The *Official* Pittsburgh Melee Weeklies Thread of the LoL WoW Love

[PGH Carroll]

I like... I'm probably not going to a tourney for a while.. Financially draining.. And I'm not good. I really don't wanna go just to lose money like always. Idk. I just wanna Compete..

Also Naka bring that project M to duq Friday. I need to play it!!!

 

[Nakamaru]

I had sushi recently. Still not sure what all the hype is about but it is good. Just not THAT good.

This tournament isn't until end of June start of July. Lol. So I think you've got time to save up day moneies. And you go to tournaments to get better. Just gotta believe man. Believe. You did well at this last tournament. I saw the vids. What's all this hub bub about not being good eh?

And I can bring it. Seemed to be a decent hit last week.

 

[jbro]

Awesoooome. I should be able to get a passport by then, too.
woooooo

 

[Vyke]

Project M was hella fun and a nice change of pace from the usual suspects. If only you had the most update-to-date version though, the only thing it really lacks is a larger roster.

I enjoy Sushi for a few reasons. It reminds me of the time I get to spend with my mother, it comes in many different refreshing varieties (I haven't tasted a bad piece of sushi yet), it's the only thing I eat with Wasabi, and it comes with pickled ginger... and I love ginger. Thanks to this whole Sushi/Sashimi-Hype (Apparently?) the prices for it are low enough to not be absurd like most other imported or complicated-to-prepare eating arrangements.

tl;dr sushi ****ing rocks.

 

[PGH Carroll]

Alright word. I'll bring my recording stuff or the Pittsburgh combo video. It shall be amazing.

But I just feel like if I was just a little better I'd be beating these people. Like idk what it is. I guess solid tech skill isnt enough. I gotta get really fast. Idk I'm just salty about the money I lose. Lol

 

[Vyke]

That's the main reason I don't go to tournaments or travel to events that much anymore unless they're pretty close, Carroll. The only reason I ever go is to root my pals to victory and hang out with a generally cool community of gamers. I realized a long time ago that I don't have the motivation or the funds to keep up. I mean, I could have the funds... but they aren't my funds. I don't want to spend cash I didn't earn unless it's to live.

But the Canada thing sounds fun and a nice change of pace.

Solid tech skill isn't enough unless your making a tech skill video. You're playing other people in a game that involves a complex series of varying thought processes. You have to be smart and consistent to win. Your attitude in this game, as well as life, is determined largely by your expectations; if you think you should be winning or placing high at every tourney you go to then you're gonna rage quite frequently. Your loss varies on so many levels that it can never entirely be on you. One of the biggest problems I've seen in this community is the inability to give credit where credit is due. If people gave credit we would have an ACCURATE tier list, john-less players with better attitudes, and a much more developed metagame. You got 9th out of 50 in a region you aren't a part of, so I'd be happy with that. As long as your making progress there's no need to get down on yourself. Set realistic goals. . . . . We all wanna be the very best.

@John-

Too much hilarity in your last couple posts. like, they induced EXPLOSIVE bowel movements from laughter. o.O

And that place is called Little Tokyo. It is a great japanese joint with a sushi bar and booths for like, hibachi dinners. There is also another location of the same restaurant called Little Tokyo Bistro on the South side in the 20th something block.

@Carol-

Still wreckin my ***** man. Yoshi for life.

@Jacob

GRAVEDIGGER WI................ flips his truck and dies horribly.

 

[silentSWAG]

word on miners to canada

 

[HollaAtchaBoy]

Thanks for kinda sigging me, Vudujin!

 

[Nakamaru]

Jacob, can i quote that for a thread that i'm working on?

 

[Republican0fHeaven]

That is a good quote. Damn good.

And how much would it cost to get a passport, do ya guys know by chance?

Who said it was gone? It's just moved!

 

[Vudujin]

@ Naka: Yeah, just lemme edit the grammar error real quick. If you want me to elaborate on those 3 things about giving credit I can PM it to you.

@RoH: It's like $110 or something for a new one.


On a much less intelligent note: As of today I've officially pooped every color except purple and blue.

 

[jbro]

I'm gonna have to get one, I went to Canada once years and years ago on a school thing but we had to jump through a bunch of hoops. Also having one will make me feel like James Bond.

This thread wasnt ready for this...

Reach into your souls brothers

[PGH Carroll]

alright im about to get inception on you guys
i just got a computer and have been using google chrome. and its doing something REALLY annoying. specifically here. when ever i click in this box to type something it highlights the whole box to a color that makes it very hard to see what im typing



anyone know how to stop it from doing that? id like to see what im typeing. it also does it in other places like facebook seach bars.. ughhh

 

[Vudujin]

Get a Mac.

