Off Topic / Nickelob's NOT stuffTY Youtube Videos (New - 6/28!)

« on: March 28, 2011, 07:17:02 PM »

I frequently record things in games with FRAPS, whether it's singleplayer or multiplayer.

I'm not asking for subs or ratings whatever the forget YouTube does these days, but if you have some time to spend you can check these out.  I have plenty more of my channel.

I don't consider channel views, subscribers or friends counts to be anything benefiting reputation.  I don't aspire to be one of those fat-cats who vlog every day on YouTube.

I record things with FRAPS on a Core i7 930 @ 2.8 GHz, with 6GB of RAM and a GTX460 768MB.  If you hear background conversations, those are done with Skype.  I edit 90% of all my videos with Sony Vegas Pro 9 (The rest are either raw footage or before I got it).


Grand Theft Auto IV - Niko Bellic Plays in Traffic and goes Sightseeing

Self explanatory, funny stuff.  Featuring SBSP music!


Red Alert 3 - Battleships.

There was an ongoing discussion about battleships.  I got the best part, I think.


Flatout - Best Mid-Race Crash

I was doing a figure 8 race, and apparently I'm so good that I caught up to the other opponents still halfway across...  Yeah.  You know what happens next.


Flatout - The Best Push EVER.

I push a racecar out of the track.  Yeah, forget you woman driver, thats what you get for being handicapped as stuff and getting us both in 10th and 11th place, you dumb whore.


Crysis 2 Elevator Rave

The original disco beat was too simple in my opinion.  So I added in my own music.


Homefront - Beginning Massacre

The beginning cutscene of Homefront was so shocking that I just had to stop, start over, and record it, then put it on YouTube.  The content of this video may actually be a bit shocking.


Homefront - Kaos Studios makes great physics engines

Title says it all, just some ragdoll glitch and then a surprise end (out of loving nowhere).


The Hippo Troll Train Has Arrived

Long story here.  Basically me and two other friends joined a random roleplay server in Garry's Mod.  We voted ourselves into supreme power (somehow) and shot up everyone, got them all mad, and so they actually worked together and spawnkilled us.  But then suddenly, trains.  Trains EVERYWHERE.


NIKO BELLIC DIES.

I pretty much shot up an office very nicely, stole a truck, and then ran off on the highway.  What a dramatic ending.


Some Hippomen Play Some Scary stuff

Me and about 4 other friends play on this really cool ghost haunted house map.  Really freaky stuff happened, no joke.  This is honestly one of the best things I've done in Garry's Mod.


Realistic Car Physics

I edited handling.dat.  Fun things.


Them Hicks Took My Ass!

I was in a Skype call with a friend, while I was just doing some brick physics film testing.  The conversation lead from one thing to another... and uh...

...yeah.



I will frequently update as I roll out more videos.  This is only a couple of my videos, all of them can be easily viewed through related videos or my channel.

Anyone else surf the forums on their phone?  If so, how do you disable the "mobile" version, which lacks any images or detailed graphics?

Off Topic / Suggest Nickelob a TV Show

« on: March 26, 2011, 07:24:22 PM »

Right now I'm downloading the first 22 episodes of House, so I plan to watch that, but after that's over, what do I watch?

I'm quite a beginner to TV, so yeah.

What I've seen:

-The Office
-General Hospital
-E.R.
-All My Children

A few more, but I can't really remember.

So, I need something funny and that would be appropriate for a fifteen year old.

kthnx.

Off Topic / Netbook and ION2

« on: March 17, 2011, 11:24:03 PM »

I am thinking of getting this $500 netbook to replace my laptop.

The Intel Atom processor is a dual core with hyperthreading (a pseudo-quadcore if you will), and an Nvidia ION2 (short for 2nd generation Nvidia ION graphics)

I've looked up the reviews of this netbook and found that most benchmarks point to the CPU being a bottleneck for the ION2.  However, I'm also planning to throw in $50 to add in 4GB of RAM, maybe 2GB if I feel it isn't necessary.

Does anyone have any experience with the ION2?  Or do you have another laptop that you can recommend for me that is $500 or less?
This laptop must:

• be at least 1366x768 in resolution
• have a webcam and microphone built in (0.3 megapixel minimum)
• be using any Intel processor
• have at least two physical cores
• have an onboard dedicated video chip (Nvidia preferred, highly)
• have Windows 7 (Home Premium minimum)
• be a small laptop, no big screens or whatever.
• MUST be able to at least handle some graphics, i.e. TF2, Civ4, Minecraft, etc.
