| 00:17.31 | Eraclito | i don't think i have more friends to invite to WoW |
| 00:18.20 | Eraclito | i did it five times. the first, it was before the zhevra was implemented. the second, the dude missclicked the link in the mail and registered himself without linking his account to mine. i contacted blizzard but "we can't help you" |
| 00:18.37 | Eraclito | the third, the guy just played the trial |
| 00:18.53 | Eraclito | the fourth i got the rocket and the fifth i got the ... weird flying panther transformation |
| 00:23.46 | kullervo | Eraclito: I've found rewards from those systems I didn't know I ever did anything for |
| 00:24.02 | kullervo | still got one lvl 80 ding available |

| 00:47.04 | Eraclito | it'll be expensive :P |
| 00:47.40 | Eraclito | the local gamestop sells base WoW for 5 euros, but the two months are still full priced |

| 01:15.08 | Eraclito | also the old expansions ones |
| 01:35.37 | Amarande | I didn't even realise it was hallow's end when I logged on wow the other day |
| 01:35.42 | Amarande | until next thing I heard HH's spiel |
| 01:39.33 | kullervo | Eraclito: I really CBA, I loot that much in a day without doing anything specific |
| 01:39.44 | kullervo | flying around sucks if you don't do it 1) with guildies 2) with booze |
| 01:56.31 | Amarande | yeah, now I'm realising what I'm missing from the last time I played WoW |
| 01:56.34 | Amarande | I'm out of liquor |
| 01:56.34 | Amarande | :| |
| 01:56.58 | Amarande | I should remedy that situation :| |
| 01:57.11 | Amarande | tomorrow or saturday perhaps, since they don't sell liquor in this state after 9pm |
| 02:00.53 | kullervo | I decided soon after my birthday that I wouldn't drink for the rest of this year |
| 02:01.26 | kullervo | this may have something to do with the copious amounts I was convinced to have to celebrate the event |
| 02:09.48 | Amarande | mostly I haven't been drinking much in a while because it wasn't in the budget |
| 02:10.11 | Amarande | actually I still will probably have to amex it if I buy anything good, since I need most of my next four paychecks to pay off the amex from *this* billing period, thanks to vacation heh |
| 02:10.37 | kullervo | yeah that too. Just spent like $2k on hardware |
| 02:12.53 | kullervo | eh my GPU fan is making an annoying whiny noise when I'm running 3dmark |
| 02:13.02 | kullervo | well I'm HOPING for it to be the fan, anyway. |

| 02:13.58 | Amarande | ... speaking of credit cards, also let's pay my mastercard bill before I end up with another late payment for the same reason as the one and only time I ever paid it late a couple years ago :P |
| 02:14.42 | Amarande | man, that has got to be the single lamest reason to pay a credit card bill late, that time :P |
| 02:14.59 | Amarande | I even had plenty of money on hand at the time too |
| 02:15.00 | Amarande | guess what I did |
| 02:15.04 | kullervo | forgot |
| 02:15.08 | Amarande | yup heh |
| 02:15.18 | Amarande | two days after the due date I'm like "oh shit did I pay that bill this month" :| |
| 02:15.36 | Amarande | funny thing is that meanwhile I tend to think about the amex bill pretty religiously |
| 02:15.50 | Amarande | maybe it's because I actually *use* my amex frequently and barely ever charge anything on the mc |
| 02:17.56 | Amarande | kullervo: you probably have a crappy GPU fan |
| 02:18.03 | Amarande | maybe the equivalent of amd bulldozer cpu fans :) |
| 02:18.26 | Amarande | hah there's apparently jokes that bulldozer was called that because typically the stock fan will sound like one |
| 02:19.50 | kullervo | Amarande: no it's actually a fairly high quality one |
| 02:20.25 | kullervo | DCU2 |

