  1. 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.
  2. Sounds like we will be in great hands. Give us a shit ton of tank maps !!! And naked lady maps !!!
  3. downloading now.
  4. Happy birthday you Dirt Digger you !!!
  5. 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/
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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 !!!
  9. Wish I had his drumming skills !!! When you get around the 3 minute mark the snare and kick work is crazy !!
  10. Came across a few videos of my young cousin playing drums and another with him playing guitar and singing. Also have a video of him when he was 14. I had just finished building my home recording studio and I recorded his band to test things out. He is singing and playing guitar in that video. Very talented kid. Started with drums at age 3 then as a teen switched to guitar for a few years. Still plays both in several bands. But as a drummer, the kid kicks ass. Here he is singing and playing guitar at age 14 Here he is playing guitar and singing with other bands.
  11. I was going to build a new gaming PC this month, but may hold off now till this fall. See where video card prices go.
  12. Sorry just misunderstood your intentions. Thought you wanted a refund and to stop owing. We like to break even or owe a little too.
  13. Beers !!!! Claiming yourself on your W4 is not a good thing. Plus there is no "Head of Household" on the W4 So if you are single or even married for that fact, with no kids you claim, then be sure to file "Single 0". Especially with the new tax code in play. While the average tax brackets have dropped 2 to 2.4%, the payroll tax withheld (be it W2 wages or pension") have dropped too. Meaning they will be taking less taxes out each pay period. If you or anyone have any related questions PM me, I would be happy to help and get you squared away for next year.
  14. Since deadline falls on weekend, you get two extra days. Sucks !!!!
  15. Sorry dad !! Forgot your birthday present again. Just like you forgot mine !!! Your loving son, Mikey
  16. And dont you just hate lovely RITA !!!!
  17. We have over 60 extensions to file. Worst year yet for people coming in late. And 70% of those will wait till freaking October to get their shit together.
  18. States often want to verify (by hard copy) efiled tax returns. Dont take it personal beers. They are just trying to cut down on the fraud.
  19. Is pretty cool. Ive seen one with blue lights too.
  20. Free for all is what I meant, sorry should clarify. Good to see them have it now. The demo was team only. At least the early demo
  21. Played demo. Looks great, but no "Death Match" online play. At least when the demo came out. Does the release have death match ?
  22. All the COD's of course I have no issues with my current rig. I play all the games in high resolution and all artifacts on. Even the new COD ran great (demo) and looked fantastic. Just time to build a new one.
  23. You have the same case my son has. I like the case I have, but Im going to be running two pc's. Going to keep the one I have for everyday use and the new is strictly for gaming. My sons been looking at the Ryzen Threadripper. Most games out today only utilize four cores (if that) so the Ryzen Threadripper is overkill for me. Now for multi-tasking with multiple programs it might be worth it. My son does alot of audio and video editing with multiple programs running at once. So the damn high price is justified to him.
  24. Looks good. Case wise its personal taste. Most cases now a days are comparable. I do like Antec cases and used them a lot, but case quality has come a long way. I remember in the 90's most had razor sharp edges and one had to be careful during assembly. I currently have a large Antec with a Corsair PS and "knock on wood" the PS has been bullet-proof. So I may lean towards Corsair. I have a Micro Center close by and usually get my stuff there. They match any online price and I walk out with everything. Definitely will go "liquid cooled", just for shits and giggles. And two "blue-ray" burners. Analog drives I have good luck with WD. But back to cases, I will look all over for one. Definitely want something weird and cool looking.
  25. In the same boat. Im running an AMD-8350 now, so its getting old. Going to build a rig in late April. I have always used AMD except on my last build (for my wife) which was an i7 2600k (few years back). Ive been comparing Ryzen and Intel offerings, especially these two. http://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-8700K-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-1800X/3937vs3916 The link is a great site for comparing different cpu's. Well comparing everything. Im leaning towards the Intel chip. As far as GPU, Im leaning towards the Nvidia 1070. I always use Gigabyte boards. I've built probably 50 pc's and through trial and error settled on Gigabyte as my only choice. Well, DFI was my main source in the day, but they abandoned the "consumer" market and make only commercial specific motherboards. DFI was the LanParty company, which some may know. Miss those boards !! Anyway, I definitely will go solid state for the OS (Windows 7), and I always use a separate sound card (Sound Blaster of course).
