Now for the prices of the 2 main things I need to run ARMA 2 on Medium to HIGH.
Processor:
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor 3 GHz 6 MB Cache Socket LGA775
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00116SLYY/sr=1-1/qid=1313597030/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1313597030&sr=1-1&seller=
$186 (NEW) $90 (USED)
Reviews say this will be good for ARMA 2 Combined Operations, Rated 5/5.  Runs every NEW game on High, no problem.
Some Reviews say to buy it from used, 70% of them aren't really used, just from a different Seller.
_____________________________ _____________________________ _______________________

Now for the Video Card, I have 2 of them.
Here is the Nvidia one,
People reviewed, said this is very good, recommanded also for ARMA 2 Combined Operations.  Runs very good on some new games.
http://www.amazon.com/Nvidia-Geforce-8800GTS-512MB-Retail/dp/B001190FZO/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1313596813&sr=1-1
And people also say that it's very good for buying used.
The prices for the Nvidia are: $175 (NEW)  and $109 (USED)


_____________________________ _____________________________ _________________________
Here is the ATI One:
Everyone says its a big BANG for the BUCK.  And people said that the fan makes Whinning noises... But doesn't matter much.  $80 (USED)
http://www.amazon.com/XFX-Radeon-PCI-Express-Video-HD485XZNFC/dp/tech-data/B003BNRFC4/ref=de_a_smtd
Overall People said this is good.  But I do watch some youtube.com video's from this one youtuber named Briggsil.  He has his computer specs on his channel and here they are...


_____________________________ _____________________________ ___________________________
Briggsil Spec's and prices...
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=I7+950+%40+3.07ghz&x=20&y=11
$250 (NEW) $219 (USED)  He can run it very good he said, it doesn't look as good on youtube cause recording does delay some graphics.  IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE, I am not even thinking one bit to get this, but anyways it runs like a charm.
That is his processor...

http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-PCI-Express-Graphics-01G-P3-1366-TR/dp/B004DKWLB4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1313600056&sr=8-1
This is his video card, which isn't bad if you ask me.
$159 (NEW) $150 (USED)  I think that would be a good buy.... But I got no money.



Adding them up..

Intel Core 2 Duo Processor 3 GHz 6 MB Cache Socket LGA775
AND
Nvidia-Geforce-8800GTS-512MB
New: $186+$175=$361 (Yeah right... But If I had that money I would get it)
Used: $90+$109=$199 (This is actually very good price for used, But I will go on the ATI one now...)




Intel Core 2 Duo Processor 3 GHz 6 MB Cache Socket LGA775
AND
XFX-Radeon-PCI-Express-Video-HD485XZNFC
New:$186+$80=$266 Ok, just no.  But the XFX Radeon has only USED ones.
Used: $90+$80=$170 (The best buy I think...)

Here is the BIGGSIL one...
I7 3.07GHz
AND
EVGA-GeForce-PCI-Express-Graphics
New:$250+$159=$409 (Yeah right)
Used: $219+$150=$369 (Nope... If I had this much money I would get it)

But If I have these particular stuff, I can run any game.

Here is this laptop I found with a review of ARMA 2.
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-G73JH-RBBX05-Refurbished-Notebook-PC/dp/B00405WVVW/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1313600773&sr=8-11
$954 NEW
$899 USED
I would die to get this laptop.
Everything that you need.


Lol just offtopic stuff, I wanted to know if some stuff is good or not.


EDIT... I JUST WANNA RUN ARMA 2 FROM NORMAL SETTINGS TO HIGH IF POSSIBLE.

Drama / Block Aloni spams with crappy posts

« on: August 09, 2011, 01:43:25 PM »

Here are the links...

http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=165509.0

http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=165618.0

http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=165511.0

http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=165500.0

And that is really all i can find...

But he posted like 3 GTA 5 posts... Which I doubt Rockstar would actually make.


