Weirgin!

It's not a camera. It's a Nikon.

Johnathan no home!
Rosario, it's ME, Johnathan.
Oh. You sound so far away.

Cheryl Brewster. The spy from Pittsburgh.

It's Evil! EEEEVIL!

This is what happens when you get dancers instead of actors.
Still, I can't say I never watched or enjoyed the movies.
Also, JEAN CLAUDE VAN DAMME?

I'm the Shogun of Harlem!

Nicole Kidman. I even had a crush on her then.

Never saw this.

Saw it. Know the basic plot still, don't remember much of the movie though.

Never saw it.

Anyone who's never seen this must have been living in a cave for the last 50+ years.

I triple dog dare you!

Never actually saw this.

What's your record for consecutive asked questions?
38

Only place you can get away with using "One Eyed Willie" in a kid's flick Mr. Frodo!

Had me praying for a red invasion so I could pick up some guns and go out to play war...

God I was a ******* when I was a kid.
Good to see some things never change.

Save Ferris!

One thing I couldn't stand about Santa Carla. All the damn vampires...

Never actually saw this one.

TWO DOLLARS! NO! I CAN'T SWIM! AUUUGH!
Two brothers. One speaks no english. The other, learned by watching Wide World of Sports...
No. TENtacles. Big difference.

Never saw this either.

It's a moral imperative...
My father, y'know, God...

Never saw this either, either.

Know I saw this, but it was so long ago and only saw it once.

As I noted, I made 128K off my green inspie and 20 off my red (after market fees). Now that's abnormally high for BOTH. Normally I wind up right around 45-55K after all is said and done.

On most of my newer characters, I have several million built up as a "nest egg" before they hit L10. This way, when I want to buy something, I don't have to make do. I just go out and buy it. And, if there's nothing I want at the moment, I re-invest it and make MORE. This way, if I hit L50, and want to buy myself a couple purples at "BUY IT NAO!" pricing, I do so.

Denying combat after the tutorial means you're making the money solely from the market. Not from the luck of a drop. Maybe I'm just being anal. But as this is the marketing forum.

And why "require" the tutorial? Because it's completely standard. You always get the two TOs and two large inspirations. So everyone starts off equally with identical "funds".

My brand new Fire/Rad in MidLevel Crisis spent about 30-ish minutes last Monday in AE with an all Fire/Rad team and came away with a -KB recipe that sold for 6 million.

I'm not really sure that's very repeatable.

I look at it as "Making money on the market". Which precludes killing stuff and random rolls.

I pulled about 500K during a dead time. During an evening, or weekend logon, I could probably do better.

Via farming/teaming and/or raiding an SG, yeah, easy. I could dump my bins right now and pull down 2 million easily.

Incorrect. You start with 2 TOs which can be vendored and two large Inspirations. This will net you approximately 25-140K blue-side.


Hence, vendoring the two L1 TOs.

Wrong.

Try vendoring the two TOs then tell me this.

2 needs to be there because you start with nothing otherwise.
3 needs to be there because otherwise nothing stops you from joining a farm (which also would probably fall afoul of "no twinking").

The idea being you make the money from nothing but the tutorial drops. Making the money solely from marketing skill from that point on.

I'd codify the challenge thusly:

The Ebil Marketer Newbie Challenge

1. Start with a brand new character
2. Complete the tutorial (dropping a mission to save time is legit)
3. Fight nothing else outside the tutorial
4. No twinking of any sort (including raiding an SG's bins)
5. No event salvage (since the availability of event salvage is severely time specific and your achievement isn't repeatable outside of the purview of the holiday event).
6. You have exactly 30 consecutive minutes from first spawning into the tutorial.
7. All salvage, enhancements, inspirations, and recipies (outside of the startup "capital" of the two TOs and the two inspirations you get from the tutorial) must come from the market
8. Use of an SG base for "craft and sell" is permissible so long as it's the newbie crafting them. No giving the stuff to someone with crafting discounts or memorized recipes (see "no twinking").
9. Making use of an available summonable crafting station from a Field Crafter is permissible.

