Geez, we got DDoS'ed??! Who, and why?

Hehe, what a legend; the bear has its own preferences for beer! Actually, in my psych tute I learned that on certain holiday islands, maccau monkeys often drink the left-over alcohol, and that monkey population had the same proportions of drinking as man generally does - ie there's a similar percentage of maccau teetotalers (monkeys who don't drink at all) and human teetotalers; and there's a similar percentage between maccau total drunkards and human drunkards!

he did, but now he's enjoying single life really? I guess i'm not up on the newest hot 1emu gossip!

In an Australian country town's prison, you'd probably get beaten up for liking/playing games. I'm guessing, anyway.

You meant american football? Eeeugh.

I dunno about that...don't forget that Ray Liotta was Tommy Vercetti in GTA:VC.

No, but I will start my very own Fantasy Football Hooligan League and come to every match!

Yeah, one of the gcw groups (ie deviance)'ll crack them soon after they comeout

Feel that pain just.... your lower back? That's Microsoft...... us AGAIN .

I dunno, I'll probably just go with the 256mb pro. I'd say it'd be better than the 128mb xt anyway, plus I can get it locally.

they prob have ps's in jails in the US too...and Australia. Prison would still suck huge amount of balls though. PS when I first started reading this article I thought it was another video-games-turning-people-violent story. Especially when a riot was mentioned. Anyone else think similarly?

I too have noticed a marked decrease in the amount of posts. I don't know, however, if it is because of the rule change, because none of the premium members - IE the regular posters - seemed to complain when the rules were changed. Nevertheless, usually after a night not checking 1emu there's a whole page of replied to topics in current affairs, and for the past week or so, i've been lucky if there's been half a page of replied to topics after a night. That's a 50% decrease! (I know my system of measurement leaves alot to be desired, but you get my point though).

Random- I assume you are Australian. If you live in Sydney, check MSY out. MSY Computers As you can see, a GIGA-BYTE 128MB 9600XT is only $215 AUD. The 256MB is $265. A lot cheaper than what you thought. I personally got my 256MB 9600 XT from there- they have warranties and all that; it's above board. You should try there. Nice advice - I don't live in sydney but they may do mail orders - but the question is is it worth getting a 128mb 9600xt or a 256mb 9600 pro from a local shop for the same price?

Dude, you'll be fine: I have been back at uni for four weeks; I've had 1200 words worth of assignments to hand in, I've done a 25-minute presentation, countless small tasks, seven chapters worth of reading - and I have an exam in an hour. If I can do all that and still have time to post here lots, high-school is nothing to worry about.

I trust ebay about as far as I can throw it.

Pfft, lame. Actually I tell a lie, the owner of his estate is suing them... From what I heard the artist didn't care who reproduced the song without his permission.

I already said that the 9600xt is out of my budget. It's $315AUD whereas the 9600pro is $230AUD so getting the xt is not an option.

Unfortunately, my new PC is showing signs of not being able to run the latest games. Games like Deus Ex: Invisible war, Splinter Cell 2 and C&C Generals run pretty slow on my PC. And I think it is because of my GFX card. It was only going to be a temporary option anyway, so I'm thinking of upgrading. ATM my computer specs are ASUS P4S800 Motherboard P4 Celeron 2.8GHz CPU 512mbs of DDR400 ram (PC3200). Sapphire Radeon 9200se (128MB) This is the card I'm thinking of getting (I can't afford a 9600xt or a 9800): ATI Radeon 9600pro (256MB) DVI, EZ Don't ask me what "DVI, EZ" means as I have no idea, but what I want to know is, for such a big investment am I going to get a SUBSTANTIAL incrase in performance? Is it worth the money in otherwords

Yeah I just saw that last night. It's pretty cool, except the original owner of the song is sueing them for using his song without their permission

Don't worry- there's a big conspiracy where truckers all have auto-driving AI. You'll have plenty of time to check the forums on the road! Seriously though, good luck on your new job and it won't be the same round here without you Bye!

WOW. Great work Gamecop! This is great - no new games for ages and then BOOM! 22 more!

what the nonsensical evil bump?

Sounds like a pretty accurate description from over here!

Not to disappoint you, but you can say that the ladies in this board are non-existant There are a few. You just haven't noticed them yet Ithink Frost is a girl. The rest, i dun know The flaming begins again What flaming?? No, you're totally right -there was no flaming in that comment (i'm guessing) as Frost really is a girl (as far as we can tell).

Is that Cowboy Heston?
