While I don't care for most of her other music, nothing comes close to the scathing hate I feel for that particular song. Noteworthy, because there aren't many songs I can think of that can inspire that particular emotion.

    Oddly enough, "Born This Way" happens to be one of them
    The song is actually a parody of that attitude. It ended up being taken seriously.

    Question for those who know computers better than I. Would it be cheaper to buy a whole new computer in general, or to upgrade pretty much everything in the one I have? I definitely need to get it more memory (do I do that with an exportable hard drive), more RAM, and I need to upgrade the video card and CPU. All stuff I've been meaning to do for at least two years, but I'd like to play The Witcher 2 at high settings, so I figure it's time.
    If the ventilation on your case is really good, then upgrade it.

    I was actually surprised that my computer couldn't do the ultra settings on Witcher 2. I could bump it up to ultra and turn off a few useless things (like motion blur, HUUUUU), but I just have it at high and it still looks amazing with a great framerate.

    You're gonna need a pretty beefy computer to do it at the highest settings, and I'd imagine 2 graphics cards or one far outside of my price range. I've got an XFX GTX 285 and it hasn't done me wrong.

    Also, memory is pretty cheap now. You can get a 1tb external for 100 and an internal one for less.

    Only 2.3g of free hard drive space, this is the one that really needs an upgrade.
    Slap another 6gb of ram on that, upgrade to a 64 bit system, and, well, lack of hard drive space is your own fault, storage is cheap.

    Personally, I'd buy a new machine, but that's me, I waste money.
    Does anyone chart anymore? le sigh.

    Basically just disable the "ubersampling" option and that'll help quite a bit (it's 8X supersampling anti-aliasing - it'll kill performance on almost any PC).

    EDIT: Holy crap, the album art for the new Opeth album is awesome.
