Feb 24, 2008, 3:00:03PM, Buying a new machine next month..

I recommend a site such as www.ncix.com where you can build a computer online and they test it a bunch and put it together. I recommend sticking two 8800 GT's in SLI. The ATI Radeon 3870X2 is also nice. It's 30% faster than nVidia's 8800 GTX.

Building a computer is simple, as long as you are careful and have some basic knowledge (i.e you know to ground yourself before touching parts, etc). I built one last week and put it together. Everything worked except the floppy because the cable was upside down.

Never buy a pre-built at a large store such as Future Shop, Best Buy or w/e. I spent $2500 on a computer that came with a crappy graphics card. 2GB of DDR2 or even DDR3 Ram should do you good. Don't try and save money by getting a crappy graphics card. Also, I recommend a Killer NIC Network card for extreme networkular (that's not a word) capacity. Anyways, Good luck. I suggest after picking your parts posting the list in the Hardware n' Software section on www.purepwnage.com Most of the people there have loads of computer knowledge, namely the mods. I always ask questions there. Ask if the parts are compatible and everything, or if anything, ask for their recommendations. They respond fairly quickly and are very knowledgeable.

Good luck, Don't strip the screws, and be firm but gentle. (If you are building).

dont talk plz. this hurts my head.

www.newegg.com

if you want to build a machine for 2 grand i could put you together some shit that would rape.

Eating right and a little exercise would help with those headaches. /thumbsup By the way... newegg does not always have the best deals around. "NT" though.

Feb 22, 2008, 2:55:49PM, How did you find pwned.com????

Hmmmm.... I was actually going to view the www.pwned.nl site again. I typed in .com instead of .nl and found it that way. :D

I don't know. I'm still waiting for a reply back....

Feb 20, 2008, 7:51:32PM, Starcraft

I am extremely excited about this game. I loved SC/BW back in the day.

Feb 18, 2008, 5:50:03PM, N00B Clan Question

Hmmm....how do you join a clan? lol I know...it's a noob question. I only have the option to create, but not join.

I started out with the MoH:AA...was a great game. Took some decent skill while the bolt rifle.

Feb 18, 2008, 5:40:35PM, Jack In The Box

Good ole Cajun food > any fast food. :D

Feb 18, 2008, 5:38:42PM, WoW

Old school Star Wars Galaxies is the best MMO ever. To bad SOE ruined it.

Feb 18, 2008, 5:29:30PM, CONTEST WINNERS UNITE!

Yea, I would like to know too. :D

Feb 18, 2008, 5:26:48PM, Nasty CoD4 shot

That is a wicked ass shot. I'm not all that great at CoD4, but it is a great game from my perspective :]

Yea, it's a ok game. I miss the original vcod though.

He says it was not staged. It's nice either way.

Feb 18, 2008, 1:26:39PM, Americas Army

hell yea, AA is what I mostly play. They just had a update that came out a week ago or so. It was a good update and if you turned away because of all the flashing well they weakened them now. So, you wont be flashed for 13 seconds anymore. Also, they fixed a good handful of the glitches. The only thing I hate is the small community. My team is in the invite division and there is only like 10 teams in it... And the main division isn't much bigger.. Which is smaller then most other games.

Icenine Gaming AA team representing! lol

Feb 17, 2008, 8:02:23PM, Indiana Jones Trailer

Looks pretty good. But, considering it's Indiana Jones with Harrison Ford and all the other movies have never been bad, this one looks like another win :]

I hope so. I will be disappointed if it's not.

Feb 17, 2008, 1:22:00PM, Rate the last movie you saw

AvP:R (7/10) This was better than the first AvP. I want to see aliens vs predator. Not humans vs aliens or vs predator. The all out epic battle between aliens vs predator is what generally most people want to see. This is why the first AvP was a failure.

I wonder how this will match up against the others?

Feb 15, 2008, 8:18:42PM, vcod video

This brings back memories.

Feb 14, 2008, 7:29:27PM, What game are you people digging the most right now?

