quick ipod question
not that i know of. Yes you can. Hyphy Awesome :D. I've been looking for something like this for a bit now (that didn't only do a few songs or something stupid like that) so I'm glad to have found one now. Been meaning to get some of the older songs on my iPod that didn't make it over to my new PC onto it.

Dungeon Runners
I've heard of it, but it didn't peak my interest enough to really actually try it out. However it might be a bit of fun for those looking for a free MMORPG to pass the time with.

what game should i get for my 360?
My suggestions: The Orange box Mass Effect Assassains Creed Bioshock COD 4 skate It's a lot of fun TBH Oblivion (ect.) I'd probably recommend orange box first if you don't have it for the PC, it has plenty to keep you busy for a while.

TimeSplitters 4!
This series is still going on? I enjoyed the first one that came out for the cube (second in the series IIRC) but after thatI didn't pay as much attention to them.

Do you get inspired by music?
I'm the same way to be honest. It's mostly the mood the music puts me in that inspires me, not necisarily what it is actually about. Once I think what I want to do sometimes I'll just keep the same song on repeat for the durration of the piece, so I don't lose that train of thought.

Neo World, Terragen [WALLPAPER] 1680x1050!
It's kind of difficult without showing you, but I'll try and explain. Pretty much you create your landscape by working on each of the 'main' pieces of one. There is a terrain -- a hight map field that represents the... terrain. There is also the surface map, which is the texture that you can edit. You can edit the atmosphere (Where the sun is placed, other various values) and you can edit the actual angle you're looking at your world. All of this together just works together. It's 3D modeling, but it's different than most 3D modeling programs.

~ The world of programming. ~
If you could find a reason to program with it in the first place =) For cool points. :thumbsup: Ok.. so I wouldn't be that cool. I wonder though, if I just made a filter pile in photoshop and passed it through that program -- maybe I'd come up with the next doom or something. :D

What factors determine the speed of one's computer?
Via chipset with 128kb cache and 1.5GHZ? I think p3 would outperform that, plus via chipsets aren't good. You think so? I didn't really look into the details of the chipset, but from what I've read its performed fairly decent. However it may just be better to spring a few hundred more and get a better machine.

What factors determine the speed of one's computer?
Not much. To be blunt, the machine is simply old and out dated. To upgrade the machine would mean to upgrade (virtually) everything to where it is just easier to get a new machine.

Should I still get Halo 3 for Chistmas?
No :P . There are better FPS's to spend your time playing online than halo 3.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Just finished thanksgiving dinner, mmm. Was kind of different, we cooked out steaks instead of turkey (I don't really like turkey) so it was really good. Steak, sweet dressing, rolls and some pumpkin pie for later. :thumbsup:

~ The world of programming. ~
Hah that's so strange. Really cool though -- I could only imagine the difficulties of programming with it.

What factors determine the speed of one's computer?
To your last question: Just make sure you keep windows and your anti virus updated, and don't go to dodgy links. About a new machine: You don't really need much. In fact, I would strongly recommend this computer. Its $298, and comes with windows vista (not a monitor though). However it has everything you will need for general web browsing and such, including a gig of memory. About computer stats and what they effect: I notice no one has really explained yet what the various parts of a PC effect speed wise so I thought I'd help. RAM: This, simply put, allows you to run more programs without lag. Every time you open a program (a browser window, a game, whatever) it takes up a certain amount of RAM for its processes. RAM is temporary memory for your programs where they can quickly store and compute whatever equasions or problems they need to do. A gig of it is fine for most standard machines, while 2 gig's is a minimum for playing new, up to date games. It's pretty cheap (especially this black friday, you can get a gig of ram easy for $15). Processor: Your CPU speed. This is just the speed at which various calculations and processes can cary out. The speed of it doesn't mater as much these days as other values do, however for general web browsing and such it's not a very large importance. You'll really only notice it in full screen games (not java games like runescape) and in other applications. Video card: This only really effects games, for general web browsing it isn't a concern. Hard Drive: the only thing, speed wise, this will effect is how long it takes for you to load something up. The higher RPM -- the faster (generally) an aplication will load from the hard drive. Sound card: Aside from taking a bit of stress off the CPU for running the sound, and simply making everything sound better ... an on-board sound card is just fine. That should be about all that will and can effect your computers performance.

