    Giving away 3 games!

    in PC Gaming

    Posted

    Seriously guys, just read the post and choose one. You are making it more difficult for the OP to sort out all the disqualifiers. ;)

    Actually, they're just supposed to reply and they get a game at random once the thread hits 50 individual replies if their reply # gets picked.

    Giving away 3 games!

    in PC Gaming

    Posted

    Since people like to grab things as soon as they see them like in the previous thread, I think i'll give away some steam keys from the newest Humble Bundle. They're not the absolute best, nor are they the same games that the original thread had, but hopefully they'll be fun to whoever receives them.

    The games are:

     

    • Sir, You Are Being Hunted

     

    • Q.U.B.E.: Director's Cut

     

    • Goodbye Deponia

     

    I'll give away the codes once this hits 50 replies! I'll be using random.org to choose the winners. 

    Reply to this thread to enter! 

    One game per winner only. One entry per person. Multiple entries to this thread disqualifies you from the giveaway. 

     

    EDIT: You are only supposed to reply once. The games will be given away at random once this post hits 50 individual replies (excluding multiple replies and my own.) Choosing the game isn't part of the giveaway. If you win and you don't want the game you win, give it to a friend or tell me and I will re-pick the winners.

     

    EDIT 2: I am going to stop the giveaway by 3:05 PM MST even if this thread doesn't get to 50 replies. 

    Video games age ratings to high.

    As techswede said, the ratings are more of a recommendation for the parents. I see nothing wrong with them.

     

    I wouldn't want a 10 year old playing GTA V though. It just doesn't seem appropriate to me given that there is so much mature content in the game.  

    Wireless card buying help?

    in Networking

    Posted

    So I'm moving in somewhere with no cabled internet and my desktop doesn't have wifi...

     

    So I'm thinking about buying either a PCI E card like this

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-LINK-TL-WDN4800-Wireless-Express-Adapter/dp/B007GMPZ0A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1431535240&sr=8-1&keywords=TP-LINK+TL-WDN4800&tag=linustechtips-21

     

     

    or perhaps something like this (powerline adapter)

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-LINK-PA411KIT-Powerline-Adapter-Starter/dp/B0084Y9N3O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1431535350&sr=8-1&keywords=TP-LINK&tag=linustechtips-21

     

    If I'm honest I know nothing about networking properly and was wondering what people would suggest.

     

    My budget is around £50

     

     

    It's really not possible to run cable to my new flat unfortunately, I really would if I could... But alas no.

     

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

    I personally use the WDN4800 (The first PCI-E Card you linked) and I love it. Have yet to have any issues with the card. I recommend it. 

    Best Service Provider?

    So Fios for cable and internet? How much does google fiber cost?

    (I am in Philadelphian Suburbs.)

    Then for mobile, what makes T-mobile so good? Wouldn't Ting save me more?

    (Check out this link to see some information on the ISPs near you.)

     

    Sadly Google Fiber isn't available in your area. I recommend looking at FiOS. Comcast is known for having horrible customer service and for ripping people off, but if you're fine with that then it's a good one to go with if you can't get FiOS. 

    GTA Online Major Lag?

    in PC Gaming

    Posted

    Been having this problem ever since I started playing online. It would take forever to load. And cars would be skipping from one spot to another. From what I can gather from Google there seem to be no solutions. People who do have lag issue are having them in singleplayer. While I on the other hand, can run the singleplayer flawlessly, of course not online. Is there any way to fix this? Am I the only who is have issue? Is there any ports to forward, the once I've seen are for console and not for PC.

    Please help thank you.

    It seems to be more of a network issue, what are your UP/DL speeds?

    Also, the game has only been out for a week, optimizations will continue to come out as well as bug fixes. Being patient is your best bet.

    Hello I received my brand new Desktop pc.

    I have booted it up for the very first time and it loads the PC Specialist with an error box saying :

    The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered and unexpected error. Windows installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the computer, then restart the installation.

    I click okay and it reboots with the same thing.

    This is my PC since i've been planning on using this as my Gaming computer. I have been a Mac user and been so used to 0 problems. I have no idea how to fix this.

    Should be windows 8.1

    Thanks!

    Does it give you the error (code)?

    How do I not feel this way

    Just because you took some parts from a list and put them together to make a fast computer does not mean that you have some sort of trademark/patent on the build. He could very easily have made his own build with the same specs just because he saw how good they ran for you, and it would be dumb for him to not go with the best performance because he fears that it would be "copying" you. Peripherals may be slightly different but you can't expect that since you bought a new PC, a new mouse, monitor, keyboard, etc. that you just pissed on the entirety of pcpartpicker and everyone who uses the same thing as you is copying you. 

    Would mixing these modules together be problematic?

    Good Wifi Adapter?

    in Networking

    I heavily advise against a USB adapter.

    If you can do a PCI-E Network Adapter, I recommend the TP-Link TL-WDN4800. I personally use this card and it has never let me down.

     

    If you have to do a USB adapter, I'd go with the

    TP-Link TL-WN722N.

    Tension between Linus & Jayztwocents?

    in Off Topic

    Posted

     

     

    The most comical thing about this thread, is the fact that the OP thinks Linus and I dont talk. 

     

    For the record, Linus personally gave me advice weeks ago and said he has no doubt that I will be successful. We also laugh at these kinds of posts, as it makes the poster look foolish, and not us. 

     

    Second of all, moving to Vessel at the exact moment that I go independent is not the kind of shake up someone establishing a stable foundation needs. The OP can make this about me vs Linus if he wants, but thats just stupid. I have publicly given Linus credit for paving a way for others like myself to follow. This thread is pointless, and non indicative of how I feel about LMG. 

     

    So, with that said, I'm out, and flame on if you wish!

     

    What was that from? Original thread?
