R200 & RV250 to kick NV25 in next years games ?

[Doomtrooper]

south of Stutgart in Bavaria

OT:

I figure that's a typo Doom hm?

Doh yes you are correct it is South of Frankfurt, I normally stayed at Swabisch Hall. I usually flew into Frankfurt but once I had to fly into Stutgart and for some reason I thougt I went South.
I will also state for the record I got lost many times
Saw Neuschwanstein 4 times, now that was cool

You terrorist ehh.. tourist...

 

[Gollum]

Hehe, I live in Bavaria and 've never even seen Neuschwanstein once except in pictures, shame on me...

Why; IMO Neuschwanstein is only one castle under many, and IMHO it looks far to "Disney-like" so not my taste ( IMHO because of that the americans like it so much ).

By the way where do you life? munich?

 

[Doomtrooper]

I thought the castle looks amazing against the Mountain backdrop and the waterfall coming out of the mountain, I've seen many in England (Windsor and one near Poole) also...
Since I was staying there everyone wanted me to be their tour guide that flew in from Canada, I went twice in the winter (took the horses up) and the other two in the Summer months (walked up) and I will say if attacking that castle in a full suit of armor and having to walk up that mountain...you would die of a heart attack before you reached the top
The winter looked very nice with the snow on the trees around the castle, BTW you got your history backards Walt Disney visited Neuschwanstein and designed his castle of that design...

 

[Trawler]

Aah, Neuschwanstein. I went out there on a day trip. Ended up climbing up the mountain on the other side of the bridge that goes over the waterfall. Absolutely amazing scenery, looking down at the castle, and the basin below. One of the most fantastic sites I've ever seen. *sniff*

Still not quite on par with the Covent Garden Walkabout after a half dozen or so pints, but pretty damn close...

Slightly OT? Nahhh!!!

Sure, but Neuschwanstein looks cute and this "cuteness" is disney-style.
I know very well that Neuschwanstein is older than Disney (even older than the founder of disney if I remember correct).

 

[Doomtrooper]

Don't forget I live in the 'New World' where Tim Horton coffee shops and Mcdonalds on every corner, we don't have castles in Canada so it is pretty awesome for me

 

[RussSchultz]

Neuschwanstein isn't much older than Walt Disney (the person). It certainly didn't have to worry about knights in armor charging up to storm the castle walls. It even had the beginnings of electric lights installed (Though maybe that was Lindehof). Its strange to think these sort of castles were still being built at the end of the 1800s.

I'm not too much of a "kitsch" fan either, one of the reasons I never went to see Neuschwanstein since I grew older. I have little to no doubt that it is quite beautifull there andI would probably have loved to go there as a kid or wouth, but these days I don't find myself too interested in making the trip. I'm more into the medieval type castles I guess, those more obviously built to withstand a long siege, hehe...

Oh, and Munich it is...

Um, no it doesn't. How many new systems can you buy with a GeForce2 DDR in it? How many orders is nVidia getting for new GeForce2 DDR chips?

Answer: None.

Really? None? Because 4 months ago GF2 chips made up more then half of Nvidia's total sales (TNT2 was 35%, BTW). The numbers for these older chips should be much lower by now, but I am fairly sure that GF2 still makes up a fair portion of Nvidia's sales.

Let's not forget that Ti 200 was introduced under $200 and within a couple of months could be found for less then $150. Today its cheap, supported, and easy to find - and that, IMO, makes it an attractive value product.

="Doomtrooper"Speaking from experience with over 1000 hours of matches of UT under my belt Randell is correct, if your pulling 30-40 fps on a multiplayer game with 8 bots running around you are simply target practice.

Weak argument which u seem to love

You leave a few esentials out and did you really ever play like that I know I did with my crap tnt2 m64

with a ping less or slightly over 100 an avarage fps of 50 with a drop to 30 when it is really intens (all 8 or 12 up close shooting) you still can kick major arse.
8)

Your 1000 hrs of n00b gameplay with your fps argument tells nothing else then that your a bad player and don't know what ur talking about.

I've seen many in England (Windsor and one near Poole)

Wow, weird to hear Poole mentioned on here, it's where I live. I'm guessing your talking about Corfe Castle, right?

 

[Ailuros]

Funny how I found that Bockwurst/Bier/Oktoberfest - OT *ahem* more interesting then the rest of the thread.

Nice Doomtrooper; if you got kids pay a visit to Ludwigsburg next time (at least it's much closer to Crailsheim). I loved it as a kid

I was ranked #1 in world kid on NG stats for 3 weeks running, and that wasn't some lass A$$ facing worlds match.
If you think you are good I'd be glad to set up a match at our server, put up or shutup.
