I hate the progression of techonology. The last fav. game I had before JK was Duke Nukem 3d, and on my P90 I could choke a good 40 fps for average and up to 120 in some places. (Got it over 300 with some wierd sector error once)
I used to think that any FPS under 30 was horrible. Now it's more like anything over 30 is a gift from god himself, even on the PII 300 Voodoo2 64meg SDRam systems. (sidenote - I get no less than 12 FPS in fragfactory, on my P90 [of course, I have to run in 320x200])
Of course, I am getting my computer upgraded (more like overhauled.) as soon as I hear back from my friend in Arizona. But still, things are starting to get annoyingly faster, and having to buy a new $1000+ computer every two years is not my idea of a fun time.
my $.03 (more than you wanted to know)