Anyone see any problems with this?
Have anything you'd like to add or subtract?

I was actually trying to avoid this route as the presents are only there for a short part of the year.

I took the challenge of "in 30 minutes" as "consecutive time".

Without that, yeah, any idiot could do it.

Pretty much. It's a "fanboy tax" thing.

As I know the people responsible for the certification, I can tell you.

Essentially it means the cards will fit, mechanically, in the case and the fit isn't so tight that the cards cook themselves due to bad case convection.

It does NOT mean that it's the only case that'll do so. Merely that someone paid nVidia money to make sure theirs would so they could slap a badge on it.

Which is why I linked the way I did. The tone of the original message I responded to was somewhat...skewed. Now maybe I was imagining it, but that sort of brand bashing (for a product that isn't even available yet) has always been like nails on a chalkboard to me, and I'm too stupid to just let it pass by unanswered.

I fail to see where the word "required" was used.

No. Meaning it hasn't been certified yet. That is all. It could be for any number of reasons, yours is just one of them.

Nemesis is a piker!

I call FUD.

If you actually read the article and the attached image, it states that the case is optimized for systems sporting Triple and Quad SLI setups (which are already notably warm-running). This means they're ridiculously overkill for single-card solutions.

And the use of 200mm and 230mm fans in cases isn't exactly new technology here. And please note the second link especially. It shows that the case you linked to is little more than a branded rework of a pre-existing chassis.

With this in mind, the way you've portrayed it is inappropriate.

I call bull.

If your sole arbiter in this process is the star rating You Are Doing It Wrong.

Which is why going solely by star rating is so dain-bramaged in the first place.

And, I repeat, I call bull.

The star system is merely one more classification system in the search parameters.

Correction. How you rate arcs is nothing more than how YOU rate arcs.


In other words you have an even worse rating system. Binary. One and zero, effectively.

You have my condolences.

The problem is the motion video recording process is adding load to memory, disk I/O, and CPU.

You have a couple things happening.

• Regular OS I/O load
• Regular game I/O load (where you're seeing 60fps)
• Frame recording I/O load (mainly CPU/RAM, which is detracting from your framerate)
• Video encoding I/O load (mainly CPU/RAM, which is detracting from your framerate)
• Application buffering and final file output to disk (mainly disk I/O, which is competing with the OS and game for throughput to the hard drive)

Things you can do to reduce I/O load and bring framerates up.

1. Reduce resolution. This will reduce the load on the machine and free up more system resources for the recording and encoding.
2. If the program uses it's own paging file, set it to another PHYSICAL disk on your system.
3. For the final file output, specify a location on another PHYSICAL disk.

The first solution will reduce stresses primarily on memory and CPU resources.

The last two will reduce disk I/O and stop the video recording from competing so fiercely with the OS and the game.

Okay, so far we have a coalition with telepads to:
*Edited! Added two more pads and 4 beacons*

• Pocket D
• King Row
• Steel Canyon
• Skyway City
• Atlas Park
• Founder's Falls
• Peregrine Island
• Galaxy City
• Talos Island
• Independence Port
• Croatoa
• Faultline

The SG is Freikorperkultur in the coalition menu

If we do place TP pads, I'd say place beacons for the ones not currently covered there. That'll give us time to build up more prestige for the first tier of discrete control and power devices.

The chip for the graphics solution is inadequate.
Additionally, HyperMemory basically means it's sharing system RAM instead of having it's own dedicated memory.

I'm unsure of what your budget looks like, but something like this would probably be more appropriate for CoH.

ASUS K50 Series K50AB-X2A AMD Turion X2 RM-75(2.20GHz) 15.6" 4GB Memory 320GB HDD DVD Super Multi ATI Mobility Radeon HD ... - Retail

It works just fine for me on my work box.

You may need to set compatibility to XP SP3, or run with admin privs, or sometimes even turn down UAC, depending on what the issue is.

Other times, like me, it just works straight out of the gate.

Go figure.
