83 is fine, don't bother messing with the heat sink out of the blue like that. You may do more damage. Had an old one that ran at 78 consistently. Trust me, until you start noticing weird stuff it isn't too hot yet. Things you want to look out for that do indicate overheatig: - the prime indicator are GPU artifacts, which are llitte white dots or lines that appear on your screen like static or snow - Temporary forced downclocking, resulting in a sudden FPS decrease that will last until the temperature has gone down - The computer will suddenly reboot or turn itself off - voltage issues, because an overheated GPU will eventually draw more and more energy, leaving too little for other hardware components Either way, it probably won't hurt to clean out the heat sink a bit. Leave the thermal grease alone unless you absolutely know what you're doing though.

Wish granted, but now you must always play the game in harcore mode (aka Wanderers Edition). I wish all these moving boxes would pack themselves.

It is a relative concept, a mistake easy to make when viewing the human race through the eye of a needle, the tiny frame of 'now'. What a human is or more accurately what it is worth is a concept that has been subject to a lot of change in our hundreds of thousands of years of recorded history. Will there still be 'human' life in the faraway distant future? Sure. Would we be able to relate to it on any level? I don't think so. For all intends and purposes, everything, our biology and technology, but most decidedly our culture and values will all have gone extinct.

John's got brewers droop he gets intimidated by the dirty pigeons, they love a bit of it ... Half-Life! Who's that gut lord marching, you should cut down on your porklife mate, get some exercise! ALL THE PEOPLE SO MANY PEOPLE THEY ALL GO HAND IN HAND HAND IN HAND THROUGH THEIR HALF-LIFE (sorry, I figured there would be a lot of similar answers, so I had to tard mine up a bit. )

Wait, last year's Poland jokes are making more sense to me now. Carry on.

That would do less damage than you might think. Yes there will be some shortcircuiting until things dry up, but generally speaking the acid and the sugary goop left behind will have no immediate effect on any circuitry A while ago I lobotomized an old P3 to see how much damage it could take and maybe debunk a few myths in the process. I zapped every component thoroughly with static electricity, but I was unable to break anything. I tried the water approach without results. Then cola, since there are so many lovely myths around that substance, but basically it was the same deal. Another thing to keep in mind is that water conducts electricity pretty badly. Some industrial cooling solutions actually involve submersing hardware into different, non-conducting liquids. Shortcircuiting hardware generally doesn't do any damage either. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with the state of PSU's these days, or the simple fact that current going to the wrong place doesn't actually break anything. It's just electricity going into a place designed to handle electricity. RAM resets itself after the power goes off and any harddisk automatically decouples its I/O head when there is a power spike. Well to top it off, I screwed open the protective cap of the CPU and poured cola directly onto the exposed core. That did have an effect, at least for while. Slowly it started baking out the sugary mess. About a week after the incident the computer started to boot again. It was like a scene out of Evil Dead. Because at this point I simply wanted the machine dead, I attempted the classic mistake lots of people have when using a screwdriver around a mainboard: apply too much force. I left some good scratches on the circuit board and that did the trick. I think in today's society, we're really more ruled by myth and superstition than we realize. We live further away from the cold hard truths of life, and yet understand less of how things work. It's odd, but then things would be so boring if we weren't scared of microwaves and cellphone radiation or giving too much sugar to children.

Ross, where did you get that car music? I think I've heard it before somewhere, but I can't figure out what it is. Edit: NEVER MIND. It occurred to me to look at the end of the video.

Just found this, thought I'd share it a bit. DayZ is an interesting little social gaming experiment on its own, but you don't need to know about it in order to appreciate the video. These guys supposedly don't have much time to animate this series, but it sure isn't stopping them from attaining pretty high production value.

Haha. You all think you can predict Ross.

Not touching it until all three titles are released together in a nice box. And someone merges them together into a single game (like they did with Baldur's Gate), so I get the best gameplay elements for all games. FTW.

An erotic story about love blooming between two young boys at a French boarding school in the mid 1850s..

I've been meaning to play the HL2 version of the mod, but it is just too darn buggy.

Unless you're a terminator. True, but we're talking about shipping... The insight!

Nice. It really doesn't overlap anywhere? Someone should draw some concept art on what the entire facility looks like from up in the air.

Pretty good.

Yes, but I did envision more hot bitches.

Not true. I bought 5 guns from Poland, and they got here in 7 days. I believe you. Breivik didn't have many problems with that either.

Ah, old country. Hardware gets still gets shipped by the mule express in Poland.

*begun

Yes folks, you've heard it. Time to go home, there was nothing to discuss here in the first place.

Their practical jokes don't work.

Getting repeatedly abused by Machinima.com. I love that stuff.

Ah, well.

The Cradle, in Thief 3. It's a haunted orphanage where children were abused and such. It was then turned into an insane asylum. Besides being one of my favourite locations in a game, it is also the most creepy one I know of.
