  1. Flip the desk top upside down for the time being. May look funny if it's unfinished, but it will do the job until it straightens itself out again.

     

    This depends on the way the legs mount of course, such as screwed right through. But if you can do it...it's the best solution.

     

    he means the table top is warped downward, probably from the weight of a monitor on it. My last desk did this.

  2. I'm really not liking the whole faction apparel thing...

     

    1: It's annoying as shit having to click "OK" every time you put something on, just tell me at the top of the screen and be done with it!

     

    2: It doesn't fucking work! Put on Powder Gang gear...they still attack me. Maybe this has something to do with my status with them? Doesn't seem to affect anyone else either, where they otherwise SHOULD attack me while wearing it.

     

    Another note, I HATE when people inside are alerted to the fact you kill someone OUTSIDE without even seeing it. Why can't I pop a guard, take his key and go inside without the entire damn place magically knowing I offed him?

     

    I sneak killed the guard at the NCR Jail, and right away all the icons on the map for the other Gang members (All INSIDE!) turned red. WTF?

  3. Wait what!? You guys still don't know the terminal helpers they purposely put in the game, that were present in Fallout 3?

     

    Anything between two brackets [ ] or parenthesis { } or whatever these are called removes a dud, or will reset your # of tries.

     

    On easier terminals, this can sometimes remove all but the answer or 2.

  4. I find respect in that, where people know I can punch the piss out of them...but I don't do it.

     

    When they know you think they aren't even worth your time, but that you will kick their ass around, they tend to smarten up.

     

    Just play the "Silent Type" routine...works well. People get scared when you don't talk, or if you do...not more than 3 words leave your lips, like the calm before a storm.

  5. I just laugh at people like that. I'm very mellow when drunk, but don't fuck with me or that changes fast. Trash talking? I just laugh at them and say "whatever" until they go away.

     

    These are just pansies who don't have the guts to speak their mind without being drunk enough. Often winds up being projected onto strangers even, cause they're such big pussies they can't even say it drunk to who they really want to.

  6. I've got too much PC shit in the house guys...

     

    I just realized a build I put together for MAME in one of my cabs, is actually running better hardware than my current main PC. I'm now sitting here installing Windows again with the hardware swapped.

    Should run this game even better.

     

    Christ...

  7. I play on a 50" Plasma in my living room...so if there was a discernible difference to be seen on the uber-high resolutions people claim (That LCD's can't even do natively and DOWNSCALE anyway) look so much better, I'd see it.

     

    Now a nice big CRT display that CAN display over 1920x1080 (Widescreen or not)...I may agree, but not at resolutions beyond 1600x1200, there is not a consumer grade CRT display large enough that you could POSSIBLY discern ANY difference.

     

    Anyone running a higher resolution than this that claims to see a difference, is a fucking liar...flat out. I have better than 20/20 vision with perfect color pickup, if I can't see it...nobody else can. There's technical limitations too, you ever seen a texture map large enough that this would be noticeable? Show me a 2048x2048 texture that isn't poorly detailed and used at a 1:4 scale anyway....

  8. BTW What do you mean by you can run Crysis fine. Most everyone can run Crysis fine. Its running it maxed out that gives people the e-peen. People act like if you can't max it out you can't play it.

     

    I'm running 5 year old hardware...that's why. Some of my gear doesn't even meet the minimum requirements, yet I can run the game perfectly smooth on medium-high settings at 1024x768. Fallout 3 runs even better for me, maxed out at that resolution.

     

    I won't drop hundreds on new hardware every few months. Nuh uh. Anyone who thinks there is a hugely discernible difference between a resolution like that and something insanely higher is an idiot. Now there's a bit of a difference between that and the widescreen res I run my desktop at, but it hinders my performance. (1360x768), the difference between that and like 25xxx1xxx is imaginary bullshitting on the hardcore's part.

  9. Yeah that's true. All I eat it on is baked potatoes (I only like the bacon bits if it is actual real bacon and not that bacon shit most people use so I don't need it) chip dip and mexican food really. Pretty good for burritos and stuff.

