What about people blaming their team for losing and making everyone tinkled off? I've seen a few highly competitive players that just ruin the game becuase they try so hard.

Hey guys,

I was Googling around trying to find ways to install my steam games onto my SSD so i would take advantage of the performance increase, and I found this program; http://www.traynier....ware/steammover . its kinda old but it works well and i was able to easily move my games over to my other SSD.

basically what it does is makes a Symlink junction over to your SSD so that steam "thinks" your games are still on your normal drive, but are instead in the other faster one.

Thought i'd share this with all the Guys with fast gaming rigs.

nice way to get an extra 10-20% more performance with your blazing fast hardware.

I included it in my attachments in case you just wanna download it here.

recently bought a 27" Asus 16:9 monitor. Once you go 1080p you never go back.

I call guild moderator! What should i of put the number of members for gcftw? 500-999?

here's my response to friends when they ask about phones:

 

if you're the type to build your own computer (not on dell.com), like customizing your rig, or run linux, you're going to love android and hate the iphone.

 

if you don't care about that stuff and don't curse itunes, OR if you plan to use it heavily for media, get an iphone. sorry, but i'm just not impressed with android's media player or management. i'm sure you can change that with 3rd party apps, but that's exactly the point. i don't want to.

I'm marking this day down on my calendar, as I am quoting stutters in agreement.

 

This is basically what I tell people when they ask me about phones, with the small modification that I also think Android can be for the "basic user" as much as the iPhone can be. I have had my Droid X since it was released a year and a half ago, and have loved it. I like to tinker with it (and apparently I need to check out the awesome sauce app ZD described above) and I hate the thought of being confined into the "Jobs experience". I also build my own computers, so I guess I fit the profile. If someone is not pre-disposed one way or the other, I tell them to find the phone hardware they like and roll with it. If they only want a phone that they won't have to screw with much and will talk to their MacBook Air, then I tell them to go iPhone.

 

Also, iTunes blows.

You gotta remember the iPhone is honestly the best phone for mobile gaming right now. Currently the iPhone 4S has the best APU for graphics.

Don't support the ATI/AMD monopoly! It's teh evils!

if you want to make a rebuke to what i said on the other thread; go ahead. don't go around mocking what i type when you had nothing to contribute to that conversation anyways.

Don't worry man, it's just a joke. I don't take myself very seriously on these forums, just ask around.

 

congrats on the purchase, lousiest!

lol, i apologize. I tend to have very strong beliefs about certain topics and I've noticed i express them rather loudly and insensitively. gotta work on that...

Sad to see you go buddy. i think L4D in general is full of try-hards and bullies. When there is this much competitive team play and strategy in a game, everyone can get a little stressed out when they're all not on the same page. I haven't personally seen you get picked on in specific; but i'm sure there is a few players that get made fun of regularly. come back soon dude. i hope once this community gets large enough and has enough regulars to fill an entire server everyday, it would be cool to make it a member only server.

you should come play some CSS on the retro server though . Every member there is super nice and admins tend to always be on so you could easily get a ban for someone if they're disturbing the game.

i would really like to see inferno played more often. aztec and cobble seem to dominate this mapcycle.

A beast on the way

all he needs now is a SATA 3 SSD. if you wanna go the cheaper performance route though; get a OCZ vertex 2.

that sucks. least you gave it a shot. why were you trying to install it anyways though?

I like LG G2x, even though I have never even touched an iphone or even macbook, I suspect I have much more freedom to tinker with my phone than I would if I had picked up an iphone. I can ssh into my phone to transfer files, free RDP app, ssh tunneler to route all my network traffic through a home server when downloading torrents.

 

Plus I've used google voice for a few years now and I'm pretty sure it didn't originally work on the iphone. The free text messaging and text messages/missed calls showing up in my email is extremely convenient for me. I don't get service very well in my apartment, but if Im connected to my wifi(which it always is). I can make and receive free calls using sipdroid and google voice. This also allows me to make and receive calls anywhere in the world as long as I'm connected to wifi

 

Just curious can I do any of this stuff with an Iphone? If so, is it also free?

unfortunately its $10 for the ssh app. i find it quite ridiculous myself , but honestly i am not as advanced as a lot of you guys when it comes to how i network my home pc's. heres the link to the app; http://itunes.apple....d287765826?mt=8.

thanks a lot of all your guys views on this its really been quite helpful. I'm quite the media nerd though. I mostly just play videogames when i come home from work and hang out with friends and my partner, so it really doesn't seem all that useful for me to have all those additional features.

