She is apparently two 7 year olds, she spelled "intelligent" wrong (irony), and I never signed up for "one dating agency site".

Off Topic / My 8800 GT is dying. Help me choose out a new card.

« on: September 14, 2009, 10:27:24 PM »

If I haven't told you already, my 8800 GT is dying (if it runs anything 3d, it fills the screen with garbage, and halts the computer, making it unusable until you restart.)

So, I need some help here. I need to choose a graphics card out, but I'm not sure where to go.
I don't have any money, but my parents volunteered to pay for it (if it's not too much).

All I really require is that it's better than the 8800 GT. It can be either nVidia or ATi.
Like I said, don't link me to a godly-priced video card. There's no way I'll be able to get it immediately.

Thanks in advance.

Off Topic / Phoenix Sky Harbor Intl. Airport - IP Banned?

« on: June 28, 2009, 04:18:39 AM »

Earlier today, I was at the Airport waiting for my plane to arrive, so I decided that I'm gonna post on the Blockland Forums. I go to the website, and--

Sorry Guest, you are banned from posting or sending personal messages on this forum.
Spam under alternate account "cookie monster"

That's right, someone got the airport IP banned. Quite interesting.

Discuss.

Drama / SuperToxic - Under the skirt.

« on: May 30, 2009, 05:58:58 AM »

Thanks to Packer for suggesting such a suiting title.

Where to start, where to start...
I met SuperToxic about one month ago, here on the forums. I got her STEAMID after she needed help port forwarding, so that I could help her out some more. After that, we started becoming good friends and whatnot. Now, there's nothing wrong with that, right? Everything's just fine, so why are you making a drama topic, Miga?

Two days ago, SuperToxic's brother logged onto her STEAM account. We talked, and eventually I asked "when does your sister usually get up?" He replied "I don't have a sister :P"

...interesting, right?

Well, when SuperToxic came back online, she loaded up Source SDK. I started talking to her as usual, but then, I remembered last night's conversation with her brother, and said:

Miga: also, your bro kept saying that he doesn't have a sister
Miga: so I'm even more confused
SuperToxic is now Offline.

That's right, right as I said that, "she" instantly logged off of STEAM, and didn't come back online for quite a few hours. Now, you could be saying that it was just a coincidence, and that "she" had to leave right as I said that. WRONG. I've actually asked "her" two times before, as "her" brother actually has said this before as well. Every time I ask "her", "she" instantly went offline.

SuperToxic, there's nothing to hide anymore. It's obvious you're not the gender you claim yourself to be. I was actually already suspicious of this, when you said you browse around on 4chan. That's a bit odd, why would a girl browse around on 4chan? It makes no sense. 4chan sucks, anyway.

Oh, and I know what your voice sounds like, thanks to YOUR YouTube account that your brother sent me.

SuperToxic, you might as well just admit that you're not female right now. You're already pretty much busted, and it's pretty obvious now that you're not a girl. Why did you even try to pull yourself off as being "female"? Why not just tell the truth? Also, knowing you now, you're probably going to see this topic and quickly close Mozilla Firefox/Internet Explorer/Opera/Google Chrome, like what you do on STEAM, thinking you're safe. I wish you would've told me you were a guy, cuz we would've still been friends, but oh well.

tl;dr: SuperToxic, ID 9858, is not female.

Thank you very much good sirs, and have a good day.

Off Topic / Torque Game Engine for the iPhone/iPod Touch | Blockland for iPhone/iPod Touch

« on: May 15, 2009, 12:02:25 AM »

While I was just looking through the App Store on my iPod, I noticed that there was an app called "iTGE FPS" (or something along those lines). I downloaded it and played the three singleplayer things that were on there. The loading screen and the gameplay was very familiar to the Torque Game Engine demo app for PC, and supposidly they didn't lower the texture qualities or anything, they just made on-screen controls and did something with iTGE, made an app and submitted it to the App Store.

Now, the reason I made this topic is because, as most of you know, Blockland uses Torque Game Engine, and it would be absolutely awesome for Badspot to modify Blockland with iTGE and make it work with the iPod Touch/iPhone. Sure, it wouldn't be able to handle many bricks, but it would still be kickass.

What do you think? Should Badspot make a Blockland for the iPhone/iPod Touch?

Off Topic / The laptop I'm getting for school.

« on: April 28, 2009, 11:37:13 PM »

I created this thread out of boredom, and to show off the laptop I'm getting for when I go into High School. (It's mandatory that you have a laptop at the high school I'm going to).

I was originally going to get the Lenovo IdeaPad netbook, but I decided against it, as I wanted to be able to play pretty much any game I have on my STEAM games list with it.

So, I'm getting the Lenovo ThinkPad. (Trader approved! )



Specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz
Windows Vista Home Premium
ATi Mobility Radeon 3470 256 MB
4 GB of DDR3 RAM
160 GB Hard Drive
CD-RW Drive (I don't really burn DVD's.)
9 cell Li-ion battery (up to 8 hours of battery life)

Total Cost: $1,168


Feel free to post any laptop you're going to be getting here.

Help / Windows 7: Where are downloaded add-ons stored?

« on: April 18, 2009, 09:25:20 PM »

I want to clean out some of my add-ons I've downloaded from another server. However, when I go to the Add-Ons folder of Blockland, it only has the default add-ons, and the ones that I've installed. So where would these downloaded add-ons be put into? This also applies to screenshots and saves, whenever I take a screenshot or save something, it's not in /saves and /screenshots.

Off Topic / My laptop's backlight's dead!

« on: April 09, 2009, 02:10:35 PM »

Dangit!
I just pulled out my laptop for school, just to find that the screen turned on, but the backlight won't turn on.
It's all zappy, and when I take off a cover and unplug and re-plug in the display, it gets all zappy and trys to turn on, but fails.
At least I can still sort-of see it (and post here).

At least this gives me a good excuse to get a new laptop.

Off Topic / Possible to fix wireless polling lag on Windows 7?

« on: April 05, 2009, 08:25:59 PM »

This has been driving me almost insane since I moved into this new house.
I'm not able to have an Ethernet cord going into my room, so I'm forced to use wireless.
For some reason, Windows 7 decides to scan for wireless networks, even after I've already connected to one.
Now, the lag isn't too unbearable for games like TF2 or GMod, but for Blockland, it's terrible. The lag can last as long as 15 seconds. It apparantly has something to do with WLAN Autoconfig, but disabling it does nothing but completely turn off the wireless card. I've tried programs like Vista Anti-Lag, but again, does nothing. I even have the wireless card set to not look for any better preferred wireless networks, yet it continues to do so.
Is there any way to fix this at all?!

Wireless card: Linksys WMP54G
OS: Windows 7

tl;dr: Just close out of this topic. You're probably no help to me anyway if you can't bother to read the whole thing.

Drama / Mangobean ID 10654 - He's back.

« on: March 31, 2009, 08:33:29 PM »

That's right, everybody's "favorite" person is back, Mangobean. Under a new ID and everything.
He was just spotted in Fooly Cooly's server. He said his old ID got disabled.
Discuss.
