Schwaltzvald

Still play games as much as before. Just now though I watch much less cable TV and generally replaced the "TV time" with chores/family/personal life time. While most titles don't have that old "holyshit awesome!!" feel like games of yesteryear did, I do find the occasional gem that warms me up and brings back that joy. R-Type Final definatly gave me that Generally though I've recently been hooked to the strategy games (Fire Emblem/Front Mission DS&PS2/Advance Wars et cetera)

I wanted to have fun on a nick name I was dubbed by my friends and changed it to "Schwaltzvald". I still talk to these same friends and even use the nickname in public when it comes to them or even family whom have accepted as a name for me.

Here's something I'm super-pissed about and its not even about SSBB... http://www.tv.com/story/10705.html In short, Oprah's gonna git Discovery Health killed off... One of the few channels I'd ever watch on TV is now relegated to this garbage... Business-wise, it's a smart move considering her huge fan-base. academically (for the few sections that are actually academic)... It's a travesty... >

Protip: Try the more older varieties such as snes, nes, sega genesis/megadrive, GBA(VBA), PSX(on the PC), N64 (not perfect but no better than the emulation used by the Wii) No need to buy xbox360/PS3/Wii if you're not satisified with the titles available on them, but do at least try older systems especially since a majority of them have incredible titles as well as readily available for emulation. Also you need to leave behind that myopic view that old stuff=shitsucks when it comes to games; in particularly console games... It's that kind of mentality that keeps you from enjoying alot of games especially when just about a majority of opinions on them come from gamers who've grown up along with the games (whether good or bad is up to you) and can agree they are as awesome when played for the first time. There's a huge variety of games that you can't just pass up simply because it's older than 2 or 3 years > without at least trying them before making an definitive thought/opinion...

Protip: The Mac AirBook's target consumer/audience are the "on-the-go" people. When I say "on-the-go" I'm refering to those that travel a whole lot through out the year. The thing has software that lets you "borrow" an optical drive there for making a preinstalled one nearly moot. If you need a flash drive, get the Time Capsule also by Apple Corp.... All that said... Fuck that shit I'd rather build a good cheap pc for general work purposes.

QFE & T~! Are you THAT hard pressed for Co-OP play..? The closest relatively good one I've played had been Sven CoOp on the PC. As far as Coop "puzzles" the only thing that comes to mind to me would be Residentl Evil Zero, and that's a Single Player game Give single player games on the consoles (via emulator or VC) a try, or are you THAT lonely you'd need Co-Op games that bad..?

You haven't seen them... SHAME on you for not seeing them before.... It's almost obligatory to have seen both, if not at least just seen either T2: Judgement Day or the original Terminator. >

I do a hell of a lot more than web/play games

One of the major reasons I've stuck with Intel since I've started building systems due experience as well as for their mobos being best known for stability. I never was big on overclocking anything... I may as well stick with Intel and probably go for the quadcore. thanks for the replies~!

I'm considering going for AMD this time around and would like recommendations on the CPU and Mobo along with memory sticks. I'm more familiar with Intel than AMD so the help would be appreciated... The type of system I'm aiming for would be either a high-end/mid-range gaming system. Also would it matter what vid card I put in it considering more often than not I've seen ATI gfx cards often paired up with AMD systems...

Despite how awesome it may be once released in theatres, it will soon go directly to dvd within a week or two... Just wait and see...

Currently living in the suburbs of Maryland, though have passed baltimore into New Jersey from time to time along with Virginia, New York and Wash. D.C.

From what reviews I've seen on that model, they're supposedly real small... is that the case..?

I used to be a prominent user of BitTornado but utorrent made things a whole lot more easier to manage my torrents. I use pidgen for basic AOL/MSN contacting. I use a combination of both mIRC and Mozilla's IRC plugin depending where I go. here are some programs no one mentioned... iZ-ARC - practically the ultimate compressing/decompressing proggy http://www.izarc.org/index.html Openoffice.org - in the case you don't have M$ Office (in particularly enterprise) it's an office suite that has compatability to a majority of M$ documents file types. Spyware Blaster - actually pretty good in blacklisting sites that are harmful such as those with keyloggers/spam etcetera.... AVG antivirus & spyware protection - does the job fine for me. Instead of windows XP's defragmenting program I use another defragging program that gives a much more detailed view on how fragmented my hard drives are.

Here's the pagepool memory trick. "FOR WINDOWS XP ONLY" --- --- --- Start Menu > Run > regedit Surf down to this key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management Double click on "PagedPoolSize". Hexadecimal is listed first. Change the "Value Data" to one of these below: (Note: You only need to enter EITHER Hexadecimal or Decimal. They both are the same.) Megabytes Hexadecimal Decimal 192Mb 0c000000 201326592 256Mb 10000000 268435456 384Mb 18000000 402653184 I went with the 384Mb option Once I was done I made sure to reboot my computer. --- --- --- Hope it helps~!

what are your system specs...? have you tried the pagememorypool trick..? Is your graphics card updated to the latest version of the drivers...? Have you updated your DirectX to the latest version..?

GOD DAMN MOTHERNWPINVPWRPH http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/law/12/20/mortal.kombat.ap/index.html I can only feel anger towards the murderer as well as that community which took one day too fucking long to realize something was seriously fucked up at that girl's home... There was another news link (I had it yet stupidly lost it) that mentioned the little gilr has given reports about her bruises from previous days and for some mindnumbing damn reason the cops didn't do shit nor did CPS... how fucked up is that!? NOT TO MENTION this is gonna give Jack Thompson with ammo.

If XZero is as accurate as he says about the cds, I'd probably have better stuff from my rare-mix hunting expeditions... I'll set up another zip later either today or tomorrow with different stuff megadave.

I actually made it a habit to download all the mp3s from those gems/flash flicks. I'll post some links to them as soon as I have them put together

I call bullshit... No way... Have they finally made serious progress..?!

That's the beauty of the heist, element of surprise; especially if the one pulling said heist knows what he/she is doing. Doesn't hurt to make sure one is prepare to take on a powerful force, be it the police or the mob.

If you're refering to the bank robbery scene when you say "7 min prologue", I've seen in just recently. If anything Joker there seemed just as sane as any other would be criminal. Why share the wealth to expendable henchmen when you can get rid of them once they lost their usefulness and purpose for a crime? Less people to talk the better to get away with it; plus a school bus is pretty sturdy and is not as likely to be suspected of carrying stolen money believe it or not. I'd say this version is more methodical and just tries to have fun doing whatever he's gonna do.

If you ever meet or see a guy with "{GCC}Setzer Gambiani" on TF2 as his name that'd be me. I'm usually the Heavy that's mowing down the enemy team or beating the shit outa some one with fists. I also play EVE Online but lately I'm just preparing my resources more so than joining gangs on expeditions/mass mining camp/war decking The extra rules pretty much ruined MTG as well as the prices to even upkeep your decks as new stuff come in...

Was into it from the beginning up to the Ice Age way back in midschool with the few friends that played it; it just got too expensive and where I was comfortable where I was. Bailed soon after Ice Age,
