NO.
SHUT THE forget UP.
YOU AREN'T loving FUNNY.
It was maybe funny the first loving two or three assloving times to the first few handicaps who couldn't figure out how to loving turn on their god damn computers, but it isn't funny after the loving millionth time jesus loving christ on a god damn stick.
If you do a Forum Search on "delete system32" including the quotes you get two pages of unfunny handicaps spewing the same god damn stuff and looking like a bigger handicap than the last.
Seriously. loving grow up.
Maybe you should set your computer on fire just so we don't have to listen to your stuffty humor anymore.
Maybe you should kill yourself so other people don't learn your unfunny humor and you can't contribute to our already half-unfunny society of today.
forget damn.

Games / Dawn of War / Dawn of War II
« on: June 08, 2010, 10:25:51 PM »
I've noticed quite a lot of people apparently own some of the Dawn of War games.
Discuss/group together for some online play/etc. here. Yes there have been multiple topics similar to this but they are too old AFAIK according to the forum system.
Anyone wanna play Dawn of War II Chaos Rising Last Stand right now?
Info:
Dawn of War 1 Series
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is a military science fiction real-time strategy video game game developed by Relic Entertainment based on Games Workshop's popular tabletop wargame, Warhammer 40,000. It was released by THQ on September 20, 2004 in North America. Since its release, three expansion packs have been released: Winter Assault in 2005, Dark Crusade in 2006 and Soulstorm in 2008. The sequel, Dawn of War II was released in February 2009.
The Game of the Year edition was released on September 21, 2005 in the USA and on September 23 in Europe, containing 4 exclusive maps. Later, the Game of the Year edition and Winter Assault were bundled in the Gold Edition in the USA, released in March 2006. In November 2006, Dawn of War and its first two expansions were released together as The Platinum Collection in the USA or as the Dawn of War Anthology in the PAL regions. More recently, in March 2008, all three expansions along with Dawn of War have been released as The Complete Collection.
-Wikipedia.
There are two resources in the game: Power and Requisition. Although you might consider Power to be "build generators to power up your base" a la Command and Conquer style, it is actually a pure resource. Both resources are gathered at a rate, requisition is provided by capturing Strategic Points, Critical Locations, or Relics which unlock a special ability for the race. Power is provided by Power Generators or Thermo Power Generators built on special rare Slag Deposits that give you more power than a regular generator.
The game is entirely squad based with the exception of special units and vehicles. Most squads can be simply reinforced but others can have additional weaponry added to them in numerous ways.
Images:
There is one expansion and two stand alone expansions, meaning they do not require the original Dawn of War to play. However, to play more races online, you must own the other games. Explained afterwards.
Dawn of War 1 lets you play Space Marines, Chaos, Eldar and Orks online.
Winter Assault requires Dawn of War 1 and lets you play Imperial Guard.
Dark Crusade lets you play Necron and Tau.
Soulstorm lets you play Dark Eldar and Sisters of Battle.
Soulstorm lets you play all races singleplayer.
Dark Crusade lets you play all races in singleplayer as well except for the Dark Eldar and Sisters of Battle.
Winter Assault lets you play all races in singleplayer except for the Necrons, Tau, Dark Eldar and Sisters of Battle.
Dawn of War lets you play the remaining 4 "vanilla" races.
The older games like Winter Assault don't let you play the other races in singleplayer because they don't come with that game.
Basically if you don't own one game you cannot play the races that the one game offers. Don't own Winter Assault but you own all the others? You can play anyone but Imperial Guard. Don't own Dark Crusade or Dawn of War 1? You can't play Necrons, Tau, Space Marines, Chaos, Ork or Eldar online.
Dawn of War 2 series
Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II is a real-time strategy/tactical role-playing video game developed by Relic Entertainment and published by THQ for Microsoft Windows based on the fictional Warhammer 40,000 universe. It is the sequel to the Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War video game series. Dawn of War II was released in North America on February 19, 2009[2] and in Europe on February 20, 2009.[3]
-Wikipedia.
In Dawn of War II, many things are changed that make it stand apart from its predecessor. The first is that the game uses both Games for Windows LIVE and Steam. Second is that base building has been entirely removed from the game and the game now focuses on purely vehicle/infantry combat squad control.
There are four races in Dawn of War II. Space Marines, Eldar, Orks, and for the first time Tyranids, insectoid bio-organic living creatures that hate anything else in their tracks.
There is currently one expansion for Dawn of War II, Chaos Rising, which brings a new race to the Dawn of War II game-universe, the dark forces of Chaos. Unlike the first Dawn of War where Chaos was themed with blood, they are now more or less themed with dark energies as they are usually seen. The campaign features choices along the whole storyline that either corrupt your deployed squads or redeem them, either giving them new deadly powers in trade for their regular ones or keeping them true to the Emperor's beliefs.
Not to mention the game's engine is graphically superior by a lot compared to the first Dawn of War (but even though I still prefer Dawn of War 1 because of its base building.)
I went ahead and linked that one because it makes a sweet wallpaper. Original in 1920x1080.
<end of info>
Scheduled playtimes:
Dawn of War 1
We use Dark Crusade to play together.
None
Dawn of War 2
I don't know if Chaos Rising players can connect with non-Chaos Rising players. We need to test this and see.
None.

