First Post!
by Maarten Goldstein, Sep 26, 2004 10:22am PDTLooking at the ShackReviews update, the amount of new releases is really unreal. And it will continue to be bad until the end of the year. There's no reason releases can't be spread out more during the course of the year, except for perception and financial quarters that look good to stockholders. It sure seems stupid doing it like this, but I guess publisher smarty menz gave it a lot of thought. Tried out the new UT2004 content last night, and really enjoyed the new ONS-IslandHop and ONS-Urban maps. The new vehicles are a lot of fun as well, especially the Cicada. Kudos to Epic for always coming out with the free extra content. And this morning, after a few frustrating attempts at trying to get a medal out of the F1 Grand Prix special event in Burnout 3, I went back and checked if there were any other races I hadn't finished yet. Thankfully that was the case and a few other events have unlocked since, allowing me to avoid that GP for now. It's the only race where I just keep crashing, because of those damn cars. And four races too. Grr! Also on FileShack

God: Then I don't know that.
Bender: Cool cool! I bet a lot of people pray to you huh?
God: Yes, but there are so many asking so much. After a while you just sorta tune it out.
Bender: Y'know, I was God once.
God: Yes I saw. You were doing well until everyone died.

So i got my 9800 pro a couple days ago and i'm still having problems.
I tried changing the drivers several times, unplugging most of the devices connected to the psu, turning off fast right and also vpu recover, and now im short on ideas.
It runs games perfectly without a prom but, in windows it gives a black screen for a few seconds then pops up a vpu recover window.
this seems to happen many times in a row and not for about the first half hour of use. so this led me to think that maybe it was being overheated. so the next time it happend i touched the heatsink on the card, but it seemed pretty cool. On the back of the card however right underneath the heatsink on the pcb it was pretty hot, hot enough so that if i left my finger there for about 5 seconds it would hurt.
After that i also realised the little heatsink near the bottom of the card, not sure what it is covering, was also pretty hot. Has anyone had this problem with your 9800's? i looked online and saw some ppl were having some heat problems but couldnt really find an answer as to what to do. The part that i find weird is that it runs games fine, which i thought would cause it to be at its maximum heat, but it is in windows where the problems occur.
Any ideas at all? thanks...

Just to let everyone know what's going on with the Guild Wars stuff.

They are picking the first guild for alpha invites at the end of the month. Let's try to be an active group in ALL the forums for this last week. Try to make a stand out. I'm pretty sure Kill Cult is out because of all the dumbass shit they've said on the forums. Idiots.

I kinda liked the first one - pretty classic horror with some cool dualities going on. Then there was the sequel which was almost a remake of the first but without any of the cerebral or moral connections and ambiguities. It was the stuff that Scream parodied and perfected, and that Scary Movie ridiculed so well. Also, it ruined a pretty pensive ending for the original with which so many connections could have been made.
I just had a city revolt on me. It used to be the Gaulic capitol, until I destroyed them, so it was nice and large and such. I decided I would be benevolent in my victory and simply occupy it instead of shipping slaves across my growing empire. This worked well, while I had my conquering army in place.
I then decided I was wasting my faction leader in a garrison role, and moved most of my army out, planning to cross my empire and begin a campaign in the east. I leave 3 hastati units as a garrison, figuring that should be enough to keep the plebes from revolting.
Not so. No sooner do I leave than there's a large revolution and like 700 citizens are killed, along with 50 soldiers. I immediately turn my army around and take the town back. This time, I want to leave no stone standing. Sure, I can exterminate the population... which I did, killing over 3000 of the little bastards, but I want to sew the ground with salt, leave no stone standing, etc.
The city still exists. This is unacceptable. >:(

So after playing against the AI for a few months, I decided to give C&C Generals a try online. Lost 10 games in a row....and each game was the exact same thing. Some cheap ass rush of some type in the first 2 minutes....either choppers or super planes or some crap like that.
I realize I'm mostly bitter cuz I suck, but still.....somewhat lame.

I tried to bleed the air out. But I think I did it wrong. I saw 2 1/2 inch metal tubes coming form the radiator with plastic caps on them. One said "L" the other "H". I assumed these were bleed valves to get he air out of the coolant system. so I pressed their little pins in with a pair of pliers. Once the air stopped streaming out and my car was warm my coolant system seemed to be doing a damn fine job.
But I noticed my air conditioner no longer has any effect on the temperature of the air coming out of the vents.
So did I just vent ozone depleting regrigerants into the atmosphere rendering my AC useless and in need of a recharge?

How are these pups? Compared to Mazda Protege5? They look pretty sporty although not a fast car by any means. The 6 speed sounds fun though.
I need more options in case I can't find exactly what I want for the price. These seem alright... although it fucking sucked in PGR2. :/
