Kalshion

Got mine from Gogamer, came in a dvd case. Asked them why and according to them, mine was an import.. but all in all it's still english =)

hehehe the card came overclocked, but it said it's a "lifetime" warranty, but when I phoned them for support they asked for the type of card and I told them (excluding the OC) and they said that since the card is an overclocking type, it's automatically void of the warranty Is that right? Or do I sense a legal battle

Last night, while I was playing UC and engaged in a large fleet battle agaist the gammulan menace (sorry, couldn't help myself ) my video card decided "I don't like you" and died on me I was wondering why everything in the game suddenly turned ugly, graphic wise. My game didn't quit, although my video card did read a temp of over 115c (The threshold is 120c) UC doesn't take that much graphic space so my only conclusion is that there was so much going on on my screen that the card couldn't keep up (which I find hard to believe, since I've engaged in battles with over 50+ ships and never had a problem) But, saddly, I've had to mark my card with the RIP sign (it's a Geforce 6800 GT Overclocked, 256 mb ram) only had it for 5 months = Anyone got a suggestion on what I should get of equal or better? And, naturally, hopefully I posted this in the right area

I just re-read my own first post I thank the person who sent me a PM asking me about what I said, thank you! I didn't proofread it, so thats why people misunderstood my post In my post, I thought I had placed before the "And people think game's don't kill" and after the: ,funny, But, it seem's I didn't, I thought I did cause in my word document it's present S - Sarcasm Sorry to double post, my time to edit ran out

quote:Originally posted by LostInSpace: That's not the impression I got from your initial post: I already knew people would misunderstand my first post, that's why I made the above post. But what still make's me mad, is how people make assumptions without asking for my input, no one bothers to ask me to explain my PoV in more details, if they had, they'd have learned by now that I don't blame game's for these killings quote: The problem here is with the waste of society that is taugh that they are not responsible for their actions. Thing is, most of the time, parents are to blame cause they don't take the time to properly teach there children right from wrong. Which is when thing's go horribly wrong quote: Meaning, death penalty for the criminal (yes, even this "juvenile") and maybe even prison time for parents Unless you can get rid of the ACLU, there will be no such thing a "death penalty for juviniles", trust me, I beleive in the death penalty and believe if you murder someone, you should be punished with the means that you murdered that person. quote: Go read a book called "Starship Troopers" by Robert A. Heinlein Read it, had to do a report on it last year in school. Good book, scary in some sense [ 02-16-2005, 11:57 PM: Message edited by: Kalshion ]

In a case like that, both him and his parent's should be lieable

I didn't know that Bandus, thanks for clearing it up. quote: Kalshion, does playing BC make you do violent things? Does banging my fist on the desk everytime Resnig make's a mistake count? Seriously, you all are missing the point I'm trying to make. I will try one more time to explain it. People get influenced by what they see in a game, where as other people don't My example: The graphics and fleet battles in UC, influence me to keep on playing. Just like how the content in Eve-online influence me to play it on occasion. However, to other people, that might not be what influences them In other words: What might not seem an influence factor to some of us (Jaguar) might be to another person (like that man) Who knows? Killing police officers in that game might've been the influence factor that made him think of going after cops. Now, I'M NOT SAYING IT SHOULD BE BLAMED (stop saying I blame game's please) What I am saying is that parent's need to seriously watch what they get there children, but what do you truely know about you're child? Most parent's don't know there children, they won't know how they will react to certain games. Example: When I was younger, my father bought me Thief (1st one) the first time I saw a spider in that game it scared me half to death and influenced me not to play the game. Stupid reason now that I think of it, but at the time it's what influenced me to stop (now I enjoy squishing spiders ) Edit: I bolded certain word's because they have meaning to my post please look at them and consider there meaning, although I already know what Jag is going to say (sorry Jag, but I know you to well )

Jaguar Then please explain why this is the ONLY GAME out there that has people going out and killing others? GTA is the game that has those connections, no other game in history has had THIS much problems, don't you think that there is a possibility that the game IS influencing this? Again, NOTHING is Impossible, there is ALWAYS the possibility

quote: Tuesday, February 15, 2005 Associated Press TUSCALOOSA, Ala. ÔÇö A lawsuit claims the video game "Grand Theft Auto (search)" led a teenager to shoot two police officers and a dispatcher to death in 2003, mirroring violent acts depicted in the popular game. The suit announced Tuesday seeks damages from the game's manufacturers and two stores that allegedly sold it to Devin Thompson (search), now 18. An attorney for relatives of two of the victims said Thompson, who is charged with murder, had played the video game repeatedly. Thompson is accused of killing the three men in June 2003 after being brought to the Fayette police station on suspicion of driving a stolen car. Thompson allegedly grabbed one of the officer's guns, shot him and the other two, then fled in a patrol car Lawsuit: 'Grand Theft Auto' Led Teen to Kill Found this article while browsing the net, and people think that game's don't kill... BS... apperently these teen's are an expection, funny, this is the only game out there that's been causing these problems, yet, no one has ever bothered to consider, not only the source, but the content of the game. Or, more to the point, why this game is still being allowed on the market? I posted this here cause it's about a game, but, it could very well belong in politics (shrugs) dunno

