Oh I'm so down. I still play zombie escape sometimes on CS:S. Never gets old. So down for Office.
Also 15 years for me. Fuck man we are getting old as shit.
Also, loving Back 4 Blood. Highly recommend to everyone who enjoys coop zombie action. I play on steam. gLiTch handle was retired with FT. You can find me as theRemedy on Steam friends.

Super down for a rerun. I think we all have some old connections to plan something ahead of time, on an updated game, or even outdated, for all of us to do an event on. I would look forward to that very much

ok so im gonna start the process of buying a nice gaming pc. I really only know the basics about computers so building one is gonna get messy, Vector built his last one thought so I think he'll help me out a bit. I just don't know where to start, like I wish i had a checklist of every single thing I need, as well as where to get them from (Newegg?). Edited Mon Feb 28 2011, 10:24AM |

Easy enough is to just browse public wishlists on newegg. Get a good idea, or even order one of theirs. Here is a sub 1k, solid build. I didn't look too much into it though, just make sure all the components match. -[link]- here is a nice build. On a quick skim through I think everything matches up. -[link]- Edited Tue Mar 01 2011, 02:49AM |

I found that getting all of my shit from Cyberpowerpc.com (somehow) saved me about $500 off of what my computer would have been if I bought it part for part on newegg... I'm not sure if I hit them at the right time and they had a great sale or if they're always that cheap... In any case, they build the computer and send it to you. (it took ~a month to get to me, if that's an issue for you...) P.S. Look around a couple different ways... I set up my computer the exact same way twice and it came out $100 cheaper because of a certain base I started out with. (I'm not sure if it was a cheaper base and the addons didn't add up to as much or if it was a more expensive base and the addons came out as less -- mess around with it...)

reading up I am highly considering buying a pre-made pc. the time saved and professional set-up seem worth it than me returning incompatible parts, which for some reason i foresee happening no matter what i do. also what should i look for in a motherboard? i know at the minimum i need 3 slots for memory but what else should i look for Edited Tue Mar 01 2011, 04:45PM |

at this point in time i have a decent understanding of every part i need EXCEPT for the motherboard. i vaguely understand what it does, and the specs for it make no sense to me, and i haven't found a web-link to explain it to me yet. i cant buy the processor w/o a matching mobo and i can't figure out how to look for a decent one. | ||
