  1. The FOV slider was added with a day one patch. I'm well aware...
  2. I played it a little bit yesterday. For PC gamers: I was not able to get crossfire working with the game. Gonna have to wait for a profile or update. There is no FOV slider. You can edit the fov by editing an xml file in your documents folder. Eyefinity works out of the box but there are a couple graphical quirks. Use SMAA for ambient occlusion or you may get weird lighting effects. After I figured out all those things the game looks and runs pretty well. Can't really comment on gameplay yet but the main antagonist seems like a crazy sonofabitch so far.
  3. You know, I think this may be worth a shot. It is the same battery I've had in it since the beginning. This is something worth trying.
  4. Before you read, please keep an open mind. I am super hesitant to post this because of the internet mob mentality and people are just going to flame me for this but I am not a believer in the DD1. I have had the DD1 for over a year and every single time I use it to set the gains on either a high's amp or a sub amp it still leaves me with a distorted signal. The unit SAYS it isn't clipping, but then you hook the subs back up and turn it up to the 'maximum undistorted signal' and you can still smell the coils. This isn't user error. The unit is stupid easy to use and that's one of the reasons I wanted to like it so much. Here is how I use it. 1. plug rca's from head unit directly into dd1 and play track 1, turn up until clipping, then back down a notch and record number. 2. play track 2 and turn up until clipping, then back down a notch and record number. 3. average 2 numbers to get max undistorted head unit volume. next (for highs) 4. connect red terminal to speaker plus output of amp and black alligator clip to amp ground. 5. play track 4 and turn head unit volume to max undistorted output and turn gain up until clipping, then back down a notch. 6. connect speakers and you should be able to play them at max undistorted volume without clipping. Things to consider... a. I do all this with vehicle running. b. All of the music I listen to comes from google play music. It is music that google has stored on their servers and not music I have uploaded to a cloud account. c. yes, when setting the gains i set all crossovers to full and open the frequencies wide up. I turn off bass boosts and things of that sort. Even after following every step, it still manages to fuck up speakers. I just got done 'tuning' my buddies install that we've been working on and we unded up frying 3 of the super tweeters and the subs smelled like they were cooking. I couldn't even get the volume to be within 5 notches of where the dd1 claimed it could be undistorted. The mids sounded all distorted, the super tweeters blew, and the subs started smelling, all within a minute or two of testing. I'm honestly better off setting gains by ear. Can anyone see anything wrong with the way I'm using it or what? I want to like it but at the moment I don't believe it works.
  5. This is a great video to show people exactly how NOT to act when officers have their guns drawn on you. That idiot deserves to be dead.
  6. There are other things to consider, but in this scenario, yes, it is worth it to me to spend the extra 226 to have a sub with some character. Looks will always be a factor for me and I cringe every time I see a new sub with this basket.
  7. Why don't we stop comparing him to sundown? It's a 12 spoke basket and a magnet with extended back plate like everyone else. Good looking sub guys!! I love the hate on this 12 spoke basket...but everyone else's 12 spoke basket (identical basket) is ok somehow. why is it only a problem when he does it? Its not. I hate this basket no matter which brand uses it. Has nothing to do with skar.
  8. The latest I've read is that the police have stopped their tactics against the protestors to let them do their thing, but of course it has to be done peacefully. The moment violence and theft breaks out, I'm all for them using tear gas and rubber bullets.
  9. Yea Steve. I live in St. Louis and all this shit happened not but a few miles north where I live. Saint Louis really freaks out when something big happens and It's downright disgusting what those looters did. The cops aren't just walking around here picking on people. That dude made a bad decision and he paid for it dearly. They are just now getting on the same page as the protesters.
  10. So how much money is saved by going with the same baskets that everyone else uses? Def wouldn't be inverting these...
  11. Hell I would put a turbo on my lawnmower if I could, simply because turbos are badass. DO IT!
  12. Wait, so did you tell him you had shipped it when you hadn't or am I reading that wrong?
  13. Easy there partner. I wouldn't go that far. It's definitely tight though. My question is, what kind of charging system does this thing have? Obviously you aren't going to be running that many watts but is there some kind of charging system to keep the batts fresh? or will you have to charge them every once in awhile?
