Combo-suicide best suicide, C/D?

Less jokingly, I feel ya... I was in a similar state of randomPCdeaththroespreventedmefromdoingstuffIwanted some time ago, it's not very fun at all.

Good luck with getting it fixed/replaced, will hold off on any un-marked spoilers, as always.

In more personal news my quest to play ME1/ME2 and chronicle it has taken considerably longer than expected since my log ended up being way more detailed and IC than I had ever imagined, and ME2 that I'm about to START ON NOW is a far bigger and more filling game than ME1. I expect I will be done with about 2/5 of the game and the log by the time ME3 hits. Oh well, I can wait, even if it's not optimal.

My motherboard and graphics card conspired to self destruct together today.

I won't be getting that PC back till the 19th,  :bash: /repeat

Thats when I read this that I am glad I am able to fix my computers myself...

Sorry for your loss. :/

I always used to like using the vintage car metaphor, in that when they were first introduced, cars were useful but exceptionally glitchy and prone to breakdowns. Nowadays, however, cars are pretty damn sturdy, well-built, well-designed and reliable. The problem is that I don't think that actually really applies to PCs. Component systems are becoming geometrically more complex without becoming more reliable. A big problem is that quite a lot of technology is built around staggeringly obselete solutions to problems we haven't had for twenty years, because no manufacturer wants to be the first to try and replace these systems (although it actually causes very few problems, the entire xwindows system on Linux is a brilliant example of this).

I know everybody hates Mondays, Cael, but we're still working on removing them from the week. Tuesday the 6th is tomorrow.

Two other things. Those on Twitter ought to be following @AllianceNewsNet. Also, I think I've discovered why the Reapers are coming.

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

Europe is the Third World when it comes to Gaming.

Except for Nintendo RPGs where we get them before the Americans.... though sometimes the Americans don't even get them at all xD

Impressed with the https://twitter.com/#!/AllianceNewsNet campaign.  CCP should do something like this (again; see TEA) for future expansions or even just to support live events.  Hell, tweets are short, why not restart regular Scope news as a microblogging that throws out a few daily headlines?  I know Mercury staff read these forums...  Super low overhead (you can write a lot of 160 character snippets ahead of time) and nice payoff for loreheads like us.  :le sigh:

It's exploded into a Twitter-ARG, actually - take a look at the #solcomms hashtag, which is apparently trending in Australia now.

Probably the best thread for any to do this.

For anyone who's on the PC version and needs people for MP on Origin, pop your names down here.

This thread cannot be held acceptable for the quality of your teammates, especially me. I'd like to think it's not me and it's just my shitty laptop (yes, PC still not returned  :bash:)

Anyway, NorthernGoblin here.
