Welcome back. Haven't seen ya in a few. My old name is PvtDeath. I remember playin with ya years ago.

Psssssst @Icequeen Kissy Kissy?

Awesome Wife Awesome Life. It takes an awesome woman to keep us mischievous men in line for so long lol. Congrats @sandradee2 and @dadda2

@BlackRose your awesome. Thank you for your hard work sweetie ?? I better stop the kissy kissy. @FRENCHI and @Icequeen will get jealous. lol

@BlackRose are you the official event coordinator? Set that shit up . If you build it "they" (a whole bunch of idiots) will come. BTW we need regularly scheduled COD4 events. More Knife matches, Pistol matches, Boy vs Girl, Gun Game mod events, CTF Events, Death Run, maybe even some 4v4 8v8 pvp matches. Holiday events would be nice. All snow and Christmas looking maps. New Years maybe a bunch of Small Chaotic maps for the drunken idiots to frolic around on? Just make sure that you put the clan wide events on 1 of the 2 main servers because Idiots ALWAYS tend to stay on the server that they play on the most. That's why the other Mod servers are sitting empty 98% of the time.

Happy birthday ya old fart.

If your on a tight budget the RX 480 8gb card is a hell of a good card. I bought a slightly used one off of Ebay for $90 with free shipping. The RX 580 is just a slightly overclocked RX 480 but it costs $70-$80 more. The 480 will slightly out perform a 590 if you bump up the memory speed and core clock but you'll start running into Throttling issues. My slightly overclocked RX 480 gets 120-150fps on DayZ Standalone @ 1080p and everything on Medium-High and view distance cranked to Ultra. DayZ Standalone runs on the same game engine that Arma 3 runs on. Anyone that plays Arma 3 knows how demanding that game is. You can't beat the performance for what I paid for the card. 1660 is a shit card for the money. Rebranded 1060 with a slight overclock. Stock my $100 RX 480 8g smokes it like a blunt. 2060 is O K but not alot better than my RX 480. Average FPS increase of 20-30fps (depending on the game) over a non overclocked RX 480/580 or 590. The 206o is a better card. Considering the 2060 costs 3X what I paid for my card you should expect 3x the performance but that is Definitely Not the case. The performance jump from a 2060 and the 2070 and 2070 Super? Average 20-28fps going from the 2060 to the 2070. Performance jump from a 2060 and a 2070 Super is 29-42fps. A good middle of the road card would be the 2060 Super. It's dead even on most benchmarks with the RTX 2070 NON Super and costs a whopping $100-$150 less. For a $400 card you can't beat the performance.They run cool and use alot less power than the AMD cards. https://www.newegg.com/evga-geforce-rtx-2060-super-08g-p4-3067-kr/p/N82E16814487460 The RX 5700 XT is around $400 but it is still plagued with issues. In benchmarks a $380-$420 5700 XT beats the $500-$580 2070 Super in most benchmarks by 20-30fps in 1080p-4k. It smokes the 2060 Super and 2070 Non super by a large margin in all benchmarks but it runs hot and it is STILL plagued with driver and a hardware issues. Most likely due to the stock cooler being way to small for such a power hungry graphics card and the card tends to throttle quite a bit. When it throttles, games and benchmarks tend to crash. Once AMD fixes this issue and aftermarket coolers are available the card will most likely be obsolete. Don't even look at the RX 5500 XT. It's basically another rebranded RX 480 performance wise. My old 290X was a hell of a good card but it ran hot as hell and the fans were always at 100%. I literally could not hear my speakers over the 3 large fans on the damn thing. The RX 480 8g card has slightly better performance but runs very very cool and the fans are quiet. The fans shut off at idle currently at 31c and 0% fan speed and it runs 42-45c @ 15-25% fan speed on COD4 and 54c @ 30-50% fan speed in DayZ Standalone. While Benchmarking it will get up to 61c @ 68-70% fan speed. I dialed in my fan ramp up speed in MSI Afterburner to run quiet and still run pretty damn cool.

Can we do it again soon @Gatorgirl? COD2 has a memorial every year for fallen members. It was super fun even though most of us were just goofing around.

Shit is definitely WAY out of control in Baltimore. This shit is darn rite out scary. Over 400 carjackings within this past year. And over 700 arrests were made. https://www.wbaltv.com/article/police-commissioner-michael-harrison-addresses-rise-in-carjackings-throughout-baltimore/29432660 Then they drive around and shoot up neighborhoods. This is from yesterday. 3 dead 4 injured in random drive by shootings. https://www.baltimoresun.com/news/crime/bs-md-ci-cr-baltimore-city-police-shootings-tuesday-afternoon-20191218-elz3o5umurgr3icmfzsr64ohci-story.html Anyone got a Mini Nuke? lol

Wow that was cool of you @StanG . Thanks bud

Fuck that. PPL are just straight up NUTZ in certain areas of Baltimore. I used to run around down there back in the late 80s early 90s. I haven't been down that way since that string of carjackings back in 93. I forget how many there was but I think it was something like 32 jackings in 3 months time. I still go to the Malls occasionally in Cumberland and Hagerstown but that's about as far south as I've been in a long time.

It plays fine. Leave it the heck alone. We used to have a ROTU Zombie server up to but after it was "tweaked" to be more challenging which made it was impossible to solo more than 1 round or 2 if your extremely lucky. Some maps are much much much harder than others. Play more and you'll see. You might be able to win a map or 2 solo but there are maps that are extremely hard to stay alive on even with 2 or more people. Try staying alive without climbing up on some camping spot. lol Bet you can't solo Shipment for more than a round or 2. It's in rotation. I play on there a good bit when the freezetag servers are empty.

Happy Birthday buddy

The last couple of Windows 10 updates messed with alot of stuff. I had to give COD4 permission just to use my damn Microphone. Windows defender locked down 1 of my HDDs and would not let me install on it. Some how Windows Defender Application Guard got installed and turned on without me telling it to do so. I hate OS Integrated Bull Shit like that.

Hello @Evercy You won't find a better place to hang your hat that's for sure. I've been hangin around here for a decade. I have no regrets. XI has become more of a family than a gaming community over the years.

Congrats @WldPenguin

lol

My Parents used to Jam this back when I was a little fella.

Psssssst @Icequeen lol
