I know, she got unpermabanned (gonna call it UPB) 5 times today, but who UBPed her? but she went out with a bang, especially partially reviving that thread

Who knows who UBP'd Gballzack, same with Kwaad's three PBs and subsequent UBPs.

As far as I know, only mods and ioi have the tools to ban and unban, so it even seems there's a bit of "moderator animosity" or disrespect towards each other, who knows? Perhaps a lack of real rules and standards (which currently are not upheld in the slightest) would help, but then again, it's hard to say because as it stands, this whole ban and unban, "keep it civil, guys" thing is a joke to the "law-abiding" members and in fact favors trolls and flamers.

Edit: Gballzack is not lurking, but actively posting.

It's true that I haven't played it for a while, but I'm pretty positive that that "Wii" image of Zelda is fake. The game just doesn't have anywhere close to that level of detail, especially in Link's clothes.

Here's a real screenshot...

The Shot is from Super Smash Bros Brawl, Not Twilight Princess.

 


I'm not sure what game that Borkachev screenshot's from, but I do know it is a horribly, horribly compressed jpeg.



Sigh...again?

These are all in-game models:



LEFT4DEAD411.COM
Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

The same model while playing doesn't look any different from the one shown in the previous picture.

Looks like it was my mistake. Is that shot from Cars real? I haven't played the game to know.

Supposedly.  I haven't played it either.  I found it on a Kotaku screenshot comparison article.



Is it just me or can we not go a day without someone bringing up Gballzack. It's like she's more famous after she got banned.



 

 

man, made a believer out of me. I'm a happy wii owner but as of late I had been a bit worried about the power of the system (not that it would detract from my enjoyment of it), but these contrasts are incredible. The wii definately is more than a couple of gamecubes duct taped together as some trolls like to say. It's definately a next gen system.



You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

It is an improvement indeed, I wasnt expecting link to look that different on the GC(I wasnt into zelda at that time), wii sure does have better graphics compared to GC.

It's amazing what textures with shader can do to make a game look better (referring to the Link pictures, which are amazing). I own Star Wars: Empire at War, its a RTS with a huge graphical load due to all the particles; since my laptop has only 1 Gig of RAM it can't run the game at max quality.
In the options menu there is "detail" and "shader" sliders that can be set high, medium, or low. I can only set one on high or else the game gets choppy, naturally I had always set the "detail" to high and left shader at low. One day by accident I switched the two settings, went for high shader and low detail... It was amazing, everything looked so much more realistic and, just better.

Conclusion: Upping the levels of shade on a character increases "realistic" appearance without putting much strain on the processor. My guess is doubling the shade doubles the quality of the image, while doubling the texture increase quality by ~50%, and increasing textures are much more demanding on the CPU
