  1. as the resident movespeed champion, i agree with this statement. ap jarvan NEEDS MORE RATIOS! no one can escape my epic-ness.
  2. wormholes require decent skills to make any isk. if you want to fly with my corp, we're a newbie-friendly lowsec corp with a decent high-sec presence as well. we do a bunch of pvp in lowsec in the area, and newer people mission and mine close by. we're based near teonusude. if you want to give us a shot, shoot me an evemail at username 'wingmate' and i'll accept your corp application =)
  3. i have to admit, playing with everyone a lot has allowed me to dig into characters i don't get to play often, and that's fun. i like that yorick's back to being a good champ again, and that characters like kayle and others are still successful champs. now they just need to fix treebeard and things will be as they should be.
  4. being a guy that basically is the newbie resource in his corp, i'd be happy to answer questions if you've got them. i'm also a spreadsheet guru and can assist if you're not sure if something's profitable, or what you'd have to do to make it profitable. omega, do you have a corp or do you fly solo?
  5. haha, gp is le awesome lately it seems. the shiv is a really killer item on him.
  6. so far i've done jax, zil, alistar (troll game), and janna in all for one. it's pretty much hilarious. i won as jax and janna (janna was against five tarics...SOOO boring for the early game) and lost the other two. super fun.
  7. i'm thinking about selling my current cpu and motherboard, and upgrading to a newer model. not an issue with my current set, but i want to try a low-power gaming setup and would need to sell my current stuff first. i could sell the components or incorporate them into a new computer. specifically, i've got an i5-760 (2.8ghz, quad core) and a gigabyte p55a-ud3. the i5 was slightly overclocked for about a month of minimal usage, but other than that they're stock and have been in a loving home since i got them. edit: looks like the going rate around the web is between 125-150$ for both the motherboard and the CPU. combined with some ram, a case, a decent PSU, and a good graphics card, you could have a nice gaming machine for under 475$ in parts pretty easily - especially with black friday deals. if there's interest i'll work up a quote.
  8. currently a similar build would go for roughly 1750 or so from me, depending on sales and the like. step down to a really nice quad-core instead of a hexacore and it'll be in the 1450 range i think. it's mostly CPU and ram, not a ton of vga honestly.
  9. i don't believe i do, unfortunately. i rarely keep build pics much longer than it takes to send to my salivating public. EDIT: PUBLIC IS NOT SPELLED PUBIC
  10. it was a coincidence. also, no, i don't lose weight often =)
  11. new build pictures! so, someone bought a new system from me and said it was ok for me to talk about their build on the forums (a rarity lately). it was XPRTNovice! so we talked about the system quite a bit. he wanted a mondo system for music composition and recording, but it didn't have to be that big on the graphics side. we wound up going with the i7-4930K for the processor (3.4ghz, 6 cores, hyperthreading), 16gb of DDR3-2400 RAM, and a 7770 for the graphics card - tons of headroom for synths and samples, but not a ton of graphics performance beyond some basic gaming. this was my first ivy bridge-e =) which was super fun. i've not worked with the LGA 2011 socket before and it's freaking huge. pretty cool. the socket's got built-in aftermarket cooling holes, which is neat, since it means no backplate for the CPU cooler. in this case, we went with the H55 self-contained watercooling unit by corsair. quite functional - it kept a 4.2ghz overclock on a notoriously finicky and hot CPU (for intel, that is) to ~50c under load to all 12 cores. if i replaced the fan with a really top-notch 37.5mm width one instead of the 25mm one that the fan came with, i bet it'd do even better. regarding performance: i got the system clocked very stably at 4.2ghz with all 6 cores and turbo mode enabled, and the ram at DDR3-2166 11-13-13-21. i got it up to 4.5 and DDR3-2400 13-13-13-25, but IMO the ram wasn't stable enough at those timings, and i didn't like that particular set as much as how it performed at 11-13-13. i think that the RAM performance is honestly the same at those two, but it's more stable at 2166 since it still has headroom to be thrashed and not freak out. the processor heat spiked a lot at 4.5 so that's why i dropped it down to 4.2. this should be able to be comfortable in a hot room and likely won't even push 60c in a hotbox. i am super comfortable with that. it's also quiet as a mouse - the only thing that's loud is the little fan over the southbridge on the motherboard. i clocked that way down as i never saw the heat on that go anywhere, even when i tested the