Looking for 1v1 sparring partners

edmundsiew — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 21:57:45 +0800

Hello, I just got my SEA copy and would like to find some 1v1 kaki to train.
I use Terran as my main.

My character name is Edz 326 (SEA). If interested, feel free to add me!

Thanks!

Anyone can spare me a SEA guess pass?

Any kind souls out there willing to spare me a SEA guess pass?

I'd like to play in the SEA server but would like to check if it lags or not.

Thinking of buying one if it doesn't.

Thanks in advance!

Building Gaming PC (First timer)

Hi guys, I'm new to building a PC and would appreciate any help/suggestions in this thread.

I'm looking to build a PC capable to play Starcraft 2 at full settings.

A fellow forumer recommended me these specs:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intel Core i5 750 (I just realised Core i5 760 is out, should I get that instead?)

ASUS P7P55D-E LX P55 Socket 1156 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard (what's the difference compared to Asus P7P55D LE P55 Socket 1156 8 Channel Audio ATX Motherboard, LE ? LX? )

Kingston 2gb ddr3 1333mhz x 2 (should I get Corsair instead?)

HD5770 1GB (would HD5850 last me much longer?)

OCZ 500W PSU

500GB Hard disk (any recommendations?)

coolermaster elite 334 casing

pioneer dvd driver

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any pricing info will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for any help in advance guys.

DIRT 2 (PS3) | V2

The physics aren't the only part of Dirt 2 to get an overhaul. The third-generation Ego engine that's working under the hood has an all new lighting/rendering system that's designed to give unprecedented layers of depth to terrain and environments. The build I saw was based on pre-alpha code, and there's plenty Codemasters isn't showing off yet, but the environments already look stellar, despite missing textures, lighting, and so-called "crowd furniture." I caught a glimpse of what the developers are planning to do with particle and water effects, too, and rally fans won't be disappointed. In the races I watched, cars got progressively grimier until they looked like they'd been airbrushed with brown paint. One flick of the windshield wipers though, and you're right as rain.

Water, always a rally-racer's enemy, has also been given close attention in Dirt 2. It may look pretty, but you don't want to plow into it unless you plan on slowing down by about 30 percent. But if you happen to land in the drink instead of hitting your apex, no worries. There's always the replay.

In addition to China, Dirt 2 also takes you to California, Utah, England, Croatia, Malaysia, and other well-known rally locales. So what cars will you be using to tear up nature's pristine virtual environments? Codemasters isn't saying just yet, due to ongoing licensing discussions. But you can bet your rear differential that Subaru will be involved.

I have yet to get my hands on Dirt 2 in earnest, and there's a lot Codemasters has yet to reveal about its upcoming rally racer. But from what I've seen so far, the team is set to deliver a razor-sharp off-road racing experience in September. The environmental sound is beefed up, the cars sound throatier and the damage and destructible environments are already impressing. We'll have much more on Dirt 2 as the game progresses, so check back soon for more mud, sweat and gears.
