One of my favorite indie artists is finally starting to get some traction.

I use a modmic http://www.modmic.com/products/modmic-4-0-omni-directional-muteless with some nice studio headphones.

lets face it... you will have upgraded your ssd's for for double the space before they start to fail from too many accesses.

I keep telling people that it goes no sale for $5 all the time. lol.

yep! You miss the days of the 2lb 2GB gyroscope drives? lol. I don't. 500GB is pretty much a minimum for a gaming rig. It's enough for a little lossless music, a few games, and some editing programs. 250GB should be fine for my linux development platform though. My projects don't take up that much space. At work I'm using the ubunu-gnome distro but replaced the wm with Awesome. I plan on replicating the setup at home. Awesome really is awesome btw. It's so much better than i3 imho.

For the next three days! https://www.humblebundle.com/store/p/insurgency_storefront

haha, thanks for the address on google... I have some fun amazon gift purchases to make now.

the prices for SSD's are dropping like they did for usb thumb drives and sd cards. Imagine that? lol.

I have a 512GB evo 840 that I'm running win8.1 on. I'm waiting for a good deal atm to get the 250gb evo 850 to dual boot linux on. It was my first SSD and I'm never looking back. They are simply incredible. The low latency and fast boots are just amazing. (it's also VERY nice to not have to listen to the wine of a rotating disk anymore.)

Seagate has a bad rap for failures atm. WD is still pretty reliable. http://www.extremetech.com/computing/198154-2014-hard-drive-failure-rates-point-to-clear-winners-and-losers-but-is-the-data-good

In my experience... Slowly upgrading an old rig and mixing new with old parts always generates unexpected problems and hardware failures. The best way to build a custom rig is to wait until you can afford the whole thing, buy all the parts at once, build it in one day, and be done with it. Builds have always gone smoother for me when I do that. Anything more than swapping in a more powerful GPU is a high risk for complications.

ummm... where is the freudian slip exactly?

I apologize Nisty! I just went back and carefully re-read it. I missed that the first time. I wasn't fully paying attention cause I knew I couldn't make it to the game Now I feel like a dick. lol.

Timelapse that shit! That is so cool, but I don't have time you watch the whole thing.

Hey, I'm really sorry Nisty! How am I supposed to know you were on and had everyone together for a match? I had no warning and I'm not on while at work. You've got to be more understanding of the massive time difference between us. Shouting into the void in the shoutbox or on the forums isn't going to get you immediate attention. I don't follow you around waiting for you to need something. I have a life to attend to and hardly have any time to play lately. You've got to send me a PM if you need something right away. PM's get forwarded to my email and I see those almost immediately and can respond. I'm sorry supa couldn't help you with the config files. He's not real comfortable messing with them cause Rugger and I have always been the one to edit them and he's never had to do it before.

Chill out! Tehehe. Hmmm. I do kind a like it. @@Nisty* I'm pretty sure there's a way to make just that cvar visible to Admins without messing with the config file. I'll look into that today; Just for you!

The admins didn't want to lock the server? Nobody asked me to lock the server... did you have a problem of random players coming into the match? Next time you want to have a match, just send me a pm. Because we live in such different time zones, I'm almost assuredly going to be at work, but I'll do my best to get it setup for you!

This guy is amazing! I love this show!

awe!!! did they back out completely? that sucks!

^ what pyro said! Also, I would recommend waiting for the game to go on sale. Every couple weeks you can find it for $5 here: https://www.humblebundle.com/store/p/insurgency_storefront At the moment it's $9.

Cool your buns Nisty. 1) The custom server looks like it's up to me.... 2) If I'm not at work I can help you out with the server setup.

Every time I see this thread I think it says: "Legacy Daft Punk" Such a tease...

they come up with some crazy game shows over there...

I would love to... but I will be at work.
