    Reminds me of Half Life 2 and having to stack barrels...this is just on a massive scale. The video is pretty sick. I couldn't imagine having to wait for it to render XD

    that explosion was on epic proportions.

    That was intense stuff!! He has a quadcore and he said his PC would shut down if he look at the explosion that is just amazing.

    Personally i thought one of the funnest things to do was sneak live grenades into somebodies pocket. I took a video of it when I was first testing uploading HD videos to youtube so this one is one of mine:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYYxSsKnuZ0&fmt=22

    Im still cooking out HD gameplay vids pretty often I tried to put up a Crysis Warhead clip yesterday but YouTube kicked it back at me because it was like 10 seconds too long. Really crappy considering it was like a 2 hour encode and I do not know a way to cut a clip without re-rendering it.

    All my stuff is really high quality H264 encodes now, way overkill for youtube since they cut down the quality anyways.

    I stopped playing FO3 to play Dead Space & Mirrors Edge and now its hard to get back into it I kind of forgot where/what I left off, and I was at the end of the game and decided to re-roll my guy so I have yet to beat the game.

    Lets hope little kids don't see that, they'll be sticking their teeth back in their mouth with glue so they don't have to put it under their pillow ;]

    Keep in mind the guy's CPU was a Q6600, a fairly average QC. A QX9770 or an i7 940 would do the job.