| 02:24.10 | Amarande | I wish I had 2k to drop on hardware, I keep looking at newegg at upgrades |
| 02:24.28 | Amarande | though I'm not sure I would even manage to spend that much unless maybe I did something really crazy like get a titan or something |
| 02:24.37 | kullervo | no, GTX 780 OC edition |
| 02:24.47 | Amarande | mostly I'm looking at a haswell, mobo for it, and ssd |
| 02:31.03 | kullervo | Amarande: http://kullervo.dy.fi/pub/drop/txt/Azrael.htm |
| 02:31.25 | kullervo | idk where it got that "media center edition" though, this is W7Pro x64 |
| 02:31.37 | Amarande | oh no wonder you dropped 2k |
| 02:31.41 | kullervo | probably because I have an old version, some o this stuff |
| 02:31.43 | Amarande | did you buy four 780's? |
| 02:31.46 | kullervo | haha no |
| 02:32.10 | kullervo | also remember dollar is really low value right now |
| 02:32.37 | Amarande | I think it might call it media center edition on any machine that has Media Center installed |
| 02:32.42 | Amarande | and if I remember right win7 came with it standard |
| 02:33.44 | Amarande | I probably won't be getting a K haswell myself, though |
| 02:33.56 | Amarande | I never OC, and if I don't OC I can save a bunch of money on the mobo by getting H87 |
| 02:34.02 | Amarande | because Z87 is really only worth it if you *do* OC |
| 02:34.33 | kullervo | you should consider the server haswells |
| 02:34.54 | kullervo | can't remember the model name but this one elite geek recommended those if I wasn't planning to OC or anything |
| 02:35.14 | kullervo | they have better cooling because the cover is soldered on instead of having a stupidly bad thermal paste |
| 02:35.39 | Amarande | apparently z87's only advantages over h87 are basically oc and the ability to use three video cards |
| 02:35.50 | Amarande | because, yanno, people totally want to use tri-sli with 20 pcie lanes :p |
| 02:36.34 | Amarande | "hey, a Porsche runs fast, let's have three Porsches on a two-lane country road!" |
| 02:36.46 | kullervo | does H have the same parts though? |
| 02:37.06 | kullervo | like intel LAN adapter and so on |
| 02:37.36 | kullervo | you probably don't care about the power components but they have huge differences as well |
| 02:37.59 | kullervo | oh also, I just ordered a 250/50Mbps connection |
| 02:38.08 | kullervo | this better be good |
| 02:39.06 | Amarande | if I remember the article I read, H *supports* the same parts |
| 02:39.09 | kullervo | guess how much it costs |
| 02:39.26 | Amarande | a lot of mobo manufacturers apparently cut back on things like USB and SATA ports on the H boards to try to push more people to buy the Z, though |
| 02:39.48 | Amarande | but in terms of the base tech the Z doesn't really have much of anything beyond OC and tri-SLI |
| 02:40.20 | Amarande | kullervo: one forsaken child's soul, delivered to ISP headquarters in a faraday cage to prevent any energy escape? |
| 02:40.34 | kullervo | 40e/month |
| 02:40.37 | Amarande | wow |
| 02:40.44 | kullervo | some years ago you could get like.. 10/1 line with that |
| 02:40.46 | Amarande | I wish we had stuff like that in the US (outside of fios cities anyway) |
| 02:41.00 | Amarande | think the most we can usually get in the states is 100/something |
| 02:41.10 | Amarande | well unless you pay for an enterprise link anyway |
| 02:41.25 | Amarande | but that really pretty much DOES charge in forsaken child's souls, or maybe stolen kidneys |
| 02:42.07 | kullervo | wtf 3dmark costs like 25€? |
| 02:42.09 | Amarande | but then that's basically one of the rules of the world, with enough gold you can do more or less anything |
| 02:42.16 | Amarande | heh I just had a reaction like that myself |
| 02:42.22 | Amarande | "wtf AIDA64 costs 40 bucks?" |
| 02:47.25 | kullervo | if I had a more powerful PSU or if I were more adventurous and willing to install 2 PSUs at once, I'd try to add the old 460 in the mix JUST as a physX accelerator |
| 02:48.20 | kullervo | http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/1474457? |
| 02:48.22 | kullervo | well, fuck |
| 02:48.33 | kullervo | a Titan would get 300 more points |

