They can't handle the stress of playing PB, that's all. They're all just a big bunch of pussies that like their games spoon fed to them with little to no thought. Sure, PB has its problems, but all mods do. PB is a fantastic mod, just needs more maps.

I feel that the community will embrace newer games (such as Killing Floor) and will continue to grow. The servers will thrive on this and will contain a community of their own. Where it's a public server but plays like a private one. You know most of the people and know that they actually want to play and not screw around. Gaming will eventually shift to a new paradigm that, I believe, SG will embrace. While SG isn't the largest community, it is definitely growing and the base community is player-centric with many ideals that players enjoy, such as hosted servers and monthly gatherings. I think SG is too big to die. Should Haggard leave, someone else will rise up and take his place. There are too many passionate people here to let this site and community wither.

Medical Marijuana has a lot of uses and when it becomes legal (no longer a question of 'if'), a lot of pharmaceutical companies will be going out of business. Marijuana helps reduce pain, relieves symptoms of many diseases and is non-lethal. There is no recorded case of anyone, ever, overdosing on marijuana. There are also very few cases of marijuana related violence (outside of buying/selling) like there are with alcohol. Pot doesn't make you angry or prone to violence. I've never smoked it but I am an advocate of it. It is a useless drug to penalize people for. It causes over crowding in jail and ruins lives. All for a harmless plant, one that can be smoked without any processing or chemicals. Personally, I think all drugs should be legalized and taxed. Everyone owns their own body, they should be able to do what they want with it. As long as what they do does not harm anyone else it should be legal. The only reason why marijuana is illegal is because of the threat of hemp used to replace clothing and other industrial needs. It is amazingly strong and cheap to manufacture. All the bullshit scare tactics from the 50's and 60's are false. Anyone who thinks that marijuana should be illegal needs to get their head out of their ass and do some research on it. It is an amazing drug that could help a lot more people than you think. It's not an evil thing that keeps parents up at night. It's not something we need to waste billions on trying to stop. It's something that can be used, not only an aide for people in need, but also as income for the country. The money made by taxing marijuana is also compounded by the people not sent to jail for owning or smoking it. Legalize it.

Dear Leon, You son of a professional. I'll meet you, then I'll train you again just for failing with me. You failure you. Sincerely, Raven.

According to your profile, you're 17. The internet most definitely existed 13 years ago.

I hate you for bringing that back.

That was over 10 years ago. I don't remember. Sorry.

Dear Leon, You son of a generous mother. I'll remember you, then I'll mourn you again just for playing with me. Miss you. Sincerely, Raven.

It's a product slogan. I enjoy these: http://www.lotsofjokes.com/condom_selection.asp

Play moar

I've done that many a time when a T asks 'What are the rules?' and the CTs are too stupid to announce anything. Not sure if that's against the rules (I can't imagine it being, unless the person was constantly doing it and ignored the CTs/Ts request to stop), but it's funny to watch the CTs go apeshit trying to control everything. PS: PB is a great way to relieve stress depending on the kind of day you had. Angry at the bosses, you play as a T and stab the mother fuckers. Angry at the customers, you play a CT and boss everyone around. It's quite relaxing.

Thems fighting words.

That brings back memories. I used to be somewhat like that when I was play Counter-Strike in the late 90's. I would always get pissed off and yell when I died. I wouldn't threaten the people, I'd just throw a 5 second hissy-fit. We didn't have mics back then.

FiOS.

Very nice growth. Glad to see a great community expanding its membership. Can you do a member count by month?

Are you wearing a cape? If so, that's fucking bad ass.

It has nothing to do with enemies or adversaries. It's just how networked viruses work. I worked for my campus's internet security group. When Blaster and Korgo hit we were inundated with trying to block off those ports and notifying the person that owns the PC to get it fixed. Hundreds, if not thousands, of computers were affected on our campus alone. It had nothing to do with someone running an executable or having some script kiddie 'hack' their system. It was just a networked worm that used an open Windows vulnerability to compromise, and spread through, many systems. Anyway, I have nothing more to say on this matter. You've made your point and I've made mine. I just want to make sure people get all the information needed to make the correct choice.

Most graphics cards on older laptops, and a lot of modern ones, cannot be swapped out. They are built into the motherboard. What's the model of the laptop? There might be some guides on how to take it apart (it's not always as easy as unscrewing it and having a look inside.)

You should be able to log into the router on a PC that's connected to it. Look up the manual for your router for the IP and default login/password. Typically, it's 192.168.1.1 with a login as admin and the password is blank.

Could have some gunk stuck under the mouse button that's preventing it from depressing the switch all the time. You can try to take it apart (usually 1-3 screws) and checking out the mouse buttons. A Q-Tip and rubbing alcohol can be used to clean it as the alcohol will evaporate and not cause any harm. Your best bet is to get a new mouse. I recommend the Logitech MX518.

It's not that Windows Vista uses a lot of memory, it's that Vista is optimized to take advantage of unused resources. It might look like it's using 1.6GB/2.0GB, but the moment a program runs and needs memory, Vista clears it up. It's quite intelligent and a very smart move. Windows 7 does the same thing but it uses even less than Vista. With Vista, I had about 2-2.5GB/8GB used at any given moment. In Windows 7, it's using 1.9GB currently. Granted, I have a shitton of RAM, but at work I only have 2GB and it utilizes about 400MB.

Virtual Dub is probably one of the more popular free video editing softwares out there. Adobe Premiere Express (http://www.Photobucket.com) is decent, though extremely lacking on any advanced filters/techniques. Honestly, if you want to do video editing, get Adobe Premiere Pro or Sony Vegas. Both are outstanding products and far superior than WMM. There is a bit of a learning curve but it's not that hard and you don't need to use all the features. I think Sony Vegas is easier to pick up and learn than Premiere, simply because Premiere has some of the more mundane shit hidden away in not-so-obvious places.

I suppose. I really, really liked the IceMat but there was something off with it that kept causing scraping noises with several mice I tried. I replaced the teflon tape several times and it'd be fine for a few days and then continue with the horrific noise. It just wasn't worth it, to me at least. It is a great mouse pad and coaster :bigsmile:

I never played GMod, let me know when you guys play, I'm kind of interested now.
