Hello all, I am part of a group who are recreating POTCO in UE4! It is a tedious task but we came further than anyone expected. Please watch this video and join our Discord and Facebook page and spread the word. Everything is free, we pay it all on our costs. Enjoy!

According to the article here: https://torrentfreak.com/thor-ragnarok-furiously-pirated-after-itunes-pre-order-blunder-180122/ Thor Ragnarok was released for download to early. After just 10 hours the DRM was cracked and now everyone who wants to see this movie as 1 option. Pirate it. The movie was planned to be released on February 17th. First of all: I don't recommend pirating anything! A quote from the article: But I think this will bring an interesting situation and I wonder what Disney will do in response. If they will keep to the original release schedule it means everyone who really wants to see this movie NOW has only 1 option. It isn't in the cinema anymore and there is no legal way to watch the movie. This again leads into the debate that often the legal ways of watching the movie are so much more troublesome then the illegal ways that it's not weird people pirate these movies. Personally, I hope Disney will respond by releasing the movie for legal download earlier (as soon as possible) so people who do want to see it legally have at least a choice now, but I don't expect this to happen. What I do expect is we will be seeing a lot of lawsuit threats over this which only means even more media attention and therefore even more people aware of the fact you can already download this movie. How do you guys think they should handle this?

Hi, Recently I've been playing some of the Lego games I bought off steam with my kids and been encountering major stuttering issues. So far no luck finding out from steam forums or google regarding this issue. Not sure its because of windows 10 or even the games PC port. Any one else uncounted this issue? Cheers.

Microsoft has moved its windows 10 launch to a yet to be specified date this summer in 190 countries and 111 languages. They also are partnering with Lenovo to help get people in china to upgrade, and they will offer upgrades to pirated copies?!?!! This is pretty freaking sweet. For once it is nice to see something come out early for a change, and not get delayed 15 times...I'm looking at you Rockstar *wink* *wink* lol Source: The Verge EDIT: Apparently this is a rather big issue...9 out of 10 Windows copies pirated in China.

Hello all, I'm writing this about a new MMO. There once was a MMO called Pirates Of The Caribbean Online, which was made by Disney. On September 19, 2013 Disney closed it's servers. Hundreds of thousands were left without a game. Until Zachary, the lead developer of POTHS, announced his company would create a new MMO like it. He says it will not be exactly the same but basically similar, for copyright reasons. He's doing it all for free so I thought if help share the word. The community is amazing and the game will be on Indiegogo to help fund it. They need $40k to make it happen. Do please come check out the forums. Also they added a SteamGreen light concept page check it out, they are trying to get the game on Steam. You never know what this could turn into! They actually listen to the community! Everyone please check out the forums and sign up, also favorite and like it on Steam Greenlight.

Linus, I had a dream about you and Slick last night. You, me, and him were all on a sail boat in the ocean (I don't know why) and we crash and you and me collect scraps to build our own bucket to float away in that has stuff like a jacket and floaties (I have no idea where Slick went) So we're floating along collecting trash and scraps of the ship when we stumble upon two huge pirate ships. One was on fire at the front of the boat cowarding away and the others were about to board the other ship. We take our boat up to the "winning" boat with the other ship and somehow walk from our boat to theirs and we say that we can help them and they start chasing us. We take wood off of their boat as ores and use it to paddle back a short distance to shore. We're in a grocery store (I think it's Target) and the dock is the salad aisle. We're just chilling in that aisle and the pirates start shooting melon canons at us and Slick is just standing in the place that holds the salad, cucumbers, bananas, etc., like actually inside of it standing in the structure of it, and he says "Run, Linus, Run." and that's where it ended. Whoa. Sorry if it's confusing, it is for me, too, and it doesn't help that I just woke up from it.

