Left 4 Dead
Kill them when you don't need them anymore. The witch one is easy if you kill the bots beforehand. Not to get barfed on is easy if you find the boomer and melee spam, gotta stay ahead though. To be honest I made it to the finale with bots only on easy and I accidentally got boomerd, not the bots. Kill the bots before you touch the rescue thing, then go run under the stairs in NM. Though I'd suggest this with a friend so you have a reload partner. (You don't need all four do you for untouchables, if they've died beforehand?). - Nothing Special is probably the most difficult one though, even with friends, on easy. Cause if that boomer gets you...=/. Those are the ones I've thought out...

Buying a new computer.. tell me what you think!
Dell isn't 'that' bad to use anymore, but don't expect to get help with the nitty gritty stuff. Regardless what's wrong with a 30+ page thread? If people are getting tired of assisting this guy out, they don't need to start a flame fest here. Actually you know what, this guy set out to buy a pre-made one, and you guys like usual went on about building your own will be cheaper and how much better it will be, and then you convinced this guy who doesn't know a thing about comps to build his own. Regardless if building your own is cheaper or not, you still suggested it, and then convinced him. In my opinion it's your responsibility to see he gets the help he needs since you guys convinced him. Don't be jerks about it taking so long because you guys made it sound uberly awesome. Don't believe me? Go re-read your posts. I'm thinking I even told the guy it would be cheaper at some point. Honestly though don't shred your credibility to pieces. @Quinton, If these guys lose sense of responsibilities you can take the parts and everything you've collected so far to these forums that will help you through the entire thing, regardless if you have no clue about comps: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/forum-31-322.html (this forum) http://discuss.pcmag.com/forums/default.aspx http://discuss.extremetech.com/forums/default.aspx Just so you aren't left in the dark if they ditch you.

No, you don't. You can do any of the three game modes for it. Yea, I got the same ones. Time to no-life!!! I need to get more of my friends playing this though for PC. The things you'll be able to achieve with friends is kind of ridiculous and defeating the purpose of the achievements but oh well. :)

Set your DPI to 10k in a horde attack, and you'll do awesome with a hunting rifle. Regardless it's a one-shot kill. Hordes come in 30 packs per wave. Hunting rifle in an open concept area is extremely deadly, like in Death Toll after the crazy church dude, with a horde attack. It takes a different style of playing though. Unlike the rush through, shoot anything that moves & spray with the laughable recoil in this game, the hunting rifle is still run through, but you might just find yourself slowing down a bit to do those one shot kills. When a horde comes, put yourself behind your teammates and shoot the ones that are coming in the closest, then shoot the ones far away. Hunting rifle is an easy weapon to take out the infected that get to close, but don't waste the 4-6 bullets on one like you would with a rifle, instead it's one bullet. To be honest the uses of the hunting rifle compare equally to the uses of the rifles/shotguns, it's just that most players want to spray, and mindlessly just shoot zombies. Which is epicly fun but having restraint and trying to actually aim with some decency isn't all appealing, especially in a zombie game. Also, can I ask how many achievements every has so far? I got 39 right now w/o the Red Mist, Zombie Genocide achievements yet...:( I'm assuming some of you have 46 or 48?

Uhm...no. The general thought on the forums are rubbish, crap and are so stretched from the truth that pigs do actually fly in Romania. Don't ever takewhat you read on the forums as true or whatever. It's some of the most garbage I've ever seen that almost can rival 4chan itself. After page 10, threads degrade to cake & spies. Anyways those are the conspiracy theories from am inority of WoW-haters trying to make DF look bad. Course it could be true, but honestly the 17 minute game vid doesn't seem to be lying. Download it rather than watching it streamed. Another thing is I've been following Darkfall since I was 14, which would be 2 and some odd years ago, so I highly doubt a prank would go this long.

Buying a new computer.. tell me what you think!
Don't trust that calculator...With having graphics card, a quad CPU, possibly two HDD's...you'll need the 400W+ at least, and 500W is being on the safe side. I own a Q6600 and to be honest it runs everything fine without it being OC'd, and to me there is no difference in performance with it OC'd to 3.2 ghz. Honestly [hide=More detailed personal review of the Q6600]I am capable of having a ridiculous amount of programs run at startup (like 30 non-important ones and 10 100mb+(RAM) programs), and still have the startup in under a minute and 40 seconds. Before my graphics card I was able to have like a quadzillion tabs in Chrome or FF open, or both, and have one game running, with things like Xfire, music, and at times recording with FRAPS @ max'd settings for FRAPS. After the video card pretty much everything doubled in terms of what I could use, which is no doubt to the bottlenecking 7350LE. I'm also capable of running two games (Left 4 Dead & CoD:WaW) at the same time with 30-40 FPS at max settings on both at the same time. So that's just awesome with one video card imo, but I do have to turn off a lot of stuff...=P. But anyways I still feel like I got a lot of room to push things at a non-OC'd CPU. Q6600 is user-friendly and is a quad core for those that don't like OC'ing. Thw Q6600, according to Extremtech's benchmarks, is also a very price/performance guarantee. You're getting your money worth. So unless you plan on doing anything more extreme that this, the Q6600 is probably the best choice.[/hide] The psu you linked looks good to me.

