I do best with the normal one. Just keep still when uncloaking and you're golden. Gotten a lot, lot better as soldier. Still trying to complete rj_rckteer in under 5 minutes though. ;_;

#1 - You don't even need to DBAN. You can use the Windows utility and it will work fine. #2 - Doesn't really matter. I find it easier just to keep it all in C:\, but you can definitely specify another drive/partition for programs; i.e., when you install something, use something like D:\Programs\* instead of the default. Actually partitioning the drive will require something such as GParted, which is simple to use. Be sure to defragment before you attempt to resize/create. #3 - Graphics card; drivers on the CD will be outdated so download the ones from ATi's site or let Windows Update find them. Windows Update will also find drivers for other things if it's necessary. #4 - Generally not a good idea. It's always best to reinstall; you can usually create a backup of your settings for things like browsers, IRC, and so on.

They aren't. I had a G11 which broke after 6 months.

RIP, Nujabes. You're sorely missed. One of the better lists right here.

...and by running Crysis, it would burn the guy's house down. Laptops are not meant for that sort of thing; those high-spec £2000 gaming laptops still generally suffer from horrendous heat problems, especially since they have more powerful components that will be stressed harder in a small space. I don't know what it is with people and expecting laptops to run games well; the short answer is they won't, and you're better off with a desktop if you're serious about gaming. I don't know what it is with laptops in general, actually. Anything remotely powerful is 17"+ and really heavy to carry around all day, so I don't understand why people want them other than space constraints. In short: got space/playing games? Desktop. I believe that most people who say they need a laptop for portability don't actually take it anywhere other than between their desk and their bed. I'm just a hater. It should run Warcraft fine and I would be worried if it didn't.

Agreed. I've not actually noticed much difference myself. My speeds and ping times are about the same as they are when I use a cable, but this isn't true for everyone. It's a very, very minor difference for me.

Why is that? I see no problems in having Vista. Are you saying that because you have Vista on a computer that's from the pre-Vista era? Pretty sure he's joking.

There's worse stuff you could be listening to than this young man.

I can't take MMOs anymore either. I must have clocked over 1500 hours on RuneScape over a year or two, much less on RO and WoW. This makes me feel kind of ashamed, actually.

SICK BEATS MAN

I loved both, as they are concise, with actually intelligent main characters. Are there any more that are like Code Geass and Death Note? Haha. Nope.

Grow it.

I played it for another couple of hours earlier and it's kind of growing, but I definitely need to play it more. I like it enough to come back to it, and I think I should play through story mode or something at least once before I make a decision. I'm still having issues with the controls, but that is probably to do with me being used to 3D games. Graphics and music are A+ though. Love them a lot.

Not trying to be a hater, but if you can't take down a heavy then you probably shouldn't be playing that class... Heavies and soldiers are the easiest to take out, despite the fact they have more health than the other classes. Generally my sniper hierarchy is like: - Medic as top priority - Other snipers - Engineers - Soldiers - Heavies - The rest I'm situational, though. If someone is destroying the rest of my team, then I'll obviously either throw Jarate to help out or take them on by myself. The Huntsman is fun and I personally don't have anything against it, but don't expect to win against a good sniper with a rifle. A good rifle sniper will take you out before you've even aimed it, let alone charged it up. All of those weapons that people "hate" are fun to use except for the Backburner, which is one of the most situational weapons in the entire game. It's God-tier on plr_pipeline, though.

Trying to get more into BlazBlue. It's starting to click but it's going to be a while before I feel confident with it. I'm spoiled by 3D fighters.

Got BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger yesterday and I'm simply not feeling it like I thought I would. I like 2D fighters a lot but this one doesn't seem right. Maybe I'm [developmentally delayed]ed or something but the controls feel so strange; seems like it caters to people who just want to spam one or two attacks instead of people who want to play it properly. I've only played it for an hour and a half, so I feel like I need to give it a chance before I shelve it and move onto something else. At least it's a decently challenging game.

Now you've made me want to continue my second playthrough. :3 I think I will, after breakfast.

I have a pretty simple phone and I wouldn't really want anything else. It can browse the Internet and it has a camera (the latter being useful when I can't be bothered to look for mine) but other than that, it's just a phone. Not like I need anything complex because I don't go out much and I certainly wouldn't want anyone to call me when I do.

If you get trolled, it's your own fault. Easy ways to avoid being trolled? Avoid posting personal stuff where everyone can see it; don't act like a moron; don't ask for it; don't be naive. The Internet demands a certain degree of cynicism and scepticism to survive outside of Facebook. If you're crying about how your parents wouldn't buy you a videogame on your blog and someone makes fun of you, then you've asked for it. It's that simple. I'm certain people would make fun of someone in real life for that too. I like to keep moderately low-key and I confine a lot of personal stuff to very small, private forums and private IM chats. My post count here makes me feel uncomfortable until I remind myself it's all in MM&T. Heh.

Scales and barre chords over and over. Barre chords are gonna make your fretting hand kill for a few days, but you can build on them so easily and they sound incredible. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barre_chord

Mine is wired. So is it my ISP? It does seem that way since you don't appear to be having any issues contacting your router. I would call them up and ask anyway, but I would say you're right.

Similar issue here myself. I can't check if it's my router or my ISP for real until I wire up, but the results I get are fairly similar.

Muse's first three are decent but questionable choices in production made them lose credibility.
