Gallery / Lego Pizzaria Recreation

« on: January 29, 2010, 06:27:04 PM »

I did this a LONG time ago, and decided to load it again (And add an arch brick!), and now I've decided to post it here.
It's a recreation of the Lego Pizzaria set. ("Pizza To Go" Set #6350 or #10036 reissue)



How do you guys like it?

Help / Blockland window loses focus on startup

« on: January 24, 2010, 09:14:21 PM »

Just now, I'm starting to have this problem.  When I start up blockland, the window loses focus after the main menu comes up, and then when I go back into the window, it crashes, because it's apparently not responding.

Off Topic / My Brother's Laptop Problems

« on: January 21, 2010, 03:59:11 PM »

Well, lately my brother's laptop seems to be overheating (Our guess).  It just turns off and can't go back on for a while after some gaming, and the fans are quite hot.  This happens only when the computer is plugged in, and just started recently.  With it plugged in, he can only do about half of a dungeon done in World of Warcraft, but when it's plugged in, he's lasted 3 dungeons and it just died when he plugged it in, and another time, he had gotten a bluescreen.  He thinks that it's his laptop trying to run the game too fast, so it overworks itself.  Could it actually be a bad driver?  Anyone have an idea?

Drama / RP Derailment

« on: December 28, 2009, 08:39:51 PM »

I'm sick of it.  I came to a thread to read about Badspot's Matchmaking Test server, but I get a thread of people talking about being engaged to Pandan and thousands of ":3" emotes.  I'm sick of you people.  Carry on the real discussion.  Don't you people know how?!  This forum has recently been infected with idiots obsessed with that emote and cute talk.

Off Topic / Computer Problem - No BIOS after clearing CMOS

« on: December 25, 2009, 10:25:01 PM »

I got a new processor today, and after installing it, I tried booting up, but it just stopped at verifying DMI pool data, and my PSU was blowing its fan at full blast.  So, I tried clearing CMOS to see if that may fix it.  I removed my mobo's battery and put it back in a little while later.  Now when I try booting, it starts for a second, then resets, then nothing happens after the fans spin up, with my PSU still doing the same thing.  Did I fry yet another mobo?

Drama / How to Post Like a Normal Person

« on: December 09, 2009, 04:16:29 PM »

You know what's really grinding my gears lately?  How stupid some people post lately  Is it really hard to post in a competent way? Here are some examples of what you guys are doing:

Cute Talk
No, tawking liek dis isn't cewt or cewl.  It's really just annoying and dumb, and really has the opposite effect than you want it to.  It makes you look like a complete idiot.

Not Reading the Thread
Really, in my post about a garry's mod map I'm making, about 4 people have said something about seams om the floor, and 4 times I've had to repeat myself that that's a part of the compiling process.  And that's just a specific example, I keep seeing this over and over.  Read the posts before yours, and your question may have been answered already. 

"This person broke up with me over the internet" Drama Threads
The drama section was made for legitimate drama, not how your internet buddy is joking around about hating you.  It's different when they actually hate you, but posting about a joke isn't worth it.

"I'm not downloading this if you don't..."
Alright, before I say anything about this, I'm guilty of this.  I've done it multiple times.  It's quite a dumb thing to post.  I say that you should just say what should improve, and move on.  Just leave out the "I'm not downloading this!" 

"My ID is higher/I've been here longer, therefore I am superior!"
Really, just stop.

Cry about how I'm a hypocrite/cramping your style below.

Off Topic / Need a New Case

« on: December 09, 2009, 03:36:18 PM »

Well, today, I opened my case's door, and that decided to break on me. (Cheap plastic.)  So I'm going to get a new case, this is kind of lucky for me, seeing as I'm not much of a fan of my case anymore.  So, I'm looking for a good looking case that works well, and I would like it to have a window, be colored black, be around $50-$70, and have blue lighting. (:D)  So far, I found the Thermaltake M9, and after looking at reviews and such, it seems nice. 
Here it is:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133058
Did I choose a good one?  Or do you guys think there's something better out there?
I don't really know what my current one is, it's something by Xion.  I can't find it on newegg.

Off Topic / G5 Mouse Completely Dead

« on: November 30, 2009, 05:32:04 PM »

What should I do?  My G5 mouse has completely died, I cannot use it at all.  I have no mouse right now.  Should I buy a g500?  They seems pretty nice, and I liked my G5.  The mouse is out of warranty now.

Creativity / gm_bedroom Released!

« on: November 29, 2009, 05:15:22 PM »

This is a Garry's Mod map I'm working on, it's a recreation of the Blockland bedroom.  I'm trying to make an accurate version, not like Op's version.

http://i47.tinypic.com/ap9sf4.jpg
This screenshot is of the wall with the door.  It's currently using dev textures, because I need some materials of Blockland textures.  I need to fix the light to make it look more like the Blockland map.

It's out now!
Where to get:

Drama / Chexguy - Stop Freaking Out.

« on: November 27, 2009, 04:38:12 PM »

Is anyone else tired of Chexguy's constant caps, overuse of "forget", and large text?  Really, he should calm down once in a while. 
Examples:

FOR POSTING IN THE WRONG loving SECTION BECAUSE YOUR loving PEA-BRAINED MIND WAS SCREWED UP THE ASS BY YOUR MOTHER DROPPING YOU ON YOUR HEAD AS A CHILD.

Goddamn these people are starting to piss me off.

WolfZone, you are such a loving idiot it's not even funny.

Gtfo.

You bought a USED copy of a Valve game?

That's your own fault. GG idiot.

also,

Off Topic / G5 Mouse Problems (Dying Out)

« on: November 22, 2009, 04:33:27 PM »

I've had this mouse since about last summer, and now it keeps turning off and on randomly.  I think it's the cord disconnecting and reconnecting.  Could it be something with Windows 7?  It started doing this when I got Windows 7.  Anyone ever had experience with this? I've tried different USB ports.  I'm going to try it on a different PC now.  And if it is the wire, should I get another G5, or get a different mouse?
EDIT: yep, it's the wire.

Games / Desert Bus For Hope 2009!

« on: November 20, 2009, 08:50:50 PM »

Hehe, this is awesome.  Some guys from LoadingReadyRun are running a fund raiser for Child's Play, and are playing Desert Bus from the unreleased game "Penn and Teller's Smoke and Mirrors" for Sega CD.  It's entertaining to watch/listen to.

Games / Looking for Good FPS

« on: November 06, 2009, 07:08:29 PM »

Are there any good T rated online FPS's coming out soon-ish, or are still active?  It should be PC (Could be console, though), rated T (ESRB rating), and the community must be active.  If it's a console one, it would be nice to have split screen.
