Operation: PC level up
Now the worst of my studies are out the way, I can finally jump on the bandwagon that seems to be this time of year and update my PC. My old machine to say the least has put me through a LOT of bullshit too many times to count (mostly caused by the motherboard) compared to my first computer before that which apart from a CD drive randomly exploding *insert matrix style cd shrapnel dodging flashback here* had a faithful relatively painless 5 year run.

Evesham the company I used to trust for my PC needs, seem to have become shit all of a sudden, lets just say when you tell someone a transistor fell off your computer you don't expect a reply telling you how to turn on your computer like you're an idiot >.>

So now I find myself with a £1500 budget, in the hopes of finding a system thats going to give me value for money like my first PC did, only higher spec obviously =P

Flat screen monitor (it's about time I got with the times, not to mention I could use the desk space =P)

2x 200 gig disk drives

2gig ram or more

wireless network card

2 dvd/cd rws drives

a sound card THAT FUCKING WORKS! (my current one crackles like hell no matter what I do)
and that's it... at least for now... I'd build this by hand, but I'd rather have the warranty and tech support backup rather then be on my own and have to buy spare parts for everything, so the hunt for a good deal begins...

so my questions to you fellow GFFers is

What do you recommend I add to the wishlist?

Will Vista ever stop being a retarded osx wannabe or should I stick with XP?

Since this is probably going to be made by a business and shipped to me any company suggestions?

There are plenty of ways to say no... to this video! (no rly watch it)
Youtube style journal entries have become so common place they've lost their charm in most cases, but as I sit here cursing like a sailor suffering from an annoying flu, something told me I had to share this WTF of a video I just found. For some of you this will be some painful nostalgia, and for everyone else you'll be thinking wtf as much as I did...

Don't do drugs kids the Smurfs and pooh say so...



and alf and garfield...



and the chipmunks...



o_O and bugs bunny?



... *gives up listing them all* stop making parts of my childhood uncool you bastards!



link

Yep I know the characters... I just can't believe they were involved with something so lame. The people behind each of those cartoons may have had good intentions with this, but there's something undeniably creepy about them all in the same show... I got bored by the time they flushed the kid like he was in a giant toilet, but watched until the end for the wtfs alone. I haven't seen this many possible lawsuits since Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Building internets fun...
Well my course is finally in it's last legs but as one of the final tests we were put into a group for designing a charity website for real for a change which is fair enough... except I made the most stupid mistake in the world. Pretty much everyone draws some kinda thumbnails when they're coming up with the designs for something, which I did making 3 pretty good standard design concepts. Then I realised I had an empty corner left over and being the perfectionist I am I decided to fill it with a kinda half assed... 4th... design... then we asked the client which design they wanted.... no prizes for guessing which one they chose...

Spoiler:


so what do you think? The red is frame guides (wouldn't appear on the site) the blue colour is pretty much non negociable and the yellow I dunno what I was thinking at the time @_@ I can probably move the logo to the right to balence it better but geese... besides some gradiant fade abuse on the title how else do I make something this lame work? Maybe I'm just worrying too much actually getting to make something that will be really used for a change...

P.S. someone please post here it hasn't even reached 5 pages

o_o oh god... I failed @ the internets so bad...
So I was browsing around out of boredom wondering if anything I ever posted was in the archives and instead I find this on VG museum... probably the forum topic started by me that resulted in being directed to Gamingforce in the first place years ago...

take a trip back in time.....

Ragnarok Battle Offline FTW
I could do some rant about everything pissing me off right now but that would leave me open to no end of possible jokes at my expence... so instead I shall show the result of 3 friends and boredom though chances are only people who've played ragnarok online will get this

(pictures from this fighting game only edited to add captions, the rest is unedited ingame)









I'm tempted to try a caption game like this with the walking fangasm that is Mugen, but I'm feeling too lazy right now =P

Currently Playing: the game in this journal duh... that and failing @ soul calibur 3

Holy shit!! o_O help please!
Seems I've somehow got myself in the middle of a dangerous hate triangle. I'll try and keep this brief so you arn't bored too much.

On the Deviantart community Person A was in love with person B but they had an arguement about a year ago and broke up. Since then person B has hooked up with person C and also because person B is a very popular, person A ever since then has periodically had his various accounts hacked by a fan of person B and framing him making it seem like he's a complete newb hassling her, disturbing the peace of the DA community and even fucking up his computer on more then one occassion.

Understandly person A is just a little pissed off with this and wants to kick the culprits ass, but I've tried to remain friends with A B and C regardless of all this shit. Fast forward to today and I get a random person add me to msn who was apparently recommended to talk to me by person B but whom has a random hatred for person A... hmm...

Quote:
??? says: well me n my friends want him to pay
??? says: cus he relleh hurt her
??? says: nd he shudnt be allowed to be on DA
SK: says: with all due respect it happened over a year ago now
??? says: tru but i made a pledge to B id avenger her
SK: says: I think the hacker already did that *counts* at least 3 times now?
??? says: im teh hacker i did it all fur her nd he keeps cumin back to da
SK: says: huh?
??? says: he neds to lern to fuk off and leave da forever
SK says: was that you who hacked his sheezyart too?
??? says: it was i did it all for B n C they fuckin rock n I love them
Now I'm left with the dilemma that I could tell person A about the stalker hacker pretty much appearing on my doorstep, but it has the potential to get even more out of control then it already is. After seeing the hell A's been put through, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't the slightest bit scared of pissing the wrong people off...

14th Jan Edit: Wow that kid really was stupid I just had a chat about hackers going to prison and he practically shit himself... problem over
