'Alexis' is a girl's name in Australia/America.

I remember the Seinfeld episode where Kramer tried to get Jerry to "camcord" a movie for his friend. It was rather funny.

I can't log in! I'm trying mIRC and the gamesurge java client and both ways I can't get in!

Will a mod please pin this so more people will see it and be aware of it. We need more people in irc. That's a good idea, but I think this topic has become really confusing. We need a new pinned topic with 1)the address for mIRC 2)the webpage http://www.gamesurge.net/chat and 3) information on how to log into them - and all on the first post.

When I've got crap to do that is really pressing (Ie due in a few days) games don't get in the way, and if I try to slack off I'll just start panicking so I have to work or I won't enjoy the slacking off, no matter WHAT game I play. But games may cause me to start my school-work later than I normally would have, so yeah

Alright! I bought everything (except the hard-drive) - I ended up buying a motherboard without an on-board video-card and a radeon 9200SE (128 megs) because it worked out to only $35 more and an external card is better than an on-board card apparently because it won't take up any of the mother-board's clock-speed or something. Plus I think the on-board 9200 would have only been 64 megs and this one is 128 so that's a definite bonus! Now I have to wait for my friend who's good at computers to come home, so I can arrange for him to install the stuff for me!

Ahh yes, I've read about that What theories of Freud's DIDN'T involve anal pleasure when you were a baby?

What crowd? I don't see any crowd.

youch...how'd that happen?

Awesome! I hope the chanka emulator writers don't mind tho, we don't wanna scare them off the project already

I betcha heyachi will either a) come back to life, or be a zombie or something

I don't really think these companies can put a price-value on their losses, because doing that would assume people would by the full-priced versions if the counterfeit ones weren't available. For example, say counterfeit-stores sold 1 million counterfeit games at $5 a peice, but real games retailed at $50. Nintendo could claim that they lost $50 million in sales. BUT that is assuming that every single game that was sold would be sold legally if counterfeit sales weren't happening. In the above example, people could buy 10 games at a time for $50 (the price of one legit game), so they'd be alot more inclined to buy alot of games. However, if the counterfeit games weren't available, the 10 games that would have cost $50 now cost $500 - and there'd be alot fewer people buying 10 games at a time. Therefore, if Nintendo claimed they lost $50 million in sales, that would only be on the basis of $5 million spent on counterfeit games. It's exactly the same as record companies claiming that every song downloaded is a direct loss in sales - that is simply not true, as people wouldn't necessarily buy the CD even if they couldn't download the song for free. So, too, is Nintendo claiming to lose money on sales that probably wouldn't even happen.

Hey, screw you, Emsley, bass is the coolest instrument around! And anyway, every man and his dog (and his dog's fleas also) play guitar, but bassists are more rare so

Hey, I like it, it works fine for me...I was just saying that it's not a Pioneer or a LG but a lite-on.

Thought I'd post a pic of my bass, seeing as everyone else is posting pics:

I already have one - but it's a lite-on.

I just said I had a bass-amp, didn't I? I have a squire Precision in sunburst woodgrain.

Maybe, but my budget will only stretch to an athlon- 2600, a p2.4 or a celeron p2.8, so I figure I may as well get the celeron p2.8

i have a perfecltly good sound card, I'm planning on soon getting a radeon 9600xt, and i have a dvd+/-rw burner.

So, will it work or not (the motherboard w/ the cpu)? If not, what type of main board would I need?

Actually, emsley, bass amps, as long as they're powerful enough, are great guitar amps. My brother uses my 1600W Fender bass amp with his Gibson and it sounds great

Well, it's long-past due, but I'm upgrading my PC. Here's what I'm thinking of buying: Western Digital 80GB 7200rpm ATA100 8MB WD800JB Apacer 512MB 400MHz PC3200 CAS 3.0 DDR DIMM Intel Celeron 2.8GHz (400MHz FSB) Retail Box & Fan ASUS P4R800-VM Sock478 ATI9200IGP Dual DDR400/AUDIO/VGA/LAN Any comments? By the way, here are my current specs: Intel Pentium 3 733MHz 256MB SDRAM 15GB HDD This upgrade will be an improvement, no?

I just did - no-one's talking
