Twinkie 13

Well when the big one hits property value could skyrocket in California. Now they have now ocean front property side. If the big one hits and splits off a large chunk there could be 3 water front property sections.

I do support our troops. If they are sent somewhere to fight no expense should be spared to make sure that they have the best possible equipment. I just don't want our troops to be used for pointless ventures like Iraq. Also if we are going to send our troops back there, we need better rule of engagement. In the past our troops have been handcuffed by so called ruled of engagement when a sniper is shooting them from a mosque they cant shoot back or call in an air strike. That is crazy. Level that shit. We are going to spend billions rebuilding their crap anyway. I would rather destroy a structure of any kind even religious if it would help keep our soldiers alive and safe.

Sounds good. Do you need the regular players to post here so you know the names?

Here are a few links about twinkies. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twinkie http://hostesscakes.com/ http://science.howstuffworks.com/innovation/edible-innovations/twinkie.htm http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/hostess-closing-bakery-created-twinkie-25069319 Love ya BUG

but any american that chooses to go into a war zone and gets themselves killed is not our problem. If a country or group openly hates america and americans then don't go to where they are and think they wont kill you. The journalist took his life in his own hands. He chose to go into harms way and got killed. We shouldnt send americans into harms way because a dumb ass got himself killed.

Don't get mad at me but in war civilians die, that's just a sad fact. I agree with little old man that our army had a hard time dealing with their tactics. Mostly because of all the pilotical bull shit from home. If a group of soldiers is getting fired upon from a mosque I have no problem bombing it into dust. Telling our soldiers they can't shoot at certain buildings is bs. That's one way of getting our people killed by handcuffing them. We can carpet bomb the shit out of Iraq and level the place. That would be fine to me. The talk about so called innocent civilians, true some might be innocent, but other fight us by hiding the enemy and providing food, shelter, and supplies to them. Makes them an enemy in my book. I am against sending troops back there but if we do send them all of hell fire and damnation should be sent with them.

Looks like we need to send to marines to ferguson. Those people have lost their fuckin minds. Seems to me that the guy assaulted the cop and got himself killed. One less thug to worry about. Pretty simple, if you assault a cop with or without a weapon he/she has the right to shoot your dumb ass. One by one all those so called eye witnesses have been proved to be telling lies. As far as Iraq goes, let whom ever wants it have it. Tell all Americans to get the fuck out and never look back. Any reporter that wants to go in fine, just have them sign a notice that they understand they most likely will be killed and we will not lift a finger to help them and give them a toe tag to put on.

Hey guys. I would like to have your input on a possible cpu upgrade. Current pc specs Gigabyte 970 motherboard Amd fx 8120 cpu over clocked to 3.5 ghz Cooler master 212 evo cpu cooler Crucial ballistix 16 gig 1600 MHz ram Seagate 2 tb 7200 rpm HD Seagate 1 tb 7200 rpm HD for backup Gigabyte r9 280x 3 gig video card Cd/DVD writer Blu ray drive Other misc stuff The fx 8350 is for sale at 190 dollars give or take. And runs stock at 4 ghz. And gets a rating of 9032 on cpu mark vs the fx 8120 3.1 stock clock at 6602 on cpu mark. Do you guys think it would be worth the money to get the 8350 or better to wait for amd to come out with another socket since it seems that AM3+ is at its end. I know a lot of you are AMD haters and I know that pound for pound intel beats amd. It's just that amd can't be beat on price for what you get in my opinion. I don't want to go with the fx 9590 cpu mainly because of its power hungry 220 watt eating habit and lots of heat.

First of all we did not break Iraq. That shit was fucked up before Jesus was born and will always be fucked up. I don't pity any journalist. You go into an active war zone don't expect your home country to send men and women out to die to look for your ass. As far as other Christians getting killed they can fight, leave, or roll over and die. We as in the USA should not be expected to come to everyone's aide. Every time there is a natural disaster everyone looks at the US and says why haven't you sent money and supplies yet. We have our own problems to deal with. If all the billions we spend on countries where the people hate our guts were spent on helping Americans we as a country would be in better shape. I am all for helping others but not to help people in a foreign country when people here are going without food and clothing or jobs and proper health care. We send food and money to places in Africa because they are starving but even though they can't feed the 12 kids they already have they keep popping out more. They are their own worst enemy. Iraq was given military weapons and training for their new army and they just gave up. Well if they won't fight for their country why in the hell should we? I am not in the military nor was I ever. That being said, I will support our troops no matter where our retarded government sends them. Each soldier should have the best weapons and armor money can buy because we can provide that. But I think any president that decides to send good American men and women to another country to fight somebody else's war should have to personally got to each soldiers parents and say "I have decided to send your son/daughter/husband/wife to die in a war that has nothing to do with America. And when we win this was the people that we fought for will still hate America and it's people. "

I agree it's terrible what happened to him. But like you said he knew the risk. In my opinion if a group go people or country openly hates you don't go there. I am an American and America doesn't need to police the world. We have enough problems in our own country. The Middle East has been at war for ever and there is no end in sight. Let Iraq destroy itself, it won't be a big loss. The world will keep on spinning. The billions of taxpayers dollars that have been wasted on a sand pit would have been better spent on the roads and bridges that are falling apart in America.

Seen too many crotch rocket idiots think they have the right to go 100 in a 70 mph zone and weave through traffic. Most of these kind of wrecks are the bikers fault.