Off Topic / New Hurricane Alarm System Installed in New Orleans
« on: June 06, 2010, 11:43:16 PM »
After Hurricane Katrina, most of the hurricane warning sirens were wiped out by the floods and damaged systems that were eventually replaced. The New Orleans created a really powerful new siren that makes sure EVERYONE can hear it in case another Katrina happens.
Link to video of said new sirens.
It's pretty awesome, right?

Off Topic / Last week of school
« on: May 31, 2010, 10:13:42 PM »
Well this is my last week of school.
But it is also my last week of elementary school in a private middle school which I've been attending for about 5 years now. Some kids have been attending the school for a whole 10 years.
How should I/we celebrate our last week of school?
Advisory parties are out of the question, our advisor isn't really the one who'd let us do that :(

We had a fire drill yesterday during 3rd period. Serious business, right? 5 minutes wasted in English, yes.
Today we had a fire alarm, as in it wasn't a drill. We were watching Saving Private Ryan in World History (awesome, yes?) and all of the sudden the projector just turns off and fire alarm goes blaring, again. Flood lights are on and everyone looks confused because it is 99% unlikely to have two fire drills in a row.
We walk outside, fire truck arrives, alarm is over. Electrical problem apparently. We walk back inside, and as we're walking back in it the alarm goes off again but electricity is still out.
So we sit outside for 2 hours, went inside to grab lunch and got out again while the alarm wasn't on and got our stuff, and basically missed half the day for sitting in the sun.

Off Topic / What is with lacrosse and being apparently "the most popular sport in america"?
« on: May 04, 2010, 09:26:47 PM »
It's not that I hate lacrosse or anything but some people seem to over exaggerate their undying love for a simple sport. Honestly I don't like it as much, I don't know why it just doesn't interest me that much. Go figure.
Apparently though it suddenly just jumped in popularity in my class almost in a week. We have normally about 3-4 guys who play lacrosse or have played it outside of school in some league. Now we have 10-12 of them playing lacrosse, two for track and field (me included) and 5 for baseball.
I don't get it, it just somehow seems to be incredibly amazing to even black people, like how did this happen? I'm so confused.

This is the map.

So I want to build an underground portion of a building I'm making. How can I accomplish this without having to make the road higher?
Yes I have tried setting an empty portion of the terrain in mission editor and it doesn't work.

Off Topic / My Computer May or May Not Be Bipolar
« on: April 25, 2010, 04:05:06 PM »
Hey look my computer is having some odd problems again.
I'm going to go ahead and divide up this thread post into three sections.
I. Problem 1
II. Problem 2
III. Upgrade; Yes or No?
DxDiag.txt is attached.
Problem 1
Description of the problem: The computer freezes up.
When: Generally whenever there is no user interaction via mouse or keyboard present but has happened randomly while doing anything though.
How long: Ever since this computer has come to be.
Possible and ruled out causes: COULD be motherboard or hard drive, definitely not memory at least I don't think.
I defragged my drive and I'm going to do a virus scan and a disc check tomorrow but I highly doubt it is a virus.
UPDATE
Disk check found nothing wrong.
Problem 2
Problem verified and 'solved'.
Different RAM speeds = BAD.
Took out 800 MHz 2GB and its much faster somehow, and will either get two 1GB 667 MHz or two 2GB at 1066 MHz. Whichever one.
Description of the problem: My system does not live to its potential (aka it's being loving bottlenecked by something and it's pissing me off)
When: Very demanding games such as Crysis or Grand Theft Auto 4.
How long: I passed it off as "oh my system just still isn't good enough" but a 9800GT shouldn't be failing to perform in Crysis or GTA4 at all.
I don't know what is wrong with my system.
I have a Core 2 Duo E7300 2.66 GHz (Yes I stopped overclocking it to make it last longer).
A 9800GT 512 MB that shares 2.2 GB with my system.
Gigabyte EP43-DS3L motherboard
4GB of RAM (two 1GB at 667 MHz and one 2GB at 800 MHz)
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
An Antec EarthWatts 650w PSU
160GB WDC 7200RPM HDD (finally found specs of my hard drive)
I seriously don't see how this can fail to perform properly in Crysis or GTA 4 which are literally the only demanding games I've played on this system. GTA4 fails to do anything more than 25FPS on a street with severely low settings (and its ungodly hideous too) and Crysis can only go on low with around 50-60 FPS as well. It's incredibly annoying because I can't figure out whether I need to upgrade the entire thing or something specific.
UPDATE
For GTA 4;
Recommended: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz, AMD Phenom X3 2.1GHz
You Have: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7300 @ 2.66GHz
This is the only thing that failed for recommended. Wat.
But with Crysis it says I can do incredibly great on it.
Should I upgrade?
Problem 2 being stated, should I really upgrade? Is my system just seriously not that good enough? Do I need a quad core?
Upgrade thoughts:
A Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66 GHz (because I don't want to dish money for anything other than my already current LGA775 motherboard)
4GB of DDR2 1066 RAM
and hopefully a used GTX260 when my brother buys a 480.
End of problems relating to a computer.
P.S. If you don't know anything about what I'm talking about please turn around and leave the thread.