Vash - Smudge + Wave signature
Not a fan. All the smudging makes it look a lot like a filter pile, and the colors are too saturated.

EVE-online
No it's worse than rs lol, I've been there, done it, seen it, EVE is worse than WoW for addiction IMO. I doubt that. Since you gain levels while doing nothing there really isn't that incenitive to play a lot. Likewise if you have a decent ORG you'll pretty much just be handed your ships so money isn't a large issue either.

Do you get inspired by music?
Yeah I do. Usually it has nothing at all to do with the song I was listening to, but whatever.

I'm at my grandparents house for thanksgiving since my parents are so far away from my college campus. :P

EVE-online
When I'm playing a game I want to play the game, not read a book. Also I had afterburners and all that good stuff.

The official World of Warcraft thread.
World of Warcraft PTR Patch 2.3.2 The latest test realm patch notes can always be found at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnot ... notes.html The latest patch notes can always be found at http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/patchnotes/ General /timetest is a command that can be run to provide information on game performance. /timetest 0 turns the command off. When the command is issued, the next time a player uses a flight master to travel, certain statistics will be measured and displayed at the end of that flight. All weather effects and spawns are shutdown during the test. Quest givers with blue question marks no longer show up on the minimap. NPC's who you have completed a quest for will display a question mark on mouseover rather than an exclamation point. The bank controls for the guildmaster level of a guild is now grayed out. A guildmaster always has full access to a guild bank and this cannot be changed. A "Withdraw-Repair Only" button has been added to the guild bank controls. If this is set for a guild rank, then that rank cannot actually withdraw funds from the guild bank, but they can still use that daily amount of money for repairs. You will now automatically stand up when attacked, even if the attack doesn̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t land. Hunters Arcane Shot: Ranks 1-5 will once again deal bonus damage based on attack power. Aspect of the Viper effect increased. Freezing Trap is no longer limited to one target at a time. Pet leveling speed has been increased. Mages Cold Snap (Frost) cooldown reduced. It is now in the Ice Block position in the talent tree. This ability will no longer reset the cooldown on Fire Ward. Conjure Mana Gem (Rank 6 - Emerald) now restores 1800 to 3000 mana and has three charges. Ice Block (Frost) is now available on the trainer to all mages at level 30. Icy Veins (NEW Frost Talent) decreases casting time of all spells by 20% and increases the chance your chilling effects will freeze the target by 25%. Lasts 20 sec. 3 min cooldown. It is now in the Cold Snap position in the talent tree. Paladins Crusader Strike (Retribution) now causes 110% of weapon damage and no longer gains any bonus from spell damage. Righteous Fury: This spell will no longer cost twice the listed mana to cast. Sanctified Judgements (Retribution) now returns 80% of the Seal's mana cost, increased from 50%. Rogues Cheat Death: When multiple attacks land simultaenously, all those resolved after the attack which triggered Cheat Death will now have their damage reduced by 90% as intended. However, the combat log will still report them doing full damage. Hemorrhage: Rank 4 of this ability no longer has its charges consumed by non-physical attacks and spells. Shaman Earth Shield (Restoration) mana cost reduced. Lightning Shield mana cost reduced. Water Shield now restores mana periodically regardless of how many charges remain. Duration increased to 10 minutes. Warlock The health cost taken from the Warlock after using Health Funnel will now remain consistent between uses. Warrior Defiance (Protection) weapon expertise will now work in all stances. This was a bug that has been fixed. Warriors no longer lose rage when using a macro to enter a stance they̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢re already in. Professions Cooking Goldthorn Tea was erroneously unlearned by most players who had learned the recipe. The recipe has been re-enabled and can be learned again from Henry Stern in Razorfen Downs at no cost. Enchanting: Enchant Shield - Resilience now requires a Runed Fel Iron Rod instead of a Runed Adamantite Rod. Leatherworking: Increased the range of leatherworking drums to 40 yards. Drums of Panic remains unchanged at 8 yards. Items Amani Charm of the Witch Doctor: Tooltip typo corrected. Hearthstone: The cast time on this item is no longer affected by spell haste. Icy Chill Enchant: The triggered effect from this enchantment will now cause a melee slow and movement snare as intended. Idol of the Unseen Moon: This item now has a 30 second cooldown on being triggered. Idol of Terror: The triggered agility buff from this item no longer overwrites other agility buffs. The Netherscale Ammo Pouch is no longer a Unique item. The Knothide Quiver is no longer unique. Dungeons and Raids Heroic Coilfang Resevoir- Steamvaults Mekgineer Steamrigger's Main Chambers Access Panel is no longer interactable until Mekgineer Steamrigger has been killed. Tempest Keep- The Eye The number of Blood Elves guarding Prince Kael'Thas' room has been reduced. Zul'Aman The Amani'shi Warrior's Charge ability now has a minimum range. The melee haste provided by Halazzi's Frenzy has been reduced to 100%. Dragonhawks in Zul'Aman can now be skinned. This doesn't include dragonhawks that do not have loot. Quests Blade's Edge Mountains: Players accepting the bombing run quests in Blade's Edge Plateaus will no longer cause other players in the region to stand up. User Interface There is now an option to turn off the screen edge damage flash when you have a fullscreen UI up. You can sell stacks by dropping them on the merchant window again. Ready check (/readycheck) will now display a visual display of each party/raid member's status next to their name. This will display in the Party UI, the Raid UI and the Raid pullout UI. A player will get a check mark if they are ready, a question mark if they have not replied and a red X if they are not ready or are afk. You can now see raid members on the minimap as dark blue dots in addition to party members which still display as light blue dots. You can now shift click names while the petition window is open to paste them into the petition. Fixed various problems with /castsequence getting stuck. /cast will toggle spells again unless the name is prefixed with an exclamation mark, e.g. /castsequence Steady Shot, !Auto Shot Bug Fixes Fixed ̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅSpell/Ability is not ready yet̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

