  1. Yep. Same way the full size version works in the movie. I love the fact that robots in movies now are actually fully functioning robots, even if they don't have the intelligence they exhibit in the movie. Props to them for not going the CGI route.

     

    I would love to take one of these BB-8 droids and mod it. Add more sensors, write software/AI for it, etc. It's a neat little device.

     

    Here's the full scale movie prop version:

  2. Knew what it was before I opened the thread. It's an awesome ride, saw the video a couple weeks ago.

     

    Props to him for choosing such an awesome car. :thumbsup:

     

     

    If I had obscene amounts of money, I'd love to build a car like this. Along with a good ol' gas guzzling V8 version as well.

  3. I played some more after taking a break last night. It was a lot more fun the second time around. Mainly because by then I unlocked the Rank 5 machine gun (which is waaaay better than the crappy starter weapons), and I got more accustomed to their abysmal vehicle spawn system.

     

    I do enjoy the aerial combat though.

  4. Windows 8 was shit, Windows 10 is shit. They basically rewrote the whole O/S with Windows 8, and it shows (basic functionality either didn't work or worked poorly--I'm looking at you File Exporer & Network Shares!). They have yet to work all the kinks out.

     

    I'm going to steer clear for at least one more release, or possibly until Windows 10 has been patched like crazy. They took a step in the right direction, but it still isn't a stable release.

  5. For anyone interested, I've modded my GTAV to support both an Xbox 360 controller as well as a joystick. GTAV can't actually support more than one controller at a time, but the mod I wrote creates an emulated controller and maps that controller to the actual physical devices behind the scenes. So I can drive with my gamepad, then jump into a helicopter and fly with my joystick. It's pretty great, as I can't stand flying with anything other than a joystick.

  6. well yes, I have not found anyone who said exactly what is making the loud whine. they always refer to it as "coils". But I am fairly certain they are referring to the power transformer coils whining on the board

    perhaps the circuit boards your used to testing do not have a power converter section on them?

     

    On a somewhat related note, the only time I've heard a video card making a whining noise is when it is processing an absurd number of frames per second. I.e. on game menus, where the FPS can jump into the thousands. In which case turning V-Sync on eliminates the whine noise because it caps the FPS to a more normal 60/120/etc. Just a little tidbit in case anyone experiences such a noise in the future--try turning V-Sync on. There are other things that may cause the whining noise, but that seems to be the most common cause.

  7. I've never played a GTA game before but have been thinking about this as a last hurrah.

    My PC runs a Q9550 @ 2.83, with a radeon hd7870 and 8gb ram. Based on the info this exceeds the minimum requirements but will it give me good gamepla. Plus is it a good game, what's it going to give me, play wise?

     

    Your 7870 is probably pretty close to my GTX 580, and my 580 runs GTAV perfectly fine with high settings. RAM should be good, CPU is a quad-core so that should be OK as well. I think you'll be fine.

     

     

    We are having a blast with GTA V by the way.
