Top 10 Most Played
My top 10 is mostly random on my new PC, since I listen to the entire playlist. Anyways: 1. Bad Religion- Superman 2. Aarni- Quinotaurus (Twelve Stars in Sight) 3. Aarni- V.I.T.R.I.O.L 4. Avantasia- Farewell 5. Bad Religion- Supersonic 6. Bad Religion- I want to Conquer the World 7. Slayer- I hate you 8. Summoning- The Mountain King's Return 9. Tigra- Sunglasses at Night 10. The 69 eyes- Wasting the dawn So yeah, dunno if its a good represention. A lot of the bad religion stuff is near the top because the songs are short.

Does your school have this?
Me too, it's called Installing Vista. Here we go with the bashing of Vista bandwagon again :roll: . Hey, it gets bashed for a reason.... I've got it on a laptop, and I literally CAN'T use the internet, it blocks everything. I've got admin status, but I can't change most of the security features. And please note that I've got the 'home' edition of Vista... god, it's like 95 but worse.... OT: I'm lucky, my school has almost nothing to stop us from playing games...of course, the only tech class is full of morons who have flunked a few times and need an easy grade....So basically, I get no tech classes until college.... -.- Thats your problem, not vistas. My roomates PC with vista on it works just fine for the internet and everything else.

How much are you worth?
... didn't see everyone get a "RL picture" either. thats not my point. My point is his idea of our 'worth' is flawed.

UFO pics (not little green men in flying saucers)
With out a doubt aliens are out there, but its very unlikely that they are visiting here.

Hellgate London
Hopefully its B2P, then F2P. Well I know, for a fact, this so far: You buy it ($50) Than there is a monthly version and an F2P version. I just don't know how much monthly costs.

the wonderful world of...anime
Well, when anime is on the line, especially one of the greatest fights in all of anime, I feel it not surprising that this would be one of my few, if not only, spaz moment :-w . Though, I've been working for the past six hours (Saturday night at a nice restaurant, BUSY AS HELL), so I'm having a kind of "energetic recoil" before I become totally drained for the night. correct me if I'm wrong but bleach replaced blood on weekdays. btw is Byakuya some big skull thing? If so its the most rediculous thing I've ever seen.

Hellgate London
It looks like a good game. Btw have they decided about how their payment method is going to be like? I never really found out what it was (cost wise) other than a free/paid version.

UFO pics (not little green men in flying saucers)
Yes you're right, I'm sure the government of Mexico totally photoshopped this into the sky while citizens have spotted it. I mean it might have been fake if like, 1 guy saw it, but civilians did see it. You don't just see imaginary UFO's fly over popular places like that. Sure, its not fake -- but it also isn't aliens.

Sure, now rogues are getting buffed. #-o .

Those are amusing though. This fails because not all of us have current jobs because of school.

Windows Vista: Home premium. Is it crap, or is it my comp?
I'd put money on psu or ram. Perhaps video, but most likely ram. Yeah I'd probably say the same. @ OP: maybe tell us what the BSOD says next time it happens.

UFO = unidentified flying object. Yes, those do exist. Is it controlled by aliens? = no I know merc already said it but since it flew over your head I'd try and post again.

Halo Discussion thread
Why? I'm tired of you people coming in and saying "Thats dumb, thats stupid, it sucks" without backing up reasons. You live in Canada right? You just failed an English class question because you can't back up your answer Why would it be dumb? Because one would have a fully customizable player? Because only carrying 6 plasimids at a time would make it so a person has to chose a unique strategy? It would be an excellent idea, but would take some re thinking for some things. I'm not really sure bioshock was meant for multiplayer. I mean, in theory its cool. I just don't think it'd work out as well as one would think. You mean how there are programs on a PC that allow you to record games, which have been around for years? As far as 'improving' FPS's there is little you can do to the general idea of what they are. Bioshock did mix it up very well, but games like that are a rare find. Halo, to me, is just another FPS. The reason why I keep trying to fight against it is, well, look at reviews for it! So many game websites had it stuck in there head months before the game came out what they would review it, and likewise many halo fanboys already had it through there head that it was the best game ever made -- with out even trying it! So yeah I guess I just never got sucked into this giant whirlpool of halo fanboism like everyone else did. I mean, I gave #1 and #2 equal opportunities but all I saw was just an average game that really couldn't keep my attention. Anyways I know that really changing the scope of FPS's is difficult, near impossible. However I do want devs to try and aim for that -- not just create another washed out FPS. Bioshock showed us that FPS's aren't done changing yet and can really hold great, captivating story lines. It also shows us that while the same point and shoot mechanic holds true that we can mix it up. Likewise games such as half life 2 just showed us how we can use physics today to create an even more engrossing product. Its no doubt that before half life 2 physics were fairly dull. Its gravity gun and just general physics puzzles really raised the bar for first person shooters, I mean, how many FPS's do you see these days that don't try and throw in some interesting physics into the equation? So I'm probably just rambling on now -- oh well.

