exactly. i guess this is part of the thrill of being Master Race tho. problems and then hunting them down.

luckily i do this for a living with servers and am not a complete IT noob and hate that sort of thing.


i'd of probably already given up if it wasn't for the TD Master Race's help.

I'd be done with bioshock if I didn't spend so much time messing with settings. I like doing it though.

Not so much a thrill as it is a hurdle. The first few PCs I ever built, I always managed to mess something up -- Left off a jumper/screwed up the master/slave configuration (remember those days?), PSU cables too short, etc. It was a great feeling the first time I had a build that I executed flawlessly with no issues.

I enjoy fixing other people's PC problems, but if something goes wrong with mine, I am genuinely outraged and look down upon my PC with contempt. "I gave you everything, and this is how you repay me?"

Do we have an eta on our epeen contest? I have been meaning to start overclocking but haven't had much time and when I do I usually play bioshock.

Well, if it's anytime soon, the results will be similar, except Blue will take second place and I'll be bumped to third because I haven't upgraded since the last one.

We should wait until Haswell hits and I upgrade. Then I'll have some prizes to contribute.

so i downloaded and installed Portal 2. I let my lil brother play it for 45-60 minutes. no trouble at all. no issues, like in Bioshock Infinite.


maybe just Bioshock? I uninstalled and am reinstalling
