    Inane getting-to-know-you type questions

    Pick the way I die. University, I guess. I don't really care and I even don't like my name. Apple! While I have never even used an Apple product I am all for all the free gadgets I can eat for life. Fulfill my biggest wish. There are always more regrets. My own island, duh. Provided it's not a...

    He was my favorite author. I am really going to miss new stories out of Lancre and Ankh-Morepork.

    I just ate bacon.

    I like low sodium bacon, if I can find it. Normal bacon has a bit more salt then I find enjoyable. Low sodium though, while still very salty, taste divine and don't turn my lips into raisins.

    [PC Game] Free Games-Legit or No?

    Yeah, I figured it was pirated stuff. Nice to hear it probably does not have any viruses though. If I ever feel an inclination to play sims 2, again, I may get it from there. Because my discs are damaged, codes are missing and EA has decided to nuke everything Sims 2 related. I'm fine with get...

    [PC Game] Free Games-Legit or No?

    Yeah, it's just weird that I can't find anywhere it says it's a total scam distributing hacked games or worse a virus nest. Supposedly they get their revenue from advertisements but I don't see how that could cover the cost of distributing legit copies of these games. On a different subject it...

    [PC Game] Free Games-Legit or No?

    I stumbled upon a website called Ocean of Games. The claim to offer free downloads for games. Including big name titles like EA's Sims 3 stuff. Which, granted is not a NEW title but it still seem a bit weird considering EA is still selling these Sim 3 packs for $20 each.. The site has...

    [Question] New Computer on a budget: $600

    The things listed under the does not need and might need in the OP are what he is using, right now (minus Windows 7). So the power supply is working with his GTX 560 and HDD right now. I am worried about the age of the PSU but he hasn't exactly been taxing it. So the $600 is really just for the...

    [Question] New Computer on a budget: $600

    His mind is set on windows 7 professional. He has a sibling who uses 8 at work and all he ever hears is how much they hate it. Also, it looks like we might have Windows 7 covered for free. So I can actually pull that out of the budget. What about i7 CPUs? Like Intel I7-4771 3.5 or Intel i7-4770...

    [PC Game] Steam Winter Sale 2015 - White Elephant Edition

    Wooo, new game. *edit* Apparently I will have to wait a bit to accept my game. Steam is being hella slow for me atm. Takes a minute for the store page to load and the accept gift page refuses to come up at all. *double edit* Wooo, new game.

    [Question] New Computer on a budget: $600

    Ok, we will probably go with a physical disc then. For the speakers he wants something in the $50-80 range. Standard stereo 2.0 desktop speakers. Whats the best he can get for that? Although he has now decided that the speakers can wait a month if necessary so he can spend more on computer...

    I am fine with Payday 2, unless someone needs to trade for reasons. Perhaps trade it for Borderlands?

    [Question] New Computer on a budget: $600

    This company, Windows Point, is selling Windows 7 professional for $76.99. But they don't send you a disc, just the registration code. So he will either have to download it or use my installation discs. Does this seem legit? Or should we pay $138 and just get a physical copy from a more well...

    [Question] New Computer on a budget: $600

    8gb of ram is still good, right? Or has more become preferred?

    [Question] New Computer on a budget: $600

    The Ram is DDR3 Here's some other things CPUz says: Channel#: Dual NB Frequency: 2000MHz Dram Frequency: 667MHz

    [Question] New Computer on a budget: $600

    Without opening the case to check the DDR frequency is 667MHz according to CPUz. Is that what you were asking for?

    [Question] New Computer on a budget: $600

    His hard drive is the same is mine, called Samsung HD103SI ATA Device. I guess ATA is the answer. And yes, I agree Windows 7 will eat lots of the budget. Because of that I am thinking getting good motherboard is the most important so Microsoft doesn't throw a fit with their OEM policies if he...
