9 Out Of 10 Americans Are Completely Wrong About This Mind-Blowing Fact
VooDooPC replied to Mercman's topic in What's Up?
You're supposed to unionize so you can take advantage of the company you work for. Like GM paying people on the assembly line ~$25/hr to install door handles. -
Nvidia's ShadowPlay is pretty nice for streaming/recording if you have a card that supports it. Nvidia has a chip on their card for streaming over the network to their Nvidia Shield (the handheld thing), but they let you use it for streaming and recording. It does all the encoding stuff on that chip so it doesn't affect your game performance like FRAPs and other capture software does. You can set it to be always recording so you can kit a button and it saves your last 20 minutes of game play. It's pretty handy if you do something awesome and no one will believe you.

9 Out Of 10 Americans Are Completely Wrong About This Mind-Blowing Fact
VooDooPC replied to Mercman's topic in What's Up?
I love that click bait title. "9 out of 10 Americans are wrong about THIS MIND BLOWING FACT!" It might as well have been, "Justin Bieber does WHAT?" or "Man finds WHAT inside his bathroom?". Stupid internet. I highly doubt 9 out of 10 Americans are blind to the ridiculous amount of money corporate CEOs make. They might not know the exact numbers, but they know it's hell of a lot more than they should be making. -
DOTA 2 clone I think.

networking/wireless Modem/Router/Switch question.

Oh, fancy. Thank's for the list. -
networking/wireless Modem/Router/Switch question.
VooDooPC replied to VooDooPC's topic in Tech Reviews, Support and PC Builds
Okay, so I definitely need to go Modem->Router->Switch. What's a good router that doesn't cost $241.99? It doesn't have to be wireless and it doesn't need many ports because it will just be a middle man between the modem and the switch. -

Can't you connect the switch directly to the modem instead of the router. Using your setup, if one of your computer from the switch is communicating with a computer like a printer or shared drive connecting to the router or one of the computer connecting to the router uses the internet bandwidth heavily, you will be throttling the bandwidth. In addition, home router is not built for 5+ connection. Router is not a 1 to 1 throughput so there will be an additional delay. And no, router is not required for switch setup. That second part is the part I'm trying to figure out. The modem we have right now is a modem/router combo. So I can't test connecting a modem directly to the switch. But now I'm getting conflicting reports from this topic. -

If I was spending almost $250 why would I just not get this 10/100/1000 one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA0AT1868816 -
networking/wireless Modem/Router/Switch question.
VooDooPC replied to VooDooPC's topic in Tech Reviews, Support and PC Builds
We need about 10 wired connections. Most of the wireless routers I see have about 6, at most. "All users" is actually just two. The computers and other devices won't all be actively using the network at the same time. The devices are four PCs, two Roku boxes, TV, Xbox, Playstation, a WD MyCloud, and some other things. The MyCloud is a large reason I would like a 1gb speeds, being able to stream 1080p movies or installing/copying software directly from the device as fast as possible through the network. I do not have a cactus, but I do have a pachira. -

I'm reading it, but I'm not seeing the numbers 10, 100, or 1000 anywhere. Edit: I see, it's on the page before the one you linked. I wonder what year that thing is from. We already have a 1000mbps network. I'm just trying to figure out of a 10/100 router will affect the 10/100/1000 switch. We are getting new internet. 90mbps from Bright House. We want to buy our own modem, then split the connection over around 10 wired devices and 5 or so wireless devices. Right now we have 24mbps from Uverse, the modem provided is a modem/router combo thing. So we have the modem/router with 4 ports, then that goes to a 10/100/1000 wireless router that has more wired ports. With the faster internet we want to go from the modem, to a router (I guess it's required), then to a 15 port switch. One of the ports on the switch will have a wireless access point. That is the plan anyway. With 90mbps internet I wanted the network to be 1000mbps, I feel like having a 100mbps network is really close to 90mbps and might cause issues while downloading and trying to do network stuff at the same time. Right now our network is already 1000mbps. I would like it to stay that way if I can. Does getting a 10/100 router attached to a 10/100/1000 switch put any limit on the network? -
networking/wireless Modem/Router/Switch question.

Another question. Does the router have to be 10/100/1000 AND the switch 10/100/1000 or can only the switch be 10/100/1000? Looking around online most of the routers I saw were only 10/100. The 10/100/1000 ones were like $200-$700 and there were very few. Right now we have a router/modem combo thing and the router part is 10/100/1000, but we are switching ISPs and going to get a stand alone modem. -

That sounds like the PC would always have to be on, which I won't think would work for me. -
Can you go Modem->Switch or does it have to be Modem->Router->Switch? This just for a home network. The modem would be plugged into the switch. The switch would have all wired electronics plugged into it. The switch would also have a wireless hotspot thinger. Is a router required in there somewhere for this to work?

Dont Play G-Mod (Or other Valve Games for Awhile), Virus Potential
VooDooPC replied to ValenAlvern's topic in What's Up?
I think the real question is, why would anyone want to play a Valve game? -
Yes. And sums up why I own it but don't play it.

I played some of the beta and my brother bought the full game. So I played some live also. Feels like an MMORPG... kind of. To me it feels like it's somewhere in between a standard MMORPG of pressing number keys for abilities and a proper Elder Scrolls game. Which I guess is what they are going for, but it doesn't feel enough like a proper Elder Scrolls game. Having played the Elder Scrolls games since Morrowind the MMORPG part is the part holding it back, which sucks because that's what the point of them making the game. I didn't think I'd like it from the start and I was right after having played it. I would have preferred something like Destiny, Borderlands, or The Division gameplay. A small group of people in a full fledged Skyrim like world, with all the real time physics and real time combat, not an MMORPG half-breed. Destiny and The Division also have a MMOG feeling because you can run into other groups of players while running around in your group. That's how I would have wanted this game to go.

Yeah, I have to hyper-fast scroll to the bottom so I can type "TL:DR". Right now I have a G700 and it's been great. I have one of the Logitech mouse pads that are the tuned surfaces, or whatever they are called. Maybe I'll buy the G502 when it's on sale. -
