[quote who="Uvah" reply="1" id="3309318"]These are really good roloccolor. What program are you using to make them?[/quote] Ty Uvah I used ZBrush can´t afford 3ds Max [e digicons]^_^[/e] 4500,- Euros is a bit heavy for my taste... there is room for far more than this here haha in ZB you could say that this THIS is the lowest quality of what you can get, but since its scaled down to icons you can make them like this LOL and that is what makes it so FUN or part of it. +

[quote who="Anthony R" reply="21" id="3308288"]I know the older OCZ ssd's had lots of complaints of failures, that's why I was kind of nervous about getting the Vertex 4, but with a 5 year warranty it looked like they were finally backing the product with some level of confidence. The Vertex 4 is insane in terms of speed. Like yrag said, I only had to use it to know it was insane in terms of speed. [/quote] I dont know but i keep away from OCZ since they started banning peop

[/quote] Sorry, its nice of you reminding folks or informing bout the Skype app for windows8, but since the app is lacking the option "logout of your account" i would recommend not using it until that is fixed, last time i checked it was not.
