it seems like you're staying on the flash forum, unlike some regs who pop in for a day and then disappear again. I didn't get the chance to say welcome back properly :) so yeah, welcome back!

I can't promise anything ;( Like I said it's just fun to have somewhere to be able to talk about random stuff when I'm bored :D The general forum has always sucked, so.. yeah. I might come on every now and then to chat, a lot more regular than I used to :P Gotta make 12k posts eh? ^^

Massive lack of Knightmare, Get Your Own Back and Funhouse on your list.

Recess never gets old. I've been watching it for god knows how many years and I still like it (sad but whatever)

Old skool- Tom and Jerry (old good ones not that new crap)

Thats all I can be bothered to type now since I've got homework which isn't maths.

If (homework == maths){
gotoAndStop("finished");
}else{
gotoAndStop("boring");
}

Could be errors I'm not really paying attention to what I'm typing.

Maths and IT are the only subjects I'm any good at : / Luckily I go to a maths and IT specialist school :D

Y'know... I've been noticing that to. What's up with that?

Fads

I was into cardgames, Pokemon, Yugioh, you know, the good stuff. I also like those inflatable punching gloves. I forgot what those were called. But me and my friends were to hardcore to inflate them so we just punched each other in the face. And Rock em sock em robots, I think... Those were awesome. You pressed one button and your guy like, uppercutted the other guy. I love those.

I used to get called emo all the time because of my hair. For some reason I havent been called it for ages, my hair hasnt changed though! Oh well, I dont really dress emo, generally I just wear jeans/shorts and a t shirt.

Kind of on the same subject, I was out with a load of mates last night and the subject turned to the Dark Knight. One of the guys there ( I dont know him as well as the majority of other people there, but Id still easily consider him a good mate) like walked off as soon as it was mentioned and Another of my friends who knows him really went to speak to him, I could tell by the way he left he was upset about something.

Anyway, I was talking to the guy later on that night and it turns out last wednesday one of his close close friends (who spent a lot of his time in a K hole) hung himself with his face all done up as the joker from Dark Knight. Pretty fucked up stuff, a horrible way for a friend to die, as every time anyone mentions that film he will be reminded of his mates death.

just thought id throw that out there :D

LOL wow! That's amazingly sad, strange, and .. well whatever word would correctly juxtapose sadness and strangeness. The Dark Knight was a good movie, it would have been average + a waste of 3 hours of my life (well I saw it twice.. so.. 6) if the Joker wasn't such a perfect character :P

wow it takes so much time to find the right components for my computer. I need some advice on what to get. My top priorities is something that runs fast and is very silent, cause the computer i have now makes as much sound as an airplane lol. I would also like a good graphic and sound card. space isn't a priority though, anything 250gb+ will be enough.

here's the list i got so far :/

- case: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/143854 35pounds
- graphic card: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/146705 120pounds (it's REALLY expensive but i added it to the list cause it looks so cool). im pretty sure im gonna change this one.
- motherboard: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/129592 (40p) or http://www.ebuyer.com/product/126437 (60p)
- PSU: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/114945 67p. again, really expensive but i read so many good things about it.

the choices i made are probably bad because it's gonna end up being too expensive, that's why i need your help. I don't wanna get all the newest most expensive things, but at the same time I want to get something that I can keep for several years without having to replace tons of stuff because it's not compatible with new videogames.

In some other random news, MAYBE I MISSED THIS ON ANOTHER PAGE I missed like 3 pages and i dun has much time, so i only skimmed.
2 new ipods announced yesterday, new ipod touch and new nano, but is it just me, or does the nano look exactly like a zune rip-off? At least, with the whole video's sideways and much taller.... no wait.. it IS a zune.. but thinner, and yet the back still will scratch like a demon!
Sorry if i seem bias, I'm somewhat of a zune fan and i find this to be quite funny :P

I suggest getting "last generation" stuff, like.. an 8800 nvidia graphics card is £120 but a 8600 is £40.. I dunno much about graphics cards but I know 8600 is better than the 7050 I have on this PC lol.

I heard that 8800 is a decent upgrade over 8600 but if the price turns out to be too high ill switch. I say we all group up in luis's garage during the holidays and build great PCs

If we're making money off this send me an invite lol.

I just finished reading an insanely long article and apparently, although they are way more popular, intel processors are less performant than AMD processors. AMD MHz and Intel MHz aren't the same in the sense that 2.8 AMD GHz might perform better than 4.00 Intel Ghz, because intel use a system that has to guess between a right side and a wrong side (while predicting future sides for more efficiency), but each time it chooses the wrong side it needs to refill all the 20 (or 31?) pipeline stages.

So yeah. whenever you ask someone on the street if he knows a processor, 95% will say intel, but apparently AMD is currently more efficient. especially for gaming.

My brother fully supports AMD (he sells computers, and doesn't sell any intel) so i wondered why, he showed me a presentation, that showed the following:

AMD processors (at least those witha dual core) have two buses between the cores, for in and out of each core respectively. And Another two bus' on each core for in and out from other places, not to exchange data between cores.

In change, Intel processors (and probably all other brands) only have one bus between cores, and one bus extra for each core. That means that if a core wants to send information to the other core, but it is receiving information, it has to wait til the information receiving has finished, then it can send. Same goes for the in out of the core itself to the computer.

Also, the main pro about Intel against AMD is that since Intel is a really huge company, their cooling systems are way over AMD's. So, As a rule of thumb, NEVER overclock and AMD processor. :D

Altough if you overclock Intel, you can pretty much match AMD.

Uh.. no?

what do u mean when u say gaming. more like crysis or just any game? my computer is 2 years old and not very good but it runs excellent on the games i play - mostly WoW and CSS (not the most technologically advanced games but w/e :p)

Hmm, this makes it more tricky :P. I like liaams suggestion, but why not go as something more unique. What about pyramid head, that would be the most epic costume ever.

If you can afford it get a gtx280, best card around. Aswell as a quad core and plenty of ram. If you cant get that the 4870 almost identical and much cheaper. Toast, look on ebuyer for the power color 4850, that's just as good for less cash. And don't get that mobo, it's micro atx, you need a full atx board.

He should've ODed on sleeping pills if he was going to dress up as the joker.

Haha I love that.

I suggest, for a simple yet effective costume, a cardboard box. Just crawl around with it covering your body, using the lil handle flaps as eyeholes. You can pretend you're dressed as Solid Snake, but really you just found a cardboard box (why aren't they called cardboxes, so much easier) in an alley and equipped it. Shame on you.

Also: Since when is Kirk a mod? And me not? Shame he on!

While the fact that it is British spelling automaticaly makes it correct, I would like to expand on this with a seperate argument for mr Coaly.

The full word is ofcourse Mathematics, plural. Hence in shortened form it should also be plural; hence Maths, not Math, Math implies the full word should be Mathematic.
