So basically your whole argument with me was idiotic, since I stated to play the latest and greatest with all the eye candy turned on, you need to have a beefy video card. Now you're saying that you need to turn down settings to play. I had the same card as you and while it was a great card, it wouldn't be able to keep up with newer games. Hell it started choking on Doom 3 and HL2 on anything over 1024.

Then my friend, you really need to go and contact Intel, Nvidia, ATI, AMD, and a score of other manufacturers because apparenlty you have a mystical computer. The only way you're playing the latest and greatest on 4 year old tech is if you're turning the eye candy way down. Top end card back then was a 9700 Pro... a great card for its time, but it would really be showing its age now. EDIT - Oh and before I forget, I never said Mac is the answer, in fact unless you have a special need for them, they're overpriced. You're better off building a system yourself, or have someone who knows what they're doing build a system for you. A properly configured WinXP system should be rock solid stable.

Luc, Depending what you're doing with your computer you can get away with running something from the P3 era with 256MB of RAM and be getting along just fine. However if Hobo is an avid gamer, then his track record is pretty good. To play the latest and greatest with all the eye candy on you need a beefy system. Hell even if you're just developing and encoding you need a beefy system. These types of programs push hardware to the limit and beyond. Oh, and PS3 = waste of money at releasse. It'll come down to the Wii (for the possibilities it offers in innovative gameplay) and the 360, just for the price/performance.

They will... we need to party it up with Lauren and all her hot bitches.

When are we getting wild and crazy, yo?

I guess I'm in the minority, but I'm really not surprised, nor do I particularly care. It was only a matter of time before it happened, though I had my money on getting mauled by a gator, or bitten by a snake. Oh well, I'm sure after a few days the sting of his death will be gone.

ahhh, OAC... nothing quite like hitting the bar during one of your high school spares, and then trying to act sober for your last period. But I digress. I took a couple of years off after high school and got most (not all) my partying out before hitting university. I still partied, but I had my priorities straight. Having said that though, getting hammered with somebody is a good way to get to know people. You're taking people out of there comfort zone, giving them something that lowers inhibitions so you get to see the real individual. It's not very often that you can like somebody hammered, but hate them sober. However, alot of times you can like somebody sober and hate them hammered. Anyways, my advice... enjoy the experience of being at University, being away from your parents etc. But remember what you are there for, and remember that anything in excess isn't good, whether that be studying or partying. Have fun.

Hey guys, look at me, I have no opinion so I'll follow the crowd and make fun of the bands that everybody else does. Oh and lets not forget that I'll recycle a joke that was much better executed earlier in the thread. Clearly, Ryan is hilarious ;)

Admit it, you're taking notes.

Be sure to take advantage of all the horny drunk freshmen around during frosh. I'm counting on you.

I should be #5 simply because you need a cameraman, plus I want to be mentioned at least 3 times in this thread ;)

oh yes, usually in 3rd year I believe is when the requirement comes into play.

Every engineering student I know has had to take some Arts courses for the reasons that Erik listed.

So you're her boy toy? Cool.

First you need to learn how to judge male from female...

I like your method of voting. Is that also how you decide on who to vote for in federal and provincial elections? ;)

This thread delivers.

The results in this poll contrasted to the 'What if Canada was Invaded Poll...' is pretty interesting, in case nobody else has noticed.

5. (if you mean like a hip hugger type of thing) Then yes, guys should stop wearing that, but I see no reason why girls should (unless they are fat) 4.YES! This is the gayest thing since Canadian Idol. Whenever I see a poor confused high school kid wearing girls pants I get extremely angered. Sometime soon I'm going to just raid a high school with a bat and go nuts beating fags. 3.I guess hairspray is kind of a girl thing, I just never really thought about it so I don't have much of an opinion on this one. 2.This can actually be kinda hot on the right girl. But I hate fattys who do it. 1.I'm gonna be honest I really don't see much of this but.......ya it's probably gay. overall a pretty good list though. And I guess I'll make one: Top 5 words 5.parsnips 4.cockfag 3.boobies 2.anus 1.Mukluk Where the fuck are we finding these people? I mean c'mon people, at least leave the red neck attitudes at the door. Next you're going to be talking about lynching nigga's.

I'm hurt buddy, really... that pains me. I mean c'mon, I thought we had something special ;)

awww, I'm #3... I'm honored and shocked. We'll see if I stay that high after a semester ;)

Exactly how old are you? Because I'm hoping your around the age of 12, so that I can blame your stupidity on immaturity. If you're older than that, do the world a favor and don't ever breed.

But then that would hurt, and how would I talk with you? It'd be a crimeof epic proportions.

Not yet, as I'm still here.

Yeah, probably not the best title for a thread man.
