  1. I have only built 2 Intel based rigs , since I began building my own pc's back in 1985. Even though AMD was a supplier of 286/386 cpu's to Intel, I always bought AMD branded cpu's (cost less). Its not that I dont like Intel, its always a cost performance decision. And I've built more pc's then I can remember. I've been planning a new game system and I did decide to go with Intel this time. And again, it is a performance / cost decision. Intel wins this time. The last Intel build was a i7-2700k rig, which I use in a DAW (digital audio workstation) PC. I built it in 2012 (I think). I do remember I dont like the way the Intel heat-sink attached to the motherboard. Real cheap locking mechanism. Anyone remember the magazine "Computer Shopper" ? What a big ass magazine it was !!! Was like the Sears Christmas catalog too me !! Loved it. Remember the company "Dirt Cheap Drives" ?

    Thats a bunch of Brock !!!!
  3. I've played with Realestufa many times. And he does kick ass and he gets a lot of shit talk because of the winning. I mean a lot of shit talk !!! And yet with all the shit slinging others give him, he has always been respectful of others in game. Only recently a week ago did I hear him give someone shit back and it struck me as uncharacteristic of him. Someone was saying "your a hack" and "kick him", and Realestufa replied, "Learn to play better" !! I cracked up !!! And at the same time it seemed out of character for him. But one can only take so much shit talk and I imagined he had enough. Like I mentioned I have played with him many many times and he has tried to help others with config settings and game play to try and help them get better, but it falls on deaf ears. Bashing him in these posts, just because he is good ? Some will bash me, saying "Oh no, not because he is good, but because he knows he is good and is being conceited". Well, I have news, he isn't the only "conceited" clan member. And I believe its all the "slamming him", that has made him defensive in his posts. If he was a shitty player, there would not be any discussion. Lets see how many "bash" me for my reply.

    Senn. Headset !!!! I own many Sennheiser headphones. Love the HD650's for listening to music, and use 280's for tracking in the studio. Always wondered what their gaming sets are like. Be sure to do a review on the Headset !!!
  6. They are more interested in the clam shells and snail shells they find
  7. If you have your PC or video drivers set to auto update, that can cause issues. Check and see when the drivers were installed (if auto update). If the date installed is when the issues arose, then thats the answer. Rollem back and shut of auto updates.
  8. Yeah, I wouldn't donate it to a museum. Maybe on loan. No broken edges on it. Very nice shape.
  9. Congrats !!! Have that ball framed !! During a scramble or just out ?
  10. Oh yeah !!! Crappie, Bluegill and Catfish galore up there. Fried in beer batter !!!!
  11. Spear point may be on point (no pun intended) .
  12. Yeah sort of. Forgot to put in dimensions. Will edit original post. As my son pointed out. He said "God usually does not carve rocks in a straight line"
  13. We own a summer lake house at Indian Lake, Ohio (been in the family for 50 years). Our grand kids enjoy going under water and scooping up rocks, mud ,sand and fish shit. They then keep the shiny rocks and throw the rest back in. My siblings and I did the same as kids. Anyway they found this. Its 58mm or 2.28" long by 11mm or .43" at the widest point. And 7mm or .27" thick at the thickest point. When looking at it from the end, it is a tapered diamond shape. The Shawnee, Hopewell and a few other tribes lived in this area. Behind our cabin is a prehistoric Hopewell burial mound. I think it is a cutting tool ? Or it could be nothing. Please chime in !!! Oh yeah, I came across this old photo of my dad taken on great day of fishing at Indian Lake. Man that was 30 + years ago. Also threw in a sunset view (taken a few days ago).
  14. I installed the new Quake game and I like it. We had a Q3 server running for a while and a Unreal server. Most have not gotten much action to justify keeping them. But I still play the old games. I still find Kingpin servers running. That was a cool FPS. And there are still Q2 servers up and running. I hit them up now and then.
  15. Sounds like we will be in great hands. Give us a shit ton of tank maps !!! And naked lady maps !!!
  16. downloading now.
  17. Happy birthday you Dirt Digger you !!!
  18. Sorry been away a few days. Are you logged on as admin ? Try putting your cursor in the password field (end of text), then hit apply. Here is Microsofts link to what I did and relayed to you https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-other_settings/windows-10-windows-update-keeps-turning-it-self/323c832e-119f-4552-8641-474acbd3dcff Also came across this app. http://www.novirusthanks.org/products/win-update-stop/
  19. Once you get them ironed out, shut off updates like I showed above. Or you will be going through this again at some point with a future update.
  20. Turn that auto / check for updates off !!! I know many just try to set "Windows Update" to manual, but that wont stick. Windows 10 will restart the damn thing. Here is the only way I could get Windows 10 updates to stop and stay that way. Go to services and double click "Windows Update",force it to stop, then choose the "log on tab". Check the "This Account" box, then in that field type .\Guest In the password field leave it as is. Though the password field generates characters, they dont function. Just leave them. Click apply and thats it. Hope it helps.
  21. I have that same mouse on another pc in the house. Im still using an ancient Logitech Dual Laser Mouseman. I have to revive it once a year from the dreaded dust bunnies. I have a new Logitech G502 (corded) but just cant seem to give up the old Mouseman !!!
  22. Wish I had his drumming skills !!! When you get around the 3 minute mark the snare and kick work is crazy !!