His profile link:

http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?action=profile;u=37854


And when he posts he thinks he is very smart and intelligent.  He can't even spell useful right.
And he did post something about Shell in this Drama Topic... here is the link for that...


http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=165534.0

And he thinks he is very cool for saying:
"Bro"

Off Topic / What could happen if the Debt Ceiling doesn't get a plan. (NEW POLL UPDATED)

« on: July 28, 2011, 12:08:09 AM »

FOR YOU PEOPLE LIKE STUNTMAN WHO DECIDE TO SPAM MY THREAD ABOUT NON-SENSE CRAP DON'T EVEN BOTHER POSTING.

If the Feds and Reps don't find a debt plan BEFORE August 2nd... Stuff will happen... I will explain that later inthis post...


But If they do... the "bad" stuff won't happen... Well not much.  But They need to fix the debt and PAY china their Bonds... why?  China has already warned us we have to pay the Bonds ASAP.  So If they don't find something to fix it...  The world will be in crCIA...

But heres is the "bad" stuff that Very Well could happen if they don't have a plan before august 2nd.

US Citizens that are retired and need their Social Security Checks to actually LIVE on, so if it doesn't happen the people that are retired... are gonna go crazy... When I say crazy... Not like 'drunk' or what ever I mean like violent crazy.  There could and most likely be riots... NOT like when the Canucks lost from the Bruins in game 7, but I mean shooting, fires, bad stuff....

A LOT of people will be homeless... about 85-95% of the middle class.  and 95% of the country is middle class...  But I don't think that would matter... everyone would just go into a house with their family.  

Everything would be VERY expensive... why?  I am pretty sure China wouldn't ship anymore things to the USA anymore...

Food, Water, Gas, Video Games, Internet Prices, ect will go up... I mean UP.  Higher then the Movie UP.  

So everyone would be 'limited' on what they had..

THIS ALL WON'T HAPPEN RIGHT AFTER THE AUGUST 2ND DATE... AND WHO KNOWS THEY MIGHT COME UP WITH SOMETHING... I HOPE.

But once the US Economy Crashs, the WHOLE world goes down with it... Every country, city, union, WHAT EVER.  
Yes China would go down also.


But that would cause WW3... 60% sure it could...

But I mean the US couldn't get oil, so no gas or w/e.  We wouldn't have money to pay china... So say bye-bye goods.  And the world would be in HELL.  

I mean HELL also.  

BUT FOR PEOPLE THAT TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY... I personally DOUBT this will actually happen.  But If they don't have a plan before August 2nd SOME of this stuff could happen, but it would take some time...

Like 2 years for WW3 or w/e.

But you can discuss this if anyone wants to... Maybe like to fix this if I have stuff wrong...

Or predict what could actually happen to the whole world.

Remember this... Every Country in the world "rides" with the USA.   When the US Economy is down, thet worlds is somewhat down....

But Please don't take this seriously.  

But Just Post your predictions on what could and couldn't happen.

Games / E3 Winners?(Image Heavy... maybe)

« on: July 27, 2011, 12:21:15 AM »

Well I know E3 is very popular for some of you... I know this is very old but I am posting this because the official winners have been choosen.

Best Exclusive Games Announcement:
Uncharted 3, The last Guardian, Infamous 2, Twisted Metal, And more.
I mean how much better can you get? 



Uncharted 1&2 were the most AMAZING games I have played in a LONG time... it brings realism in key, puzzle solvers, and shooting.  I can't imagine how good the campaign in Uncharted 3 will be... I mean the Beta for online was very good...

_______________________
BIGGEST ANNOUNCEMENT:

The Playstation Vita, Vita means "life" in latin... So What does that really have to do wiith the Vita?  I don't wanna know... But there are some good games coming to the Vita! 
Uncharted Golden Abyss, Little Big Planet (Vita Edition).  Those are the 2 most hyped ones on the PS3 Forums currently.  But will there be a Call Of duty on it?  (ihopenot)
_______________________
WHO WON THE PRESS CONFRENCE???




