Does anyone follow what's up with video card hardware nowadays? My Nvidia GT220 seems to have developed an (apparently quite common) overheating problem where the video just cuts out entirely, screen goes black, and the only way to get the computer back up is to hit the power switch and reboot. (And it's not like I'm trying to run Crysis on supermax ultra settings or anything, it does this on Half-Life: Source.)
Anyone have suggestions for a replacement? As much as I'd like to be self-sufficient and do my own research and really pick a winner, the fact is I have no idea what half of the shit on the spec lists for these cards mean and I can't imagine that getting up to speed on all of it would prove to be a fun way to spend my time.
I don't really need the latest and greatest- I just need something that will play games at a mid level of performance and not melt into a pile of red hot slag in a year's time. Is that a stat they put in the spec lists? ETA to meltdown? If they put that in there, I could actually make a decision about this shit.
Have you cleaned the fan and heatsink out? Does the fan still work? You might be able to get a cheep after market replacement cooler for it instead of buying a totally new card.
I was just playing L4D2 on elite (in this instance my suicidal bot allies are all dead). I have just finished soloing a tank and right afterwards I murder a smoker who ensnares me from the corner of my eye, relief. 'Omg' I think, 'another one of those crazy runs'. I proceed down what I believe to be an empty corridor (since I had already cleared it, had to backtrack to beat the tank). I figure then it's safe enough to scratch my nose but during that infinitesimal interval of time a boomer ralphs on me and I die seconds later. Son of a snitch.
edit: oh god just died in the safe room.

That's why you don't play with bots
Also how do i do this
I cannot find My inception bluray- disc or box and yet I have in my had, the dvd disc from the set. Why do I have the dvd? Where did everything else go? Why is this not the first time this has happened?
The NOFX show was amazing last night! If you haven't heard of Old Man Markley you should check them out. Those guys are awesome. NOFX put on a great show as always. For a change of pace they finished up the show by miming this on stage:
I loved Avenue Q, I waited 8 years to see it. Also I can only imagine NOFX made it the best thing ever.
Didn't Teenage Bottlerocket play with them too? I thought I saw they were on tour.
Yeah, The Talli Band opened up. Then it was Old Man Markley. They were really cool. After that was Teenage Bottlerocket. They were crazy high energy on stage. NOFX finished up the show and rocked the house.
I... I googled "minecraft economy" and reached this weird christian forum accusing minecraft of being a tool of satan... On the last page these christian fundamentalists reached the conclusion that god hates rational thinking....O.o wha... I don't even... What the
There was also a guy who was proud of his childhood of playing kick the can, running around outside, and his personal favorite pastime - catching an african american and making him wet his pants
What is wrong with these people... I don't...

Ah, so they've re-named the Archer concept? I've been looking forward to this.
Although the early reports led me to believe that it would be much more stylized than this trailer looks to be, I was picturing something close to what was done for the Book of Kells animated feature.
fug a movie about vikings and dragons =/= a movie about a scottish girl-
well here let me post the synopsis
Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In Brave, a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (Robbie Coltrane). Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch (Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.
I liked the part where Howard Stark decided to build his utopian city underwater and was going to give everyone the ability to shoot bees from their hands.
"I discovered a new element but I decided to squirrel it away since it didn't really help with the bee thing"
Taking off the troll pants for a sec Kochi you should really see Secret of Kells. It's on Netflix Instant and probably some other places troll pants re-activated.

I thought ironman 1 had a lot in common with robocop 1. everything thinks it's crazy but me
I should be "Marsepan" on Steam! I wanna be in forts, shootin' mans!
Sort of? It's a bit of a generic story, but yeah I can see the overlaps minus a dude getting melted by toxic waste.
Also as far as Objectivist media goes Iron Man 2 was still pretty entertaining.

Was it the Daft Punk Soundtrack that did it?

if you're talking about this thread, it's the forum of a parody website, nobody there is sincere
Landover Baptist church is like the Onion's take on the Phelps church

No thanks.

Its looks like HTTYD Redhead Edition
I'm not super into redheads so I don't really see the point.
I'm not into asian boys. Didn't really see the point of Up!.
If they wanted to get it right they would have done it the first time.
[Edit] Oh okay, so it's actually like Secret of Kells.
I don't watch anime so I've never seen it.
It was great.
Also Walt Disney Stark Sr. was the best part about Iron Man 2.
"I discovered a new element but I decided to squirrel it away since it didn't really help with the bee thing"
is the plot actually similar at all
or are they just both stylish and scottish and involving kids
Also, I can never tell when Fug is kidding and how much.
edit: rolo I'm so bloody naive. Thanks, my day is saved.
Fug I'm gonna rip off them troll pants and spank your troll bum.
yeah I looked it up, brown bears until around the 10th century
Alright
It's on My List
Speaking of remakes, they should remake Spawn. Easily my favorite childhood superhero.
You should go back and try re-read Spawn now that you're older.
the dialogue is mèh at times, but the backdrops/ design is sooo wonderful.
Oh my god, for a game I have never felt even the slightest desire to play, just about every Eve Online story I hear is pure gold.
