Reply to England and Google Glass in Personal Computing Elemental Forums

I find this to be interesting. I do see the position of the DfT, but I have to wonder: pilots deal with large amounts of information coming at them while controlling an airplane. Fighter pilots deal with even more (status of the plane, position of wingmen/women, navigation, threats to the plane, targeting information, etc). Obviously they have to receive many hours of training before they would be allowed to pilot a plane, but my point is that it is possible to operate

Does this make sense? (regarding Lord Markin) in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

I am playing the scenario in LH (1.2) and I started taking a look around the map. I saw Gildenshard and level 2 Lord Markin nearby the city. Out of curiosity, I clicked on him to see what he was up to in comparison to Lord Relias. I saw that he had taken the Path of the mage (he was level two at this time-I'm early game). Wouldn't a more suitable trait for the Ironeer people be Defender? Or is there a strategy that I am missing that

Reply to Which of these two chips / cards / laptops is better? Thank you! in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

If you look at this link http://www.cpubenchmark.net/laptop.html# you will see that the PC from Acer actually has better performance than the PC from ASUS (look at the 9th and 10th entries, respectively). That said, the difference (using this particular benchmark) seems to be so small that I would use different criteria (such as cooling, as Seleuceia has already mentioned) to make a comparison. You can also compare the two

Max texture atlas size limits? in LH Support Elemental Forums

This may be a small thing, but it is recurring over every version of LH that I play. I set the max texture atlas size to the maximum allowed (1024x8192) from it's previous value (usually 1024x4096). I am then asked to restart and when I do, the value is still 1024x4096. I just downloaded the 1.3b patch and the value actually got bumped down to 1024x512. My PC is Win7 Pro 64 bit, i7 X980 @ 3.33 GHz, 12 GB RAM, nVidia 570 GTX.

Doing a little digging from the Reddit link that Heavenfall posted, I found this site: http://steamdb.info/sales/ Using the filters 'Games' and 'US Dollars', I am able to sift through the deals that didn't happen to make the front page. They start off with the 90% discount sales, so you might find that little indie gem that you have been looking for. Thanks for pointing me in the right d
