Off Topic / Using a flash drive on 3.3v USB
« on: March 04, 2013, 05:55:06 PM »
Sorry for the wall of text, just wanted to give a little back story, might help a little bit:

The company I work for builds computerized inventory control machines, and I've semi-recently been moved to building and imaging computers. We stick a flash drive inside of the computers to back up the core files for our program, the flash drive is plugged in to an internal USB expansion. We've been having read/write errors and discovered that the internal ports are only putting out 3.3v rather than 5v like the front and back panel ports. We slowed down the USB ports from 2.0 to 1.1 and the back up/restore works fine, albeit very slowly. The controller is linked to the front panel ports though, which could cause issues with the thumb print readers, proximity readers, etc. We are trying to find a flash drive that can operate at only 3.3v rather than use the more expensive solution one of our engineers came up with. (Sucking additional power out of the second SATA port for the USB wires)

If you know anything about this sort of thing your help would be much appreciated. Is it possible, or will we have to use the second wire? We can't put the flash drive on the outside because we need as many external ports open as possible.

Off Topic / How do you tell the difference among graphics cards?
« on: January 06, 2013, 12:48:02 AM »
I really need a new card but looking up cards just confuses me. I'll find a card with really great specs and stuff but the reviews say it's unusable. I'll find a card with really low specs and the reviews say it's the best they've ever used.
My nVidia GTX 9800 just failed on me earlier this year and my friend gave me an ATI Radeon HD 6770 which is supposed to be a lot better, yet I find that my 9800 was outperforming it in nearly every game I play. Why the forget is that? Why are people on YouTube running BF3 on ultra with 35 fps using a 6770, yet I can't even run Metro 2033 on high without dropping to like 10 fps?
Why are new cards coming out that are inferior to older cards even when they're made by the same company?
What's the difference among brands like EVGA and VisionTek? Even when the specs look the same they are usually extremely different in performance.

The more I research the more confused I get. I just want to play stuff like Sleeping Dogs on extreme with at least 35 fps, I'm not trying to run Crysis or anything or do any in-depth video editing. I also know I do not want an ATI card since me and everyone I know with ATI cards have nothing but horror stories.

Someone please enlighten me

Creativity / My first studio update
« on: January 01, 2013, 03:03:04 AM »
http://youtu.be/naUJK46bYhI

Copy and pasting the description from YouTube cause I'm too lazy to reword it:

Quote from: Me
I apologize for the absolutely dog stuff audio, the on board mic in my webcam just decided to not record anything right in the middle of doing the first take. My condenser mic picked up way too much bass and I didn't feel like loving with it so I ended up using a Guitar Hero microphone. The audio turned out really quiet so I had to boost the volume of the video, resulting in stuff sound quality.

Anyway, now that I've gotten that out there:

This is the first in a possible series of studio updates for my next album, "Separation Anxiety"
I hope to see a release in 2013 but there's no telling when I'll actually manage to finish writing it. I also hope to have a special guest perform vocals with me on at least one song (more guest vocal spots are welcome) but we'll see how that turns out.

Spread the word.

I'll be releasing a single once the album is about 75% finished. I currently sit around 35% just cause things need to be re recorded and a few songs need to be finished.

Examples:

At the Drive-In
Daughters
Two Door Cinema Club
Zelliack
Billy Talent
Bayside
Brand New

Suggestions & Requests / LoL style recall button for team death match
« on: August 08, 2012, 10:42:25 AM »
Simply map it to the button you desire, and when pressed during a death match it will charge up for 8 seconds then teleport you back to your team's spawn. If you get hit during the teleport it cancels out. There should also be some kind of ring or something around the minifig during the teleport charge.
I want to make a League of Legends style death match and this would be awesome to have. Could be used in other DMs as well.

Off Topic / I'm an exhibitionist
« on: July 19, 2012, 12:27:17 PM »
Yes, I show my body off to strangers on the internet. I enjoy it, and I'm not ashamed of it.

The point of this is; stop acting like you guys caught me red handed, or like you're surprised when you find me. Leave my image board threads, I don't want you in them if all you're doing is going, "You're VH, aaaaaaaaaaaaa."
I wanted to make the thread before anyone else does, Lard Tony already blew something similar to this up way out of proportion once.

