So far, I've only installed Borderlands, and it runs at 100 some frames per second. I don't have time to install anything else right now though.
:wcc:When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back! GET MAD. I don't want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that BURNS YOUR HOUSE DOWN!:wcc:

I'd never buy a laptop - they suck ass for gaming - I bought an acer aspire 8920 for 100 € (135,94 $) and the ATI graphics card produces more input lag than anything else on the planet - It's basically my desktop box when i'm at boarding school during the week (screen not even repaired yet - just hooked up a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and there we go)

Edit:
Got the laptop for that cheap because the backlight on the screen is broken :D

This video accurately depicts what happened to Minecraft.

Only the world won't end.

So far the only problem I've had is some minor screen-tearing after starting Borderlands. After that, it clears up considerably. I still need to take the time to reinstall all of my games again.

Also, Dat Turkey Day. How was it for all the 'Meruhcuns here? I actually didn't eat all that much.

The new hard mode on Terraria is actually quite a bit of a challenge. It makes the old end game armor seem like copper armor.
3541

But i think the game is worth his money :rolleyes:

Was playing HL2DM. The batteries in my mouse decided it was time to hiss and bubble and leak acid. Got acid burns on my thumbs. I may need to go to the hospital.

Sounds like those laptops where the batteries explode, I'm always cautious about batteries.

Also, just got done setting up the new CS:S surf server.

I opened my mouse up this morning to see the damage. The plastic contained the spill pretty well, but the inside is corroded to all hell.

Yesterday, one of my friends surprised me by asking if I wanted a Tribes: Ascend beta key. I vaguely remember the older Tribes games but I searched up a few videos of the new Tribes. It looked fun so I downloaded the beta and installed it.

After installing the beta, I decided to try out a few rounds of TDM. It was very fast paced and the skiing feature was pretty unique while also being fun. I suck at the game right now but I hope to get better at it before it's fully released.
3533

I wish I had a Tribes: Ascend beta key.

Woah, got a 27 inch monitor (1920x1080 ofc)
This thing is fucking huge compared to my old 19" 1280x1024 tft :eek:

Also, DVI is alot better than HDMI apparently :confused:
With the HDMI cable black looked like horrible backlight bleeding :confused:

The difference was amazing when i opened my black rectangle in paint with the DVI cable plugged in :D

Oh.. My Video card crossfire setup just died for few days ago. ATI... shit quality.:mad: I want to go back to Nvidia next time.
Nvidia have more stable drivers than ATI/AMD also..
3527

Yeah, I never went to ATI. I read about some guy who bought a top tier ATI card that cost like $300 at the time, and the fan on it broke. The card itself fried.

Better not go with a GTX460 either, it tends to overheat a lot, but just not enough for your computer to shutdown (100˚C exactly).
3525

I want to get a GTX 580 soon.. Or maybe waiting for the new GTX 600 series.
So in the meantime I use an old GTS 250 :D
3524

I lost track of how many hours i've spent watching random videos on youtube :D

3514

Crazy lady living on the corner from me nearly wiped me out this morning.

I drive down the road at 5 mph...

She whips around the corner pulling 60-70-ish; JUST touching my bumper.

She flies out into this open field, just stopping before touching a guardrail on the other side.

I turned the car around and I've been laying in bed all day today.
3513

4chan was down today, WHAT A WASTE OF A DAY
3512

Indeed.
3511

I am currently setting up my main pc, cause i bought win 7 64bit ( i got win7 32bit before ) and put 2 more new 2gb Ram sticks in and got now 8gb (4x2gb).
Also as i said a few weeks ago a new Graphic card , new power supply , processor, 2x1 TB Hard Drive RAID 0...

Have to copy much stuff , and the biggest problem is , i need to download around 30 Gb .... and that with lower then 260kb/sec. Hmm takes a while :D

And that all for Battlefield 3 ... invested around 1200 € to play BF3 on Ultra Settings at high FPS and no kind of lag or something. Also i will tryout Crysis 2 and Batman AC with dx11.

Hehe, got so an good computer and decided to play Minecraft with that " High-End Graphic Block " :D. I´m still waiting until we get an MC Server :)

Everything was good until I read there, RAID 0 isn't very reliable these days. It combines both drives to make things a little faster at the cost of reliability. Now if either drive fails you lose all your data. If you made it RAID 1, you would have 1TB usable, but if either drive failed you would always be able to run off only one hard drive and still have all your data, as RAID 1 mirrors everything to both drives automatically.

> Trust your technolust
3509

Yeah, at RAID 0 i lost one day al my datas ... sometimes i need to take my mainboard outside the computer and if i link the 4 cables wrong 1 time, i´ll lose my data. But one time it recovered all datas full automaticly. Anyways RAID 0 is faster... it reads and writes faster.
RAID 1 just reads faster , cause my datas are saved on both hard drives and it can read it from both at the same time. At RAID 0 the datas are 50% there and 50% there. But if one of the hard drived break i will loose 100% , cause i cant do anything with 50% half datas.

It just a double so high chance at RAID 0 that i loose my datas. But i dont have s much worth datas an my computer... and No risk No fun :D

3507

Isn't that like the European version of SOPA or something just as stupid?

Anyways, yesterday I ordered two gas masks from Amazon. One Czech M-10 and a Finnish M61. The gas masks were quite cheap too.
3506

Yeah, it's kind of like the European version of SOPA. Only a little (very) worse.
3505

I'm fairly annoyed of all the ACTA/SOPA/PIPA bull shit.
I understand it's important and should be stopped, but it being everywhere is just driving me up the wall.

3504

Norway is not member of EU ;) Well ACTA/SOPA/PIPA is completely bullshit..

Gonna go to Triglav.
