Doesn't sound familiar. It would help if you could remember the system it was on, and if you can give a timeframe.

I'm not really into TF, but since I'm done with MW2 (and have no other "recent" games), I try it from time to time. But eventhough I'm crap at it, I'd like to play against some real players sometime . Let me know what server I can find you people on, and when, and maybe I'll join a game someday. If I do play, my favourite classes are heavy, medic, and engineer.

The first one: yes. Most will tell you you can skip the 2nd one. I haven't finished it yet, playing half-life at the moment, but I was near the end. It's absolutely not as good as the first, for various reasons, however, I could still stick with it for the story. But the first one is one of my favourite games of all time. What part of it have you played up untill now? Do you know if there's anything specific why you're not getting into it (story, openness, controls etc)?

Unfortunately it's fake (it says so in its description..)! This is the (less impressive) real version:

He's not allowed to thank .

Lazy. But 3 out of the 4 paragraphs have already been explained. That leaves just the handsome man, who targeteded himself, and someone else, who knows something about him.

No wait, the love thing. We can bring him back probably. Do we want to bring him back? I really don't know anymore. But I'm guessing we do. love: mr-paul

Didn't get any offers, sorry Paj.

The way I see it, the mafia went 2 nights without a (succesful?) kill, at this point we can afford to have another no lynch as well, unless you people really need to act upon intuition / suspicion alone.

There's no evidence of a vigilante. His power would be totally useless if there isn't one.

That will go over when it arrives .

Yup, I can speak normally, but I don't have anything to add at the moment. I find it weird though, that there hasn't been a kill yet. Oh, and officially, I'm not allowed to translate new gibberish for you (I may only react to it), however, you seem to do fine without me.

Post pictures of the work in process! They get me to drool almost as much as pictures of hot models :p.

PCI-e is a newer standard, and potentially faster, but for your networkcard, it won't matter (I think). It's mostly a matter of what spare slots you have. Since newer stuff makes use of the PCI-e slots, it's usually the PCI slot which doesn't get used. So it is a perfect match for things like network cards. You could also have bought a wifi dongle, in that case you would use up a USB port instead of your PCI-e slot. I don't have experience with the HannsG brand, but I hear they're good. I'd personally go for the Samsung though, I know they're good. I have a XL2370 myself, which I'm pretty happy about.

The difference on motherboards is purely in features. For every CPU, there is a reference design, so all motherboards have a certain standard functionality. But on top of that, they can load extra features, such as extra USB connections, onboard sound / LAN, extra SATA connections, legacy support (I don't consider that a feature however), and all sorts of extras to cater to overclocking. If you don't go overboard (you aren't, with just the 1 videocard and 1 HD to connect), then you almost don't have to think about it. If you are going overboard, then you'll have to make sure everything's compatible and physically fits. If you really want to know the difference between motherboards, you'd have to give specific examples . As for shops, I can't advise on that, I only have experience with Dutch shops (obviously). But in general, there are several ways of doing things. If you like to build your own computer, and you order seperate components, than you could use a (UK) pricewatch site to painstakingly calculate prices for various combinations of products ordered from a number of shops, factoring in shipping costs. There's a Dutch site which is awesome at this, which keeps track of the prices of several shops, and factors in the shipping costs for you, but I don't know of a UK equivalent. However, I didn't want to get my stuff in too many packages, so I just went with the 2 shops which seemed reliable too me, and together were cheap enough. The other way is to simply buy a complete computer. You could just go to a shop and buy a desktop, like a Dell or Acer or whatever, and they're fine. Or you can go to a specialist, who sells components, but they often also offer to build the computer for you, for a little extra. This is what you seem to be planning now. The advantage is, none of the hassle, and all of the support, just like you would buy a Del, and you still get to select each individual componentl. You're missing out on all the fun stuff though .

Haha.. No fair! :p 14] Dead Space?

Had a quick look at your list.. It looks fine. Personally I'd prefer a ATX motherboard, but that's me. I would skimp on the CPU cooler though, having a 3rd party (and better) CPU cooler is only necessary if you're going to overclock, which I don't think is something you'll be doing, in which case the stock cooler will be fine. And I would spend that and some extra on a better videocard, like a HD6850.

I was more or less joking anyway. I was originally going to suggest some sort of buzzer app .

? With the chat, you agree on a time to start a new round, the host asks questions, then the first to give the right anwser gets a point. With timestamps (I assume there are timestamps, I've never ventured into the chat), it's easy to determine who gets the points. Edit: But never mind.

Is this new guy a comedian or what? :p

Perhaps we should move this to the chat than, make it a proper quiz!
