I have a hard time writing in pirate... LOL About that Vbox talk, how can win7 not be a choice? Wrong version perhaps? My version of Vbox can even run Windows 8 as shown in the picture below (even if it's developper preview, which I should replace by consumer preview). I even run it in 64bit without issues, so I don't know what's wrong in your case. [hide][/hide]

Bought ME3 today, I'll see how much fun I'll get out of it. I've seen a few people have fun with the Kinect so I now also have a kinect, but I don't know if it really makes this game better. Kinect was for other games that seemed fun, but apparently it can be used in this game.

If you play TDM or groundwar you're bound to get campers, but I mostly play Demolition now since most people tend to go towards the bombs, so there's very few campers most of the time. I feel you on the last stand issue though, it should be just completely out of the game.

People who have no idea what the hell they're talking about. Would be fun to have a "+1" button.

Why didn't you get VirtualBox? It's opensource, so it doesn't cost anything and works a hell of a lot better than Microsoft Virtual PC (the one included with Xp Mode which is included in Windows 7). Also it would seem that this processor does support virtualization, so you might need to activate it in the BIOS of your host computer in order to be able to use a 64bit OS in the virtual machine.

Actually it is possible to get around them, I find riot shielders pretty easy to kill, just don't aim while you go around and try a little bit of hipfire and aim as soon as you see parts of him.

Looks like I'm going to have to put a little bit of money on my car. Sometimes I only have half of the power steering and the belt is making a lot of noise when I turn. I guess it's just the belt though so it shouldn't be too expensive.

2 GB RAM and 150 GB HDD are very low. I don't even know if there would still be laptops with such low specs for sale when it comes to RAM and HDD. Anyway, Minimum 4GB RAM is the norm these days.

I was on fire tonight! I died with only 1 kill left for my first moab ever... I rush too much for a moab normally, so getting so close to the moab while rushing was BOSS. I also generally did high k/d games tonight.

When mouse either double clicks or doesn't click at all. I guess I can't expect more than that from a $20 mouse, after 1.5 years of usage, everything has to wear out eventually.

Well I'm still the type of person that will report people doing stuff like that. They ruin the game for everyone. I don't care about prestige lobbies, since it doesn't affect anyone except themselves, but people [bleep]ing with other people's connection deserve to be banned from xbox live. I don't think I'm overreacting.

Host booting? How does that work (unless it's illegal/against the rules to tell)? It is illegal. They sniff the IP of the host (or everyone's ip if they are the host) and then attack their connection with a dos/ddos attack. Both of them are illegal.

Well, had a bad time tonight. After having been invited by a friend to a party and playing with them, had a small fight with my friend's friend, and he decided to "hostboot" me. Good thing that I have a fiber internet connection and he was only able to ddos me for 10 seconds at a time, but he wouldn't stop doing it. I have changed my IP, filed a complaint agains't him on xbox live, as well as giving him a bad review, and also contacted Xbox Live support with my Internet browser to make sure he would get consequences. I also contacted my ISP, and am wondering if I should really go through sending an email to my ISP to get his IP traced and either he gets a letter from his ISP or the police shows up at his door since ddos is highly illegal here. Guess I might give him a chance, just once, but this kind of kid just annoys the hell out of me.

Just got back from the clubs.... Even if I think the music is crap and stuff, still an opportunity to get girls, but no luck tonight...

Just got ME2 so that I could go through it before getting ME3. ME3 sounds awesome even if the ending is apparently not good. I don't know why I didn't play the first ME until last week, but that game was pretty awesome, even if it was a storyline that has been used in so many games and movies before. That's one trend I see, they just switch the setting and the characters, but it's still the same basic story. Let's see if the ME2 and ME3 stories still follow the same basic story.

Can't wait until I see that story in the morning, might be interesting, death scare and you posted here.

Are you still liking that laptop (It was the ASUS one, right)? I'm contemplating getting either the latest revision of it, a Sager or building a HTPC for the flatscreen I'm getting. I'm not liking it as much as I used to. Had to RMA it once, they fixed the problem but they dropped the laptop (corner of the screen opens). When I added the SSD I found out that one of the SATA plugs might be defective, meaning I should probably send it for another RMA, but am not going to. While looking on the internet, I found out that a lot of the Asus G53 laptops have issues. This includes the fact that 3 out of the 4 Asus ROG laptops we have at college (2 G53 and 2 G73 laptops) had issues, mostly BSODs, so I guess I'm lucky on that side. One of them changed the wireless card in order to stop having the blue screens. Which is why I suggest against going for an Asus Republic of Gamers laptops. Regular Asus laptops are still top of the line, and top quality. I don't know why the lack of quality and all the design/manufacture issues are only on the Republic of Gamers laptops. So far I found that regular laptops and motherboards are untouched by the issues, only the republic of gamers laptops are hit by these issues.

The only thing that would be useful now for me is the steam thing. I have already done most of what's in this guide, even without following a guide :P.

I already know I'm not buying the dlc, especially since only 2 maps seem to be good out of all that dlc package.

Looks like you're going for quite the expensive computer. Looks like you're going to have fun with it. I received a bit of money myself from the taxes, but it's pretty much all going towards my credit cards lol. Finally going to have my laptop paid off (Also added an SSD to the laptop last week, the crucial M4 128GB). I want to build another desktop so bad. Will probably be building another computer as soon as I have a job, after college.

The placement of the drivers shouldn't change anything. Inconsistant startup issues are pretty hard to diagnose, but there is a reason it's doing it. When you took your computer apart, did you have some sort of protection (Antistatic wristband, etc)? Are you sure everything is seated properly as well?

Are you sure everything is plugged in?

Actually it's not making me any money, but saving me money, and a lot of it. Even the economy of gas this car gives me saves me money, I spent around $60 on gas in feb, which I found pretty impressive, but then again I didn't use the car a lot in feb. There's a difference. Still, such low amounts in repairs might go up in the near future, seeing as the clutch is starting to slip (has been for a good while, but it doesn't seem to be getting worse), the current set of brakes were already on the car when I bought it, probably going to need replacement soon seeing as I've done around 70 000 Km on them, I just have to see if they pass the inspection in august, and I'm starting to hear a leak somewhere on the exhaust pipe, which has already been patched multiple times, as well as loose pieces in the muffler. Even with that, this car was an extremely good buy. Getting a new car will be my priority though when I get out of college and find another job.

I think these cares are quite ugly, honestly. As for my own car, I love it, it might have been in the familly for 11 years but it still looks pretty awesome for it's age. 3 years since I bought it from my parents and I put an average of $100/year in repairs. Also passed the 300 000 Km mark last week. [hide] A couple of weeks ago we had a snowstorm that dropped 45cm of snow, it had already started melting before the following picture lol. [/hide]
