My laptop loves to overheat randomly.

Like I could have it on for 3-4 days straight and it will be fine.

Other days it turns itself off after an hour or 2.

 

[Lythium]

Same here.

 

[theeboredone]

Guess I'm lucky...I've gone leaving Fallout 3 or NV on my laptop for 6 hours and nothing bad happened.

 

[OmegaXXII]

What odin said. Also desktops can be infinitely more powerful than laptops. Lastly, laptops will love to overheat on you, like mine does D:

If you have the tech savy, build your own. Cheaper and can make it uber awesome. I just ordered the parts for my first home built computer yesterday . Mad hyped.

Well if that's the case I should get a desktop with massive processing, I just want one that's going to handle Steam without lag.

My old laptop was fine, but it kept overheating and the lag was noticiable.

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

I just have a Gateway. I left it on a week straight but I don't want to risk over heats or anything. I give it a rest anytime I'll be away for a while.

Started watching this series on Gametrailers called "Pop-Fiction", it's basically a video where they test gaming's most popular myths.

Check out some of their episodes, I was blown away that

Spoiler

you could jump over one of the flag poles in SMB and that there was a legit way to play as Master Hand in SSBM.

(Forgive me if these are already well known...>.>)

The **** man that Melee one is crazy. I read up dozens of articles of Master Hand and his use in game, but this is literally the first time I actually hear of using this trick. Every other source just said it was only possible with the debug menu or gameshark codes :/

 

[OmegaXXII]

Hehe, I remember wanting to play so badly as him through an AR, yea those were the days...

 

[Fuelbi]

So after watching all those videos, is it me or did every game back in the day have at least one rumor?

 

[OmegaXXII]

Yes I believe so, like Sonic The Hedgehog, I always though I would face some ultimate boss after collecting all 7 emeralds .... Or the fact that the EGM posted that Sonic was playable in Melee, boy did I fall for that.

 

[ZIO]

Fuelbi, can you even get a bird avatar right? Sheesh

 

[Fuelbi]

Archimedes is awesome what are you talking about?

 

[ZIO]

Lol, surely you jest.



Also - I knew about both those pop fiction subjects you posted.

I figured out the flagpole one twenty years ago, lol. And the Master hand one voa Youtube.

"Let's Play" videos may soon be illegal:

Full Story

It kinda sucks, it means that even a kid posting something related to a music video on you tube to making a homemade game review could possibly lose the right to vote or jail time. <_<

 

[Lythium]

That's kind of the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.

GGs, America. Your tax dollars are well-spent.

I'm trying to not think about it. I really don't see this passing. That's really really dumb.

For real.

Yeah, well. :-/ Believe me, I hate this country sometimes. It's probably not any better anywhere else... ****in' tax man.

 

[F8AL]

Lol, surely you jest.

I didn't even think it was possible due to an invisible "wall" at the top of the flagpole, who would've thunk that? And I assumed you'd have to use game shark to play as master hand in SSBM.

My mind was blown.

Did you also know that you can get Mew in Red/Blue and maybe Yellow I forget without a gameshark?

 

[Fuelbi]

Yeah either the event you had to be lucky enough to attend or a glitch which doesn't count as legit

 

[F8AL]

Did you also know that you can get Mew in Red/Blue and maybe Yellow I forget without a gameshark?

Yeah, I just found out:

Dude!!

I should have known this 10 years ago! I'm going to do this now!!!

Also, I've always wanted Celebi for Gold & Silver for Game Boy Color, is there one for it?

 

[SupaSairentoZ7℠]

I remember when I found out about that I instantly started a new game.

 

[OmegaXXII]

Luckily I never finished mine, I'm like halfway through it right now, but I haven't played it in ages, though now that I found that out I'm going to finish it with all 151!

Not gonna lie, I really am annoyed by those wannabe "good" singers on youtube that make music videos of cover songs, while they are using a bunch of split screen effects on themselves playing different instruments. So I support that part 100%

But yea, I do think the bill will become more detailed...otherwise, we're gonna LOSE more money by putting more people in jail, which our tax dollars then pay for in order to support their needs while in jail >_>.

Plus it will suck if jails become over populated and we need to kick out more dangerous criminals back onto the street due to "good" behavior.

 

[OmegaXXII]

I'm trying to not think about it. I really don't see this passing. That's really really dumb.

I also hope it doesn't come to pass, they should be concentrating on real criminals or those who actually distribute and promote piracy, not a guy who's making a damn video game review. <_<

That's kind of the stupidest thing I've ever heard of.

GGs, America. Your tax dollars are well-spent.

I honestly believe if the government makes this bill come to pass it, we are gonna be expected to pay more in ****** taxes, which isn't necessary for housing people that didn't really commit real crime, it's pathetic if you ask me.

 

[finalark]

What a bull**** bill. What, we're going to focus our dollars on punishing people who record themselves playing video games instead of hunting actual criminals?

If that bill passes I will punch a donkey.

 

[Fuelbi]

This is why I don't consider myself American even though I'm a citizen

I like living here, I'm not going to demote an entire country that I've enjoyed living in my entire life just because I disagree with a few of the things we've done. People act like America is the only country that passes stupid laws and makes dumb choices. At least you don't live in Australia where nearly everything is ban due to a government that thinks its people will break down and kill everyone if they watch violent movies or play violent games.

tl;dr: America isn't that bad, if you don't like it here then GTFO. Although if something happens and the country collapses on itself Canada is a pretty cool place and I would move up there in such a situation.

Fuelbi, your dense is showing, buddy.

 

[theeboredone]

I think it's Singapore that has a law about not being allowed to chew gum? Lawlz....

And let's not forget the punishments and strictness of Saudi Arabia...women can't even drive on their own.

Anyways...if this bill does pass, imagine all the hacker activity that will rise up >_>

Yeah but but....AMERIKKKA

 

[finalark]

On a gaming-related note, I just bought Torchlight. Lets home my computer doesn't kill itself when I try to run it.

 

[OmegaXXII]

Don't you mean, It's America and we have freedom!? :D

 

[F8AL]

I remember when I found out about that I instantly started a new game.

I remember when I believed the myth that Mew was under that one truck in Pokemon Red. Tried for so long, only to have my dreams shattered.

At least I know now that there is a legit way to obtain Mew.

I also hope it doesn't come to pass, they should be concentrating on real criminals or those who actually distribute and promote piracy, not a guy who's making a damn video game review. <_<

The real criminals in the US are copyright violators, am I right?

This is why I don't consider myself American even though I'm a citizen

Even tho I'm Canadian and if this law does (somehow) get passed, it'll only affect me in minor ways since I'm subscribed to a bunch of people on YouTube who do gameplay commentaries. :x

Yes, I least I don't have to buy a game shark for this.

I wish I lived in Canada sometimes when such dumb bills are even considered in the U.S, lucky you.

I played the hell out of my red/blue games.

And being a kid with a Gameshark made it even better. All team Ivysaur each with a moveset that completely contradicts their native Type.

Then the shores of Cinnabar Island had MissingNo and that was also pretty darn awesome.


As a matter of fact, I had thought I had built the perfect team in of my playthroughs in pokemon Blue just to find out the entire team was weak against Ice, or was weak to some attack the first lady of the Elite four. Only recently did I go back to defeat her and the elite four.
