Building a PC
According to Newegg, you'd need 735 watts with your current build plus 2x460s. Getting one should still prove to be a worthwhile upgrade though.

A Time for Glory Planning Thread
Troop upkeep will be a factor, as keeping troops in the trenches and ready for battle requires supplies. There will be initial training/building costs, but no deployment costs per battle. As for Nations, Brazil is on the Allied side of the war. New Iberia (Spain), China and Japan are the only major independents. I haven't got the whole map/back story ready, so other minor independents will be playable. For balancing reasons, India will be a satellite of Britain.

Image error
When I try to post this image (http://img208.imageshack.us/i/atfgbasemapxboxhueg.png), I get an error that reads "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this board.". PNGs have always worked before, any ideas what is wrong?

Base map. After I get the countries on I'll do some province balancing. Map is xbox hueg, but I have no way to resize it without artifacting.

No interest in A Time For Glory? I can start it sooner if you want, I just thought xmas break would be a good time for everyone

I has a hardrive
^ It would make a decent backup drive for important files though.

A Time for Glory Planning Thread
Just letting you guys know that I still plan to run this, starting on Tuesday night. @Archi, do you still have the map you used for defense provinces way back in Hegemony 1?

Nothing beats a good AK with a nice bayonet though.

Don't worry, just make sure the computer is unplugged, and that you ground yourself by touching the case. You are probably 1000x more likely to hurt yourself by cutting your hand on the case than you are to fry yourself.

Building a PC
Looks nice. Although if you want to play Black ops, you may want to look at a 460 1gb. This one is only $30 more, and will make a considerable difference. Plus in a year you can pick up another on clearance and SLI them. Two 460s easily beat a 480 in most games. Also, if you receive a monitor with a stuck pixel or dead pixel, it isn't considered a defect and you will either have to pay to RMA it or live with it. EDIT - Just noticed the 600w PSU, two cards may be pushing it. It's still a great upgrade though

Get Victoria 1, its literally $2 on Amazon. Or Victoria 2 if your computer can handle it.

What is your favorite Internet browser?
Firefox, it comes down to the adblocker. I also like my theme (Gradiant iCool) and the added stability when running flash over chrome.

Im buying a new PC
Glad you found something good. By any chance, do you have a link to the model you bought?

Need a new PC, couple ideas.
If you're using vegas, you may want something with a real graphics card. Unfortunately you can't find good prebuilts under $800 with a dedicated card. If you want to try to DIY, I can put a build together for you.

Victoria 2 $32.99 EU III $5.00 UK EU III - 6 pounds Victoria 2 - 15 pounds There is a demo for Victoria 2 if you want to try it first, not sure about EU though. You can also get the original games like EU I/II, Victoria and HOI I/II for like $2 plus shipping.

Favourite thread of 2010?
The kookaburra thread, and the sinkhole thread in where someone calculated how many fat kookaburras could fit in it. http://forum.tip.it/topic/241086-hegemony-v2-begins-page-302/ The hegemony, in it's 702 pages of glory, not including the 50 or so we lost during the rollback.

US Senator reaming gov't for 7 hours
What the dems don't realize is that while this isn't the best deal, its a hell of a lot better than what they're going to get in January. But you have to give the man prop.

Your Experiences
I may have had a streak of bad luck. The first one had a Red pixel in the middle, and the second one had a black one on the edge, which I almost missed. Better not to risk a $20 RMA shipping charge and buy from a store IMO.

Laptop help (hard drive related)
Try system restore to the earliest point. While this usually does nothing, something recently installed might be causing this.

Eu3 is fun, but I find it's incredibly boring for the first 50 - 100 years. I just find that if you aren't at war, there aren't many other things to do.

Everybody should buy Victoria 2. It is the best strategy game out there, and would appeal to most members of this forum. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_II Ignore the criticisms, they all sum up to "This game is too hard for kids who like to pWn N00bz in COD"

Your Experiences
You'd think they would. It's one of the most annoying things ever. I went through two monitors before I found one that was good. Luckily I tested the first one before the 14 day return limit was up.
