Pie™ Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 They cover Nine Inch Nails ("Head Like A Hole")?
Pho3nix Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 @ TiE: Those CD's look so much like they could have been made using the "album cover game". Lulz. Me too actually.
BongoBob Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 They cover Nine Inch Nails ("Head Like A Hole")? Yes, and it's fan-f***ing-tastic. Dark-lyrics, dark-song, but sung happy-go-lucky with a happy beat.
jon_hill987 Posted September 5, 2008 Posted September 5, 2008 Nice car dude Thanks, indeed it is. My bank balance doesn't think so though...
Rogue Nine Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 My birthday stuffs: Plus an awesome personalized video from one of my bestest friends <3 All in all, not a bad haul. :3
DarthAve Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 ~jaw unhinges and dangles from braces rubber bands~ Really, I had no idea.... I just made my friend a personalized movie for her birthday.....
Rogue Nine Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 It was kind of a joke gift. I'd already read the book and told my friend how I didn't like it all that much, so naturally she gets it for me.
Dath Maximus Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 I just made my friend a personalized movie for her birthday..... sounds sketchy
leXX Posted September 7, 2008 Posted September 7, 2008 My birthday stuffs: Soooooooooooo full of pure win! Make sure you watch the mini series of BG first, just in case you are new to it (which I very much doubt, but just in case).

Rogue Nine Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Make sure you watch the mini series of BG first, just in case you are new to it (which I very much doubt, but just in case). The North American release of Season One comes with the miniseries, so no worries there. And I'm definitely not new to BSG, but it's so good to have it on DVD and the ability to watch it whenever I like now.

A few queries, though... Why'd you go with AMD? The Intel line of quads is by and large still superior to anything AMD puts out and at pretty much the same price. And you got 4 GBs of RAM, but not an OS that can recognize all of it, why?

And you got 4 GBs of RAM, but not an OS that can recognize all of it, why?I like AMD and to be honest I'm not too worried about a few FPS' difference. With the cooler I'm probably going to be able to OC to ~3 Ghz, that'd be nice too. I thought about getting Vista 64, but I've tried Vista and I dislike it. RAM shouldn't be a problem anytime soon, anyway... How'd the pricing for that turn out? Do you have the overall cost? The overall pricing, including shipping and rebates, is ~ $1160.
BongoBob Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Where did you order the parts from, Newegg?
Samuel Dravis Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 Yeah. I kept checking Pricewatch but all the prices from Newegg were right, so I decided just to get everything there.

I thought about getting Vista 64, but I've tried Vista and I dislike it. *Shudders* Uhhggg... Oh, and before I forget, two games I've bought over Steam recently: $10 - Really fun, even got the sequel from Goozex for $1 and 100 points, which is $5 in fake money. $40 - Got a small discount, which fit perfectly for the sales tax... because of the stupid delay I paid for it in full and tried to then obtain it in a morally questionable way, sadly I screwed up with that and will have to still f*ckin wait. AAAARRRHHGGG!
Pho3nix Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 I thought about getting Vista 64, but I've tried Vista and I dislike it. What's there to dislike? :|

TiE23 Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 YEP TIE THAT'S PRETTY MUCH EVERY XP DESKTOP EVER EVER Don't be a jerk, I did too pimp out my desktop a ton myself when I had XP. But still, no DirectX 10 and no MEGA RAM! :V

TiE23 Posted September 9, 2008 Posted September 9, 2008 tie needs 8 gigs of ram because he is a professional video editor and renders high def 3d animations while playing portal and listening to teddy bear music forgot about all that sry bro I actually have two very cheap 1GB sticks of RAM with a 8800GT and a 6400+ AMD AM2 socket CPU inside of a refurbished Compaq tower that I bought over a year ago for under $400 - just replaced the RAM and CPU, and added a nice video card. Also, you should ask IG-64 about that kind of stuff with the editing and animation and shizzle... and don't dis Honest Bob, Bongo and I will both stomp your ass out. >:V