| 03:16.56 | Amarande | heh, I wonder if I'm even a medium end gaming PC with this spec |
| 03:17.03 | Amarande | I'm still on a Phenom II X6, and this card is an HD 7850 2GB |
| 03:17.21 | kullervo | you know why I got the 780 instead of something cheaper? |
| 03:17.35 | Amarande | so you won't have to upgrade again for another couple years? |
| 03:17.37 | kullervo | going to buy a 4k IPS panel |
| 03:17.42 | Amarande | ah |
| 03:17.52 | Amarande | you might need even more than that |
| 03:18.09 | Amarande | some in ##hardware almost suggest that you practically need SLI Titans to do 4k |
| 03:18.23 | kullervo | no wait |
| 03:18.24 | kullervo | no |
| 03:18.28 | Amarande | I'm also wondering if once 4k becomes standard, also gone will be the days of single-card gaming, dual wield will pretty much become the standard |
| 03:18.36 | kullervo | 2560xsomething |
| 03:18.52 | kullervo | anyway ridiculous |
| 03:19.01 | Amarande | and probably also dual wielding cards that will make your power meter spin like vegas slots :p |
| 03:19.09 | kullervo | :D |
| 03:19.31 | Amarande | heh next thing you know american gamers will keep getting cops visiting them thanks to the video requirements :P |
| 03:19.42 | Amarande | since they'll look at the power usage pattern and think they're running grow lights or something LOL |
| 03:20.36 | kullervo | some years ago, like. uh. 10 years ago, a tech columnist made a joke about one of the reasons people could use for the new nuclear power plant was the increasing power requirement of gaming graphics cards |
| 03:24.04 | Amarande | kullervo: actually I've sometimes wondered if gaming is partly responsible for the present energy situation :( |
| 03:24.09 | Amarande | and really home PCs in general |
| 03:24.14 | Amarande | whether they've become a distinctly two-edged sword because of it |
| 03:24.33 | kullervo | not really |
| 03:24.40 | Amarande | remember, back in the 70s, even early 80s, what did you have in your room that used electricity |
| 03:24.50 | kullervo | it's irrelevant compared to heavy industry |
| 03:24.51 | Amarande | a light, maybe a clock radio, maybe an A/C unit if it got hot a lot |
| 03:25.06 | Amarande | now people have computers and TVs and everything guzzling power, certainly |
| 03:25.38 | Amarande | yeah, it actually partially balances out for many a bedroom too |
| 03:26.02 | Amarande | a lot of lower end computer specs actually have a power draw in the 150W range it seems |
| 03:26.21 | Amarande | and now a lot of that extra power usage gets made up for by the transition to CFL light bulbs |
| 03:26.33 | Amarande | since that light has gone from 60-100W to 13-34W |

| 03:36.39 | Amarande | oh heh I just realised it's available on steam |

| 04:25.50 | Amarande | hm let's see what 3dmark does on my machine |
| 04:25.55 | Amarande | oh, c'mon, ANOTHER vc redist install? |
| 04:26.07 | Amarande | dammit, why can't there be unified one-time-install libraries for that shit like on linux :( |
| 04:26.34 | fewyn | because each version is slightly different |
| 04:26.56 | Amarande | ah, I'm guessing .dll must be a lot more exacting than .so when it comes to versions, too |
| 04:27.22 | Amarande | with .so stuff tends to only break if there's a really major change |
| 04:46.35 | Amarande | ouch that kicked a bit of wind out of my sails |
| 04:46.37 | Amarande | http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/1474901? |
| 04:46.47 | Amarande | apparently my desktop is only slightly better than a gaming laptop :| |
| 04:47.45 | kullervo | :D |
| 04:48.37 | Amarande | the way the fire strike one was going I was almost thinking it was going to say "YOU HAVE A TABLET" |
| 04:48.38 | Amarande | heh |
| 04:49.04 | kullervo | I'll try it on my laptop too |
| 04:49.08 | kullervo | got to install first |
| 04:51.02 | Amarande | the one trouble with 3dmark is ... there's no real way for it to tell you if you're CPU or GPU bound :| |
| 04:51.15 | kullervo | but... there is? |
| 04:51.22 | kullervo | it does cpu tests separately |
| 04:51.35 | kullervo | at least used to, I didn't pay attention this time |
| 04:53.35 | Amarande | like when I get haswell, am I still going to see things be almost as crappy, I guess I'm wondering heh |
| 05:39.20 | kullervo | Amarande: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/1475015? |
| 05:39.50 | kullervo | not sure if this underclocked itself because of heating |
| 05:40.01 | Amarande | yow. |
| 05:40.22 | Amarande | speaking of cpus, I'm still wondering now what the AMD A6 and A8 APUs are good for, at all |
| 05:40.56 | Amarande | like ... if you're building a desktop and planning on using an APU, there is no real excuse not to get the A10, it's cheap enough |
| 05:41.19 | Amarande | if you're building something like a NAS box or a cheap websurfer terminal, an A4 is good enough |
| 05:41.26 | Amarande | there seems no point to the others :| |
