I want to live,

I want to give

I've been a miner

for a heart of gold.

It's these expressions

I never give

That keep me searching

for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.

Keeps me searching

for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.

I've been to Hollywood

I've been to Redwood

I crossed the ocean

for a heart of gold

I've been in my mind,

it's such a fine line

That keeps me searching

for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.

Keeps me searching

for a heart of gold

And I'm getting old.

Keep me searching

for a heart of gold

You keep me searching

for a heart of gold

And I'm growing old.

I've been a miner

for a heart of gold.

Drinking a screwdriver, and deciding that it would be better to see what the hardware is in the laptops before I start them up... That way I know if there is anything that will slow down the boot...

Rage. Keeps crashing though...

(yup, that's right... My laptop has been on for 3 days, and there is nothing in my clipboard)

Yeah, torrent them both, and decide which you prefer. If you decide you like it enough, buy it.

Right now I'm trying to decide if I want to disassemble some laptops to see if their hardware is good, or just plug them in and see what happens.

Try using heavy weapons when you start getting in those situations... Nothing more frustrating for a professional camper than getting a 'nade to the face, especially from someone he/she can't see.

Hi.

Battlefield 4. But then I got mad. And then I started yelling. And then I quit. I don't get how I was so good at 3 and so shitty at 4.

4 is completely different in the way everything is done... It's actually easier for cheats right now. If you get someone repeatedly shooting you around corners or through walls, that's probly a hacker. Part of why I didn't get BF4 when I was in the Beta group for it.

 

I think another part is that in BF3, you didn't die as quickly and There wasn't cover every five feet that someone could sit behind and camp. I tend to have an aggressive playstyle, which works in BF3, as there were limited hiding spots for other players to ambush you from. In BF4, it's like every corner you turn there's 7 different places to get shot from. It encourages a lot of camping, which I despise.

They were going for realism, not camping removal. Camping is a real world tactic that wins wars.

So would've I.

I'd like to recommend the old DOS game "Stellar 7".

I used to play the Apple version... Loved the music. Hated the die and restart the game from the beginning part. You should look into getting one of the older Apple emulators. (I lost the one I used, but it was a perfect emulator)

Well I'm mostly focusing on low-res games right now, because I don't have enough faith in my system to do real-time recording at higher resolutions. I think the main thing I need is a SSD for that, once I have one I plan to expand into later games as well.

If you have a higher amount of RAM in your system, you might want to try using a RAMdisk. (emulating an SSD by using system RAM, then copy from the temporary RAMdisk to your HDD)

Diablo 3 - I heard many people say it's not good, but I was a huge fan of Diablo 1, so I'm still curious

Stick to D1 or D2... D3 is completely different, and requires an internet connection to play if you don't pirate it. (unless they changed it recently)