 

[PGH Carroll]

what a 1000th post. but on the real..

 

[Skyshroud]

Get a Mac.

 

[PGH Carroll]

come one. i thought you guys were nerds!!!! lol

 

[Republican0fHeaven]

You'd think there'd be a simple solution.

This is the best I could find:

Chrome and Safari put a glowing blue border around text area when they are in focus. You can remove it by adding this CSS code into your form CSS code (use the Edit CSS menu):

input:focus, textarea {
outline: none !important;
}

On the topic of tech support, I believe I just got my first virus in a year and a half. Pretty good run for me!

A couple days ago my computer randomly muted itself while I was listening to music. I went in to volume controls and discovered the Mute All to be checked, and simply clicked it off. Every reboot since, however, the Mute All option is on upon startup and cannot be clicked off without almost immediately re-checking itself. Additionally, Firefox cannot be closed and then reopened, claiming it's "already running," without restarting my comp entirely and I'm suddenly getting good 'ol debugging pop-ups and ****.

ComboFix, which seemingly worked to correct this the first time, is no longer opening.

Luckily everything still seems functional, however, so is there any recommendable software / whatever else that might take a swing at this? I obviously don't have the money to take it in, lulz.

LOL

@Alan: try Spybot S&D, it's mostly for spyware, but catches a lot of viruses too. As for the Firefox thing, that used to be a known issue with Firefox and might have come back (Mozilla has a habit of doing this... dat memory leak). No clue on the mute thing though, that's weird as hell.

Let me know if Spybot doesn't find it

What's going on is the virus is stopping your antivirus from being booted. Try running in safe mode (if you haven't already), and see if you can't get it running from there. Getting a different antivirus (like Malwarebytes), isn't going to help as long as the virus is capable of blocking it. If you can't get it open by running in safe mode (you should also right click the program and use "Run as administrator"), you're going to need to get some kind of process killer that will take down the virus for a window to get your antivirus running. The virus shouldn't be able to shut the program down once it's in action, it should only be able to block startup.

 

[Vyke]

I haven't had a Virus in like...

2 1/2 years.

I stopped browsing non-legit sites.

 

[takieddine]

Malwarebytes is used by professionals and is free.

 

[Da Shuffla]

Malwarebytes is used by D.A. Shuffla and is free.

I love Smash.

Hate this homework I should be doing.

Oh, and that violin medley is sick.

 

[ranmaru]

Anyone want to Megabus up to the Toronto tournament? I'll keep track on the dates so we can grab tickets at their cheapest.

You can megabus all the way up there??? AWESOME

 

[Vyke]

That's how they got down here. 5$ round trip, the lucky *******s.

 

[M@v]

What taki said. I use Malwarebytes on my computer and rarely if ever have issues.

I felt the same way. That's why I kinda retired after P5, but I loved smash and the community so I couldn't stay away. I even REGRET not making it to Apex this year. I would like to see ya at the Canada national tho.

 

[Skyshroud]

It's not going to work if he can't open the program. One of the first antivirus blocked by anything that infects your system is Malwarebytes. Also, combofix is a more powerful and more accurate tool (albeit slightly dangerous). The problem isn't the right antivirus, it's getting one to run.

Alan, another suggestion I forgot earlier:

You could install antivirus software on a cd (hopefully you have another computer available to do so), and then force your computer to boot from the cd/dvd drive. It'll skip the OS and run straight into your software, which you should be able to scan your c:/ and/or d:/ drives from there.

 

[Vyke]

Alan isn't tech savvy, he just (used) to play Warcraft.

You gotta drive down there, mang.

But maybe this is his convenient excuse to get a new computer...

 

[takieddine]

Malwarebytes doesnt get blocked by any malware as far as i know, i use avast and that doesnt either. If your program is getting blocked from running by malware, then its maybe time for something better.

BTW if the virus actually stops your anti-virus, its gonna stop task manager. What i suggest is CTRL+ALT+DEL as your computer is STARTING to boot into windows this should bring up task manager without being blocked, kill all suspicious processes, open anti-virus and schedule a boot-time scan, as that is most effective because it will be unaffected by already running malware.

EDIT: Matt are you sure you can boot from an anti-virus CD? I've never heard of that. I know you can schedule boot-time scans from the actual software itself once in regular windows or safe mode.
