in New graphics card is here! Post #132099
A 9600XT is the best I can afford right now. Got it for $70 (including shipping) so it was a bargain. Its not the best but anything is better than my Dell with its ancient 9000. Once I get the money Ill be upgrading to a X850XT. Or actually I might get the X800GT since they are only around $150 and have either the X800XT or X850XT core. If Im lucky I could unlock to whichever one I happen to get.

Dont worry about the cooling m0p, I got that monsterous block of copper known as the Tower112.

If you think that were gonna run out of oil soon its not actually the case. The state of Colorado alone is sitting on top of more oil than the entire Middle East. Well over a trillion barrels. Only problem is that it is in a form called oil shale, which is more difficult to extract. But now that oil prices are going up they are researching how to extract it and hopefully find a cheap way to do it. Too bad our politicians are too dumb to realize this.

in What Made You a Mapper? Post #131350
A long time ago in a galaxy far away, 7 years ago at the age of 13, I got Half-Life. Worldcraft, as it was called many many ages ago, came with HL on the CD. I tried making a few maps, they sucked, I found it confusing. I made maps on and off in the years following. At which point I got CS and decided I wanted to make multiplayer maps. That is when I joined this site.

Good Idea. This wasnt intended to be a humor thread.

And dont you guys go around thinking all America is fat. Colorado is the skinniest state in the US with only about 14% of people overweight. Just states like Alabama (lots of fat rednecks and swamp hicks) that throw off the statistics.

Im about 140lbs at 5'10" so Im slightly underweight for my height. No matter how much I eat I never gain a pound. Only way that I can put on any weight is to work out and gain some muscle. But I dont that have much muscle either :

But seriously fat people annoy the hell out of me. Like today I was shopping for some clothes and all the shorts were like L, XL, XXL and XXXL. They were all for fat people of different fatness! I was lucky enough to find an M size hidden in there.

I just think its very rude and offensive. I think burning a flag of any country shows a lot of disrespect. Now you could show a burning picture of Bush and I woulndt care.

The US flag does not represent the government. It represents us a people. It represents the people who have died defending this nation. It is a symbol of the freedom we have fought to protect, even against ourselves (Civil War).

We are not all warmongering rednecks, even if our president is. Dont judge our nation by our leaders. Politics is full of greed and corruption in any society.

Just show a little respect. A burning flag, to me, is a symbol of hatred.

I think Seventh needs to mature a little. I find that picture to be very offensive. You shouldnt take a stand for peace and at the same time promote hatred and violence. That is what we call a hypocrite.

I see Seventh unfit to be a mod since he is supposed to keep such radicalism out of the forums, especially since this a mapping forum.

The M-4 is real, police issue. And as long as you hold the gun correctly then its not gonna fly up and hit you in the face.

Target ammo is pretty cheap. And its not really wasting it since target ammo is made for, well, targets.
Posted 18 years ago2005-08-25 11:45:46 UTC
in The real thing Post #129676
how was the recoil on the rifle?
The M-4 is pretty heavy so it absorbs most of the recoil. The scoped rifle (forgot the model) had a moderate recoil, but was still pretty easy to control. Nothing compared to the recoil of a 12-gauge magnum shotgun. Thatll bruise you if you dont hold it right.

I also got to shoot a .45 cal Ruger handgun, a .40 cal Glock, two .22 cal pistols, a .44 magnum revolver and a .357 magnun revolver (like the one in HL1 and HL2) and even a Civil War era Colt Navy Revolver.

Overall I liked the revolvers and the M-4 the best.

Nice! But I dont think people should have access to fire weapons. For example, HrnyGoat could have gone berserk, killing the person next to him !! nervous - :nervous:
What was in the target you were shooting at? Combine troops would be a nice target there... mmm
The guy next to me is the range safety officer. He makes sure that kind of stuff doesnt happen ;)

And I was just shooting at paper targets. Nothing special.

in Which CPU is better? Post #129108
But seriously, m0p is right about the Pentium M. Ive seen the benchmarks for them and they dominate any other processor in gaming benchmarks. An $800 Pentium M can kick a $1,000+ FX-57 ass in gaming benchmarks. And you can complain that theres no dual PCIe, but the R520 (X900 series) will supposedly outperform two 7800GTX's in SLI - and its going to be availible for AGP. Why else has ATI taken so long on it and been so secretive about it? A Pentium M plus an X900/950XT PE will be unstoppable in games.

- Reduce maximum avatar size to something sensible;
Nooo! Thats what I love about this site is the large avatars! Maybe have an option in the user preferences to scale the avatars down if they are above a certain size? That way we can keep our avs and people who dont like the size can have them scaled down. I have a fairly good sized screen and the the avs look just fine to me.
Bring back the green thread icons!
I want them back too. Maybe some radioactive blue too ;)