CoD4...strictly for competition play.

Feb 13, 2008, 8:53:51PM, know if Any Cons Or big Lans are Going on??

uhhh omg I play both.
ut CAL for Cod4 i thought they just did Counter-Strike and stuff.

What? Are you kidding?

No, I'm not kidding I have not followed the Pro Gaming Circuit. But I'm trying to find out what is all about so sorry if i'm a noob or what not, but if thats a problem well then maybe you need to take a look at whats really important in your life other then just teasing people about what they do or don't know via online fights.

Its like yelling at some one threw a wall its pointless and yet all you do is waste energy. But if thats not the case and you are quote on quote trying to be a decent person, then maybe you will in-lighten me on what its all about.

I'm actually confused. Half of your post does not make any sense to me. Sorry if it should, but I may be reading something wrong. I didn't mean the "what? are you kidding?" to be anything mean. I'm just trying to piece together what you're trying to say. :D

Feb 11, 2008, 9:04:54PM, CPL Dead?

New update.
http://www.sk-gaming.com/content/15723-CPL_plays_down_removed_CAL_post

I noticed the message I had got from CAL was gone shortly after I posted here.

Feb 11, 2008, 6:49:42PM, CPL Dead?

This is taken from CAL.

"The CPL is dead. Finally actually dead as a tournament organization, not just "gg cpl == dead"-dead. For those that still care here's the story.

First off, a lot of this can't be verified. I'm sorry but I'm not posting logs or giving sources in order to protect people. Here's what can be verified;

Chris Moncivalles - CPLs League Commissioner, was fired around the 27th of January. He disappeared from the CPL staff page and people started asking questions. A few days later he was added back on the staff page as "Online Store Director". Promise you however, that's just to avoid questions, he's still fired and that's why he hasn't been responding to any of you.

Thomas Hollingsworth - CPLs IRC Manager dropped his tag a few days ago and disappeared off the CPL staff page. At which point we can somewhat assume he's no longer with the CPL anymore either.

Now, Micheal Allen will also be gone at the end of the month, he's the Global Tournament Director and as such his services won't be required by the CPL anymore because of the CPL likely not having any more tournaments after the world tour ends this month.

As it stands, this may not be the last you've heard of "the CPL" but it should be the last you've heard of "the CPL" in regards to gaming tournaments. The CPL may try to become an advisory company of sorts for video game companies. This should largely be read as an excuse to stay involved with Daikatana 2, or Severity, whichever name you find suiting. (Yes Romero, we haven't forgotten or forgiven that abomination of a game you threw at us). Plus they still have 1/2 of the stock of CPL mice to sell!

The CPL has been losing money (obviously) and after a buy-out from Play'nTrade failed because Angel didn't want to relocate, it was practically decided to end the CPL's run.

What this means for CAL is not a whole lot, CALs been told to keep doing its thing, however they might lose partnerships such as hosting which could become rather troublesome. And that's aside from staff that might bail and look for newer, better things. (Don't say CEVO, dealing with Angel is horrible, but dealing with Charlie Plitt is hell on earth).

Now until Angel crawls out and states something, things can change. You never know when some unfortunate company decides to sink money into gaming and runs into the CPL. This post/message was made mostly due to a complete communications break-down. Angel won't talk to anyone anymore about what's going to happen which leaves certain people stuck in limbo.
They can't say anything but they can't do anything either. As it stands the story is largely as I've just told it. I'm expecting this to finally lead to some kind of official response on the situation at hand from Angel.

I've said most of what I care to say, I won't be dealing with people directly contacting me regarding this. If people wish to discuss the matter there's a live online gaming talk show called Faces For Radio which should air tomorrow at 8pm EST and last for about 2 hours.
I'm not sure whether they'll welcome discussion on the subject or not, but if so I'll try to call in and respond to any questions anyone might ask there if the show allows such, please don't contact me otherwise. It's hosted by the same people that produce Epileptic Gaming, information on how to watch can be found at http://epilepticgaming.ggl.com/
