  1. Yo yo, got a small problem here. For about a week and a half whenever I play CSS or TF2 I'm getting some massive lag spikes. It's like every other minute or so I get a large spike in loss/choke, it goes away after a second but it keeps happening? It's not just on GC servers, so I'm worried my comp might be bugging out or at the very least my video card, or it may just be my internet connection. Suggestions?

  2. After getting hit by a car at 80 mph and needing surgery on my right shoulder, I'm ready to get back in the gym and regain all my lost strength. I've already done 4 months of physical therapy so I have my 'base strength' back I guess, but I need to get back up there so I can compete at my level again for next wrestling season. Any tips from anyone else whose had surgery?

  3. Just bought a Wii, what are some accessories to stay away from, what do I need to buy?

    Games,

    chargers

    Guns,

    etc..

    If you shake it more than three times, you're playing with it.

     

    Stay away from any non-nintendo brand accesory stuff, nothing really good is out yet for it.

     

    Some games to buy are:

    No More Heroes

    Super Mario Galaxy

    Guitar Hero III (wooOOooo)

    Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

    Metroid Prime 3

     

    Mario Kart Wii and Smash Bros Brawl are out next month as well.

  4. We had/have a total of 3 Wiimotes.

     

    We don't use them excessively, probably a couple of hours a week at most and have had the Wii for probably about a year now. Two of the remotes seem to have lost their "motion sensing" capability, but have only been used for probably a grand total of 50 hours each, not been thrown or banged against hard objects etc.

     

    Anyone else had this problem? I can't believe we've had two die so quickly/with so little use and I'm wondering if anyone's encountered this/found a solution or whether I've just been unlucky and have two "duds".

     

    (I've tried fresh batteries, resetting their connection to the Wii etc.)

     

     

    Did you try the reset button on the Wii, not the ones in the acutal wii remotes, but there's a reset switch on the Wii on the front. Try pressing that and the reset buttons on the Wii remotes. Might work.

     

    If not call Nintendo's support line, if the things are busted they usually will just ship you free new wii motes.

  5. The only odd thing I saw in that experience was the display case that had the combo of sunscreen and ready to serve bacon. What are they trying to say with that....

    You can now enjoy your bacon while getting a tan for the beach?

  6. One time me and my brother were walking though a Meijer's, a Target-Walmart clone in Michigan, and we passed the toy department on the way to the electronics section. Wanting to go there to pick up a DVD at 3 in the morning on X-mas eve proved to be a mistake as we reached the department to find it swarmed with people desperately trying to get their shopping done. After much shoving and rude comments we knabbed "Super Troopers", only on the way out to watch two grown men duking it out for the last Nintendo DS, eventually the larger man throwing the smaller man into a group of women and taking out a display case of sun tan lotion and ready-to-serve bacon. Oddest five minutes of my life.

  7. So the last couple of days I haven't been able to do jack with my computer with online stuff besides Instant Messenger, and even then it cuts out. My connection is using wireless internet and all that jazz, and every so often the connection just cuts out and the linksys monitor will display "Cannot Associate with Access Point" or "Internet Can't Be Found". Sometimes I'll be able to get on the internet, but the moment I try going to a site with anything downloadable (images, video, etc) I lose my connection again and have to wait for the dang thing to reconnect.

     

    Should I just abandon all ye hope and reformat?

  8. I believe it was Selfcontrol. After the incident we talked about it, and it seems that Self had asked for this spray not to be used multiple times over a couple day period. So, I don't think that a kick was out of line. While I don't think the picture is obscene, every one has their own line in the sand regarding that kind of stuff.

     

    For my part, if an admin askes you to stop doing something, you stop. Period. If you have an issue with it you do just what Shadowman has done and post up about it. However, he missed the first part, the whole following the admins request part :)

    Asked for a couple of days? I only played last night out of the whole week. If someone had a problem with it in the past then no one made an attempt to tell me about it until last night.

  9. Ok, not one to start a fire or anything, but I got kicked for use a spray of a hot model girl. The picture is just of her standing in a bikini, and I get kicked with a reason of it being 'offensive'. What does that even mean? Who is offended by the random hot chick? I've been using the same dang spray for a couple months and none of the admins had any problems with until tonight where suddenly I'm the villain posting offense material.

  10. I got hit by a car while I was stopped at a red light, and the guy who hit me who was going 80 mph. Yet I was not able to sue.

     

    But listen to 00ber, don't speak about the accident about who's fault it was or anything until the court date. Opening your mouth about it can come back to bite you in the end.
