  1. I had a load of screenshots on my laptop. But, this was 4 machines ago. I know I tried to transfer them at one point, but it'll take a good few hours of digging to see if I can find them on one of those 4 machines. I do remember my ambition to build a massive sandstone hotel though. The griefing, not the building. 

     

    I also remember when I murdered the server by placing some water... This was more recent though, when I had benefactor.

  2. What OS are you trying to load? Have you checked all connections (if a desktop PC) from the storage drives are connected correctly? Can you verify the integrity of the data on these drives? Have they become worn out or damaged in any way?

    I know these are a bunch of questions, but if they are all ok, and your still having problems, try launching startup repair (windows) from the installation DVD / USB, or the alternative restorative system from alternate vendors.

    If THAT doesn't work, you will need to look into TuxPE, which I can help you out with over PM.

  3. To my knowledge, CC is not designed for portable use, nor will it ever be officially. I know that people can make portable versions of programs, but CC is a program with a strong cloud integration, so would be harder to get working for something like that. If it's a portable version you need, there's not much I can help you with. I do, however, have access to a copy of CS6 Masters Collection, which I know works, and use not just on my PC and laptop, but have also installed for a few friends as well. PM me for details if you want it.

  4. Haven't a clue. I personally wouldn't have even clicked the links and instead taken off and blasted the Delete key as hard as possible on that e-mail, then set up an aggressive "catch-all" filter against not only the sender, but any future emails with the subject of battle.net, to ensure nothing more can come a knocking. But hey, I have no idea what to make of this seemingly legit looking half-a-scam.

  5. Well the thing is I can use the laptop just fine rn for basic functions, like I am using it right now. Its just that the boot time is ridiculous and games lag a bit and im guessing the hard drive will fail in the future. I purchased the same exact hard drive and a usb 3.0 to SATA cord and im sure I can find some free trial cloning software online. Could I just connect the fresh HDD to this machine and use cloning software and then just replace? And is there any software I can use to check for disk errors rn? HP system diagnostics had a SMART test and I have no idea what the heck that is but i ran it and it showed no errors on the hard drive. Hard disk sentinel shows 100% hard drive health and nothing out of the blue. But i think it has to be the hard drive, what else could cause an abnormal boot time and whatnot.

    HD Tune Pro can scan a drive very effectively. I can send you a link if you like. Also, I could link you to some aggressive yet effective disk cloning software if necessary, but I believe you'd have to install it on the machine as it is, running it in safe mode, or run both the new and old disk through USB with a surrogate laptop performing the copy (which is what I think my dad did about 4 years ago for a 320GB drive that took about 6 hours due to serious errors on the disk.) Do note that load times were exceptionally slow on that machine, but nothing obvious was popping up until the cloning software was run as to whether there were issues.

  6. So someone tripped over my laptop charger cord and dropped my laptop from dresser height the other day onto hard floor. There is minor cosmetic damage but when I tried using it wasnt responsive. Upon restart the computer took ages to boot up. After booting for about 2 mins as opposed to the 15 seconds, and after about 20 mins of usage the speed of the computer picks up again. By speed I mean hard drive function related speed such as copying files etc. So I am concerned that my hard-drive got damaged. The ram is read at the normal amt, nothing got dislodged, and the processor has clocked to max speed fine. I can't think of anything else but the hard drive and I plan on getting a replacement, and cloning it. Do you think its not a good idea to clone? Any further suggestions or things I should be concerned about. Everything else seems to be a-ok.

    Don't use the machine, buy an external HDD enclosure for the drive (USB 3) and get a new HDD of equal or greater capacity. Look into a cloner that can either run from USB, is that will run on machine boot. However, I'd actually advise 2 external enclosures, and you use a surrogate machine and run cloning software from USB to USB. That'll give you easier monitoring of any errors on the original drive, and any unrecoverable data.

  7. I'm in love with this ride <3

  8. The ATH-M50's (Audio Technica) are praised as gods in the audiophile community, so you might aswell just check those out.

    However, it should be noted that if you do not own any sort of dac/amplifier there is no point in purchasing high impedance headphones given that you will not have the power to properly drive them, thus not using them to their fullest potention.