When it comes to jail breaking though; i'm a hardware hacker and i don't think games are really worth what developers are pricing them at right now. Although i do pay for loads of games when they are really worth it (skyrim, oblivion, bf3, source engine games from valve, etc..) i can't really justify to myself buying a $60 game that is just a rehash of an older version of the same game *cough* CoD *cough*. Other then that though i love what a lot of quality developers and indy developers are doing with their games and i would be happy to buy from them. (ive bought the humble bundle 3 times for over $10, and minecraft 3 times for myself and friends.)

So i recently had the *cough* pleasure of chatting up my co-worker about the current handheld leading OS's. fanboy gonna fan. Needless to say right now the tech industry is big on Android. however the current leading consumer device is the iPhone. I have a iPhone 4S and i really do like it. it may not have the open source and expandability of the current Android phones; but it really does deliver some nice features. I have always found the music and video playback on iOS to be much more responsive and easier to use, not to mention it has the best current GPU in any phone right now (which i'm a fan of, because of some pretty decent games in the app store.) Siri is a nice touch and an interesting conversation starter but her current availability is gimped in Canada (no GPS directions of any kind .) Jail-breaking is also a factor, seeing as i can enjoy the delicious free apps to my hearts content . I hope i don't sound like too much of a consumer dip-shtick in this post. also i normally hate apple and their crappy Operating system, but their hardware is really nice (when i'm not over paying for it.)

i would love to read about peoples views on the OS's and which phone they currently have/ are thinking about getting.

So let me ask this again of yermother: Can you game on it?

I'm guessing no since hes running linux. unless of course he has wine installed *shudders*

I was getting crashes with it, but i recently upgraded to a newer mobo and it seemed to stop then. I think it does need the FW update i just haven't had the time to backup and update it.

AMD. I don't feel like supporting intel and nvidias coming monopoly.

Yeah no kidding, so Intel is going to buy Nvidia like AMD bought ATI?

 

I side with nVidia. I'm not a fanboy or anything, but ATI screwed me about 10 years ago on a RMA by sending back a lower tier model card. Haven't bought anything by them since.

 

Well ATI may have screwed ya but there are a ton of manufacturers that back there ATI based cards. EVGA, XFX, Powercolor, Visiontek etc all back up there stuff and have pretty good customer relations for this sort of issue.

 

HIS once sent me a card that was a 2 step up from mine. I had an ATI 9600xt and they sent me the 9800xt

 

MSI, Sapphire, Zotek, Gigabyte and ECS are known for giving people a much harder time. Now this is with a valid receipt for a new purchased card, not some eBay "hope it works" purchase.

FWIW, EVGA is Nvidia only. I'm on my third EVGA nvidia card and they are the primary reason I have stuck with Nvidia. EVGA's customer service is second to none.

 

But yeah, the "monopoly" comment is pretty funny considering AMD/ATI did it first.

Intel has been trying to push AMD off the market for years. i'm not the kind of person who really roots for the underdog but i have problem with the way intel runs their business. I admit that intel and nvidias products are far superior in performance right now. I'm really only supporting AMD because if Intel doesn't have a competitor to match prices with, computers are going to cost as much as they did 10 years ago. here's some interesting articles; http://www.anandtech...es-with-the-ftc http://www.anandtech.com/show/2873

i recently picked up a OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS 120GB and that thing goes like a bat outta' hell.

These two were spawn attacking, tking, and generally being a nuisance on the server tonight. dain bramage (also went by "Mr.Facist" or something) tked to much and was auto-banned. The other one was his partner (i belive his name was "smash" before.) was also tking but missed the autoban.

lots of tking on the terrorist side.

also we banned a wallhacker named "deitz". ill provide .dem's on request.
