other quick question... when I put my compie back together I re-did the cooling compound over the processor and heatsink and may have gotten a little of it down in the crevice between processors and board. should I panic now? Ring

So about 4 days ago I was lurking on the Black Mesa forums and noticed that one of the devs had a problem with their computer where the capacitors on her motherboard were bulging\leaking and it ended up bricking her MB. I, being the hypochondriac that I am thought to myself "I wonder what my caps look like I've never had occasion to check" so I opened up my box and took a look inside and lo and behold I had 3 bulging caps 2 of which had developed a slight leak. I found a joint here in springberg that said that they'd swap all my caps out for me and it'd only cost around $35 - $40 now me being the hardware ignorant that I am wonder if this was a good deal or not. I hadn't yet encountered any problems from these bad caps but a cursory google search indicated that bad things were on the way unless I got this fixed. so...? Ring

always good news to discover that we've got another partner!! YAY!!

if it's any consolation ebil I'm having car troubles as well and the day before I'm supposed to move back to school. Apparently I have a bad piston head or a bad throttle guage sensor or something... Ring

If I can get time off from work this year I'll be doing my best to get over there but the likelihood of that happening is rather low. I'd say around 10% however if things pull through it'll be my first FFOhio

I feel that CS:S has pretty much run it's course and that is the main reason for the server's apparent death. I still play but I greatly prefer TF2 these days. I hang around and continue to play CS:S and support the servers (by the way dues in the "mail" soon as I get my Christmas check deposited) but that's because of the community here which, at least when I'm playing and around is still a good community. @Vovik, I think you just got unlucky, playing with a couple of poopy butts. I'm glad you're not serious about quitting and if ever you experience a similar problem check to see if I'm on steam (I think we're friends and if not feel free to friend invite me) and I'll come in and fix the problem. You could also contact any of the other admins that I'm sure fill your friends list. Well there's my 2 cents. HAPPY BOXING DAY!!!!! Ring EDIT: fixed link, inserted wring url

I just found out that about 6 days ago my Best Friend got dumped by his Girlfriend of 2 and a half years. I don't know the details because he didn't want to volunteer them but this was a woman whom he had entertained thoughts of marriage to. I just saw him today face to face for the first time since the breakup and I've never seen him so tormented. He really needs prayer. I also need prayer. Finals week is next week but my personal decent into madness begins Friday. I have a revue/presentation that determines whether I can progress further in my degree program (BFA Theatre Tech). It will be in front of 8 professors 2 of which do not have the most stellar opinions of me. Please pray that I'll be calm about the up-coming and that I'll be able to keep a level head about me (2 things that I have trouble with when I'm stressed) and that I'll be able to do my best so that whether I fail or succeed I have no regrets. Thanks, Ring

I think that it's a common theme that Most of us who play on the GC servers play here because we like the people. I started at the beginning because I was a language prude who got sick of hearing obscenities if I un-muted people. Since then I've found other clean servers but keep coming back here (and eventually became admin here) because I've found a CSS server that's kinda like Cheers I almost always get greeted by a friend when I show up and it makes the experience that much more fun. I've not been playing recently becuase school is threatening to kill me with work loads and stress. But finals week is coming up so I'll be able to play a whole lot more (never study during finals week you'll just die) I guess the point that I'm trying to make is... This community is the reason I still play CS:S at all and I want to protect it. Ring

I hope to be there but I'll be a smidge latish maybe. Ring

I'll be late as well but I've got a new play type I'd like to try out if people are up for it.

so mookie are you running?

perhaps not that much but the games are somewhat fun. Ring

indeed, tis bold... Sorry I'm stuck in Shakespere mode, in a performance of "The Scottish Play" opening in 2 days. Ring

Felicitations of the day and such. Happy 4th Ring

I think it went well until someone started doing very strange things with the gravity and crashed the server. Ring

well it looks like the maps aren't going to get uploaded but I'll still be running this thing tonight, 9:00 Eastern, 8:00 Central. Be there. Ring

Well I'm subbing for shaft this week. I don't know if I can get them uploaded in time but if I can here are some maps. http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/12475 http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/55085 http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/18700 http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/529 http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/88578 http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/3857 http://www.fpsbanana.com/maps/5418 Hope to see you there! Ring

I can do it and even have some maps picked out that might be fun if you don't want to have to go through the entire process. No offense intended Shaft but after ending up subbing 2 weeks in a row I thought it would be good to prepare against a possible third. I'll hunt up the links again for the maps I've already downloaded and put them up in the admin forum for actual uploading (still don't know how to do that) if that's alright with you. Ring

*bad pun alert* In order for that to happen Shaft's plans have to be "foiled" again. Ring

STEAM_0:1:20188899 Because after being warned twice for swearing at end of map he goes... *DEAD* INsaneoo : opmg F**K off u Fat F**KING piece of S**T got F**K ur self Would have got him on the next map but he didn't stick around. Ring

alas!

Shaft's unavailable so I'll try my hand at this running gig. No new maps because I didn't have time to hunt any up but we'll still be running. Ring

When DNF finally comes out I'll be in my bomb shelter because I'm pretty sure its release begins the apocalypse. That's why 3DR keeps delaying it, they're trying to keep the world safer that much longer. Ring

Somehow I don't see that happening any time soon.
