Off Topic / Thinking about Getting a New Computer

« on: June 12, 2011, 08:46:16 AM »

Alright, are these specs good enough to run TF2 on high graphics? Also, do they make a good computer for $649? $99 of that is to get the OS preloaded on it.

Processor: Quad-core AMD Phenom 2 X4 840

Memory: 8 GB of RAM

Graphics Card: AMD Radeon HD 6450 (1 GB)

Power Supply: 450 Watts

Hard Drive: 1 TB

Suggestions & Requests / Flintlock Pistol

« on: May 21, 2011, 08:56:13 AM »

I would like what the title says.

Pic:

It would fire one projectile for 100 damage, however that projectile would be very inaccurate (would go off to one side very often), and it would have to reload (a very lengthy reload, ~10 seconds) after each shot.

Here's a good video of a flintlock shooting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3LLnnhfM9Q&NR=1

Suggestions & Requests / BobSevenSevens' Topic of Multiple Requests

« on: May 06, 2011, 06:31:21 PM »

Alright, I came up with a few ideas at once, so here they are.

1: The Recoiler

It's a rifle. When you fire it, it fires 2 projectiles. One flies forward very fast and does 100 damage, while the second projectile flies backward and hits you. It does no damage, but it launches you up at a 10 degree angle. Not sure what this would be useful for.

2: The Self Delete Gun

When you use it in normal mode, it's basically a T+T2 Classic Pistol. When you right click, the model changes so it appears to be pointing at the shooter's head. If they fire while in this mode, they kill themselves. Could be useful for a "police standoff" Blockland movie.

Off Topic / Help with TF2

« on: April 16, 2011, 05:30:36 PM »

Alright, I have a major problem.

I get up to joining a server, but right as I'm about to spawn, the game crashes. Here's the error message:



Here's my dxdiag:





Any help with this? I already defragged and verified my local game cache.

Off Topic / Computer randomly running slow, need some help

« on: April 14, 2011, 07:35:30 AM »

Alright, so here's my problem:

It seems that sometimes, when I go to open my internet up, the forums (my homepage) takes about half an hour to load. I tested this amount on IE and Firefox.

It seems to happen after I open my email. No, I don't go into any of the spam folders.

Anyways, when I go to close out the freezing-up firefox, I have to click "End Process" at least 10 times for the process to end.

When I restart my computer (which fixes it), while the computer is shutting down, it has to end a program called NsAppShell::EventTimer. I'm pretty sure this is the problem. Stuff I think it could be:

Virus
VZW Download Assistant (I can plug my phone in and get updates)
???

Any help, forums?

tl;dr pretty sure something called NsAppShell::EventTimer is slowing down my internet, any help?

Hey, my dedicated runs fine (and people can join), until I leave. Then, it doesn't show up on the Internet list for anyone, it only shows up on my LAN list. Any help?

Hey, right now on my dedicated I'm hosting a TDM. I found the save from a few years back and decided to add some stuff, and that's what I'm hosting. The map is Amade Isles. It's up whenever I can get it up and hope my dad won't notice :3

Off Topic / Common Gun Misconceptions

« on: March 15, 2011, 10:29:39 PM »

Alright, so I notice some people have common miscinceptions about guns. Here are some Misconceptions (M) and Truths (T). Post anything about guns you think is true.

M: You can shoot someone with a Masterkey at anything other than point-blank range.

T: False. Masterkeys are used for breaching doors, and take only special shotgun shells with breaching loads.

M: A Makarov pistol is more powerful than a M1911 .45.

T: False. A Makarov shoots 9mm, and a M1911 shoots .45, which is more powerful.


M: An AK-47 can't shoot through bricks or cinder blocks.

T: The 7.62 round the AK shoots is more than powerful enough to blow through a cinder block wall, given enough rounds. Video proof here

Whenever I use spellcheck, I'm tired of seeing "add-on" pop up. Maybe Badspot can update the list to include this? Post any other words you want added to the spellcheck list.

Suggestions & Requests / Claymore Mine

« on: February 25, 2011, 09:27:59 AM »

I think a mine would be pretty useful. As far as I know, there isnt one yet. It would be a one use item and when you use it, it drops straight down and shoots short range invisible projectiles in front of it. If someone walks into one of the projectiles,an explosion sound plays and the player gets 100 damage. The mine would also disappear when the explosion sound plays.