No I am not a Playstation Fanny, I honestly HATE consoles, But I am saying this... I am more impressed by Sony then Microsoft and Nintendo... (whogivesaboutthewii)

Sony decided to unleash their fire-power and show us some very kick ass gameplay of Uncharted 3... I was changing my pants every 4 seconds.  But I can't say this... Sony really killed Microsoft and Nintendo... I think that Nintendo would of course be number 2 in teh Press Confrence winners.  Microsoft Number 3...

______________
Best Game of E3.



Battlefield 3. 
Well everyone is gonna argue about this... saying oh MW3 is the winnah.... But I don't think so.

Big whoop, they showed some MW3 gameplay of them in these little carrotish submarines invading their own friggen country... Wow. 
But BF showed us the Thunder Run mission, I was Changing pants so much that I can't count how many of my pants are pure WHITE.  But The graphics are like Auto Pant Changers.  They are amazing. 

(Foryoucodfanboysoutthere...ju stgoawayifyoudontagreewiththi sstuff)


Well those are the main ones i thought they would be.

Suggestions & Requests / A Lawnmower.

« on: July 26, 2011, 04:42:28 PM »

Well for RPG's and Roleplays I could think that lawnmowers would be the BEST thing for it.  IT can be a job for people also...



EDIT:
And Also maybe but I could really care less if someone did or didn't maybe for RP's they could have the grass emiter (lagemitter) and if the lawnmower went over it it would make the Grass dissapear.

Drama / Ryerye being a overall noob and trapper?

« on: July 26, 2011, 12:29:21 PM »

Suggestions & Requests / Realistic Player type.

« on: July 24, 2011, 10:49:04 PM »

Here are my suggestions for it...
1.Have players vault over little fences/walls.
2.Jumping will wear your stamina out at least 25%.
3.Jumping sounds of feet.  Or maybe like the CoD Black Ops vault/jump sound.
4.Walking sounds.
5.Running/Sprinting wears your stamina out 10% every 10 Seconds you are sprinting.
6.For JVS content like doors, you see your Blocklanders hand actually turn the handle and open the door.
7.Punching is realistic, you can block, dodge, and of course punch.  (If you get hit near the face/nose you start bleeding.
8.Falling Bricks can hurt/kill you.
9.Bullet Damage is at 45%, A sniper head shot is 100% Sniper Body 85% Sniper FEET 65%.
10.Have realistic Emotes.  


This would be the most impossible thing of all time but Just a suggestion.

General Discussion / Some people are complaining that admins aren't doing their jobs?

« on: July 23, 2011, 12:28:58 AM »

I heard from a couple of people saying they are saying they can't/arn't doing their jobs... 

I find admins pretty decent on here... Not horrible, not to childish, but in the perfect spot..

Horrible is like on the CoD forums...
Childish is like on the Roblox Forums...


But They ban the right people...  I can't find any ban that shouldn't of happened.

General Discussion / Blockland Add on Reviews.

« on: July 22, 2011, 01:43:13 AM »

First off I am gonna review a lot.  I decided to do this because i dont' really see any thread about this on Gen Discussion... But post ANY addon that is usefull or appeals to you.


Here are my reviews for now...

THE AWP

I think this is on of the BEST sniper rifle addons in the history of blockland, you can press the "jet" key to view down the scope of the rifle and pic your targets off.  

Very accurate animations, ect.  

I would give this addon a 9.5/10  
  
Scripted by Munk.  

______________

TIER TACTICAL

This addon pack includes some of the BEST weapons for TDM's, C&R, DM's, and more.  There is about, 36 different guns... I am to lazy to count them but just guessing.   Bushido really amazed us all and I bet 90% of the community has this GREAT weapons pack.

I would of course rate this pack a 9/10. 

Credits to:
Aloshi, Space Guy, Jaydee,
Anybody, Rkynick, the Bushido's Server steam group,
anyone not individually specified,
and YOU, the players, for your support!




Well this is all i can do for now!  So if you wanna add some more.  

I have a feeling people will flame me for this...  If you don't like this... please just stay away.
