Norton will surely save them!
[QUOTE=The Baconator;42603117]the desperation is growing[/QUOTE]
I've received reports of armed attacks on shipments. There's not enough copies to go around, and the underclasses are starting to get desperate.
[QUOTE=MasterFen006;42610512]It's obvious from the installer icon it isn't official :I[/QUOTE]
Looks like it was made with the ClickTeam Install Creator.
Someone contact rogueamp to run it in a VM.

Danooct1 does the funnier ones. So this one could be an AmpDan1 video.

Oh my, this has to be best thing I've read in a while.
LOL, really, is it hard to check out release dates, I mean....for fucks sake, you are smart enough to download a torrent, you are smart enough to know if there's something fishy going on.
Hahahah, can't stop laughing at the notion of a dude saying "Hey, GTA5 for PC, cool!" like that and seeing it's PC become crap
probably 25% FBI tracked child porn, 15% adware, 5% bitcoins miners, and the rest horribly fucked up Trojans and viruses
if you fall for it you're a fucking dimwit
[QUOTE=endorphinsam;42610377]lol theres not 30 gb worth of "super high quality uncompressed textures"
there's 20GB worth of super high quality uncompressed loading screen videos, though.[/QUOTE]
Did I say there was 30 gigs worth of Super high quality uncompressed textures? No, I certainly did not. However the textures in the PC version of MP3 are indeed super high quality, many of which uncompressed.

[QUOTE=Technopath;42606743]You could call them idiots for downloading a game that hasn't even been announced or released for PC, but the size difference isn't that much and you'd be an idiot to assume the size will be the same. There's a lot of factors that could contribute to a larger size, higher-res textures, audio files with less compression, multiple language support, extra content, I could go on but I believe I've made it pretty obvious now.[/QUOTE]
Ya don't say! If you actually read into what I was saying you would realize that's the exact point I was making last night.
I realize I should have worded my OP better, but damn people read the thread a bit more!

I like when they dont do idiotic shit like put DXT compression on normal maps (which fucks the lighting over as miserably as possible), but theres some point of not compressing things where you're just going overboard
I havent checked Max Payne 3 personally, but I'm fairly sure a lot of that is sounds that could be a lot smaller without any audible difference, for textures, you could slap something lossless if you so wanted and it'd still cut it in half in a lot of cases, and you could decompress faster than its read from disk anyways

MP3 really went overboard on that. They even said that all their sounds are higher quality than the console ones, along with the obligatory more detailed textures and cutscenes.
We still have the toxx from samoht saying that if GTA V comes to pc (Which he said there isn't and claimed to have insider info), Craptasket gets to permaban him.
Oh man, this is getting tense. :v:

[QUOTE=ashxu;42604119]Highly likely just 18gb of nothing.[/QUOTE]
it has to be something. could just be arbitrary nonsense data, copy pasted filler or something else.
[QUOTE=Kuro.;42603919]At least it wasn't lostboy.exe or 18gb of dolphin porn.[/QUOTE]
oh fuck, I remember that lostboy thing.
I couldn't stop fucking laughing. someone should have made a collage dubbed "The Faces of /v/" because there was some pretty interesting-looking people.
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;42605507]Who wrote this article, Franziska von Karma?[/QUOTE]
You've made my day
Are there any specific details? Where was the torrent from and also how many people downloaded it?
[QUOTE=benbb;42608414]And then the survey doesn't work.[/QUOTE]
I remember 1nce I pirated MW2 and had to do the survey thing on sharecash. it worked and then I used wine to launch the crack. It crashed and it was apparently connecting to some network to download a botnet. heh
[QUOTE=PollytheParrot;42603152]It was actually legit so the jokes on you guys.I'm playing right now. Everyone here should try it![/QUOTE]
