...and he's wondering where he's going and why he's in this handbasket...

Hi all. Kempez lured me here with multiple PM's promising 'candy' and 'fun times.' I'm a computer geek (like the rest of us). By day I'm an Assistant Controller at a Capacitor Manufacturing plant in Maine, by night (or evening) I'm a regular gamer with a penchant for computer tech (or a major geek if you listen to my wife...) I help out with a couple little LAN Parties in the New England area, MaxFrag and LPANE's NorEaster (plug plug). I've been playing video games since I was old enough to use the milk crate to give me enough height to reach the controls of the Pac Man machine. I'm 29 now, pretty frickin old in today's gaming standards. When people roll their eyes an say "Aren't you a little to old to be playing video games?" I just reply, "It's not the video games, I just go to be around all the young boys...." And that usually shuts them up and keeps them (and their annoying children) from ever bothering me again.
 
ROFL. I like the gaming excuse mate - i'll have to remember that one ;)

Welcome to the forums, and i'll be sure to send some candy your way (might only be eye candy tho :D )

EDIT: Love the avatar btw :worship:
 
welcome to the forum,ime a new member as well but i quickly found sx to be a great place with lots of nice ppl.

cheers.
 
Thanks guys.....

As for the avatar...I can't take credit for making it.....another guy had spliced a couple seconds from two Disney films ("Jungle Book" and "Fox and the House") and I said "THAT HAS TO BE MY AVATAR because it's just so messed up...."

Welcome to :anisx: mate, here u can be free and let out the inner-geek without getting an earful from the wifey (unless she monitors your internet activity of course ;)).

Anywho, what kind of rig u pimpin? Usually I'd check ur profile but I'm stuck on the crackberry for a few more hours till I get home from work.

:wavey:
 
Probably one of the best Athlon XP Setups I've seen/you can get actually :wavey:

Raptors in RAID 0, DFI Ultra-B, XP 3200+ Barton, 6800 Ultra and 2gb Corsair w00t :D
 
Kempez...you know me so well..... :worship:

Yup, that's the main goodies....no OC'ing right now....trying to lock down a stability issue I've had since a power surge came through the phone line during a lightning storm. Burned out the DSL Modem, my network switch, and the NIC port on my old motherboard (an Asus A7N8X-E). Since that surge I had random 'freezes' ....no crashing....just everything freezes hard. I might boot into windows and it would freeze....restart...play BF2 for 3 hours no issue...close out...open up IE and FREEZE. I replaced the mobo with a DFI one (those are freakin sweet.....the Damn BIOS is SO TWEAKABLE!) but last night while playing BF2 with Gamecomm going in the background I was having weird feeback and noise, even after I turned off EAX and set the sound to software....I'm thinking the soundcard (SB Audigy 2 Value) might be messed up as well....going to pull the card and see if the onboard gives me better stability.....

Argh! Let this be a lesson to any of you without surge supression on your phone or cable line!
 
Aw thats crap man. Slap in another Audigy and you should be set :D

My surge protector is on maa phone line atm, and we don't get much thunder/lightening like you guys do so I should be ok :D

Yeah - then OC that beatch - my Barton was nice to me :D
 
My surge protector does my LAN, and my cable TV connection to my compy aswell as the power, so I'm good :).