Using hacks in public gaming makes you untrustworthy forever in my book. Hackers ruin games for everyone. I'm sure you experienced this more than once as have everyone else here. In my opinion hacks are fine in single player games. You can have lots of fun hacking your own single player game. The only reason to hack in public games is to upset the people that are playing by the rules. I play games to relax and have a good time. Having a hacker on the server will interfere with that. Now if a group of people want to run a game on an open server with the rules stated up front to hack and cheat all you want that's fine. Everyone will be on the same page. The most upsetting thing to me is the use of "XI" tags without having earned them. Also whatever you might do while wearing said tags could reflect negatively on the XI clan. Now I have not been a member for too long compared to others here but I'm sure that they will feel the same as I on this matter. I had the honor of being asked if I wanted to join the XI clan. I have meet many wonderful people here. Many have helped me work through some extremely difficult time in my life. I enjoy talking to and playing with my clan mates. I don't have any friends. I tend to be a lonely person in life. I have found caring people here that I have not been able to find anywhere else in life. That may make me a looser or a freak but I don't really care. Now I do find the fact that you mentioned paying to have our site burdened with a DOS attack to be a bit over the line as well. I don't believe anything like that is called for on either side of this issue. There are so many other servers and sites that I'm sure you can have lots of great fun playing to your hearts content. You may even be able to get back on our servers using another name or ip and as long as no cheating is done no one would be the wiser. If so please enjoy all that the good people at XI have to offer. You may even find it rewarding to host your own server one day. Escalating from either side of the situation would not benefit anyone. So please everyone take a big step back from the big red button.

I hate xfire

Really good thanks.

Happy birthday

Cat if it will boot to windows install team viewer and msg me I can look into your computer and try to help

Sounds like the boot sectors got scrambled somehow. What duck said to do will take care of the waw stuff. Sorry your hd crashed.

Nisty I can try and help you. There is a program called team viewer. It will allow me to control your computer from mine. Then I can compare your setup to mine cause I have that game as well. Let me know if you are up for that.

Also check the steam forums for that game. Lots of info to be found there. Like said above more info needed please.

Just tell everyone that you were assaulted by a pack of Brownies from the movie Willow

Is that an intel chip used for the heat source?

I have always been in the mind to get the best single card solution you can afford. Lots of games have issues with dual card setups.

souds good to me. you might want a better video card if you can afford it, I got this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129280

Please forgive me for my long post as I do not know your level of expertise with computers. I mean no offence in any way shape or form. build dont buy. you can really maximize on you money doing it yourself. Now for the big question.....AMD or INTEL!!!!!!????? I went with AMD because of the price to performance ratio that can't be beat. I do respect the fact that Intel chips usually perform better than AMD in most applications. That being said if money is not really a problem then go Intel with a Nvidia gpu. If money is tight AMD will give you more bang for your buck in my opinion. Don't go overboard on you motherboard. Ha ha made a funny. You can easily spend a good portion of your budget on a top of the line motherboard and hardly use all of its benefits. Depending on what you are going to use this new pc for will help decide your mobo needs. Will you ever run sli or crossfire? Or will one videocard be plenty for your needs. Get a case that has plenty of fan mounts. Cooling is a major factor in longevity of components. Keep them cool keep them longer. I would suggest you not use the heat sink that comes with the cpu but for 35 bucks you can upgrade to a coolermaster 212 evo. This will cool your cpu better than the stock fan and heatsink. link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099&cm_re=coolmaster_212-_-35-103-099-_-Product In my opinion get the best video card you can afford that covers your needs. If you find a good deal on a card that is over what you will need just think about getting it because it could last your needs for many years. If you like maxing out all of the latest games then the best card you can afford is what you need. Again nvidia and amd are close to each other on price and performance. http://www.videocardbenchmark.net you can check price and performance on video cards as well as cpus here. As far as power supplies go I suggest using a power supply calculator to help with the needed wattage. http://www.coolermaster.outervision.com this site will help you with that. Whatever you figure you power needs to be just make sure it is a name brand. Pick a power supply with a 80 plus bronze rating or higher. These have been designed and tested to provide the most stable and clean power to your components.Be sure to check the power needs of your video card and what power connections it needs. Some take 1 some take 2 plugs. And some need 6 or 4 pin plugs. http://www.newegg.com/Power-Supplies/Category/ID-32 Memory??? how much is too much? with windows 7 or 8.1 whichever you choose I would not get less than 8gb. I run 16 in my pc because when I got my parts I found a great sale at newegg. Double check with the motherboard manufacturer site for the board you choose for the list of memory that your board can support and the speeds that are supported as well. Now I have no experience with the SSD drives. I plan on getting one soon though. But from what I hear and read is a SSD drive for the os is a must now days. Regular magnetic hard drives are getting cheaper each day so depending on you storage needs you can go wild with massive storage. Also you will need a cd/dvd drive/burner. Those are really cheap now. Get good quality thermal paste for your heat sink. Just to keep the dust bunnies to a minimum in my pc I got a cheap house air filter and cut pieces out of it to put in front of my fans. Those are cheap and help keep things nice and clean. Well I hope I haven't bored you with my long winded post. Best of luck with the new build.

So should I switch to 5w30 then. My mileage is over 200,000 now. I can't afford for it to crap out on me any time soon.
