In other news my flash drive decided to eat it today... thankfully it is a corsair and they have basically a no questions asked replacement policy. Unfortunately I still get shafted by return shipping.

That reply was brief because I typed it on my phone while eating. Elaborating on the RAM bit, my ram was sold as DDR3 1600 and 1.65 v and intel claims that that would cause it not to boot with my processor but my motherboard recognizes it as 1333 and 1.5v so I am just suspecting that kingston advert...

The cpu won't get sent out til friday from me and has a few day turn around so I have some time to order a psu tester. Second, any recommendations on a psu tester? what about just tes...

Update:

New motherboard came in, rev 3.1 instead (different usb 3.0 controller I believe)

Popped it in and got it to power up with a lovely CPU error light.

So now to see about RMAing my processor.

ASUS is going to RMA the motherboard and because of its price they will cross ship it so I dont have to figure out how to safely store a CPU in a dorm room without its original packaging.

Oh licensing... Clearly it is better to have a unnecessary connection/point of increased resistance than have reasonable licensing...

The whole pack is not necessary. Just get the original. It's a strong candidate for best game of all time.


Picked up the original and downloaded a DirectX 10 Renderer at the recommendation of Paradigm and played through the tutorial. Will probably start the game tomorrow.

Really? I liked Trine a bunch. Torchlight I didn't touch up on. I probably should have. Looks like the other laptop is capable of handling Trine, thank goodness... and managed to get the achievement and earned a ticket. Sorry the edit was about torchlight. I downloaded Trine and it crashed at the e...

Thinking of picking up Trine, trying the demo (I have 21 hours to decide). For some reason I didn't pick up torchlight yesterday. EDIT: Nevermind, looked at screenshots, I remember trying it and not really caring for it. Not a huge fan of MMORPG style RPGs I prefer games like fallout. EDIT2: Edit 1 ...

Just to be wary the Steam Subscriber Agreement says:

You may not sell or charge others for the right to use your Account, or otherwise transfer your Account.
which would allow them to potentially terminate the account.

Regretting not buying Oblivion yesterday but I am not sure I have the time to put into a game that long.

If L4D2 goes on a larger sale will probably buy a copy for the sister same with Bad Company 2.

Hmm, I am also wondering if it is a driver thing. I played through at at 1920x1200 at fairly high settings on my 2.4ghz macbook pro with 8600m GT 256MB and I think I used vsync without lag.

I may give it a shot later maxed on my GTX480 with vsync and see how it acts (I have it on steam also)
