Off Topic / Fall Semester

« on: August 27, 2006, 11:34:07 pm »

Starts Monday morning for me, so my time will be cut back a bit (16 credit hours this semester

). I'll still be around plenty in the evening / end of the week, but I'll be very scarce during tests weeks.

Try it out, the combat is great. Uses the Source Engine. I'm keeping my eye on this one.

Check out Walrus's post:

http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/posts/list.m?topic_id=36300001692

Up until August 25th, they are taking votes on where to hold the SOE Fan Faire next year. The 3 choices are:

* March 9 - Orlando, Florida
* March 13 - Denver, Colorado
* June 28 - Las Vegas, Nevada

If none of these locations are near you, out of your travel range, or you simply don't care where it's held, please vote for Orlando!

I'm frequently in Orlando, and I would go. Plus, this would be a nice opportunity for a big East Coast meet (sorry, Westies!

).

Vote for Quimby! (Orlando :p)

« on: July 05, 2006, 09:03:34 pm »

Off Topic / Prey

« on: June 23, 2006, 03:30:54 am »

You guys remember when the F.E.A.R. demo came out, we all downloaded it, played it, discussed it, and loved it?

Well, if you like great demos, and and good first person shooters, you owe it to yourself to try out Prey. I just got through most of the demo (quite lengthy), and it's great.

I'll probably pick this one up when it comes out.

The "Fallen Angels"? Ever seen these guys around, or even heard of them?

He's dressed in all white in the sig...where have I seen that before? Oh, wait! Us!

More flattery?

Off Topic / Needing your help deciding on a new motherboard!

« on: June 20, 2006, 04:48:30 pm »

I'm getting a new mobo and video card, and here's the only two options I'm going to have for the motherboard.

I'll throw up what I see as pros and cons, and hopefully if you're knowledgable about these brands you can throw some comments in there as well.

Option 1:

http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813153035

Pros: Socket 754 AND 939, for future upgrades.
Cons: Only 1 PCI-e slot, so no SLI for me. Also, Jetway seems pretty generic, but it has good customer reviews.

Option 2:

http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813123257

Pros: SLI Capable(Two PCI-e slots)
Cons: Only Socket 754, so very, very limited room for upgrades. Also, another generic brand, but good reviews.

Other information and help I need:

Can anyone confirm that these have the ability to take IDE HDD's and SATA HDD's, which is what I understand so far.

Also, I am in dire need a tutorial on how to take loosen up the thermal paste without damaging neither the heatsink nor the chip when I remove the processor. How do I do this safely, and how do I clean the heatsink and chip?

Thanks much for your help! Let me know what you think ASAP, I want to order one of these tommorow. I'm leaning towards Option 1.

Oh, by the way, here's the videocard I'm nabbing.

General / Rarebit Opens A (Massive) Can

« on: June 15, 2006, 11:24:28 pm »

Three people threw a hissy fit on the forums because they were silenced during an in-game event today. It looks like Rarebit decided to take off his belt and lay the law of the land down. Enjoy!

Off Topic / Dead Video Card

« on: June 07, 2006, 05:40:45 pm »

My video card died (a first for me), and Newegg is going to replace it for me.

Luckily, I have another fully decked-out computer up and running, so I won't miss a beat!

Off Topic / Who says smoking is a bad habit?

« on: May 23, 2006, 05:57:44 am »

Damn - I was browsing through some of my old posts when I came across this story - wayyyy to long.

The abbreviated version: I got a guy busted during a break-in down the street while I was smoking a cigarette.