It should surprise no one to find me on an image board site. You have not achieved anything by finding me. You are not embarrassing me. Yes there are two videos of me floating around- I didn't record the one with the girl, and the other one is extremely old. I'm hungry, someone take me to Steak 'N Shake.

« on: June 10, 2012, 08:14:10 AM »
Any cigarettes here play LoL? Me and my friend are looking for lvl 10-20s to play with, most of the people we get matched up with are loving handicaps. Even if you're not low level we still want people to play with so just post your username if you're down. Mine is AbaddonVH.

Also please use Skype.

« on: May 25, 2012, 11:32:16 PM »
Forgot to mention my birthday was the 25th (it's currently 12:37 here so it's not technically still my birthday anymore).
I am now 20.
There, I made my topic.

Off Topic / My cover of Punisher by Veil of Maya
« on: March 15, 2012, 05:41:13 PM »
**WARNING** : Metal and me being shirtless.

I covered Punisher by Veil of Maya after having only learned it a day ago. I may re do it later but whatever. Not sure what happened to the quality, blame YouTube. It took me almost 2 hours to upload it and I don't feel like uploading it again.

Clan Discussion / <BB> - The second return of the Blue Bananas
« on: March 15, 2012, 05:12:45 AM »


Old logo because I'm too lazy to make a new one yay.

Once upon a time in VH's Server, back in 2007, me and some friends began a discussion about disposable clans. (Clans that only last a week or so).
We thought it would be funny to make up a clan full of elitists with a really stupid name. <BB> was our tag and when people would ask, we would very seriously tell them "Blue Banana." We only expected it to last a week or so before it got old.
It started out as a joke and ended up as quite a memorable experience, everyone grew to be very close friends and we played together almost every day. The clan slowly died out as we became less and less active and I eventually formed RotB (Reformers of the Brick) with //Reformist in 2009. (Of which HPRC was a member, RIP cry cry mourn). RotB had much more of a serious tone and a heavier focus on cities, but that's a different story.
Then, later in 2009 I restarted Blue Banana in the hopes of recapturing the old magic we had shared, this time with a completely new memberlist and a fresh start. Blue Banana lasted on into 2010 until, yet again, it kind of slowly petered out into nothing. (RotB falling apart not too long before it.)
Now, 2 years later, I want to start again with a slew of fresh faces who are amped to make some death matches. (Did I mention our thing was death matches? No? Okay well, it is.)

MEMBERS!

VerticalHorizon
Phlack
Rambo something (My memory is more outdated than floppy disks)
Maxwell (I think)

APPLICATIONS!

I want to see your style shine through, what kind of ideas and creations will you bring to the team? Why would you be a credit to the team? Are you an illiterate, annoying, idiotic jerk off? Let's hope not, cause it will disqualify your chances no matter how well you build! Oh and good sense of humor is important because we forget around a lot. Post your applications in the gallery, I was hoping that was obvious.

OTHER INFORMATION!

<BB> tags will always look like that, so if you ever see someone with that tag being a richard wad on a server, let me know some how so I can ask them what the forget they think they're doing.
I will always be the one hosting the <BB> server unless otherwise posted here and I have zero tolerance for bullstuff. I will be unfair when I want to be and I will be mean, it depends heavily on my mood so you're really playing Russian Roulette here but if you just never act like a forgettard you'll never have to worry.
Our focus is death match building, so STOP ASKING.

Off Topic / My song about Amnesia: The Dark Descent
« on: March 03, 2012, 10:06:11 AM »
It's pointless to post anything in Creativity because no one will look at it, so I'm putting it here.

It's metal so if you can't handle growling/screaming, don't complain because I warned you.

Lyrics:

Trapped in stone corridors
Flickering dissonant light
Guiding me to the inner sanctum
The walls are breathing slowly
As the sounds grow louder
One by one my thoughts are vanquished by the darkness
Shadows passing by in the distance
Sanity slowly fading away
Fingers going numb
Senses failing me now
I must find him before they find me
