I assume you guys are playing another version of TF2 other than the F2P one on steam, as I never seem to find hats or anything, just weapons. :unsure:

Was late for class again today :|
My REM cycles are happening at the wrong times...
Has helped me quite a bit with getting up intime for class.
OH GOD ITS STARTING
? :unsure:
Wasn't there a thread about linking sites that were about sleeping [and lack there of] and getting paid for it as long as you didn't bump a thread that was 5+ months old and you were a fairly active poster on the forum?
I'm pretty sure someone had a bet about how fast it would spread to TIF and who would try it first...
I'd forgotten about that. It's just a clock for that counts back sleep cycles so you know when best to wake up/go to bed so you don't interrupt them.
Wish I was getting paid for it though.

OT. She's finally unblocked me on skype/facebook and various other places. After 7 months together you'd think she'd realise that if she didn't want to talk she could have just asked, but yeah, girls are a freaking mind[bleep].

A Dell Outlet laptop is probably the best in that price range. Not exactly the best built things but for the price you're not going to get much better. Or just search around for a generic 2nd gen i3 laptop, will handle RS, Youtube, etc perfectly.

My friends all suck for this sort of thing so I figured who better to ask than anonymous internet users. How do I get over the breakup and her? Don't feel like going into details right now so general advice is appreciated.

two hats from one cracker? :P
Cracker is roughly 4b, purp 1.1b and green 1.4b so if I sold the cracker I could easily afford it.
But do like my cracker XD.
My bad, but atleast you can half finish your set. And you wont get the thrill of opening it if you just buy the hats outright.
-
Open the cracker, maybe you'll finish the set.

Youtube playlists with private/blocked videos in them.

I must be getting blind, I don't see an effigy on that screen. :s
Effigy in the sense of a figure of a person, they're playing with the RS meaning and dictionary meanings. :wink:

How is this gonna work?
Maybe it'll replace the wall?

- You don't need a 2600k for gaming, get the 2500k - it's cheaper
- With that high of a budget I'd get a 570 or a 6970, whichever suits.
- Check if the Samsung Spinpoint F3 is cheaper than the caviar black - traditionally the latter is more expensive but they are equal in terms of performance.
- Get either 4GB (2x2GB) or 8GB(2x4GB) RAM. 16GB is unnecessary.
- Do you really need the bluray drive? You can ditch blu-ray capabilities for a nice price saving.
- Don't get a mATX board, go ATX.
I think Ill stick with the 2600k its not too much more expensive and itll cover me for the foreseeable future
its the 570 worth the upgrade from 560? if it worth the $90 price difference I will get the 570 instead.
I guess I dont really need a bluray, seeing as i watch everything on the ps3 anyway.
and is there an ATX motherboard you would recommend? I was also looking at the Asus maximus IV extreme, but it is $100 more expensive
- ATX
- USB 3.0 & SATA 3
- PCI 3.0
- SLI/Crossfire at x8
Up to you really. You could even go 7970 with that budget, but it's probably overkill for a "mid range" gaming PC.
- What resolution are you playing at? I'd go for a 2GB card even if you're at a low resolution for future monitor/game requirement upgrades.
- Get an SSD for OS. Crucial M4 is the most reliable.
- Make sure you get low profile RAM with that cooler.
-
Seriously? You should tip as long as the person isn't rude. I don't see how this can be debated like this?
So you tip the guy at the checkouts in supermarkets or shop assistants? Do you tip the bus driver? Etc...
No. They get paid for their job, and so do waiters. If the managers take advantage of the social norm that tipping has become and pay less than minimum wage then that's something that should be sorted, but people shouldn't feel obligated to tip because someone is taking advantage of the system.

Looks like the 6 months for the price of 4 offers they are starting to implement will be the new source of my membership in the future. 7/month is too much for me.

Try all of these:
It has come to our attention that there are a lot of topics posted here in regards to runescape not functioning in some way. The purpose of this topic is to provide a list of fixes to try that will usually be reccomended by posters anyway and will often fix most minor problems.
So if you have a problem with runescape, try the following before posting a topic:
Update your java version
Reinstall Java
Clear browser cache
Clear Jagex cache
Try another browser
Try the official RS client
Try using different graphics mode (software, OpenGL, DirectX) for troubleshooting
Try switching between high and low detail to see if only one has the problem
Update graphics card drivers
If you do all or many of these things and you still have a problem, then post away!
-
If it's not coming out in a screenshot, try autoadjusting your monitor.

Also, the Sempron processor you have is also a single core CPU, so I doubt that you'd be able to play Skyrim with that CPU if you eliminate the bottleneck caused by the integrated graphics.
Wow, can't believe I missed that. My mind assumed athlon+ after reading AMD and immediatly jumped to the GPU... :oops:
-
Oh I get you, yeah, 220W max :|.....
But hey, now I understand better how to build comps.
One last thing though, if I were to spend ~$1000 usd on a computer, how much better would you say a comp would be at the same price if you built it from the ground up? %-wise I guess.
Quite a lot better, although HDD prices will lower the gap.
Building your own gets you:
- Decent motherboard for overclocking, SLI, PCI 3.0.
- Decent graphics card.
- Decent PSU that can power future upgrades.
- May be able to slip in an SSD, not sure on american pricing though.
- Good case with airflow.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head, but basically you build the computer for what you're going to use it for. "Gaming" prebuilts often come with an i7 2600k or an old i7 with a dead socket which is not needed and underpowered graphics cards that can't be upgraded because of the PSU.
-
I just realised you're atd. Also, got about a 3 inch slot, pretty positive its for a gfx card. Black, looks like those two in that pic.
>what PSU
As in? And uhm, is it pretty straightforward when installing? Plug in and install any drivers?
:mrgreen:
PSU = Power Supply Unit. Big box type thing in your case with cables coming out of it.
I'm guessing if it's a prebuilt then it's going to be around the 200W mark and is going to be a cheap generic one that won't stand up to many graphics cards so that'll limit your options.
Yeah, it's basically that. Plug in, let windows install its own generic drivers and then update.
-
So then, I'm looking at newegg.com, and I can't tell wtf is gonna work with Skyrim and what isn't..I'm sure most would, is that all it req's is a card that is DirectX 9.0c compliant?
Pretty much as your board has a PCI-E slot, all depends on what PSU you have now. Open up the case and have a look.
-
Download this, run it and screen shot it here. That'll tell us the motherboard and what PCI slots it has (and whethere or not there is a GPU but that's been pretty much established). What PSU is in it? Open up the case and have a look.
