Only people who give really bad reasons or exagerate out of control. Though it isn't so much Redicule as "Counter point". Though I guess if you take that as ridicule I guess I am rediculing you.

Compared that the people in support of Spore don't exactly exagerate or make up information... it is hard to really as you seem to define it "Redicule" them.

Though people love to "Ridicule" them with very "Rediculous" statements.

Go nurse your pride on fallacies somewhere else, I'm not going to even bother attempting to communicate with you as you seem to think you're the smartest here.

Anyhow Torak... Define Fanboy

Every last post of yours in this topic has around the same amount of content that supports your thoughts as Spore being a 'good game,' while you ridicule the people who give the same arguements for why it's a bad game.


So,

Fanboy (Noun):
Neonivek.

Well I guess... if Fanboy means someone who was always right... but I doubt it.... Since frankly "No amounts of mods can fix Spore" is blatant Trolling anyhow. while "Stop trolling" isn't Blatant Fanboyism.

You're being egotistical about being a fanboy, how cute.

No amount of useless trolling can fix you.
See?
People seriously, stop with the random useless trolling.
At least provide valid reasoning...

Go read the last 63 pages or just stop being such a blatant fanboy.

Torak, could you update your first post with these infos?: The name of the DF fans who will play Wesnoth online, what timezone these people are in, what will be their in-game nick.

If you, or someone else, makes the list, I'll put it into the main post. This computer takes 20-30 seconds just to load each page and I really don't have the patience to make it with that wait.

It smells like a computer's inner areas, irony, no burnt plastic smell, but that'd probably have gone away after a couple weeks since it originally burned out.

In order to verify, here's some pictures of said 'yellow stuff':

Update: I've just opened up the PSU, it looks normal, except for this yellow stuff melted onto a bunch of areas, there's enough of it to make me think that it's there because they made it that way, I'm not sure.

A serious fail like that is indicative of two things: It's your PSU or mobo.

My old computer is a factory Compaq SR1820nx with 1 GB of ram and a relatively good Geforce 6600 installed into it, when checking inside the case there was nothing wrong with the motherboard externally such as melting, broken connections, etc, so I highly doubt anything is wrong with it. I haven't taken out the PSU in order to check inside of it for damage, I guess the best thing for me to do would be to go inside of it and check for melted components(?), since the stuff I installed may or may not have, over the years, been slowly overworking it to death.

I'd say it's a problem with the power supply.  If you notice that the fan and video card (monitor) are not working when you try to boot, it would be too coincidental for both of them to go bad at the same time.

The fans didn't work until I unplugged the power supply long enough for it to power off completely, and after that the fans would run way above normal speed and the monitor would still not turn on.

Why would you try to repair a dinosaur like that?  You can probably get a computer twice as good for less than your Ebay rush shipping.

There's a good your graphics card and RAM won't work in any remotely modern machine, but seriously RAM is dirt cheap anyway.

You misunderstand, I am using an old computer I had stuffed away in some extra space, my old computer was a beast. Atleast slightly beastly considering my lack of money.

Life Advice / My computer is deader than a Goblin amongst Giant Molerats

My computer froze one night in the middle of a play-through of Morrowind (inspired by the banter of it in the Fallout 3 thread, no less).

No issue, I thought, I will just turn it off then on, and continue from the last autosave. I turn it off, then try to turn it back on. It turns on and doesn't run the fans or anything internal, not even the monitor. I don't think of this as a major problem, so I go behind the computer and unplug everything including the power. I replug them all and try another boot.

This time the computer runs, but wrong, meaning the fans go off and run at 1000% of safe speed, and the computer beeps once every few seconds. I am knowledged in compaq beep codes and decided to look it up, there was nothing on a single beep beep code. I assumed it was something wrong with the processor and was adamant that a new one would fix 'er right up.

Skip three days later, after getting a great bargain on Ebay for the exact same processor as the one I had before, I go through the steps of replacing it. After getting it all nice and snug inside, I try another boot. To my despair, the same thing happens as before.


So here I am, using my 10 year old computer with 100 MB of ram and a prehistoric amount of processing power, and it runs Windows ME, hooray! I have no idea what to do next, I've tried brainstorming to no avail. I may try getting a new computer with the same DDR compatibility so i can just take the RAM and video card out of my old one along with the harddrive.

Or maybe not, if someone can tell me what the hell happened to my computer, I was thinking it was the power supply or something like that.

Other Games / Re: What defines the quality of games?
« on: December 23, 2008, 05:59:19 pm »
- Gameplay that is thought out. But it's not really a game breaker for me, such as how I love the hell out of Dynasty warriors since I was a lad.

- A story and dialogue that takes into consideration that some people actually may care about what it consists of, such as games like Baldur's Gate, Fallout 1, Gothic.

- Music and sound effects of quality. I like a game where the sound effects feel real and not forced, like a loud ding whenever you click a button (See: Mount and Blade, which has some of the best in-battle sound effects with some modding, but the annoying CLANG when you press a button), and more importantly an option to turn off the music if it's bad(It's becoming an OCD thing for me, I need my music playing, no matter what, in the game, Winamp is on nearly 24/7 on my computer).

- Playability. By this, I mean the game does not just drag on, you have motivation to continue, not just by getting an achievement or some mundane skill increase, but by making you, the person, feel compelled to continue for reasons unknown.

- Re-playability. I'm fine with old games which had linear stories considering the size and market restraints, but not now, games which make you ride a rail to the end are horrible in my opinion, such as every Call Of Duty(Or FPS of the same category) game ever.

- Graphics, I don't care. I really don't. Long as there's no immersion breaking graphics in there, like a guy with a head on his leg.

Stronghold was a great game, along with Crusaders. 2 and Legends are horrible.

Though off topic, I would like to mention this is how I ALWAYS manage to spell 'Morrowind' the first time while typing it.
