OHBOYOHBOYOHBOY!!!

Went to my computer guy's workshop yesterday and checked out the progress on my gaming rig.



Never in my life have I seen such shiny and wondrous doohickies in a computer that I owned.

It's got copper tubes with a magnetic cooling fluid...

I am SOOOOO stoked!

I will finally be out of the stone ages...and stepping into pre-industrial age.

Now...if I can only come up with the 500 or so ducats to pay for all the shinies.

1. Will this be your next mod-project?

[MynameisBlarney]

2. Yes.

Yes it will.

[kentauros]

4. You'll be able to control the Steam Castle then

[MynameisBlarney]

5. Awesomesauce!

This was a great movie actually.

[kentauros]

6. It was indeed a great movie.

By the same studio and director of Akira.

There's another mod-theme you could go with s well, though I don't think the world would survive another Akira

[MynameisBlarney]

9. Yeah, Akira...

one of the best anime films of all time.
I'm just glad that the live action version was shot down.
you KNOW it was going to ruin it, lol.

[kentauros]

18. I thought they still made a Japanese live-action version?

An American version wouldn't have worked for American audiences, anyway. Way too deep, if they kept the original science fiction elements. Sci-Fi in the U.S. isn't thought-provoking. It's action and/or horror. Much as I'd like to see Ringworld turned into a movie, it would fail at the box-office.

[MynameisBlarney]

20. Not sure, but there probably was a Japanese live-action version made.

The American version was very harshly ridiculed before it even started filming.
I think it was shelved because of the online uproar.

[MynameisBlarney]

11. I wonder...

Are you familiar with Professor Elemental?

[kentauros]

17. No, but sounds intriguing :)

I'm not as big into anime as it may seem. I like the serious stuff, and next to none of the silly/cheap stuff. TCM showed a bunch of Miyazaki's and Takahata's movies a few years ago, so I got to see some of their dramas that were never shown on the big screen in this country (such as Takahata's "Only Yesterday".) Also got to see Porco Rosso which is funny and silly, yet beautifully done

[MynameisBlarney]

19. Professor Elemental is not anime

He's a tongue in cheek "chap-hop" rapper that is into steampunk.
Very funny videos and lyrics.

[kentauros]

21. I'm not normally into rap,

but his style sounds fun. I'll look him up

Although, for some reason, now I want to listen to some Kid Koala...

[MynameisBlarney]

22. The entire genre of "chap-hop" is pretty much just

Englishmen in clothing and facial hair-styles of the late 1900's politely disrespecting each other.
I find it to be hilarious.

3. I need specs

LOVE shiny doohickeys that glow

[MynameisBlarney]

7. He told me what everything was

but it went in one ear and out the other, I was mesmerized by all the shiny glowing doohickeys.

I know it's got the biggest graphics card I've ever seen.

None of this is new stuff, btw, or the best, but the price is right. He's helpin me build a budget gaming rig, it's all stuff from other computers he had laying around. It's better than what I've had before though, by leaps and bounds.

I know the gpu has 1gig of RAM on board and the system has at least 4 gigs of RAM.

Will be buying an SSD for it today...if I get paid. lol

I've been unable to play my game for about 6 months now, and my guildies are giving me hell, lol.

[backwoodsbob]

8. what game?

inquiring gamers want to know

[MynameisBlarney]

10. DDO

Dungeons and Dragons Online.
I like it because it's not filled with youngsters calling everyone noobs and asking for free shit.

It's old farts like me who used to or still play pnp DnD, who got bored/aggravated with WoW.

The combat is superior to any MMORPG I've played.

[backwoodsbob]

12. I havent tried DDO

I gave up on WoW.Looking for a new game

[MynameisBlarney]

13. Well, if you try DDO, (which I highly recommend).

Make sure you start off on the Orien server.
The name of our guild is "Winter is Coming" it's a small, but very active guild.
I could probably get you in, no problem. We will hook you up with shineys.

[backwoodsbob]

14. everyone likes shineys :)

I'll look at the cost...if I can get DDO cheap enough I'll be in

[MynameisBlarney]

15. It's F2P

But you can go VIP which means MUCH less grinding for XP and loots, and pretty much unfettered access to any area, if you meet the minimum level reqs.
Right before I had my computer problems, I paid 99 bucks for a one year subscription.

[MynameisBlarney]

16. Don't know if you're familiar with D&D lore

but the last expansion opened up the world of Eberron to the world of the Forgotten Realms.
Which is frickin HUGE.