    Very true. I was thinking along the lines of simple yet great sound. Getting proper audiophile headphones is a great option, and there's a video from tek syndicate (makers of video I linked earlier) discussing custom build gaming headsets for~$1000

  9. Long story short, i am one reply away from telling Logitech to suck my ♥♥♥♥ and sending them a video of me breaking every piece of logitech gear i own. In case this does happen i was looking for some advice on a headset clearly designed for sound, if it comes with a mic or not i do not care. The point is the sound quality.  Price range between $100-$200 but id love suggestions of all ranges to get ideas about what is on the market.

    Well, I have some decent Bose headphones form a few years ago (but they get HOT).

     

    My 'phones for my phone are some Sneheisser MM30i's, which are in ear headphones. Integrated mic, decent sound, and strongk bass. Cost about £40.

     

    Otherwise, I use a shitty Trust headset which sucks balls but won't stop working; and some Earforce X11's.

     

    Here's a video that should give some help in deciding. TEK

  10. I know other Servers aren't allowed to be talked about, but this is a topic that will affect this community.  This is the only way I can contact the staff.

     

    For the past couple weeks we have been receiving packets, last week we received more packets from a different source after our staff started communicating with ND Staff, I blacklisted the IP and didnt expect anything more, that was until  After having a personal conversation this weekend with staff members of ND. My firewall was detecting traffic against a blacklisted IP through Skype. Upon farther investigation we have matched the IP's of those ND members with the IP's that  have been DDoSing us. This has been our course of action:

     

    Forum Moderators check this IP below and you will clearly see that it leads to a Staff Member of ND

     

    IP Address:149.76.228.179

     

    We have compiled a report of information of where exactly this IP originates but will not post it until provoked farther. This didn't go well for the last person who we did this to. This is 100% legal

     

    Removal of this post will result in us posting more proof.

     

    We've already been on good terms with Atomic/Nuke and have already notified him of this incident. We do not want to wreck this community farther, but we will do anything to make this end.

    No proof from check. Check your facts or play nice. Nothing else to say really. I advise you remove this topic and contact admin through pm only, as any concerned yet mature member of an alternate community would.

  11. If it's anything like my friend's hp laptop, there should be several screws on the bottom of the case, alongside 2 panels that are screwed in by aforementioned screws. The larger of the panels covers the hard drive. Removing the screws and removing the panel should reveal the hard disk. There well be a few screws holding it in place. Removal of those should allow removal of the hard disk.

    Do note that the info I have provided here is arbitrarily vague, and is from my experiences upgrading his laptop a few years ago.pictures of the bottom of the laptop would be a massive help.

  12. DVI? Pfffff 2xHDMi ftw :P

    I don't have 2 HDMI ports on my MSI GTX 770 Twin Frozr Graphics card, it only has one. My AMD FX-8320 CPU has no Graphics capacities on it. Thusly, my PC has one HDMI, 1 DVI-D, 1 DVI-I, 1 display port.

  13. Toying with the idea of the first anime being Ergo Proxy as opposed to Another. It's a 2006 anime set in a Japan where androids are commonplace, but being infected with a virus that causes human-like characteristics (kind of SkyNet but more subtle). The main character is a girl named Lil who is daughter of the Emperor(?) and an investigator in the special branch of the police. I've only watched 2 episodes so far but would very happily watch them again so people are on an even keel with me. Also, the Proxy's are, well, interesting characters.

     

    TL;DR. Ergo Proxy is not a horror, more a crime thriller, with a strong political bent (at least to begin with). More action-ey, not comedic, but at least it's not an all out murder-fest like Another

  14. I would really enjoy watching those anime streams mostly because the chatroom is a nice place talk about anime and other stuff. So this streaming would bring some community members together every now and then. I'm watching Bleach right now so I probably won't be watching your streams until I'm done with this...

     

    eh, I'm still collating information. Seems people aren't too keen on a rather unsettling and violent horror for the first one though...

  15. So, I have some anime's that I enjoy, and I think other people may enjoy them as well. My question is, would you be interested in watching if I were to stream them live? I'd have to investigate the best quality I could support, but I can guarantee 720p stream quality on most programs.

     

    All you have to do is vote above whether you would be interested in watching streamed anime as a community, or would rather be linked to it so that you could watch it in your own time.

     

    The first anime I was thinking of streaming is called Another. It's a 12 part horror anime set in 1990's Japan, with some very gruesome events. Anyone interested in this, or do you have your own suggestion? If so, post below.
