Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Oct 19, 2004 6:48pm PDTI keep thinking I should give Americas Army another shot, it's just so strange that the game hasnt grabbed me yet when it really just seems like something so many people enjoy. To be clear though I dont apply this philosophy everywhere... (anal) as there are some things (anal) that just arent my thing. I'm sure of it. Anyways!

I've only waited 1 1/2 months, and paid for it, 1 1/2 months ago. Please, for me, your humble servant - so I can fuck shit up in CS:S.

I posted this earlier - http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=8808122 - and got a shackmessage from someone asking me how to do something, so I recorded one of those narrated desktop help videos. But 'eh, if anyone else wanted a step by step "follow my mouse" type narrated guide, knock yourself out -> http://staging.granite-nmp.com/temp/tutorial_aquaballs.wmv (5meg)
It might be a bitch to try and keep up with my crazy accent - but you have to keep it quick or the file size gets huge.

Was playing Aztec yesterday and the big open area was covered by just me and one other guy and 6 T's can running out, I capped every last one of them!!! That kind of thing happened several times in a row and all I gotta say is, doing well in a game like CS can be VERY exhilirating. But doing bad can be SOOOOOO frustrating.
Anyway, anyone hedging on this game, i HIGHLY recommend giving it a shot. Even with the bugs its still more fun than I've had in an FPS in a very long time.

Also, hey dumbasses, if you were that worried about my trustworthiness or drug use, you shouldn't have waited until 3 weeks into a 6 week engagement to ask for this stuff.

It has been brought to my attention that I may have too many players on my CS:S server which is degrading the quality of the fun times. Personally, I like larger games as more people can play with each other. My view is that if people like smaller games, they can go to smaller player servers. But someone mentioned to me that if I lowered my player count to stop hogging all of the players, it would increase traffic to the smaller player count servers and make everyone happy. Or something. So I put to you this question. What player counts do you enjoy playing with?
IMPORTANT: The following poll can only be voted on from the IP on which you have joined my server. If you have not played on my server, your opinion does not count and you can't vote. If you have a dynamic IP, I'm sorry but you can't vote either. Only those with the IPs that match the ones I have in my server logs can vote on this poll.

Thank you for your time and I hope you continue to enjoy CS:S and the Shack servers.

Advanced Micro Devices "has gotten much better" at producing technology, [Dell CEO Kevin] Rollins said, but he indicated that AMD would have to overcome several impediments before Dell would buy its processors. For one thing, Dell customers aren't really asking for AMD processors, he said.
They can't ignore the DIY market trend forever. Then again, most Dell customers can't distinguish between RAM and hard drive space, right?

I really like the idea of a 5 versus 5 CS:S tournament. I like it so much that I will try and take somewhat of a lead on it. Hopefully Haiku, Rydogg, Ashke or Bricolage will allow us to use the servers for this.
Since I have very little programming knowledge I will simply put everyone's name into a spreadsheet and randomly assign teams. After this is done I will post the teams, and set up matches etc. I was thinking of a single elimination tournament, but if someone has a better idea then I'm all for it. So if you want to be in the tournament reply to this thread. I will repost this in FP and tonights ER to give people ample opportunity to reply. And please only reply if you are serious about playing.

HEIDI KLUM
Made my way out to Copley Center in Boston the other day to meet my future wife, Heidi Klum. Here's a picture of her totally all over my Cack o_O
http://home.comcast.net/~taigaidin/HeidiWantsMyCack.jpg
The Cack is of course our indomitable house mascot, loved the world over. Not only did the Cack help me score with Ms. Klum, he also landed me an interview with Access Hollywood which, barring them cutting it (crossing fingers), should air tonight at 7:00pm (check your local listings). I'll be the one babbling about how hawt Heidi is and attempting to strangle out a coherent reason as to why I'm attempting to show a super model my pet faux rooster. Also, here's a picture of me with my buddy Frank who helped me totally scam the above snapshot even when security told us no more photos, just to prove that I'm not totally unphotogenic (only when around supermodels apparently).

On my room computer, I have a GeForce 3 Ti200 and I heard the fan making a odd loud whirring noise, which hasnt happened before. I bumped the case a little then it was like a jumpy whirring noise, like ".....whur....whur...whur". At first I thought it may be the CPU fan, but I took of the side of the case and sprayed both with compressed air then turned it on again, and I could clearly see it was the GPU fan :(. So I take out the card, unscrew the fan, spray it more with compressed air so its clean. Screw it back in. Pop it back in, same thing! So should I just try to replace the fan on the GeForce 3 Ti200}? And if so, what should I look into getting?
btw, this isn't my gaming machine, so I dont really want to buy a new video card for it .