EVE-online
I should add that really it was the combat and the slow paced nature of the game that turned me off. I loved the sound of hardcore PvP and how the economy worked, but my god everything was just so... slow. It took a long time to get to places, it took a long time to loot (I hated having to take a good minute or two slowly inching my way forward to the loot container said pirate left behind).... it just got boring. Still I would recommend it to anyone willing to give it a shot, it's a good game - just not for everyone.

Listen to the song I made!
Problem is that was a joke band. I don't think this one is a joke. :wall:

Metalocalypse discussion thread (I'm ROXO the clooownnnn...)
I love this show. :P I know they canceled a lot of the new EPs but at least they are playing old ones on the weekdays now, allows me to get caught up. (I started near the end of the first season). Don't know why the moved it for the "Tim and Eric Awesome show Great job" though... that show is odd... ..Even for [AS]

Halo - Smudge
Too meh for me. The black 'dust' (or whatever you want to call it) is pretty random and poorly placed, and there just isn't anything I really like about this sig.

GF, RuneScape! Wut! A new Duel Arena! (Beware of the f-word)
Whats funny about this? Ok, scratch that, I don't even understand a damn thing that is going on in it -- other than the fact that Jagex won a duel.... against... runescape?

What factors determine the speed of one's computer?
^ While I'd generally agree that trying to get his PC to work would be a good idea, thing is if it is a Pentium III than it may be time to upgrade. @ OP: what do you plan on doing with the machine? Chances are if it isn't much you can pickup a pretty decent machine (far better than yours) for quite cheap.
