  1. That's about as good a way to start an art collection as there can be. Congrats on the cool personal piece!!
  2. I remember saying congratulations to someone on their birthday before I ever heard of the internet...that count?

    Let's not go there again....I've heard this argued on about every show on radio and tv today.

    Besides, a new decade begins every year, so nyahh.
  4. I've decided I'm going to start going backwards again, and then hold when I get to a year I like.

    WHY DO GUYZ PLAY GIRL TOONZ??!!

    Several reasons:

    1. Much better costume selection.
    2. I seem to come up with interesting names and/or concepts that sound more fittingly female than male.
    3. Better view, if you have to watch something waggle in your face for hours on end.
    4. Because I am secure enough in my masculinity that it doesn't matter.
    5. Fishnets.
  6. Good luck on this! If you wish to draw any of mine, I have screenies for several on my DA page linked below.

    The main thing to remember is to always take the Last Train to Clarksville.

    (the kids will actually have to look this up to get it. )

    Your mind is a scary place.
  10. Question - is there any need to keep the "S" macro button after you have the powers/costume ones in the tray?
  11. Good processor, good RAM, good vid card - you should be set to go for Ultra, as far as we know at this point. Until then you'll have to tweak down some settings, since the game currently isn't as ATI friendly as it is with NVidia. There are guides to settings here in this forum.

    I'd definitely save the drive from your current system as well...that's a nice drive.

    Free is good, and I'd take it at that price, for sure! Shouldn't be any real problems with it - just make sure the reservoir is full and circulate it before you get going to make sure there's no air trapped in the system.

    I wouldn't bother with the $160 for a bit faster processor...use that money to maybe upgrade to better or quieter fans or whatever, if you want - some times the stock fans aren't so good, and you'll still be pretty warm with that card and other stuff.


    Have fun with your new system!
  12. Looks awesome - looking forward to trying it out!

    Very nice! I like the 12th day - seems quite fitting.

  16. If I'm on, I'm game. Mondays are generally Infinity Kheldian SG nights, but other than that, just holler.

    BTW...Windows 7 is going to kill me until I get use to it.

    If you have a wireless router, those frequently come with one to direct connect in lieu of all wireless connectivity. I'm sure you've checked every box you have, but thought I'd toss that out, just in case you had one and were blinded in the excitement. I know I would be....and probably would be at Wal Mart or Best Buy if they were open.

    And here I remember when we were on a committee at work reviewing standards for our first computers having to do time tracking to show that we should go for the floppy plus 10 Meg HD instead of the dual floppy system, which I got to run testing on.

    Those were TerrorBytes.
