Bandodger or ALT Account and if ALT Account what is it because there is no way such a low level with a low post count would know these things.Blackbond

First, who said Bandodger? Maybe i deleted my old account, lost password, forgot email. Maybe i didn't like the name...how about Mr. Sirlock holmes stops playing detective? Check how long i've had this for..i made it many months ago.and never used it.

I still see the new-age people think post-count and level mean something.....what was there before levels huh? Remember that far? Probably not.

1) Play newly-bought games the instant you place them into the disk tray

2) Not require tune-ups

3) Not require opening the case up and spending FIVE GODDAMN HOURS trying to find out what piece of hardware is causing your newly-bought 8800GTS to overheat.

You ARE aware a GPU can function under 90c right? Do the math Mr. Wiz. That's 194 degrees F. I highly doubt your video card will get THAT hot. If it does, consider a house fire being the next surprise.

You use yours, amongst other's stupidity as a method of valid excuses. Too bad they're not even close or legit.

:lol: Wow, accusing other people of stupidity with a post like this.

Sure, it'll function. Too bad there seem to be symptoms of OVERHEATING (see; texture tearing) in my, according to you, perfectyl fine GPU.

You ARE aware that there are devices that automatically shut down the computer when EVERYTHING gets hot? Believe it or not, things that get hot tend to make the things around them, get this...get hot as well. This applies to things like, say, graphics cards as well. Isn't that fascinating? Truly, it is a wonder of this world.

Why don't we tone down the hostility as well, Mr. Grumpypants.

Ohh, and there's that 1% chance your car will over heat today ( if you even have a car)

What you're discussing is STUPID. Properly functioning hardware doesn't exceed 60c on CPU and 90c on GPU. Ram + mobo and anything else doesn't generate enough heat..unless it's high end, but if you have highend equipment, you're not a complete NOOB who doesn't know how to add a fan or two to keep it under control.

Fact. Consoles experience more over-heating and other like issues than PC's. And PC's out number consoles to a substantial margin. You have PC cooling problems...that has SOMETHING to say about your intelligence and general luck. Not a typical, or normal problem...that isn't easily fixable. Unlike a console, you give to the FedEx man and have it sent away for WEEKS. Fix the heat problem, buy a new $5 cooling fan. OOOOHHH NOES....$5?!?! WHAT WILL I DO WITH THE 5 DOLLARS I JUST SPENT?!

All of which discussions could be like the "Old" system wars days, where we dicussed how good games were, and what new developments were being made. Not this little school yard "My console is better than yours!" "My consoles games are selling better, so that automatically makes mine better..give me attention..i WANT ATTENTION NOW!" "This game got AAAA, therefore, this is the best console on the face of the planet" "Hi, my name is Bill, the wanna-be analyst, in Japan the 360 sells like complete crap..so basically, the PS3 wins...for some reason i'm not too sure why that matters to me, but i'll pretend to be smart and educated and just roll with it...P.s....i just passed 8th grade mathamatics and business courses .i'm now a professional"

"old" system war days? you're a level 5 with 32 posts. and no, i prefer console gaming. nothing against PC gamers, but that's just how i feel.

I was around LONG before you. The Lithium forum days. The educational and interesting topics. Then...the dawn of gamespot lowering it's ToS policy to 13 year old idiots. Keep it 18+ and credit card verified. :) ...that'd be my happy heaven.

sales determine the winner as much as software.

SW voted for "anarchy".

And WHAT exactly does 1st to 2nd place win? It's not like Microsoft will have to take Sony out on a date. At the end of the day, they're pocketing the money, and you're the fool paying $60 for games, and are also trying to pretend THEIR sales somehow HELP you. If they want their consoles to make money for themselves, they'll make good games reguardless.

People pirate console games.

Guess what magical device makes this possible? Yes, the PC. Free software to all, F in giant words, the billion dollar corps.

Guess what magical device makes console games in the first place.

PC's :)