     

    Yeah but your burrito has other flavors in there and sauce and if you like it...Guacamole mmmm. Your burrito isn't just a soft shell, ground beef and sour cream, cause that would be nasty!

  10. Sour Cream is one of those things where it's only good on a few select things, on it's own and with most other things it tastes like SHIT.

     

    There are only 2 instances whereI will eat it, a baked potato but it MUST have bacon bits and green onions. And in my GF's chip dip (Sour Cream, Cream cheese etc). People who put it on perogies and other things, all by it's lonesome disgust me...it's an additive flavor, not a standalone.

  11. Probably not alot of interest in it. The PC98 had a good bit of games released for it, but mainly dating stuff and cheap RPGs outside of well known titles available on a range of platforms.

     

    The FM Towns and X68000 had far more and better titles available, with much higher interest. Yes there are plenty of good games, and well known games, but they were inferior.

     

    I'm honestly surprised anyone even bothered to write and emu for the PC for this, let alone one for the Xbox.

  12. Jalapeno's are what I use to make my hot sauce, but I make mine in a cruel cruel way...you don't want to be in my house while I'm prepping.

     

    I boil mine in vinegar+water until they're shriveled right up and all the oils are floating on top. While doing this, the air in the kitchen is next to impossible to breath without feeling like you're dying.

     

    I then skim all the oil and mix it with a bit of brown sugar and tomato juice. Brown sugar enhances not only the flavor...but the heat.

     

    From there I simply use it as an additive to whatever I'm making. I put it in pasta sauce, chili or even make a chili sauce out of it. Tastes great, but you WILL blow yourself a new asshole after eating it and will want a replacement mouth.

     

    I've done it using Habenero's, but it is just insanely hot...

  13. If your woman doesn't let you have your likes...you need a new woman.

     

    Any woman that says "The games go, or I do" would be told "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!". I have my hobbies, if you don't like em...fuck off.

     

    You can't neglect her though, that's where some guys get it wrong. Just don't let her make you neglect YOU, for her...or she needs to go.

  14. A buddy of mine has a 60 inch plasma that has pretty good image quality but it has this weird burn in issue. If you watch sports or the news where there is stuff that stays still it will burn in for like a day and then be gone the next. It's still like brand new though so maybe this will go away after awhile.

     

    That's Plasma, period.

     

    I turn my TV on in the morning, and while it's still black on-screen, I can still see the in-game lobby burned in from playing MW2 the night before. Goes away shortly after though with something else on-screen.

  15. Ken:

    Very nice TV, I take it you have a media center PC hiding behind it? My TV stand is pretty deep so I do the same thing.

     

    No it's actually sitting off to the right, it's a full-size tower as it's my main PC. Master Chief helmet from Halo 3 Legendary Edition sits on it (Got it NIB for $20...couldn't pass it up as I didn't have Halo 3 yet)

  16. I originally had my 32 in my office, with my consoles there and the old CRT in the living room.

     

    I moved the CRT to the basement for the kids, I no longer have an office so the 32" went in the living room. Suffice it to say, using it from the couch with PC alone made it seem like a postage stamp. Text was hard to read from 8 feet away. Bigger TV was REQUIRED.

  17. My "Man cave" is actually multiples...

     

    Basement spare bedroom has PC/Xbox test rigs with a TV and my 2 Vintage pachinko machines.

     

    Small room in the basement holds my TMNT arcade machine, Magic Worm and my Phoenix Pinball. My servers are in there too.

     

    Garage has my Virtual On arcade machine. Not working yet, haven't had time to put it all back together.

     

    Living room...I recently had to buy a 50" plasma, 32" was really sucking in the living room given the size of the room. Still need to tidy up some, and I have a cable cabinet for behind the TV to hide everything that I've been too lazy to put in.

    All my other games are in 3 metal cases off to the side out of the picture. The left shelf is all 360 games.
