Mysterious Stranger

Update your video card drivers... I've had this problem before in Counter-Strike Source and that did the trick for me. That is... if you're still having the prob...

What's a haircut?

Enders: My ingame name is Mysterious Stranger Wheat Bun On Swiss: Eve Online is $14.95 US a month, but the developers allow you to buy game timecards from other players with ingame currency on their forums. 100 million ingame currency per 30 days roughly. I haven't paid for Eve with my credit card since early Spring.

I play Eve Online. Played it for 2.5 years. It's the only MMORPG I've played and kept playing, the others just get too repetative and I cancel my subscription within a month. It's unique in the fact that there's a lot you can do in the game. Recently there was a huge scam in the game that earned the player 790 billion isk. (Which if you converted it to cash via ebay is worth over $100,000... although that's against the EULA and would get you banned). The game is harsh to start out in, as money is required to do a lot of things. I played most of the game solo, which included me mining in 0.0 (most dangerous space in the game). I just joined a corporation that's part of an alliance, to try and get some pvp experience Definately a hard game to learn, but very unique as well. 5000 solarsystems and 30,000 people online in one universe makes it for a very neat game to play. The best part is the community. The game attracts those who have full time jobs or are not "hardcore gamers" due to their training system. You can be at work and learning skills just as effectively as someone who plays 10 hours a day. The community is much more mature than other gaming communities too, which is a welcome change. Nice job on the reviews though

Jagermeister and tequila tonight, resulted in good times You'll have to tell me the vodka story sometime

One word: Jagermeister! I love the stuff and it's my main drink... either straight up shots or mixed with pop. Now and then I'll make some Jagerbombs (Red Bull + Jager). Otherwise I'll drink vodka or rum mainly but am willing to try any type of hard alcohol. I can't say the same for beer though :thumbsup:

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests? If you strangle a smurf what color does it turn? People who can't see are blind and people who can't hear are deaf what do you call people who can't smell? Why is it called a T.V. set when there's only one? Why is it called alchoholics anonymous when the first thing you say is your name? Why are semi-trucks bigger than regular trucks? Why do they say an alarm clock is going OFF when it's really turning on? Why are boxing rings square? Why do drugstores make sick people walk all the way to the back of the store to buy their medicine while, healthy people can buy cigarettes in the front? Why is it that people point to their wrist when they want to know the time, but they don't point to their crotch to ask where the bathroom is? If anything is possible, is it possible that nothings possible? *runs away* /got nothing //just making a brief appearance

Damn heh, just do stuff you enjoy doing for the next lil bit. You'll pull through.

My room is a complete and utter mess atm so no desktop pics, but there's a couple pics of my case. Too bad some of the LED's have burnt out Even got a little lazy with the cables when I upgraded to my 64 bit cpu and mobo... maybe I'll clean up the cords when the ram comes in.

Yep, the only problem with Newegg is shipping to Canada for me. NCIX offers $10 overnight shipping from halfway across the country for me when it comes to small items.

Oh yeah, the EAX 4 mode simply rocks. I was never a fan of EAX with the origional Audigy but now that they've improved on it I love it in my games

I have to admit... I used my Z-5200's with my onboard AC'97 sound, but when it crapped out in September I didn't feel like doing the RMA thing so I just bought an Audigy 2. For gaming... WOW... I hear stuff I never really noticed before. I have a real good idea where footsteps are coming from in CS and other games. A small boost in FPS but nothing too considerable... just the sound difference was nice. Besides, the Audigy can kill my 100 Watt sub at night, even at the lowest setting my AC'97 couldn't do that to well.

Ah I saw that the other day. Although I wouldn't want people to think it was an oversized whistle or something

If you're into mil-sim you might want to check this out... http://www.ariakon.com/overlord.asp My friends have em and they're nice and accurate. A good backup. Might help you finish the round anyways Only get it if you really take care of your markers though, they aren't nearly as durable as tippmanns.

CDN Link: http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=9545&vpn=SAMSUNG3200-512M&manufacture=Samsung&promoid=1026 US Link: http://www.us.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=9545&vpn=SAMSUNG3200-512M&manufacture=Samsung&promoid=1026 512 megs of Samsung PC3200 @ 2.5-3-3-7 for $40 CDN or $34 US each. It may not be the fastest ram going, but I even picked up 2 sticks... hey... for $40 you can't go wrong. (Fast shipping options available ) Offer's only good till the end of today :/

Haha, I keep hearing it on radio stations (even the net streams)

I have the wired version Z-5200 or whatever. They simply rock and can be had for about $200 CDN these days. It's a 280 watt system (100 watts for the sub). Games, music and movies never sounded so great! I get lots of "wow"'s from my friends when they come over

But in reality, wouldn't you prefer the A-5 anyways? It's just... cooler /Has an A-5 as well and doesn't regret buying it

That's pretty cool. Stuff I'll never be able to do in my lifetime anyways

There's some quality medical care right there folks! But seriously... ouch :peace:

Hey, what can I say? I wouldn't be Mysterious if I didn't hide in the shadows But yea, I'm still kickin! I'm free till like Jan 5th

Looks like the trick is to write your letter as soon as possible... or use email :peace:

Haha, nice drawing for in class... At least you pay attention in class... I'm now in 3rd year university and I've yet to pay attention to one full lecture. I spent last week playing Eve Online and looking at paintball guns on the net (then I finally bought one)... or chatting on msn... Ahhhh... the joys of laptops!

Well Windows Update works well for me... while purusing through the Add-On's loaded into IE I saw something called Windows Genuine Advantage that was enabled. Knowing full well it was a virus/spyware of some sort I disabled this addon. I was also able to download the new updates that were released earlier this week on Windows Update. It's good to know that Microsoft likes the fact that I take the pre-emptive step towards protecting myself from 3rd party plugin's that act like they're from Microsoft... even if Microsoft does refer to them on their homepage. None the less... I've yet to discover why I cannot download Microsoft Anti-Spyware... looks like they rigged that one up a little better...

I KNEW IT!
