  1. There can be a whitelist without excluding non-paying members. As long as there is a vetting or "vouching" policy in place, anyone who asks could get on the whitelist.
  2. Miss Cleo ain't got nothin' on me.
  3. Would not surprise me either. The vocal minority rule the internet discussion, but they are still the minority. PC folks haven't been able to trade or sell used games in ages and they aren't crying about it. Not to mention the fact that I don't sell my old games anyway (I make sure to only buy the good ones). I'm looking forward to the Xbox One more than the PS4 simply because MS is trying new ideas to make the experience better. The PS4 thus far has felt closer to a PS3.5 in that it is a more incremental improvement without trying anything too daring. That said I want both because the exclusives are just looking so damn good. PC gamers also have to spend 5-6 times as much as console gamers for their system. They have money and don't need to trade games in to buy new ones even if they could. The N64 came out when I was in 5th grade, I remember classmates that never owned more than one game because they would buy one, play it, then turn around and trade it in for a new one. Some didn't even buy games, they rented them all from Blockbuster. I think PCs are for the older gamer. You need the money to be able to actually afford a gaming PC and you need a general idea of how they work. That way when they break you aren't always calling your uncle because he gave you his old PC but now he regrets it because every time there's an issue you call him because you never owned a PC before and have no idea how a PC works because you're a spoiled brat that had an Xbox 360 AND a Playstation 3 since you were six years old! I get where you're coming from - I just have a feeling that in the end this will all end up being NBD, even if that means MS backtracks on a few things.
  4. I have a Razr Maxx, and Tasker sounds way more advanced and granular than SmartActions. Pretty cool stuff!

  6. I have to ask... was this topic STARTED in wonderland, or did it come close to setting a record for "fastest banishment to wonderland"?
  7. Hey Flitter, any idea why the Enter key doesn't work for posts with IE10/Win8?

      Answer is IE. :P

  8. Yay for watching sports with friends! However, don't you mean "Hello Bruins"? Here's hoping for a 7 game series for the cup.
  9. Is this a subscription game or something?
  10. I'm on my second playthrough at the moment. If anyone wants to co-op, hit me up on steam.
  11. Picking up a cheap external hard drive enclosure (make sure it is compatible with your old drive IDE or SATA) would be a quick and easy way to try to salvage your files. You can just plug the enclosure in to the USB port on your laptop then copy/paste to your heart's content. As for the software, I'm assuming you have either installation media or executables or something? Shouldn't be a problem to reinstall those on a replacement system. If they have restrictive licensing, calling the purveyor of said software can usually clear it up quickly (had to do this with Adobe CS4 before). Anytime I do work on someone's computer that won't boot, my SOP is to pull the drive, put it in an enclosure, then back everything up before doing anything else. Haven't lost anything yet!
  12. Over a decade later, and this battle still rages on...
  13. Dear Ornstein and Smough: F you guys. Seriously.

      Those guys suck big ones. If you have played Dark Souls, this would make more sense.

      All I can think of is Smaug now

  14. I'm amazed you guys didn't crash the server with the rampant farm animal sex happening with this grief attempt.
  15. I've started to get the itch to loot hunt again... might fire this back up again soon. If anyone catches me online, feel free to join the hunt. I don't have the gear for any ridiculous act IV inferno farming or anything.
  16. Trying to work up the nerve to start fresh on Dark Souls. After 60+ hours lost, I'm still mad at Sony for locking the PS3 hard drives to specific consoles.

      Might as well start on PC

      ...So I can spend more money on a game I already own?

      Good point. :D I have it twice as well as other games

  17. That mom needs to get her money back...
  18. Idc ! I will have my dragons !!! I.... I'm inclined to believe her. Too much confidence/conviction.
  19. YOU ARE NO TRUE KHALEESI! I see yo wolf army, I'm all like "Dracarys"
  20. I know exactly what this is:
  21. What did I just read? What is going on here?? WHAT YEAR IS THIS???
  22. Whenever I see someone posting how superior FemShep is to DudeShep, this is all I can picture: "... you probably haven't heard of her." Jennifer Hale is good. Mark Meer is good. Jennifer Hale is not "far superior" to Mark Meer as Commander Shepard.
  23. You monsters! How could you burn all the jungles????
  24. Glad you got it fixed! I learned a long time ago that the PSU is one of the key components you do NOT skimp on when building yourself. It's not as sexy as a smoking fast graphics card, but solid consistent power makes for happy components.
  25. I'm betting the vibrations are normal. You should feel/see the vibrations from a Harley 88 or 96 cu in v-twin. Makes your arm hair all tingly when you get off. It's most noticeable when you're stopped, and you get used to it pretty quickly. Ride safe!
