Can't find these videos anywhere, hoping someone might have them archived.

Anyone seen anything like this? Spent a few minutes trying to replicate it with no luck.

I do okay with Gaming builds, but my old man needs a decent build for graphic and video editing.

He needs to be able to run Illustrator, Photoshop, Vegas/Premier and some other misc programs at the same time while dealing with 50-100gig image files. No gaming will be done.

Target budget is about $800, especially considering he's using a BestBuy $500 laptop from a year or two ago, anything is basically an improvement. SSD for programs would be cool with HDD for storage. And I've got a Hyper 212 EVO Cooler Master laying around unopened, but I doubt it fits in a mini tower?

And he likes the idea of a mini tower for easy mobility, unless there's a decent laptop on the market. He has peripherals, and it doesn't need to look nice.

Have at it!

The movie thread reminded me of this.

My buddy sent me a scratch track him and his guitarist recorded. I decided to watch a video while listening. Of the 400+ videos I've got, I decided to watch Mercurial. Half way through the video and song, this happened:

Even the last few seconds are great.

Illuminati must be real.

4th contender for the spot! Where's this Brian Kuh fella??

More or less funding for QL????

Step 1: Release crummy CoD/CS clone that everyone plays (but better in the sense that it attracts more idiots)
Step 2: Wait for player-base to build.
Step 3: Series of patches over the course of 1-2 years:
3a - Customizable content/HUD, noob friendly drag/drop widget style like android phone
3b - Add cheesy UT movement perks like the new CoD or Titanfall or whatever
3c - Introduce health/armor items in map
3d - Add weapons to map
3e - Upgrade UT movement to strafejumping
.... eventually you will just have Quake again.
Step 4: Watch hundreds of thousands of people unwittingly play Quake.


It's so easy even I could think of it.

Official average of 5 record.

I've been diggin' around. I built a new comp (not ordered yet) and I'm wondering if monitors are REALLY starting to compete with CRT's. Mine is starting to go out (although I think something is just loose or a bad connection somewhere). I figure if I'm spending the money on a comp, I'll just throw in a monitor with it...

Blurbusters Lightboost:
Supported Monitors: ASUS: VG248QE, ASUS VG278H, ASUS VG278HE,
BENQ XL2411T, BENQ XL2420T (Euro), BENQ XL2420TE (US/CAN), BENQ XL2720T

The only people I know with 120hz monitors have the BENQ XL2420TE, they're pretty happy with it, but they aren't as nitpicky as some of us CRT users. I was going to go with it, but it appears to be somewhat out of date (and out of stock) compared to the BENQ XL2420Z v2 Firmware?

I just want to know if any of these really perform better than CRT, or if they beat CRT in certain regards, but not others. Is the BENQ XL2420Z really worth $100 more than the TE or the ASUS VG248QE? Price isn't too much of an issue, but I'm conscientious about it.

For 11 years I've played with 25 sensitivity, and XP sensitivity at 8/11. The mouse I use is years older than XP itself. **

I never got rid of mouse accel, I didn't even know about it until 5-6 years into serious gaming. Now I'm quite comfortable with it.

My problem is that I recently lowered my sensitivity from 25 to 10 in CS:S to play surf maps, and raised my accel from 1.05 to 1.1 so my quick flicks/strafing felt the same instinctually.

Now that I'm craving to go back and play some Quake/TFC, I'd like to match my new sensitivity in XP itself. I've read through the MarkC guides and checked a few other threads/options out, but I don't really have DPI(?)

Is there an easy way to just mimic the curve knowing my before and after sensitivities?

That's right, it has a ball.
I've played on several high-end 'gaming' mice and they all feel cheap. Like Fast-n-Furious vs a Steamroller. This guy still has another solid 20 years in it!


Thanks for any help!
