Pokemon Thread
Reminds me of a Gamestop tourney I went to. Most of the competitors were total douchebags, nearly all of them used ubers, and yet my team wiped the floor with them. They thought I was hacking because my Garchomp has 397 attack and 301 speed(boosted to 452 with choice scarf) and I swept most of their teams with it... except the few that knew about EV's and stuff like that. I swapped out my 'Chomp off the team and swapped in Lucario, and did a REALLY long chain of baton passes, to where Lucario would horribly destroy them.

Microphone for Ventrilo
You'll need to get a USB mic or something, otherwise you wont be able to talk. They're pretty cheap, got mine for $15.

I have a few questions regarding a PSU...
I am getting a GeForce 9600GT, and I have a question on whether my power supply unit is strong enough to run it(It says 400W on it). If it's not strong enough, i'll need some help with picking a decent unit that my comp can use. Thanks for any help.

What is the first thing you did as a legal adult?
I'd drink, but I can't because screwed up America says you have to be 21. Really, at 18, you are legally old enough to download porn, fight and die for your country, and be in the lottery, amongst other things, yet you aren't old enough to drink beer. Nice going America, enjoy your [developmentally delayed]ed drinking laws. If they lowered the drinking age to say, 19, it wouldn't be so bad. I'll probably just chill on my 18th birthday, go to a stripclub, and maybe drink a little, in the confort of my own home, where cops wont find me.

Offical Age of Conan thread
Mine will probably be Ulitarius or Lynchal if it's available. I also have a code for an item called the "Totem of the Origins" which lets you teleport back to your hometown once every 24 hours. Not sure which name is more awesome though. If in the event I don't get the game, i'll probably give one of you the code.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
I dont have problems beating those who use autofire controllers, its just they were autofiring across PIPELINE, and somehow hitting with a deagle. The gun animations weren't keeping up either.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
^ Gold LMG unlocked. LMG's are fail, therefore you are instafail. Nah, not really. It's a gun just like all the others, so i dont instafail, nubbins. Me, Biggy, and his friend were doing some TT, when we come across this one team, and two of them had autofire controllers. They were firing the deagle, G3, and M21 faster than the SAW with doubletap. The G3 was firing faster than the storyline G3 ffs.

THE CAKE IS A LIE! Couldn't resist, but since my dad is over in Iraq, i'll probably send him some snacks and stuff.

My uncle is at a life threating situation
I can understand you want sympathy, but an online forum isn't necessarily the place. I wish your grandfather luck nevertheless.

elder scrolls IV : OBLIVION
I'm trying to get started in OOO, and I need some help :S Class suggestions for something like a Ninja who uses blades and bows, and I hate the security requirements for chests?

Don't go too far in unless you did the Thieves' Guild quest associated with the Temple, otherwise a bug will occur.

My new laptop
That does sound annoying though. However, you can use any USB mouses so it doesn't matter. I'd think that they would, consider they are a. overpaying on hardware and b. paying for something they can't upgrade. Not really, even though apple would like you to think that. A lot of graphic editing that directly relates to fields like game design are done on PC's (obviously) and at least in the company I work in (doing web design) we use PC's as well. That being said there is nothing a mac can do for the graphic design industry that a windows based PC can't do. I'd go as far to say "linux" as well, although I believe it is limited for photoshop. So what, you'd want them to just bog down an OS with more features? Lepord wasn't that different than OS X, and had some nasty bugs as well. In reality it really was just a graphical upgrade with a few features. FYI apple is working on a new OS as well, from what I understand. I doubt it'll be much different. Actually I believe it was a printing company that had the first PC, but I can't for the life of me remember which. Also DOS is very much an OS, just not with a GUI. Subjective. I know a lot who use Sony vegas pro or Adobe after effects. Sorry, I really don't want to get involved in this MAC VS WINDOWZ [cabbage] but some of this was just nonsense. Either way get a mac if you wish, but just remember that it is limited to what you can upgrade. As far as Macbooks go they honestly aren't bad (maybe a bit expensive, I dunno) but thats just because you aren't upgrading a laptop anyways. And it is true (from what I've heard at least) that mac's user base is growing, but its not like its any sort of threat. Most just want the computability with windows and Direct X. Yeah, they are pretty nice. So expensive though, I think it'd cost like $3,000-$4,000 to mimic my $1,000 PC. (which most parts save for the video card were bought a year ago, so its closer to $800 today. This is including OS though, without its like $700). Hell, I don't even think a laptop can go up against a 2.7ghz dual core, 9600GT and 3Gb of ram. 8-) It'd kick the crap out of my 2.4ghz dual core, 8500GT and 2Gb of ram. I'm still waiting on that damn paycheck. My mom has to complete some contract today though, and I get paid $10/hr and none of it is taxed either. I only have $120 anyways, so I'm waiting on that check so I can get a 9600GT.

How did you meet them?
MPM is getting married! Wow! =D> Game over man, game over! JK, congrats. Anyways, I met mine at some sweet 16 birthday party. About 6 hours and a few games of spin-the-bottle later...

Finally some punishment :o
If you two are still arguing, take it to PM. Also, there's no need for everyone to be making half-assed assumptions with no proof. Last I checked, the suicide bombers are acting on their faith and religion most of the time. Those bombers are all extremists anyways.

Grand Theft Auto IV Thread!
Doesn't work so nicely for me when I jump out of a choppa. I always get killed by the choppah blades.

My PC is dying
Well, if I want to get a cooler fan or something for my desktop(there's an intel fan, but I'm afraid the fan isn't strong enough), could someone suggest a cheap fan to use that'll cool the graphics card in particular? My Core readings in Speedfan is at ~80C and I haven't had any problems, except when stuff turned white in HL2.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Now would be a good time to say this: "Arguing over the internet is like participating in the Special Olympics, even if you win, you're still [developmentally delayed]ed."

My PC is dying
Not sure what to tell you. If I were you, a can of compressed air inside and around the graphics card and everything else should do the trick. See if that fixes your problem.
