHP programmer, and making better money than back home.
I still want to get into the game design scene, however with work and stuff I rarely find myself with the drive to do it. Although Source 2 going free, with the likes of Unity and Unreal Engine 4.. It should be easier than ever! I look forward to seeing a reply in 2016..
