#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.

  • Ole
    Can you email a screenshot to ole at tuxmedia dot tv? It's the same format as it always has been...
  • annihilatorape
    it says its the wrong format to play on the ipod (i have the ipod video 30g)
  • Ole
    Thanks :) Glad to hear you're enjoying it more; so are we.
  • c17estrada
    I like the podcast better now . Its the way it was before all the junk adds and goodnessssssssss. drove me nuts... Good luck guys your doing a great job .Thanks Ron
  • wuz
    ye, video
  • Ole
    I assume you guys are having problems with the video getting on the ipod, or the mp3?
  • Ole
    I don't have that problem #34...
  • Annihilatorape
    why does the download go to another page then says downloading in the bottom left of internet explorer but never does anything.
  • wuz
    ye, i hav the same problem, xD, i just didnt say anything cos i hough it wer just me. But ye, you can convert it anyway.
  • Ole
    I have no idea. Does iTunes offer you the option of converting it to your ipod?
  • Annihilatorape
    whys wont these podcasts transfer to my ipod video. i had no problem from eggs media, but now its says it cant be fransfered or played on my ipod...

    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
  • Poco Loco
    was that freshness or was that freshness
  • 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.
  • MurderDogg
    sorry for second thought(post), but it runs better than my new quad core system. Damn Vista.
  • MurderDogg
    Pentium D 830, nvidia 7900GS, It`s my 3 Gb RAM that gives me a spawn first advantage(allbeit 533mhz ram).
  • 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.
  • 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
  • OldMan-DK
    Good show.forgotten hope 2..i cant wait
  • 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!
  • Ole
    #18: It works in IE7 as well.
  • Great show, lots more bf2 game talk and a lot less fluff that has been creeping in with the old format.
  • Hee
    that's true Cr1pPl3r we don't have to tell them
  • Firefox1948
    Is it b/c I am using IE7?
  • Ole
    RE #14: The forums link works fine for me...
  • Cr1pPl3r
    Greast pod cast Guys. As far as the apache VS the Gunship its not against the Rules if you dont tell them LOL
  • 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
  • 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
  • Firefox1948
    Hey all,
  • Ole
    We'll see about that... :p
  • 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.
  • 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!!"
  • JudgementDay
    Oh BTW Poco Loco, you did a great job!!
  • Ole
    Chicked Wings... hehe, oops. I will fix that.
  • JudgementDay
    Kudos to the lower thirds!!! Hip hip hurray!! Sweet!
  • 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!!!!
  • 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?
  • SoulAssassin
    Verrrrry nice episode
  • Ole
    Did you guys like the new lower thirds?
  • 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
  • Brett
    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.