New PC Builder, Tips and/or Tricks Appreciated Hello everybody, I will be building a new "overkill" PC over the next couple of days, and am getting a little bit nervous about the build. I am almost certain that I have ordered all the relevant parts, and that they are all compatible, but any advice offered by you all, my peers, would be much appreciated. Keep in mind that all components have already been ordered, and will arrive by the 9th of July. I really am not looking for part advice so much as help on the use of the particular components I will be using. As a preface, I have always been a big techie, and pride myself on a great understanding of the components and individual pieces that go into my computer. However, I have always been a heavy Mac user, and I still believe that the UI and ease of use that the Apple platform provides is superior to Windows (feel free to rage if I'm wrong below!). Despite this, three main factors have made me very strongly consider the Windows platform, the first being the additional support for applications and games that a PC provides. I've been playing many more computer games lately, and playing on a Mac has both very much restricted my FPS, as well as having far fewer games to play. The second reason would be that building a PC is just plain cool, and offers an increased level of customizability and personalization. Finally, I simply can afford it. I'm currently not old enough to go and get a job beyond perhaps mowing lawns or walking someone's dogs, and my dad has very graciously decided to foot the bill on this very expensive computer for my birthday, provided I do some chores around the house for a LONG time. Because of my situation, it should be understood that one of the greatest concerns in picking components for this computer was "future proofing," if that terrible, terrible phrase can ever be uttered, and parts in this build have been chosen to reflect that. Please feel free to critique any components that I have chosen, but understand that all decisions are final and cannot be changed. Case- Obsidian 750d: Decent upgradability, solid space for radiators, and eATX support in a relatively small yet sturdy package made the case a natural choice. It doesn't hurt that it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever laid eyes on. Motherboard- Asus Rampage Black Edition: chosen because of the great build quality, as well as compatibility with the LGA 2011 platform. I have always regarded Asus products very highly, and this seems to be a somewhat reasonably priced (though still VERY expensive) option from them. It also matches the aesthetics of my build. Also, it makes you breakfast. CPU- Intel i7 4930K: chosen because I am considering a Quadfire or dual GPU + single GPU Crossfire setup in the future. In addition, the LGA 2011 socket is ideal for my preferences, and my current setup is a simulated 8 core/ quad core i7 setup, running at 2.2 GHz/ 4.4 GHz respectively. The 4930K offers a good enough balance of a solid upgrade and great performance and upgradability to suit my needs. CPU Cooler- Corsair H100i: while other companies offer better functioning options, the Corsair model seems to have very few units that leak, and comes with the best warranty that I can find. The led lighting on the cooling unit itself looks relatively nice as well. Memory/RAM- Dominator Platinum 32GB 4x8 1866 MHz: I chose to opt for the 32 GB rather than the 16 GB route, because I know that I will eventually want that amount of ram, and purchasing it all together offered me dual benefits of a marginally lower price, as well as a guarantee that all four of my ram sticks will function optimally together. The aesthetics of the particular sticks that I chose are also great. I went 1866 because that is the highest speed that Intel supports with its Ivy Bridge-E cards natively, and I didn't want to risk any issues at any point in this build. Usually, 1333 MHz ram works for me just fine, but I figured that it wouldn't hurt to try a slightly higher clock speed. Storage- Samsung EVO SSD 500GB: This is enough for my needs currently, and after watching Linus' rave review of it recently, I decided to opt for it as my only memory source. If any of you could recommend any 2 TB hard drives that perform well at a reasonable price, and would match the color scheme of my build, (red/black) I would very much appreciate that as well. PSU: EVGA Supernova P2 1000 Watt: I require about 750-800 watts for my system, and a 200w pad seems like a natural step, considering that I am considering overclocking in the future. This is the best platinum power supply that I have found in this price range, and though its brother, the G2, also delivers platinum performance (I checked on 80Plus's website), the fan control on the P2 made it the natural option for me. I prefer a quiet system to a marginally higher performance one, and all the parts in this build have been chosen to reflect that. Also, this is, in my opinion, the best looking power supply on the market. OS- Windows 8.1, LG Electronics 8x USB 2.0 drive to install: While I'm not a fan of the 8.1 UI, I understand that it will give me the optimal performance for my rig, and any drawbacks that may come with not upgrading to windows 8.1 now will certainly bite me in the rear end later. I also bought a cheap external drive to install Windows. GPU- AMD Radeon R9 295 X2: This is one of the primary reasons I am even building this computer. I have, despite having never built a PC, always preferred the idea of a single graphics cards as opposed to two. Really, when positive pressure and stable temperatures are a concern in a (relatively, of course) small case, a single graphics card, at least in my mind, will always rein supreme. I could be wrong, but from most tests that I have seen, this card has beaten even the most highly overclocked reference 780ti's, and though price to performance may be lower than most other cards, in my mind AMD have always delivered better, more stable units than Nvidia. The AMD graphics in my current computer also perform very well, considering that they are integrated into the computing unit. When I saw this card an article in a PC magazine that I don't remember the name of, I knew that it was the best time to build my own computer. I might consider running these Quadfire if more money comes my way, and if I consider upgrading to a 4k multi-monitor setup, which I will do over the next few years. A Word on Fans- I will be swapping out all stock fans that come with my case, as well as my radiator. I will be replacing them with: 2x AF140 Red LED fans for front intake 5x CM Jetflo 120 Red LED for radiator components on the H100i, as well as the GPU 2x AF120 Red LED fans for bottom exhaust As per Linus' recommendations, two Bitfenix Alchemy LED strips in red will be going into the top and bottom of the case. This concludes the components section of this post, further peripherals are listed below. I will be using a Razer Blackwidow LED free keyboard with the quieter orange switches until the Corsair RGB keyboard comes out, at which point I will give Corsair ALL OF MY MONEY for that glorious, glorious k95 goodness. I will also be using a Mionix Naos 8200 monitor on a Propus mouse pad with my system. I currently use an ASUS MX279h Monitor for my PS4, and will be using that with my new PC. I feel like the 1080p 60Hz resolution will bottleneck this beast of a rig (which I will be building the day after tomorrow, BTW), so I'll upgrade as soon as possible. I am considering either a three monitor 1080p, or a single or dual WQHD monitor setup. Currently, the desk that I use has a single raised platform to fit a single monitor, so I might have to buy one of those telescoping arms (which is not compatible with my VESA-less MX279h) for a three monitor setup. Advice on any particular monitors to buy would be much appreciated. Thank you for making it all the way through my overly complicated and awfully long pre-'build log' log. Any input would be very much appreciated. Any advice, or answers to questions or concerns that I have posed would be great! I will definitely be adding build photos when complete, and I might even (probably) consider posting some sort of horribly made newbie build log. Pictures of this build will definitely be going up in the relevant section. From what I've gleaned from my short time on this forum, users are very informative and helpful to one another, and I thank you for reading and helping me out with my very first PC build. Have a wonderful day. Kudos!
