I'd join, except that I already have more than enough MMORPG stuff, I mean, I'm playing on a couple private WoW servers as it is (and I have my official characters).

Oh man, anyone seen Zero no Tsukaima? Well, if anyone here has actually seen/heard of it, I'm watching the first episode of the second season, and my god, this is the reason I like anime. It's funny, and yet heartwarming, without being over the top. Lots of cute characters, and a good story to go along with it all.

Except that seeding is still pretty much impossible on small scale torrents.

I don't think they're mexican.
Also, why is my scroll lock turning on and off without me touching it. It happens every couple minutes, and it's kinda weirding me out.

Play him 1 on 1 and don't die. Make sure you get all the kills. Then ask him why you won.

The hell. Some Spanish speaking guy added me to msn.. It's really getting weird, because this isn't the first time. I have no idea why Spanish people are adding me, and it's kinda getting creepy.

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of Reducing how often the game renders, which can really affect things if it runs at a high frame rate (free all the rendering time for other operations, essentially) but i don't know the efficiency of the synchronization system, so I dunno if that actually works.. I was guessing there :/
I can see 60 hz flicker in my peripheral vision. Also, I said 70/72 works on lower rez because that's how one of my monitors worked... I havent bothered working with this monitor to see what it could do.

What, so someone playing Ganandorf can knock you off the stage in 1 hit?
I play characters who jump like they're light, but fall slow, and don't get hit too hard.

Well, they do say that "Setting up a secure connection through VPN or over SSH seems to be the only solution." Which means that while it's a pain, it can still be set up and done.

I wonder how many people Comcast is gonna lose? Maybe they'll rethink this after they lose a whole ton of customers.

Well, technically you won't see much of a difference visually between 30 and 60 FPS. The only difference is that if someone moves really quickly, you'll likely seem them move a portion of a second earlier because at higher frame rates.
Just because a game says it's refreshing at whatever frame rate doesn't mean that you can see it. A monitor has a set refresh rate, which means that (usually) ever 1/60 of a second, whatever the game reports is going on, will be displayed. When a game reports it's frame rate, that's how fast the game can update what should be shown on the screen, but that doesn't mean that the screen is displaying every frame that the game is. It simply takes a snapshot of the video info and displays it every update.
The reason you don't see any flickering when you look at a screen is because any image you see tends to stay on your eyes for about 1/5 of a second (IIRC), which means that all the images from the monitor are overwriting each other within that time frame. If you were to have a monitor refreshing at 5 frames a second or slower, you can very easily see a flickering in it. In any case, between 0 and 30 frames a second (game frame rate) you can see the game be choppy and stuff. Above 60 FPS, unless your monitor's refresh rate is set to 70 or 72 FPS, then you won't see any difference.
All of this is assuming you have V synch on (which means the game only updates it's screen when the monitor is supposed to, it prevents issues like tearing and takes some of the stress off your video card and processor).
If you want to see what your monitor is capable of, you need to go into the advanced video settings stuff (you know, the stuff for your drivers instead of the windows thing), and try to change the refresh rate settings. Of course, make sure that it asks you to confirm that it's working, since if you set the rate too high, your monitor will go black, or display an error. Usually 70/72 Hz refresh only works with the low resolutions.

Ness is quite cool, And on the point of missing with the aerial down A, it's such a quick attack that you can pretty much pull it off last second and still get whoever you're going for. It's kinda hard to miss unless you really do it too early.