What's your allignment?
I would probably say neutral-good personally. I think that laws have their place but it really depends on the circumstance. Most importantly I just don't want to see those close to me hurt. Realisticly I'm somewhere in between neutral-neutral and neutral-good.

It sounds like a hardware issue, not a vista issue.

Halo Discussion thread
I hate to turn this into a Halo defense thread, but whatever. 5-6 enemies, as opposed to the 1 that you get in call of duty. Jumping, grenades and such are basics of fps's. There are plenty of other things in halo worth mentioning that add to the running and gunning part. If they can headshot you while turning around, but you can't kill them even with the element of surprise, whose fault is that? But really, halo is an unreal-style boomfest. You die a lot more in the average halo match than lets say, a call of duty match. I don't get why some people say there's too much health/shield in halo and others say there's too little. Opinions i guess. And as for Gears...It's really good of course, but it's got very little on Halo, to be honest. I mean, don't even get me started about "online experience" and "underlying plot". And really, who wants to play in the tiny 4-man teams anyway? You might as well stick with battlefield 42 or something. And the first person to say "gears is more innovative/revolutionary than halo" will promptly receive a wedgie. :evil: The reason why GoW is better than halo isn't the multiplayer, but because of the single player. Its one of the first to really embrace the duck and cover style and it really brings a great intense single player campaign. What some people need to know is that halo is just another FPS. It isn't revolutionary, it isn't the best game ever, it isn't the best game of the year. Sadly the xbox really lacks good FPS multiplayer titles and halo fills that gap. Hopefully TF2 coming to the 360 will be a start of it getting some better titles. At any rate the amount of fanbois the game has is extreme, which after all these years I still really can not figure out. One of the things the game has going for it is a large community -- most people on xbox live just bother playing halo and even if they try and get into other FPS's they usually will go back to halo, just for the reason that it has so many more people online to play matches with.

How much are you worth?
This is a pretty stupid topic. I'm not making any money right now but I still have plenty of money that I saved up before college. Thread fails.

Peer Pressure?
If he keeps threatening you than I would try and talk to someone about it. Not about the drugs really but just about the fact that he's threatening you, and these days you really have to take it seriously.

Looking for some tutorials on C++
First of all I've searched and haven't really found anything that I wanted. I found one good site that had some basic stuff or Open GL stuff but what I'm looking for is different. The basic idea is I have the source SDK kit, and I am interested in possibly trying to work on modding in it a bit, even if its just something small. I know that it uses C++ (I believe) as a programing language for certain things and I was curious if anyone knows some tutorials or guides for stuff like that. As far as my experience goes I took a year of C++ in high school, so I know the general stuff such as outputs/inputs/if statements, stuff like that. Hopefully you guys have an idea of what I'm talking about. Thanks, and sorry if someones posted tutorials like this before -- search is pretty funky sometimes. :)

the wonderful world of...anime
what's wrong with bleach? I tried watching it before, it was painful. I just can't get past the art style, and the stuff they go up against seems so silly. Anyways my roomate downloaded most of the blood+ episodes, so I have a bunch on my PC today. I know I said it picked up before but after EP26 is really picks up.

Lockdown!

Nadrils signiture Gallery [Featuring OVERLORD new!]
Thanks. I asked misterxman a couple of days ago and he said the same thing. :) Also I'm kind of iffy too on the new sig, IDK about it. Maybe you could try to set up an own website where you sell them, I really think you have a chance at selling some. About the StreetFighter sig: -The border is something new, 3 different thicknesses. I like that, but I dont see why you added the blue part. It sort of ruins the feel of the dark and agressive fighter. -Background, excellent. I cant stop looking at it, lots of detail. -Colors are good, maybe the yellow is a bit too saturated like happy123 said. Thats it, keep it up. :thumbup: Thanks :) Don't know how that blue got there actually, didn't even see it haha. And I do think its a bit too saturated, was tough finding a good spot.

~!~ Gold_Tiger10's Gallery! ~!~
Not bad at all. My only complaint is they all seem a bit too the same, maybe experiment a bit. :) GJ though.

Planning my new rig...
The AMD dual cores aren't near as powerful though. (I know you're just pointing out it is a dual core, just adding in here). Go with Joe's suggestions, that'd be a beast of a rig.