quote: Democrats' Civil War: Clintons vs. Kennedy The apparent selection of Howard Dean as chairman of the Democratic Party indicates the party does not want to learn from its ways. That's good news for Republicans. The Dean ascension also indicates that when it comes to grassroots Democrats, it's the liberalism of Dean, Kerry and Ted Kennedy that still holds sway among party cadres. For some time, NewsMax has reported that Hillary Clinton has long had her guns set on Dean. During the bitter primary campaign last year, we noted that a source close to Dean's mother blamed Hillary and Bill for all of her son's campaign woes. Now it is no longer an open secret that Hillary dislikes Dean. But it is clear that a larger civil war has long been under way in the Democratic Party that ironically has pitted Hillary and Bill as the "moderates" against Dean and his faction -- which is still controlled by the Kennedy-Kerry circle. Kennedy's recent bellicose speech to the National Press Club spit in the face of moderation and said the party should stick to its core positions: pacifism, higher taxes, more abortion rights, more gay rights, etc. The reasoning for this positioning is that the Kennedy faction does not believe the Democrats have lost elections because of their liberal views. They believe that the 2004 election was lost solely on national security and the "war on terror." An associate of Kennedy recently told NewsMax the view is simple: "Stand firm, and the Iraq war will turn into such a disaster, the Democrats will win big in 2006." The source added, "The Democrats won't have to do a thing but remain opposed to the war." The war and growing body count will feed angst, the source said, among the right wing, who will soon demand an end to the war. Perhaps so. But the recent relatively calm elections in Iraq suggest the insurgency may be abating rather than increasing.

Sorry Remo, I assumed it was an insult due to the way it was written and sounded, at least to me.. again, Sorry about that, didn't mean to blow off steam.. And sorry CC.. however: quote:Originally posted by Cc: You think everyone one on this forum should think exactly as you do. Please look at my posts again, I haven't said that or even hinted, so please don't make false assumptions

quote:Originally posted by Cc: Spoken as true conservatives. (Snip) Did the thought ever occur that there are people in america who are NOT convervatives, but have spoke the same way? I speak of Liberatians, and even Liberals (my liberals friends for example, are beginning to see the light) (Snip) ------- Now, I must agree, DEAN is acting like a complete and total (censored), if he is put in charge of the democratic party then it'll be a blessing, because the Dem's will go down faster than they did before Like how Kerry is an Ultra Liberal, Dean is the same way, and will only destroy what ever he touchs This is the best thing to ever happen to America, the downfall of the democratic commitee, and the rise of the republican party, perhaps there's hope for us yet Oh wait, there WILL be hope, of Rice become's president in 2008... if Hillary become's president.. then all will be lost Cut it out Kal [ 02-13-2005, 12:16 AM: Message edited by: Remo Williams ]

Just wish people would get it through there head that smoking kills, doesn't matter if it's 2nd hand or not But, people will continue to go along the mentaility of "It'll never happen to me", there's just one problem... Death is something that can't be avoided, you'll die eventually, by smoking you're just decreasing you're life span I may not agree with the company, but I do agree on this It's a private enterprise, the government shouldn't be allowed to have ANY say in what THEY do, since THEY don't RUN that company It's like I always said, "Keep the government out of it". Just wish those idiots in the Public School District had listened, thats the main reason our public schools suck and graduate idiots...

And whos fault is that that the government is getting that way? Us, the voters, we continue to vote people in who are not serving the american people well. YOU(The Voter) voted them in, meaning YOU have to pay the price for there incompetence, IF YOU had taken the time to RESEARCH the person, CHECK there background, CHECK to see if there telling the truth, or if there lieing, AND, in Traitorsom Kerrys case, the voting record of the person and there military record, THEN we wouldn't be having these problems Saddly, many people are LAZY and decide not to take that extra step and those people right there who have NO RIGHT to vote, but hey, thats my opinion Examples of idiots: Oscer goodmen, Herry Read (Nevada) Oscer Goodman - Mafia crimeboss (Mayor of Vegas) Herry Read - Ultra Liberal who doensn't care about Nevada And yet, these people here STILL vote them into office even after finding out that neither will serve the people who voted for them The people in congress, mainly liberals, are just as guilty as some republicans (SOME, I did not say all) are just in there for the money, others are in there cause they want to make a difference

I thought Thief: Deadly Shadows was pretty good, but then again, I've always loved the Thief series... Oh well, perhaps someone else will take up the slack

