You play BC2 with a 2310 and your 460-SLi rig? How is your fps?

Nope, I took them off their stands and have them leant up against some boxes against my wall, all in a perfect line. It's awesome.

So they finally fixed origin's facebook search feature, one problem though:

Click to view full size!

You would think someone else in my friend list would have it considering Australians search "origin" the most. http://www.google.com.au/trends?q=Origin

EVEN for "Origin EA" in 2011: http://www.google.com.au/trends?q=Or...ate=all&sort=0

And on another note, couldnt origin sue origin for having a similar symbol & the same name?

I mean, telstra or optus wouldnt allow another telstra or optus so why not a power company..?

They probably wouldn't do anything because:

a) They're not a competitor

b) Origin is a dictionary word, meaning the begining of an existance. I'm not sure you could really stop someone from using that name.

c) Origin energy is an Aus company, EA's origin is American (I think?)


That facebook problem is a bit of a pain. I'm also having trouble linking my xbox live account. Not off to a good start!

Also, can anyone get origin to minimise on startup? Steam can do it, why won't origin!

Post Battlefield 3 Coming With Ultra Settings For PC's

Sorry if this is a double post:

This is good news for those gamers who already have powerful PC's and is further proof that BF3's PC version is not a console extension. We do not know if EA's screenshots and videos of Battlefield 3 were recorded with the "Ultra" setting. The ultra setting may make it into the Battlefield 3 beta which is due out next month.

With maximum graphics, you can expect to see graphics similar to the below screenshots of Battlefield 3. These are the latest official BF3 screenshots from EA!

Relax lol, as I've said before AMD should have their 7 series just about out by the time we get retail bf3, then we buy the appropriate gear. I think a single 580 should get me by though.
