I'm in the same boat as you Tach. I was here a bit before you, but not during the MW2 & 3 days. I haven't been on any other teams but I simply haven't wanted to, I really enjoyed the drops I was involved in. Crick- I tried comms a few times a couple weeks ago but always seemed to miss you. I'll ...

The link is: http://www.fraps.com/ It's a pretty small download and it's pretty easy to use. I was going to benchmark mine at the various resolutions & settings to see how much the performance varied. Mine does get a bit choppy in combats sometimes and I see a momentary lag when I change directi...

Benchmarking your MW4

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had bothered to bechmark their system's frames per second performance under MW4? I just downloaded the FRAPS program and was going to test out my performance at various settings. I was hoping someone else has done that, especially if you have something newer than ...

Sounds good, Tach! Are you actively looking for the fights or do you get a lot of challenges?

Tach,

I signed up once a long time ago but never played. I read a lot of the posts and it seemed like a lot of the guys were always gripin' about something, so I got turned off to it. You've liked the competition so far?

<S> I'd certainly like to give it another try. I even got the OK from "the boss". I think it would be easier to try and pick certain nights and a time range. I think weekdays would work best for me. I got HC4 downloaded but I will try to set it up sppn. Tach- got any configs that work good...

General Slam <S> Nice to see you getting the urge to take the Cauldron-Born out. Tach has been kindly helping me keep up with the new updates. I have the MekTek stuff running though I may be one HC behind. I have gotten in a few servers and it has been fun, if not terribly victorious for me. I also ...

Well thanks for making the suggestion. I glanced through their thread and it makes the head swim. I'd make a comment but I would sound pretty clueless. Hell, pick a planet in the timeline that got fought over during 3067 and let the clanner teams take on the IS teams, stock and all. That would be re...

Tach, Thanks again for keeping us all clued in on the MW front, it is appreciated. If there are any updates or patches, I am sure we would all appreciate the notice. I was testing out the 2.1 the other night and got in some decent fights. I still suck but it felt good when I did get in the occasiona...

How's everyone?

Hey guys, I'm guilty of dropping off the face of the earth lately. How's everyone doing? We got busy over tha past weeks raising a bunch of stray kittens I found outside my office. We managed to find homes for 2 of them and we might end up keeping one of them. I also went up to GenCon in Indianopoli...

He could easily be referring to either subject, and they both are related. Some rocks are formed by the precipitation of minerals from water, such as gypsum. And gypsum even has H2O in its chemical formula. As far as rock carving goes, I would think the water content in the rock you are working on h...

BH, I am a geologist by education and trade, though I don't think I can think of much off the top of my head to help you. There are a lot of folks into minerals & gems that haven't been schooled in geology but know a lot more than I on this subject. Some web searching and looking for carving boo...

Sorry to hear about your modem, Tach. Glad you got it working but sorry they gouged you. I use NewEgg.com for most of my comp stuff- good prices on most items and when they say it's in stock, they mean it. I think the regular shipping is 2 day but I assume you can pay more for overnight. <S>

I haven't seen that one before, thanks for sharing. What a way to use your system. I wonder if my Tbird 950 would do it, they run pretty hot.

Thanks for sharing that post, Bullseye! We can always hope, anyway. I just hope they work on making the multiplayer aspect of it as smooth as a lot of the shooter games like UT, Quake, etc. Would also be nice if there's a simple checkbox in the server that sets it to Pure tech so there's not chance ...

Thanks for the warning, Tach. I turned off my restore & ran my AV program. It didn't detect it so I guess I don't have it (knock knock).

I don't recall ever running an Annihilator but looking at the specs in HeavyMetal Pro, I see what you mean. I guess I'm not gonna complain too load, at least the MekTek guys are willing to put all this work into the game to keep it going. Just too bad they can't crunch it through a new graphics engi...

Cool Tach, thanks for the link! I guess that guy has a LOT of heat sinks.

Any Mechy or MegaMek games planned by anyone??
