#69 – PC Power vs. Skill

It was a chilly night at just past midnight on Saturday. Heekwon just finished some chicken wings and a beer. Ole is hardly awake but excited to introduce a special guest on the show.

To find out what happened next, watch the show.

Oh, and we also spend a lot of time discussing the impact of powerful PCs on game play and whether Heekwon would be unstoppable on Poco Loco’s computer.

    I know the single biggest advantage I have in gaming is my 74g Raptor drive. I am one of the first in any server in BF games and Counter Strike. Whats funny is Poco Loco and I have very similiar systems except that my processor is a bit slower, an AMD X2 4600+. I would not give up my all maxed out settings for graphics on BF2.

  • wuz

    Loved it as usual.

    But wat about GW podcast! I am feeling left out! cmon you over 18 smegheads that are capable of being a host! lol, soz about the offtopicness.

    nyways…. love it that its raw and uncut, it feels human now! xD

    Did you guys like the new lower thirds?

  • SoulAssassin

    Verrrrry nice episode

  • Falku

    It was a chilly night at just past midnight on Saturday. Heekwon just finished some chicked wings and a beer. Ole is hardly awake but excited to introduce a special guest on the show.

    Heekwon just finished some chicked wings…? lol what is that?

  • JudgementDay

    Good one guys!!! I REALLY enjoyed this one!… Nothing like guys getting together talking about their computer hardware and BF2 gameplaying abilities. I liked the Heli video too… I’m going to go back and watch it again… Heekwon, we need to get a group together and record us playing for the Podcast!!!!

  • JudgementDay

    Kudos to the lower thirds!!! Hip hip hurray!! Sweet!

  • http://www.tuxmedia.tv Ole

    Chicked Wings… hehe, oops. I will fix that.

  • JudgementDay

    Oh BTW Poco Loco, you did a great job!!

  • JudgementDay

    Ah Ole leave the chicked wings… It gives character, and who knows maybe you’ve started something there!!!

    “Yea, I’d like an order of Chicked Wings with extra sauce please!!”

  • IceSoldier

    Again, better and starting to head in the right direction. I’m liking the whole idea of going from bf2 one week to 2142 the next, alternating makes the show good.

    p.s. lol Ole, you guys will someway somehow forget to talk about the apache on ghostown some day.

  • http://www.tuxmedia.tv Ole

    We’ll see about that… :p

  • Firefox1948

    Hey all,

  • Firefox1948

    Ahhh sorry about previous post (hit tab and then enter by accident).

    Is it normal that when I click on the Forum tab that I get the good old website is not found screen? Are the Forums up and runnig?

    Also loved the Helo video is all that possible with Vanilla BF2. And could you give us a link to download it?

    Thanks

  • Hee

    this episode came out fast. i guess Ole must’ve skipped work again. glad to see everyone’s enjoying the raw and uncut version of Battlefield podcast

  • Cr1pPl3r

    Greast pod cast Guys. As far as the apache VS the Gunship its not against the Rules if you dont tell them LOL

  • http://www.tuxmedia.tv Ole

    RE #14: The forums link works fine for me…

  • Firefox1948

    Is it b/c I am using IE7?

  • Hee

    that’s true Cr1pPl3r we don’t have to tell them

  • http://www.sealteam6clan.com =ST6=rfp

    Great show, lots more bf2 game talk and a lot less fluff that has been creeping in with the old format.

  • http://www.tuxmedia.tv Ole

    #18: It works in IE7 as well.

    Great podcast. I should note that RAM probably has a bigger impact on loading times than HD speed, since lack of RAM makes the game have to constantly switch models and textures in and out of memory and that’s where the HD speed kicks in.
    Other than that… about BF3, I should note that some “community centers” are already forming around it, there’s, for instance, the IRC channel #BF3 on irc.quakenet.org and http://www.bf3forums.com/ (not very active yet, though).
    Hopefully, assuming the PDF is true, the podcast should be getting something new to talk about come January of next year… Keep up the great work!

  • OldMan-DK

    Good show.forgotten hope 2..i cant wait

  • Cr1pPl3r

    Hee,
    I guess the real question would come down to what game do we want to port it into BF2 or 2142. LoL Let the debate commence

  • L0NGSH0T

    Hey guys, Iam digging the new raw format. Just a few diehard gamers sitting around talkin rigs, games, beer, whatever you got, sweet. I also like no adds being worked into the conversation (all right now it time to s*** some cache fly ***k), yes I know funding needs to happen but…

    thanks for all the hard work and great podcasts.

  • MurderDogg

    Pentium D 830, nvidia 7900GS, It`s my 3 Gb RAM that gives me a spawn first advantage(allbeit 533mhz ram).

  • MurderDogg

    sorry for second thought(post), but it runs better than my new quad core system. Damn Vista.

  • JudgementDay

    In my opinion some advertising is okay, as long as it doesn’t overwhelm the Podcast. Realizing that $$$ would help to improve the technical side of things.

  • Poco Loco

    was that freshness or was that freshness

  • [s9] Roth.Ika

    I find on low settings theres less coverage and such, but with high settings i can see farther and see shadows. I mostly snipe so i kind mix up settings up to what works i dont crank everything low or high.

    AMD x2 Dual core 5000
    2 GB Ram
    320 Seagate HD w/ 32mb cache
    nVidia Geforce 8600

  • Annihilatorape