Always try to play Zoey in any campaign, or in solo. She always picks up the worst guns or uses her double pistol to a great extent...Epic failure bot of them all. Bots are idiots, but are tank blowers!

Buying a new tv!
I wouldn't even go to Craigslist for food on a starvation doomsday. this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6889253133 32" for like $500. Got good reviews and I'm most likely going to buy something similar now for my mother, lawl! This is by Toshiba though so I think that's 'good'! Three HDMI ports, plus others for PC connectivity.

Buying a new computer.. tell me what you think!
Since the motherboard you're getting supports a ton of SATA ports, just get that 500gb one and a 250gb or so one to use for backup and if you go into gaming to have for recording performance increase, and other varying uses like another O/S on the comp if you get computer savvy. You don't need it, but prices are so cheap and your motherboard is just asking for at least two, lol. I get suckered into hardware asking to be used to what they were made to be used for. =/ But seriously if you don't know what a part is or why it's better or why you should get it over other things, ask. Most of these tech nerds aren't going to bite you for asking, even if you don't get, but as long as you make an effort to learn by using google, wikipedia or whatever to learn. A reason I haven't even been looking at this thread is cause you got like 5 awesome dudes dishing out information for you. If you've stopped understanding what they're saying/suggesting speak up to prevent arguments/people leaving this topic to help you.

Unless you're planning on 7.1 sound, or are a sound freak where sound has to be perfect in clarity, than you got no problems with integrated sound devices. Also if you're not getting a sound card, don't spend over $120 on speakers, as you'll be wasting money for performance you won't ever see. Sound isn't one of those things that bottleneck, or are very deep in quality anymore. Maybe if you're an audio editor you could use the sound card to an advantage but for gaming/listening to mp3's just being able to hear and turn the volume up/down is more than good enough.

'It never takes that much money'. I'll bet you $10 that it usually takes that and probably more, you just haven't checked it in CPU intensive times because your focus has been on the game in those CPU intensive times. However were you just curious or what to look in the task manager, or were you prompted to go in there for some reason?

Left 4 Dead
One of my many favourite things (and annoying things too) is logging into a game with a non-puberty voice speaking, trying to act arrogant, and dominating to the team, but can't even get a hunter off of someone a few feet away, will not listen to others telling them to revive them, especially when they're the only one left standing up, and they're still talking crap like 'Ha! You guys fail cause I'm the only one left, and I'm so gonna win this without you failures...etc' and is constantly continuing on like that. This is why team killing has stayed in the game imo.

Grind driven? It's a quest grind, lol. Not to mention you have to somehow divide quests up evenly for both of your classes. WoW clone + duo-class + free = Not so much fun game if you've got better things to do. Was my interpretation of the first 30 levels.

Sounds like it might work. :) There's actually a ton of good spots for the smoker, you just never spawn as a smoker in those spots. :(

Pulled a survivor from 100 feet, yet at like 95 or so feet I got put as a tank. Epic fail on the AI Director & the other team just rushing through the entire thing leaving their friend behind. He died and I pwned one guy and then got burnt/shottied to death in 10 seconds. So close to that big drag, anyone got any ideas on how to get it somewhat easily that I'm overlooking?

You need to propose this to someone who has gotten their hands on a SDK for L4D...cause honestly, a Wal-Mart campaign is just awesome any way you look at it!

Not really. If you have a very versatile team, then the machine gun is pretty useful. In Death Toll it's up on high ground, so that's just a bonus. If someone is actually using the minigun properly, and the rest of the team is defending/shooting the blind sides, then it's quite useful, especially for a tank if you have someone with 80+ hp luring the tank away. No Mercy is the same, just not in versus. Dead Air, if they took the van out, it would be an exceptional well spot.

Actually they came from someone working at Valve, who I linked to someone in pages 24 to 26. Anyways for akimbo assassin you can use: - Dual pistols - Grenades - Anything that doesn't go into the gun slot - Melee with or without gasoline or propane *I did all of those for my akimbo assassin. You may not use: - Machine Guns - Pick up a weapon besides a second pistol -- @Dizzle, regardless of the word count, there is an overall size that your signature cannot go over, regardless of images or text included. The quotes make it larger than it needs to be. Simple tip is to put some of them, if not all, into hide tags.

Or you wait as close as you can, out of their view, and watch their body signals. When the two people in the front are both reloading at the same time, thats when you want to go in and die/vomit.
