I've come to realize something...

It's depressing to see how inactive it has been recently. I mean, everybody is pretty much primarily posting in the never ending thread now and there's not enough people here to make this place really booming. We need to find some way to bring more people here before this place just fades into nothingness...

I know for a fact that a lot of boards out there are thriving because of how many people are there. We just need to get back into the game and pull people here. However, where we obtain these people might matter, because we don't to end up pulling in douches like those at Selkath.

Happy New Year OT! We may be dying... BUT WE'RE STILL HERE! We had an... interesting year last year. Vice Admin Burkman is taking a long earned vacation and Uly is stepping into his position. Well...

I may not be able to play TOR for more than an hour/hour-and-a-half at a time... Daily workload put aside, my laptop's been getting worse and worse... It's starting to overheat on a regular basis with some games as old as Stronghold 2... It's heating up really easily... And naturally, I'm worried... Spec-wise, I'll be meeting TOR's requirements (they can be found of the site)... But reality is a different thing...

Anywho... Any suggestions for a new rig? Keep in mind, I'm on a fairly tight budget so lets cap it at 600-800 Pounds...

You may want to look into buying a cooling tray Banana...

That may stop your overheating problems.

No... That's just me being optimistic... 600 is as far as I'd probably go...

Nice... But it's only a short term solution... The thing is getting old... It's not that new to start with... But if it gets me another half-year, I be happy... I was thinking about getting a new rig for my birthday (16th November) anyways...

Well, then I'd get some sort of desktop if I were you. You could build a decent gaming desktop for around 500$ I think.

Don't want a desktop as I do travel and I do like my games OMG!

I was thinking of getting a Dell XPS 16 like my best bud, but they gone and darn cut the model from production...
Anyways... Looks like it's a cooling trey for now...

On that note... Any idea whether TOR will be out around November? Cause I'd reckon it will... I mean- pre-order is usually opened one-two months before launch...

So I just brought the laptop to a friend to be cleaned-up real thorough like... Hopefully that lessens the heating problem...
I'm still getting a cooling trey, though...

Hope that fixes your problems.

Well, she's back (yes, I'm referring to my laptop in female form. problem?)...
I am amazed what a little cleaning of the filters can do to performance... Been running almost all day, watching movies, browsing and playing games... Hasn't heated up one freaking degree...

Anyways...

Come by the Shoppe in a couple (hours), I'm doing some finishing touches on yours...