Good! =) I'm glad that there finally doing SOMETHING to counter a possible terrorist threat Asking if you're a citizen, being finger printed, all thats a good idea because it'll make it harder for terrorists to get into our country and possibly cause more harm quote: This adds to my belief that there is definitely something seriously wrong with our government There is something wrong, the current liberals in Congress and the Senate won't allow any of Bush's changes to go through, the longer they delay, the more damage that is done to America quote: Logic dictates that there are paranoid individuals within our government who are following a well planned agenda to consolidate their power over Joe Citizen and secure their position as the new elite owners of planet Earth. The plan is to continue to oppose any change's the president trys to make. Funny really, if it was Kerry, they wouldn't oppose quote: Regulations that the President can change at will, without even a glimmer of Congressional Oversight Patriot Act was passed with approval of congress, did you conviently forget that? People keep on forgetting, the president has a big job in protecting this country and he can't do that if people keep on opposing every change he trys to make quote: The Neocons have tipped the scales of the Checks and Balance System in their favor and we will all be the losers for it. Neocons? Let me give you a reminder on what "Neocon" means Neocon - An intellectual and political movement in favor of political, economic, and social conservatism that arose in opposition to the perceived liberalism of the 1960s

quote: Applying the Constitution like a sledgehammer to online arenas originally created for escape may sound like the ultimate bad trip -- going against the "we're in this together" camaraderie that has sparked many a virtual world quest. Lol Trust me, if some lame brain bearucrat was to EVER do that, then blood would be shed. There'd be assassinations like crazy The term "Don't touch my property" come's into play, people play online game's to escape reality Funny thing is It's no different from playing single player games. I play UC to escape reality as well as to have fun in space quote: Already, some players use virtual worlds as a sort-of public square, voicing their opinion on everything from real-world presidential politics to the problems they have with the game creators. And this brings up another potential legal issue: Using a privately run space to voice public opinions. Every TOS has a line that forbids any outside political discussion WHAT SO EVER Go figure that the article doesn't bother to explain that SOME people break the rules, again, SOME! not EVERYONE quote: Of course all this talk about the law and virtual worlds may sound silly to most people; conjuring up images of tiny digitized courtrooms with a seventh-level dwarf pleading his case. Funny, damn right it's funny, down right outragious... quote: A more recent case involves Marvel Comics, owners of "Spider-Man" and "The X-Men" franchises. Concerned that players in the critically acclaimed online game "City of Heroes" were using the game's character building tools to outfit themselves as Marvel-owned heroes, the company sued the game's maker, South Korean online gaming giant NCsoft. It was up to NCsoft, Marvel charged, to prevent its players from infringing on its trademarks. Hmmm, I find this to be the most interesting part of the article, before NCsoft could even TOUCH the super hero area, they had to first get permission from Marvel And back in Beta, they even said that they finally got permission from Marvel to release the game to the public, why do I get the feeling this guy is LIEING? Or, is it possible NCSoft lied to us? We'll never know.. I think the reason the government wants to get involved is because of all that money being made from online game's, thousand's upon hundreds of thousands play these games. Eve-online has a population of 15,000 players and about 5000-10,000 are online at any given moment Given that, they get A LOT of money per month. And the government wants to get involved Over all: KEEP THE LAW OUT OF IT!

Pathetic Outragious To many spelling errors, WAY WAY WAY to many spelling errors!!!! Make's me wonder if those idiot's even completed elementary school Only laughable thing about it is the lack of any intelligent in the wording process, sad... really sad....

Survey Finds Students Ignorant Of Basic First Amendment Rights Got this story on the e-mail wire and found it rather.... disturbing... not because it's absolutely RIGHT.. but because... HAS IT TAKEN THEM THIS LONG TO FINALLY FIGURE IT OUT?!?!?!?!? quote: By Jimmy Moore Talon News February 1, 2005 WASHINGTON (Talon News) -- In a new study of high school students ironically released the day after the historic democratic elections in Iraq, basic freedoms such as the freedom of speech and of the press found in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution were found to be unimportant to them. quote: "Schools don't do enough to teach the First Amendment," Puntney lamented in the report. "Students often don't know the rights it protects. This all comes at a time when there is decreasing passion for much of anything. And, you have to be passionate about the First Amendment." quote: "Kids aren't learning enough about the First Amendment in history, civics or English classes," Dvorak remarked in a statement.

quote:Originally posted by LostInSpace: I was listening to Wolf Blitzer this morning on CNN and he almost sounded dispondent that there was not alot of violence. Every question he posed to a guest speaker on his time slot was couched in questions of violence. I eventualy turned him off with disgust. Nothing not one word of good from him about alot of the Iraqi people, from the sick to healthy, who showed up to vote. How the heck can you find that surprising? You ARE talking about CNN here (Communist New's Network) Listened to Mister Bill on fox new's, he had a few things to say about that wacko (no, not the child melister) I actually find it insulting that the only thing the main stream media is capible of is false reporting and corruptiveness, it's very sad really But, anywho, I'm glad the Iraqi's voted in this election and didn't let the terrorist's win Now, perhaps we'll see a bit more change.. i hope
