  1. I just put together a new system and everything is going great with one possible exception - one core of the CPU is running about 5-10C hotter than the other. Does anyone know if this is a major issue or could I ignore it for the time being? EDIT: For instance one core is currently at 23c and the other 33c.
  2. I built a PC...
  3. Sure, but it needs to stay in the realm of philosophy and not try to pass itself off as science (although I would say that there is some flaws in the philosophy as well).
  4. It also says he was a fair shot with a pistol/revolver and an excellent fencer - not to mention the many times he uses more unconventional weapons such as riding crops. No to mention being able to bend steel pokers with his bare hands, as in the Adventure of the Speckled Band. Ahhh... Yes, I had forgotten that - good memory.
  5. Except they're not.
  6. Yeah, Sand/Hades/Killian is right - listen to her.

  8. That's the only reason I can't justify buying PC for gaming. Spending 1k on a computer just to play video games (unless you are doing some sort of editing and need a system for that) seems a little ridiculous to me. Cost efficiency is the reason I play consoles now. I'm not trying to start a flamewar, just making the observation that, even if you only upgrade once every 5 years (which I doubt), I still only pay $400 for a console. Well this was a total upgrade -id est the case, PSU, monitor, etc.- so it was a bit more expensive than a normal one, but, yes, if you want to game on the cheap consoles offer a nice option for those who want to spend ~$250-400. Still, I like PC gaming more and 1k is not that much if you're dividing it out over a few years -upgrading parts over time- or only dropping that once and awhile -every 3-5 years for a total upgrade-.
  9. This is another good site for fact-checking.
  10. I spent about a grand on PC parts, that's a good thing though as I've been needing a better system...
  11. Meh, they're out of my price-range.
  12. I finished making a list of parts for a new system, I think I might order them tomorrow or the day after that.
  13. Yes, although it's gotten mixed reviews and I'll likely wait until it comes out on DVD to see it.
  14. The serial-killer might not intend to cause terror while a terrorist, by definition, wants to.
  15. Stats are easy to replicate but the location and quests would be hard (it's doable but hard).
  16. Would you say the old-IRA was a terrorist organization? If so, how is this any different?
  17. Yep, just copy them to the same place on the new drive and they should be right there.
  18. You need to find the save files and transfer them over.
  19. Yep. Although, to be fair, there was a tank next to me at the time. We really should do that as those were good times.
  20. "God dammit Deraldin! Stop shooting me in the back! I've taken more damage from you than I have from the zombies!" "Hey you jerk! Stop hogging all the pills!" "Oh no, don't mind me, I'm just being torn to shreds by a frakking Hunter over here! No rush or anything!" Guys, let's play L4D. I'll play Derladin. actually, usually der and our little crew does REALLY well... except for when I accidentally headshot somebody with a hunting rifle. And that was usually because I forgot to get out of your way... Or get on that stupid rock.
  21. I'm running the installer with administer rights and in a compatibility mode, as for the bad registries I found those links too but I was hoping that someone here, seeing as this is a hotbed of BGII fans, would know a fix.
  22. I'm trying to install BGII but keep getting "Error number: 0x80040707" - any ideas? I'm almost positive the game used to work perfectly too, so this is a bit odd.
  23. I thought Mask of the Betrayer was actually one of the better expansions to come out...
  24. I've been sick.
