Sweet, I like monsters!

Haha, I guess that would help! MrScourge Thanks!

Hey hey! Started playing some games again over the holidays and it triggered some nostalgia. I'm so glad to see that GC is still alive and kicking! I haven't really been active since 2007ish, poked my head in for a bit about 5 years ago. Used to rock the CS:S servers a fair bit before I was sucked into the MMO world (DDO, LOTRO). Took advantage of the Steam Holiday Sale and picked up a few new things to play (Banished, Long Dark, South Park: SOT, Prison Architect). So what's new around here? -George

First post in 5 years!! Can I get on the MC server? -George

Wow, this took me by surprise. I spent a lot of time playing with Wayf and just chatting with him back when I was active in CS and on GC. I'm deeply saddened by this news. RIP Wayf, you and your family will be in my thoughts. -George

Just to add in a bit about the whole "don't used synth on a high mileage motor" thing. The only issue you *may* run into with this is oil leaks. Synthetics are smaller on a molecular level and as such they can get through the small wear spaces in gaskets and seals. I've talked to people who put it in a 300k mile car and a had no problems, and I know some that have put it in 100k mile cars and developed leaks(small, and usually a tired crank seal) within days. I personally run Liqui-Moly ( http://www.liqui-moly.de/ ) in my Scirocco. It was reccomended to me by a lot of VW gurus. I like synthetic because of it's higher heat resistence, there's less chance of serious damage in the event of a massive leak and the motor running dry(before I manage to shut it off). I've been using it in this motor since I rebuilt it (20k miles ago) and I've had no issues. I race the car often, and it get's driven quite hard most of the time as well as spending long periods at 4-5k rpm(road trips!). HTH -George P.S. While on the subject of oils, I swear by RedLine Gear oil. Night and day difference from regular stuff, just make sure you get the right kind depending on the type of syncros in your tranny.

I agree, those wheels fit the car perfect! All the shots are 2:3 image ratio, I can spin one out for you at 1600x1066 if you like. Just shoot me a pm with your email and I'll send it over. -George

Hey all, It's been a while since I've posted, but I've been doing a bit of reading lately and noticed that nobody has posted anything in here in such a long time. C'mon, let's see some stuff! He's a couple from a shoot I did on the weekend.(HDR at owners request) 1) 2) 3) 4) Hope you enjoy! -George

Ummm..... that has nothing to do with how fast the shutter *can* be ... it's how fast it HAS to be based on available light. P&S camera's generally only go up to 400 ISO ... at that level most indoor/lowlight shots will need either a flash, or a tripod and everybody holding very still. The G5 is and AWSOME P&S camera, one of the better ones out there IMO. GL with the sale benjester. -George

Have you got all the drivers installed that come with it?? Mine worked fine right away. I find that for CS, I'm faster to just punch "B" and the keypad. I'm always in the mood for a different combo and I can't remember what each of the G keys is set to. -George

Press the "MR" key. Press the G key of your choice. Punch in the combo of keys (like "B" "8" "2" "B" "3" "1" "B" "6" Hehe). Then press "MR" again. The LCD tells you what to do step by step. HTH -George -still alive contrary to popular belief.

Hi I'm walmart, ahh.... buy stuff from me. hahahaha yeah, that looks like fun, lol. -George

I'll have to say there was something rather enjoyable about tearing open 5 fresh untouched 250gb WD sata HD's, lol. I'm just finishing driver install on number 4. Number 5 is on the bench and awaiting a bios reset ... keeps decting case intrusion .... I dunn wanna pull is apart to swap out the bored . First one on Friday night took me 2 hours for the physical build(sealed boxes to booting it up). The final one last night took me 40 minutes, lol. Running all the wires and the IDE cable was nice by the end, no more thinking, I just new where they'd fit best, haha. -George -Long weekend: 5 PC builds, 3 shifts at work #2, and 6 hours yesterday morning to shoot my fist PAYING photography event .... I'm pooped Edit: Tearing open the sealed static bags for 5 HD's, lol. Not the drives themselves.

Hahaha, I thought that might get some attention. My brother and I are bulding some camera systems for a local video store chain. Started last night with the first 5. I'm doing the hardware build and windows install and helping with the physical install of the systems, he's doing the networking/software side of it. I'm actually learning quite a bit from all this. Oh, and don't drool too much. They may be 775, but they're only 533fsb/2.66ghz, and they have the ever popular ATI 9250 haha. -George ..... up too early!
