I hate when the merc goes from 3rd gear to 1st and then starts spinning at 30mph
Most of the times i get "scared", i always expect it to go down only one gear and no spinning :S
you can't manually select your gear?


I hate that as well... the z28 will normally only do it if you are going to slow in 2nd gear. go trying to take off you expect it to just stay in 2nd then you think uh oh... time for 1st, at which point you go straight into a burnout and you better be ready for some counter steer. Not fun with other cars around either. :screwyouguys

I just can limit it to go over any gear, but not directly select it.

When you drink vodka over ice, it can give you kidney failure.

When you drink rum over ice, it can give you liver failure.

When you drink whiskey over ice, it can give you heart problems.

When you drink gin over ice, it can give you brain problems.

Apparently, ice is really bad for you.

Warn all your friends.

I've been keeping an eye on E3... this looks to be the most interesting announcement so far.


This Elder Scrolls MMO looks cool too.

I do plan on it, but I just keep pushing it back... I rarely play video games anymore, it's hard for me to motivate myself to play lately. All my friends are on Diablo right now... They keep trying to talk me into running it on my laptop or my junk desktop at home, because apparently it will run on a calculator. I won't do it without a proper PC on a big screen though.

I've got guns on the brain right now, most of my free time is spent doing various shooting sports.

welllll it might RUN on your junk desktop but you aren't going to be able to max out all the settings.

It doesn't really take much to max out the settings either though... but you might lag when you get into big fights if you don't have enough overhead.

Im not a super gamer but I spend some free time at night before I go to bed chopping things up.

I'd feel like a schmuck if I tried to run it on my desktop, so I'd rather not bother.

yea just a decent mid-grade system will run d3 max. But im sure once you build one you'll want to dip back in to PC gaming so i'd say build a solid mid grade or solid high grade.... no reason to really get crazy and go insane-o high grade.

If you get a solid mid..... you leave holes for upgrades that will take you into high grade, without busting your bank.

What's the price range for mid-tier these days? A grand?

hellllllllllllllllllllll no

you can make a solid d3 gaming system for 700 eassssssssssssssssssssy. and the 700 could even have some overhead to move into 1000 territory.


things have changed... if you price right and REALLY REALLY watch the parts, 7/800 could get you a killer system. Look at what corey has.........no upgrade needs for over a year AND playing BF3

you don't have to touch 1,000 unless you wanna move into the big stuff.

When I built my last one a mid-grade was $1500... lol, after you factor in monitor, and peripherals.

I wouldn't want to upgrade every year though, I'd probably want something that would last like 5 years if possible. I'm not sure if it can be done reasonably priced though.

you could make a solid build that would only need maybe mem and video cards upgrades.
