3z levels up, line a wall with weapon traps with 10x training spears each. Move a tile back and continue building up. Basically, at 3z's up make a lip and put training spears there. Enemy may dodge sending them tumbling to the possibility of a broken bone, or broken brain.

Life Advice / Re: Alienware...just why.
« on: October 24, 2012, 03:24:23 pm »Problem solved.
Truly, I feel like I should burn down both Dell and those they hire as telephone helpers.
"The Hard Disk isn't read."
"Have you tried inserting the operative system?"
"It doesn't read the disk."
"Have you run the setup?"
"It gives no errors."
"Have you tried inserting the operative system?"
"It doesn't read the disk."
I had this sort of loop conversation with an operator for a while, until I finally caved in and closed the telephone...then did what I thought I'd never do.
I pried open the case and roared at the inner circuitry.
That's when I realized just what the mistake was.
Those god...those id...those bas...those F...
YOU HAVE FOUR FRIGGING SLOTS TO PLACE THE DAMN HARD DISK INTO! FOUR!
YOU NEED TO HAVE IT in the lower LEFT.
No, you have to put it in the lower RIGHT.
...
God bless Youtube, because without it, I'd still be looking cluelessly around.
So...
in the most anticlimactic way possible...
*push*
*hard disks pops out*
*press*
*hard disks goes in the correct slot*
*pc boots up, and now works*
...
I'm done.
Next time my brother wants a pc, I'm sending him to the mines to build one from the raw materials.
This is how it usually goes. I had a family member who had written her computer off for scrap. I took the side off and inspected it, one of her DIMM chipsets was loose and the computer didn't like that and just constantly BSOD'd. Pushed it back in the right slot and all was well. Crazy how big problems tend to actually be little.

« on: October 23, 2012, 07:50:16 am »There's a button for changing elevation view. Also there's a crouch button. Use it.The elevation button either had me with a view that made only the wheels of the skyranger visible, or had the entire thing, but the insides completely obscured.
Am I bad at video games?

« on: October 23, 2012, 07:38:08 am »I tried playing XCOM: UFO Defense
I got to the point where I was landing a skyranger at a landed UFO and realized I had no idea what the hell I was doing.
That is the correct way to play it.
Is it also correct to get one person out of the ranger, be unable to see anyone inside of the ranger anymore, accidentally press a button and get the one rookie you got off killed? I played with buttons and some seemed to change the view of what I was looking at but I never could figure out how to select anyone else, let alone actually get them off the damn thing...

Well what I'm wondering is why more people don't station trade. I just keep turning ISK over in the markets making sure I have as much put into it as possible and out pops more isk. Probably been online a total of an hour today, or atleast paying attention to EVE, and I've made about a 50% profit on my ISK today, and thats been while fighting with people attempting market manipulation (someone dumped like 3 mil units something about 5 isk above what the buy orders were on one item) Tho I profitted greatly from that as I bought like 1/4th his stock and waited for the market to return to normal
