No probs here.

As always any day is good for me, what time?

Wentz was playing, he went idle and never came back. Don't let the time he has been away fool ya, he's just as good as ever if not better. He must have been doing some secret training high uptop some mountain in the far east.

That bites. Anyone know what the average failure rate is for the new consoles? Long live the NES! Mine still works

Providing the schools have not let out yet: 6Mbps 15 minutes later: 2Mbps Comcast: Can't live with it, can't live without it.

I have noticed it seems to happen when Flitter is losing. *cough* admin rights *cough*

Well there was my first wife...

Yeah all we are missing is just one more person and seems you are the one holding us back by not joining up. Right now we need more participation. We lost Lex to WOW, Wentz to puberty, Tek to Oblivion and the rockets on Primus's wheel chair backfired. Well actually Wentz might be back but I can't tell because the power supply fairy left nothing under my pillow today. I still see most everyone but seems we all play at staggered times instead of the typical 8:00 we once did. And play for hours. I would love to be more competitive but as we are we have no leader so I think thats why we are idle. I have no communication skillz (or contacts) to pull in scrims plus family activities hinder some things. That and I am internetless until I get home from work at 4pm. We need someone more in tune with communicating with other clans and those types of activities. I am not one to talk, I just want to shoot them in the head. What you guys are playing and having fun without me? Waaaaa

Did you just say chicken lotion? Cheers!

k.dee!!! Good to see you. Haven't got to play any UT this week, my power supplied died and seems the new one didn't show up today. Darn you free shipping option!

Last week I picked up a UT2K4 on DVD at Gamespot! for $10 so my son and I could play together online without using the same key. The next day he was grounded off the computer and now my power supply is dead. Buying an extra copy of UT is sure to spell certain doom for all parties involved. I remember this one time in band camp...

Nice laptop Wentz, I just wonder how the 7700 is going to perform in the UT3 dept. I have a 7900 GT and it sometimes bogs under Company of Heroes. Well that is if I had a power supply...

How could an idiot manage to get hold of 8 million bucks?

Cool, my birthday!

I dig this map -good combination of DM and vehicles. ONS-Dreamus

Here is my multi-PC rig. From right to left: 1) WinXP Athlon64 3500+ @ 2.4 + GeForce 7900 GT 2) Win95/DOS Pentium 200 + Voodoo 4mb + PowerVR 4mb + S3 Virge 4mb 3) Win98 Celeron 300A @ 450 + 2 Voodoo2 12mb in SLI + nVidia TNT2 32mb Here is my living room rig. Instead of comp upgrades this christmas I opted for a Panasonic 50" plasma.

Na, I have a shag table like that in my kitchen.

Maybe try another game?

I've discovered Logitech makes a G3. Essentially the same mouse I am using now but with a couple more buttons and the optics of a G5/G7. Sounds like a winning combo and I shall get one shortly. Come get some!

Bought one of those a week ago, returned it the next day. I'm not saying that they are bad mice, too many things about it annoyed me. Good price tho. Just don't buy a mouse without test driving it first -course we all know that here dude, but I I'm thinking about getting a Logitech G3. Same as my current logitech but with better optics.

Yeah I don't go to Tom's anymore but was a good place for use n00bs in the 90's Also kudos to Tom for keeping every archive since then! Good article but we all know we really want right now, a pair of 8800s lol.

I have a old logitech mouse. -----> Past couple of weeks the mouse wheel been acting funny, not scrolling then scrolling too far. Then a few days ago it was loosing tracking in UT 2004. Hmmm guess time for a mouse. I tried the G5 before but the thing feels like I'm moving a coconut half. People complain about the Razor mice being too small and too light -must be the mouse for me. BestBuy had the Copperhead on sale for $50 and I had a coupon for 10% off. I walked out the door with the last one, all happy and the like. Here are my list of complaints from bad to worse: Mouse too long. Mouse base too narrow. Wheel too far towards the front. Wheel button too hard to push. The 2 main mouse buttons too easily clicked. I wanted to rip the the glowing grippy edge thingys off. I played a few rounds of UT and the mouse irritated me. I seemed to play with slighlty less accuracy but the mouse was uncomfortable. I had to move the mouse with my palm instead of my pivoting with my wrist. I also had to keep my ring finger up where as I could rest it on the button before without clicking. I was reading about the adjustable polling rate the Razor and other mice can do and came across a program where it can adjusted in WinXP. Pulled out the Razor and hooked up my old Logitech. Ran the program and low and behold I changed it from 125 to 500, 250 and 1000 are also supported. But that didn't fix my tracking problem, then for some reason I looked at my laser. There was a tiny hair hung up in it's cavity, funny how I have never thought about cleaning the lens up until this point. Hey it worked, got my tracking back. Next was the wheel, so I took the mouse apart and sure enough there were some tiny fibers where the wheel tracking is. After a good cleaning and a little lube on my switches the mouse operates like brand new. I took the Razor back for a refund. I'll keep my $10 mouse for now. And that's my Krystal story.

Panasonic 50" plasma TV -best gift ever! That's it -every thing else doesn't matter.

Actually its a Biostar TForce4 SLI. I was hesitant about buying a Biostar but it has been the coolest motherboard I've bought in the past 10 years.
