  1. Sounds like an interesting game... Make sure the player can customize the weapons, (different sights, barrel-mounted accessories, under-barrel launchers, etc.) and his/her armor. (several helmet types that variably decrease the damage taken by headshots, vest soft and hard armor, full body armors, etc.)
  2. It's remarkably easy to do thermal paste/grease properly, and if it's using a thermal pad (like 95% of laptop manufacturers use) even a piss-poor job will provide better cooling. (I know this from decades of experience) I only recommend it for laptops because they tend to have thermal pads, if they defaulted to paste/grease instead, then I still would. Old/dried grease/paste can significantly hinder thermal conductivity. (unless it's one of the higher-end ones, the kind that manufacturers will never use by default) The exact process for replacing the thermal paste/grease on a laptop: ***Note*** If some thermal paste goes over the edge of the chip, that's OK, so long as you are using electrically non-conductive paste. (like the one I recommended) Otherwise, make sure to clean it up VERY thoroughly! 1. Look up a disassembly video on youtube for your laptop brand & model, and follow it's directions EXACTLY. Do not pass the point where you can extract the heatsink in the disassembly. - 1a. If you can't find a video, take the screws out, and place them on a piece of paper in the same location you took them out. Do this for as many layers as needed. Typically you will have to remove the keyboard to get to one or more screws that are necessary to remove to fully disassemble the laptop. - 1b. If you can't find any online help, and want an experienced person to walk you through it, hit me up on Steam. 2. Remove the heatsink. 3. Using paper towel, and 90% or higher rubbing alcohol, remove all original thermal pastes/greases/pads, and clean all surfaces they previously contacted. (both on the mirror-like surface of the chip, and the heatsink) 4. Place a drop of thermal paste, approximately the size of a grain of rice on both the CPU and the GPU. (I doubt you have a split heatsink, as they are rare, and are pretty exclusive to the extremely high-end) 5. Reattach the heatsink in the the same way it came off, then remove it again. 6. If the thermal paste appears to have been squished and cover a much larger area, proceed to step 6b. - 6a. If the thermal paste does not appear squished, or only slightly squished, that means that the laptop was designed with a gap there, and you will need to put about 5-7 times the amount of paste as you initially did. Clean the chip like in step 3, then apply the larger amount of paste. Try to make it a single glob in the very middle of the chip surface, and reattach the heatsink. - 6b. Perform steps 3 & 4 again, reattach the heatsink, then proceed to step 7. 7. Reassemble the laptop in the exact reverse of how you took it apart. 8. Turn on the computer and check the GPU idle temperatures to compare to before. It's all right if the temps look the same or maybe even a little higher, as it can take up to 48 hours of constant use to fully set the paste. 9. If the temp is the same or lower, run something taxing to see if the GPU temp gets as high as it used to. If it doesn't, good. If it does, leave the laptop on for 48 hours, use it normally, and check the temps then. 10. In the rare case that temps increase, you may need to apply the paste again. If you don't feel safe spending $15 and doing it yourself, you are welcome to take it to a computer repair shop, but be prepared to spend $50 or more in addition to the cost of whatever thermal paste/grease they choose to apply.
  3. Has pirates in it. Steal This Film.
  4. I would recommend putting it at between 12 and 16GB... (just don't let it auto-adjust)
  5. I still dream about nuclear war.
  6. Eh, I'm a schizoid schizotypal dude, who's too laid back to have any issues with it.
  7. That's only what we think... But don't worry, we don't care what others think.
  8. Meat is best! OT: I feel like this... oiJTQwK4iOI
  9. Then it's not that bad... Periodic BPD isn't bad.
  10. Here's a tip, start telling him that you dreamed this day and already know it's outcome, so you don't need to bother talking to him... Then try to take a nap on the couch. Possibly hum this... Ahqu1nd3Zu8 Actually, just start watching the whole of the movie on some portable device... lol
  11. PIZZA IS NOT JUNK FOOD!!! It is a complete meal in a single item! It has bread, spices, fruits, vegetables, dairy, and usually meat. Junk food is just about the furthest thing from pizza there is! Feeling good after eating some meatlovers pizza from Pizza Hut, and tired because my sleep schedule doesn't exist.
  12. I certainly hope not, as it's about BPD... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borderline_personality_disorder Interesting, the GPU is the only thing holding back my system. (everything else should be able to run any modern game at 60FPS easy, and I'm using a laptop)
  13. Bass ackwards buddy.
  14. Did a little Battlefield 3... I had many hackusations from spawncampers. (I'm ranked #3419 globally for skill, that's top 2% of all players that aren't banned, so not surprising)
  15. I heard asian arms, though less meat, tend to be tasty as well...
  16. There are many issues with most vaccines... Tuberculosis can sometimes be caused by it's vaccine in healthy people. Same for some types of hepatitis vaccines. The problem lies in the government being the ones to control it, instead of the individuals or their parents.
  17. Is very weird in a funny way. A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum.
  18. I'll take B please. What did I win?
  19. The leg has to be from a chicken, and has to be fried as well. (no bloody stumps at my door!) The arm can come from anywhere, just make sure it's frozen at 3°k or lower.
  20. No biggie... It's the self-sufficient side of me that finds it annoying having to answer some stuff that's very easy to find out repeatedly, so no issue until the 4th or 5th person asks.
  21. Who is this insane person you're always talking with? Oh wait... That's me... But then who is that other guy? Me too? How did that happen?
  22. I have to say, I don't plan on vaccinating even close to what any government would want. I refuse to get the flu vaccines for many logical reasons, as well as other vaccines, so technically I am an anti-vaxer... I wouldn't want my income cut because I disagree with the government's opinion of what I should do for my own, or my children's healthcare. (especially since I do more research into the issues and covered diseases concerning vaccines than governments usually do) It really just boils down to the government trying to control people, and limit their choices and freedom. (both of which I am vehemently against)
  23. Has a V in the title. V for Vendetta.
  24. Arrr me mateys...
  25. Is a Muppets movie. The Muppets Take Manhattan.
