Stop it this instant young lady
I'm alright now, I've had my kick.

I really need some sleep, but every time I lay down, my cat gets up and circles me and jumps on things I don't want her to, so I reluctantly get up... only for her to calm down and go to sleep once I'm on the computer. But let me lay down again, even if she's sleeping... starts all over again.

What is your budget and are you willing to build your own?

I highly, HIGHLY suggest building your own. It's not nearly as hard as you think and I can point you in the direction of some youtube videos and helpful websites. Also if you know anyone who has ever built one before ask them to help you. It's a really fun and rewarding experience and you'll get a better computer that does exactly what you want for less money while learning a bunch of stuff about computer hardware. For your first computer it will probably take 3-4 hours to build it from scratch.

If you really don't want to build your own, I'm going to suggest at least finding one with a pretty good CPU and then just replacing the GPU and PSU which are both very easy to replace. This will be more expensive though not tooo bad.
I'd say around 1000-1500$, and yes I want to build my own... its just I have no idea where to start lol

Ooh with that budget I can certainly help you out. I just built myself a computer a month ago and did weeks of research on products so I'm pretty familiar with current stuff. When I have time I'll outline some stuff.

Edit: if you want to start looking at some stuff yourself try building a computer with this website:

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/34qhc

That is the computer I built but with different ram and a different motherboard. I'll go over stuff in a bit.

Huh, fewer parts than I expected...

Hmm, I wonder if I can use my old computer as a monitor + speakers...

PC building is like the world's most fragile lego, just follow instruction, fit bit A into slot A, and you'll do fine

Brother's HDD just failed.

He's literally half dead from depression.

I let him use my laptop for now while he savs the money to get a replacement. ;_;

Does anyone here know if Logical Increments is a good reference for what parts to buy when building a PC on a budget?

Don't be holding out on us man!
Unless you found them out in wherever it is that you live, then they might as well not even exist

In St-Eustache :)

Its kind of hit or miss, but you can find controllers almost perfect for 20$ easy. Wakka bought a working controller for like 10$. just needed a good clean.

I got 1 for 8$ from a random dude, but the controller isn't working properly. I'll end up just using the shell or something. and I got a silver one for 20 which is working perfectly. :D

I am genuinely upset at westballz rn. he could have picked any other option and he would've had enough points to where even a top 10 at SKTAR would net him MLG seeding

that is prolly the most heartbreaking ending to a smash match I've seen in a long time
I have to ask, why is the url ShadowyUnderstatedDaddylonglegs? And lol at Hungrybox rolling on the ground.


Also,



Seriously, this pisses me off to no end.

that's just gfycat's weird way of generating an end-url I guess

I'm pretty sure every 'smash god' except for hungrybox is going to SKTAR. west needs top 5 in order to get MLG seeding now

god help him

Melee players going to SKTAR:
Mew2King
Mango
PPMD
Armada
Nintendude
Professor Pro
Chu Dat
Chillin
DJ Nintendo
The Moon
Cyrain
Darc (also participating in PM)
Duck
HugS
Ken
KDJ
DEHF
Milkman
SFAT
Pikachad
Shroomed
s0ft
Hax
vidjo
WhiteboyWasted

Yep, it's going to be really freaking stacked considering West needs to get Top 8, maybe even top 5.

Also, fun fact, PPMD is finally teaming. In Melee, he's teaming with Mango (M2K is teaming with Armada) and in PM he's teaming with ESAM.

Apparently 9B is also trying out PM. Let's see how this goes.

Everything is expensive to a man with no income. :_;

Also, you know a bit about computers. Could I ask you to recommend a good place to find some HDDs for good prices?


Edit : Probably important to note it's a HP Notebook.

Newegg.com, Always good prices ! :D
Been looking there for some time.

Been looking through the $25-$50 price range tab as money is scarce.

They said the same thing about apartheid, the tea tax and bloodletting. There is a better way of doing things, and I for one have a vested interest in seeing this game improve.
The word you were looking for is productive.
this guy just compared GNW's Judgement hammer to the Apartheid
i haven't been this baffled since Poundslap said Kirby beats Marth because he can duck under marths grab in melee

WTF kind of logic is that also if he ducks Marh's grabs so what he still have shield breaker and tippers to make you feel mad.

Apparently Hbox moved to AZ. AZ's like my favorite region in terms of Melee so it'll be cool to see him play against some of the top/retired top players there.

So M2K and HBox are moving to West Coast and Mango moved to East Coast, and PPMD is staying in East Coast. Now, it's balanced.

Wait M2K moving to West Coast when this gonna go down?

EDIT: Played like a braindead dupe and got rewarded at the end like a scrub.

He's moving to the West Coast towards the end of summer or so.
He'll be moving in with Sky, a Smasher who got internet fame through League of Legends/streaming/stuff.
m2k is going to try to get that stream life going once Smash 4 comes out so he doesn't have to travel 24/7 for a living.
