Need help with computer temperatures...
I noticed that my comp might be running just a bit too hot. I ran my computer, then I got these readings off of Speedfan after letting my comp idle for about 5 minutes: I'm concerned that the card might be running a bit too hot. Generally, every other part doesn't exceed 45C. Suggestions for cooling the computer and graphics card? EDIT:A few minutes later, the card is running and capped at 60C, and the HD and CPU cores are almost breaking 45C IDLE.

Which graphics card should I get?
Generally, in terms of your power supply, I bought a Rosewill 600W PSU, and it has served me well. It's great for a $65 unit(after $15 savings). I got it from Newegg. Not to mention it glows blue.

You can I think. The GotY edition has a second disk with the expansions on it.

Music genres you Can't stand?[flame war=ban]
Generally, I can't stand rap, except for Eminem, but that's only because his lyrics have meaning, whereas every other rapper has some annoying beats in the back and all they say is "YUUUUUUUUUU!!!" That's the only genre I can't stand.

Tip.It Pokémon tournament 1 - Brackets Posted!
I have had one exception though, when I got Encore'd with my Garchomp using Swords Dance. Chompah pretty much 1HKO'ed a wobbuffet. He had a base Attack of 397, those Swords Dances just made him a killing machine.

"A gaming computer"
I'll make a few notes: -I don't see many, if any games using quad-core processors, so you might want to go with a duo-core processor. -As for the case, the bigger the better. For example, I installed an Nvidia Geforce 9600 in my comp, and I learned that lesson after realising I almost didn't have enough space horizontally to install the card. -Definitely get a good cooling fan. Good one's are about $20, but will work wonders with your system temperatures.

Tip.It Pokémon tournament 1 - Brackets Posted!
He's far from useless. He has two moves that let him counter any offensive move, he can lock a pokemon in battle, he has a nice bit of HP, and he can easily take down a pokemon or two. Also to note is his Encore move, so unless a pokemon can knock off 400+ hp in one turn, they are basically screwed.

Your wacky Family!
I'm not going to start making a list, my whole family is messed up beyond recognition. My mom's side of the family is crooked, two uncles are in jail for murder, one cousin is pregnant, a few more are in jail, and there aren't but maybe one or two who actually have sense, and are in college/have a job. My dad's side generally isn't all that bad. My mom isn't mean, but my dad... there's days I wish he would just... disappear. I'm probably one of the few that still has any sense.

Obesity and Airlines
I say that they need to be charged unless, as IGoddessI said, they provide some medical certificate or something. Other than that, you should know to exercise and watch what you eat. I don't think it's that hard to cut a soda out of your diet, or maybe just doing a quick jog every now and then, it's better than what you fat people do anyway. Then comes my other concern: Takeoff/landing. On smaller airliner jets, if all that weight is on one side, the plane could tilt, clip the wing, or even wreck the plane while taking off. If landing, then the same problem might occur.

Know any artists that other people should know?
I really don't know much rising artists, but some kids these days need to stop listening to stuff such as Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, or that messed up load called Jonas... I will never forgive myself for uttering those names. Most people should learn about bands such as Dream Theater, Therion, (at least)Nightwish, and a few other bands out there. Kids these days need a bit of taste with their music. For example, my brother spits at any of those bands I mentioned, not including the first three. But he's always hyper, and weird about everything. And a little joke I made involving some thread about GTA IV on some other forum. "Yea, we should totally make a Dream Theater band, the only problem being that beatings would take thirty minutes, and each of us would take turns on extended beating solos."

Work secrets
Where I work, just for kicks(auto mechanic), I sometimes decide to toy around with the cars I get, i.e. hiding in the car for a few minutes, and if I don't like you, small dent in the side of the vehicle.

Blizzrds WWI announcment, what is it? DIABLO 3 ANNOUNCED!
That seems so odd to picture "OMG diablo 3 with demons and zombie walls om nom nom nom nom *[bleep] [bleep] [bleep]*" Let's just say that I'll probably not surface from my room for the first few days the game is out. @Jaziek, yeah, I hope they continue the tradition of not charging for Bnet.

Blizzrds WWI announcment, what is it? DIABLO 3 ANNOUNCED!
Hell yeah, I'm definitely getting this when it comes out, and there goes my freedom... again. Not to mention some epic battles in the gameplay vid. Only time will tell if the video and game lives up to the hype. I hope they hold the same tradition with the other games and not charge for online play.

What is your ideal life?
All I'd need is a small place to live, a computer, the interwebs, a place nearby with food, and then i'd be set for life. Not much work needed.

Hate to break it to you but angry german kid is fake. How do you know? Actually, it's acted out, it's for publicity I think.

How was everyone's prom?
Aint had mine yet, but I'll tell the DJ to go ahead and rickroll the entire senior class. And at the guy who said something about doing the dirty: Just do it in the car somewhere dark afterward, no one will see you.

What are your talents?
I can generally outwit most, since I've taken behavioral psychology, I know how most would react and assume, which allows me to respond to them in a way they cannot argue against. I can also put my legs behind my head and cartwheel around in that position.

Blizzrds WWI announcment, what is it? DIABLO 3 ANNOUNCED!
I seriously am hoping it's Diablo III. The only thing concerning me is that it wont have the feel of the original two, because most of the original developers left.

Real life pictures - 3
I think it'll be all good if one says that one is hot, and everyone silently agrees. More pics would be nice, I have one, but I don't have the camera atm.
