ScaR

Ahh this pic and the associated pics below made my day, nice one there Baldred ;)

Heh I haven't played in a while.. what version are you using to have the XRT? I might have a go sometime this week :)

I wouldn't worry, I myself think such random things alot. We're all unique, and its okay to be so. Sounds like you'd be good at engineering :p

Going by reviews, I'd say Fallout 3 is the better buy: http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/silenthill5?q=silent%20hill%20homecoming <--- Silent Hill: Homecoming http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/fallout3?q=fallout%203 <--- Fallout 3

Heh, I saw a video of this quite a while ago looks promising, however I wonder how long it would take to travel from one side to the other of the map...? lol

heh nice car dude, and please for the love of god don't chav it up. In Australia that car is known as the Holden Barina, however I'm not sure we had that engine size choice.

Shamelessly stolen from speedtouch :p NOT SAFE FOR WORK, HOME OR ANYWHERE. THERE IS LOTS OF SWEARING THROUGHOUT THE VIDEO. Old advertising from the 80's blooper reel of one particular bloke. The audio in this video is a little bit dodgy, so you might (or might not) want to turn up your speakers. enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDYxGB8V88k

Yes that would be it lol. Sorry I was away and unable to check this page.

Very close bobby, but no cigar. However you did get the country right ;)

Sounds like you need to uninstall all of the drivers, do a restart, install them again and then once that's done do another restart and you should be good to go ;)

Very nice pictures mate ;) That's the name of the Mazda RX-8 Rotary engine if I'm not mistaken.

Uh the only thing I can think of is being slightly claustrophobic, and can sometimes have random energy bursts and do random stuff lol

Looks like it would be really fun to watch.. If only I could.. I've got my money on 14 "Jägermeister" Opel Omega 3000 :D

Heh, was a hard find that one. Interestingly it had retractable bumpers o_O Anywho, with mine, look closely and you'll see a few clues.

There really isn't anywhere that people can go. The local rural fire service states that you should either leave early (before you can see smoke), or stay and defend your house. The best way to survive is to stay in the house and then get outside once the main front has passed n try get the fire off your house. Its really sad, and yea the death toll has surpassed 181 as of now. Australian's have donated $37 million toward the effort in giving people food, clothing and all the other essentials. I'd say this is a good effort for a country of 21 million people =] E: my mother was just talking to the local fire captain, and he was saying that he flew over the fires and the core temperature of them was something like 1600 degrees Celsius.. not a lot can survive that heat. He also stated that they were expecting something like 300 deaths in total, as they haven't yet checked all of the houses. Crazy thought that... :S

Uh well for starters having the side off the case probably detracts from the cooling of the case as it does not have particular points to draw the air from, and therefore the air is probably getting trapped in there.

Heh the thing you have to remember is that Melbourne is on the coast of one of the coldest oceans in the world. Imagine how much hotter inland it would have been. To my knowledge, the hottest ever temperature that I experienced living at my old house was 50.6 degrees celsius. At that temperature, even refrigerated airconditioners don't work well.

Yeah it was nice to finally have some cool weather. Ah no, back about 10 years, I remember we had a massive fire front coming towards our place, it was like on the fringe. The way we countered it, was not with our two firetrucks which we had on the property, as it was too hot for that, but we waited for the wind to change direction in our favour and then (technically illegally) back burned to save our property (at the time roughly 40,000 acres). I still remember the roar of the flames.. It is one of the scariest things you will ever come across in your life, and fingers crossed I don't have to ever deal with it again.

Its okay dude, you're a better drifter then me and I've been [trying] to drift basically since I started TDU... when it was released.. lol.

For your CPU and GPU both idling that is REALLY bad. Have you ever taken the heat sink/fan off the CPU? If so, you should have placed some heat transfer solution on the cpu, otherwise the heat sink will fail to cool it properly. As for the GPU, make sure it has good airflow around it, as it probably doesn't. One way to uh make sure of this is by clearing away all dust, preferably with an air compressor/air in a can, and keep the sides on your case as this will prevent airflow disruption.

Heh luckily enough for me today we got a cool change and it barely reached 20 degrees :) Oh and I plan on donating to the bushfire relief fund, as well, I have had experiences with bushfires in the past.. :S

Shadow, as I have said, I used to have the exact same computer as yours bar the processor. To get rid of the heat the best thing to do is plug a 120mm fan into the motherboard (sys_fan) socket. Have it so it is pushing air out the back of the case. You can probably get a generic 120mm fan from MSY because you are in Melbourne if I'm not mistaken.
