TO ALL READERS! 
I just replayed Slave to a Machine, and holy fuck Ricky, that was fucking awesome. I had forgotten it enough that playing through hard was like, perfection.

Hope that makes you happy. if not, Opps! well one Zellyard is 1' 154.000.000.

Thanks Drew :) 
 
Slave 
is one of the all time great base maps IMHO. 
 
83.253.90.141 looks like a bot probing if its gibberish is deleted or not. I highly recommend remove its posts to avoid attracting of actual spam. 
Dear Bots 
Please go away, and don't come back until you can pass a Turing test.

Kthxbye. 
 
They can fake it well enough.

The Windows 7 Install Saga 
:P

My god, this is quite possibly the strangest hardware error I have ever come across :)

So I've been using the RC1 version of win7 for a few months, and was loving it - so I bought the home premium version yesterday. Got home, formatted c: and started the install process for windows 7.

It crashes the PC at around 80% installed, so I reboot and try again, it crashes the pc at 72%. This story continues for around an hour, seemingly crashing the pc at a lower percentage of completeness each time. I scratch my beard (that I dont have).

I take the side panel of my pc off, to check that everything is ok inside, everything looks fine, so I think what the hell and give it another try, the pc crashes while the windows 7 installer is loading... hmmm.

Its at this point I notice that the fan on my graphics card has stopped spinning (thank god I removed the side panel)! So after a quick power off I check the card and its boiling all over, oh crap I think and leave it to cool down. Come back an hour later and try again and the fan seems to work fine. However, as soon as the windows 7 installer starts loading, the fan turns off!?

Luckily I had a spare old gpu lying around that I could plug in and install windows (this was fine now) on, and then swap the other card back in.

Bizarre? =)

So much for windows 7 improved power management. 
Anyone Else

Astounding stuff! 
 
i take it your video card was still functional afterwards? still, that's creepy... 
Improved Power Management 
= not compatible with current hardware.
