Back when Vista came out, in a fit of anger at Bill gates, and more than just a bit of sarcastic humor, I labeled my sig as Windows __ Bill Gates Signature edition. Imagine my surprise at having seen on the newspaper a actualy Bill Gates Edition of Windows Vista Ultimate. I'm not lying. How cool is that. I'm a regular prophet. SOund off if you've seen my Windows Sig, just to prove I'm not lying..=)

W00t. yay!. I finally hit 1000posts on gamespot! Shweeet!

 

=D 

Actually I knew that already, but now I'm just pissed off. It was my case XION 450w with a 18A 12V rail. I installed my 7900GS, but after booting (with super low res), my computer won't stop rebooting after 4-6 seconds of logging in. My power supply is weak, but surely it can at least RUN the 7900GS at a less than optimal power, right? You guys really should help me before I either 1. Go insane-r 2. spend a lot of money on a PSU that might not even be the problem...

Btw, sometimes the computer makes a quick low pitched beep, yet I can't find what the beep code it...

Ayudanme!

My x850xt isn't cutting it (the cheese) anymore. It's (relatively) slow and (relatively) old. Can't play Rainbow Six Vegas, and Oblivion, not too well. I'm intrigued by eVGA's 90 Step up program, so that the card I buy can be traded up with the price difference. That would allow me to buy a DX10 card without worrying about the card depreciation. However, I'm still stumped on what to buy. Should I get a mid-range card like the 7600GT which is similar to my x850xt, and get a 8900GS, or something like that? or a 7900GS now, and a 8900GS later. I need to pick soon, as I don't want the x850xt depreciating in value anymore...
btw, does ATi have a trade up program?

begin to type in more complete sentences. I also have begun to start my sentences with capital letters.

but dude, like..the 8800GTS is the best card, and it pwns the 7950gt in fear by 12 fps.

to...

The 8800GTS is a better card than the 7950GT, it plays games with better FPS.

Yay. I'm so proud of myself =).

GAMERS HAVE NO LIVES, ARE ANTI-SOCIAL, DANGEROUS, AND AMOUNT TO NOTHING!
im jk. but my teacher isnt.
i know the "video games are bad for you" has already been beaten to death by our dear and loving senators, but today in english, i witnessed possibly the most bigoted persuasive speech ever. My teacher was "teaching" us about counter-arguements and presenting both sides of an issue. She decided to give us two handouts with essays on them. One "supported" the anti-video game side. The other article...also supported it. How exactly is that presenting both sides of an issue? Context aside, the articles were well written, but the support for it was not in context. The most common support/reason/detail/fact was that video games increase agression, because a scientist saw the brain grow... Then the teacher decided it was time for her to add her 2 cents in and liberate her vulnerable students from the negative influence of video games. In her 25 minute rant and discussion time, my teacher asserted that gamers:

-had no life, because they constantly sit in front of their computer and play violent computer games like doom (excuse me, i would like to add that GTA is also violent)
-were violent and aggressive because of these video games
-because of the apparent aggression, gamers have a negative relationship with their family.
-gamer's hack into the internet and steal money and identities.
-are obsessed with computer parts, and therefore are broke
-which can lead to criminal behavior
-they also do bad in school
-other things that cannot be mentioned in our brotherhood of gamers.

So basically, her thesis is the title.

Discussion time was limited to us only being allowed to support her rant. When i attempted to refute her points, i was labeled as a gamer. Sigh, im half expecting to be called a terrorist tomorrow.

1. Gamers do have a life. I am in a band, i practice 3x a week. I go to church on Sundays, and i do not hang out in front of internet cafes.
2. Im actually rather mellow, and calm. I try to analyze things in a logical way before voicing my opinion
3. I have a good relationship with my family, my grandparents come over every year, and we spend the summer watching baseball games, or going to see the Sacramento Rivercats. (04 CHAMPS!)
4. I have no idea how to hack, yet the real term is "crack", not hack
5. I enjoy upgrading my computer, how is it any different from a hobby in liking fast cars, and working on your car on a Saturday
6. I have never been arrested, nor am I in any lack of money. I work at Carl's Jr.
7. I have a 4.25 GPA

sigh, again...
are there really people so misinformed and bigoted in America?

this happen to you guys? ever seen it? tell me about it. >.