hard drives really hard. since there's nothing in the PCIs i doubt that'll get hot anyways. anyways, pictures! yes, that's a yoga mat. fantastic way to keep stuff off of a table when you're working. cpu: i7-4930K - *drool* cpu cooler: corsair h55 - easy to install, fits on everything. darn nice for a watercooling rig and we got a good price on it. mobo: asrock extreme6 - one of the cheapest LGA2011 boards (at over 200$!), and i think it showed. no network BIOS update, no dual bios, annoying drivers, and some minor incompatibilities i had to work around with w7 x64. in terms of performance it's been rock solid, and the measurable are quite nice, but i didn't like the backend support much. also, the boot is weird - it doesn't initialize the screen until very late in the process, so you get like 1 second to push the button to go into the bios. my screen doesn't initialize quickly so i missed it like five times in a row until i put a 5s pause on boot there. psu: corsair cx600 - one of the best 600w PSUs out there. this one had even better ripple and max load than i've previously seen, so i think they did an internal refresh or something. HDDs: crucial m500 240gb and seagate 2tb SSHD. both are stupid fast. i am particularly impressed with the SSHD. RAM: gskill ripjaw x 2400 - pretty good ram for the price. it isn't quite as stable at 2400 as i'd want it to be, but for the price it is killer 2166 ram that just lights it up. case: Storm Scout 2 - love it even more than i loved the first version. axxxxion shot. you can see the business end of the Storm Scout 2 case here - it's a fantastic case and definitely one i'm using in the future. the handle's this gorgeous rubberized material with a solid steel core, and the whole case has these tiny updates to the original storm scout chassis that just make it so nice to work with. my favorite update was a little cutout over the top left of the motherboard that allows for easy threading of the P4 connector to the power connector on the top of the mobo. on the old storm scout that was always a tight squeeze. here's the setup without the back on. honestly i had a bit more trouble hiding wires because of the increased modularity of the case - there's supports where there wasn't before to allow the entire middle HDD cage to be removed for support for extra-long graphics cards or a custom raid HDD setup. this would be cool if it didn't block a lot of the cabling shortcuts i used to do. so it's a bit messier than my best with the old storm scout, but i did like 20 builds in that one and this is my first here. i am sure i'll get more used to it over time. there's a better picture.
  12. haha, play with me sometime, i can usually be cool but i get going sometimes =)
  13. hey, why the heck not? i headed up two albums and have been around a while. i have many leather-bound books. as of a few years ago i think avaris and i were fighting for the most rejections in site history you can contact me via PM, since my pointless ruminations are probably totally relevant to OCR as a whole.
  14. is there interest in me doing a christmas sale of some sort? would people be into that?
  15. had my first no-death game on aram last night. started chalice, amp tome, and health pot on lux. at first the team was telling me to suicide, but after it was like 6-0-20 they started to get into it. most epic save was a combo of janna shield and ult when i was taking autoattack and poison damage from twitch - she ulted me with 2hp and 2 ticks of poison left to keep me alive =) i wound up going 11-0-34 with 8550 gold when the game ended. super fun!
  16. haha, yeah. i tend to 'coach' because as a jungle i'm usually looking at the lanes to see trends and locations, but ryan's much more measured than i am when it comes to risks =)
  17. when i worked at gamecrazy, i literally called everyone "you". there was no discrimination, i was post-names and post-gender while at work.
  18. so, accept it and make it a part of your core being. kanthos, this is done.
  19. hey, one of my favorite mixers! you should play with me if you're on NA =)
  20. motherboards aren't exactly something you want to replace if you're not familiar with computers, and you'd have to replace yours.
  21. haha, yeah, DDR2 = you need new memory as well with a cpu and mobo upgrade. figure 200$ for a decent quad core, 100$ or so for the motherboard, and between 10-15$ per gig of RAM (when you're getting 4gb or more).
  22. download and run cpu-z. no install required. tell us the type of RAM you've got installed, since i cbb to look up what that cpu's motherboard's requirements are. also, lol@12gb page file
  23. i'd want to see everything before i declared anything, but you'd probably be looking at an upgrade on your cpu and mobo (possibly ram) depending on what you've got. one other question - how old is your PSU, and do you run it 24/7 or just when you use it?
