    My taste in music is a bit more, abstract, than that. For instance, here's some music from the movie I, Robot. http://grooveshark.com/#!/s/I+Robot+Theme+End+Credits/3ey4Q2?src=5 And then there the music from Ephixa, probably the only Dubstep I will actually listen to (except for some stuff from Mt Eden). And let's not forget all the really obscure music that I can't name because it has no pronounceable or existent name. Those pieces I will have to link upon request.

    When I get around to it, I'll add the picture in... Even though it's my Dad's car which I'm insured on (as that's about £2000 cheaper than buying a car and we didn't have time to look around when I got my license).

    Fresh look forums, fresh approach to management, starting to see some fresh (or just long forgotten, sorry to say it like that but you know what I mean) faces. This is gonna be great!

    Defo try a defrag of the drive. Sounds like there's a LOT to fix there. Also, how old is the drive? If constantly on, and with a large volume of files, they WILL suffer a performance hit. Try running CCleaner (freeware) and get rid of cached files, clean up your registry (make a backup of it first though), then do a system wide defrag (I like defraggler for that) and see if it helps. I would say you're looking at about 12 hours to complete those processes, but they can be left to run overnight if you want. Otherwise, the best thing is get a cheap SSD, as suggested, or clone your drive to a separate drive of equal or greater volume (ensures data isn't lost), AND make a backup (never hurts to be safe with these things), then re-install your OS. FYI, Windows 8 RT is a specially designed version of the OS with an different kernel architecture to Windows 8 or Windows 8 Pro. Get one of those instead. (preferably Pro of course). Honestly though, I'd stick with Win7. Win 8 is a pain in the ass and win7 is still being supported for many more years. Plus, you can run un-signed programs, game cracks etc MUCH easier than on Win 8. Not that you should be using those sorts of things...

    I don't have many, but the ones I do, I'll gladly share at some point (when I'm on my laptop, with net access)

    Opened up the topic for much more general discussions about "classic" racing games. Anyone Gran Turismo 3?

    Dell laptops are built like tanks. Vaio laptops are powerful but do wear out to the point where they look like crap. HP laptops have poor cooling and spongey keyboards (in my experience) and other manufacturers I cannot really say about. I would recommend looking at the outlet store of each retailer though (e.g. Dell outlet, HP outlet etc) as you can get certified refurbished (i.e. you cannot tell between it and a new product) laptops but for around £100 to £250 discount.

    Who played this game? Who has this game still? Did you enjoy it? Do you even have any idea what I'm on about? No? Ahh well, here's some linky things to perhaps remind you of NFS Underground 2, the first NFS with open world exploration built in.

    I would avoid any of the 8xxx series AMD Radeon HD Mobility cards, because the drivers are absolute shite. Even using the latest beta drivers, I still cannot run certain applications, nor is my system 100% stable. Suffice it to say I never had these issues when I had a dell Inspiron 14 (from about 8 or so years ago) with an nVidia 8300M GS card that could run MC, CoD4 etc, and only stopped working when it became so full of dust it was overheating. Also, out of my friends, only one has an nVidia GPU in his laptop, and he's the only one who I haven't had to spend several hours fixing drivers for. And the AMD cards my friends and I have range from the 6xxx series to the 8xxx series.

    Communities always expand and develop. It's how they survive. How they expand and develop is up to the members. So please, discuss various games you'd like to potentially see in the community, and give lots of info about them if you want to, so that different people can discuss and agree on what they think is best. The only bad idea, is one that isn't properly explained.

    Mac or PC??

    Falkerz replied to a topic in Computers & Tech

    One of my IRL friends has a mac book and a laptop. However, he has a dual boot windows on his mac, due to software requirements for college. His mac is about a third the weight if my laptop, has about 3 times the battery life and can still run a fair few games on the iGPU pretty well, even when I have a choice between iGPU and AMD GPU. So, to summarise, a mac is pretty damn powerful as a laptop, and can also perform really well as a long lasting windows machine. You just have to decide exactly what you want from your machine and whether component upgradable ty is something you want.

    Here's a screenshot of one of the images from my current desktop slideshow. Note I have hidden the icons on my desktop for this screenshot, as I feel there are too many on screen for my liking (but I can't be bothered to change that right now). Full theme available upon request.

    It was deemed to distracting, and replaced with a shadow behind the premium name instead.

    Forums Donator Rank

    Falkerz replied to a question in Support

    Technically, I donated a total of about $350 to the server (that I can remember). Just FYI really, I think I've already got the rank.
  15. Falkerz
    Has the time of this changed? The countdown is projecting a start time of 6pm GMT?!?! I'm very confused by this. (Although it may be BST messing me up)

    Firstly, teamspeak is a voice chat server we have which allows many people to be communicating all at once. You need to install the teamspeak 3 client and connect to TS.chaoticunited.com . As for recording, go for it. It doesn't matter whether you're cracked or not. However, I wouldn't put other servers in the video description as that is advertising them even though they're not a part of the event. If a video is only about chaotic, then only info about chaotic should be present.
  17. Falkerz
    Completely optional. Those who do record the gameplay and can upload it may help the server get more members if they set up advertising for the server in the description etc. In other words, why not try recording? It's not like it can prevent you doing well is it?
  18. Falkerz
    That may be a little difficult for me but I'll try my best. If all goes well I should have 5 maybe 10 minutes before the event starts.

    Minecraft username : FALK0N77 Can I play for 1 - 1.5 hours : yes if I'm not collared into anything else. I should be home at that time. I'll keep you posted if anything changes. It's possible for me to record gameplay of it as well (if I play).
  20. Falkerz
    That's nice. Perhaps you'd like to make an application? I'm sure there's a video somewhere telling you how to apply...
  21. Falkerz
    Did you actually WATCH the video? All the information is there. Just do what you see done in the video. If you're really not able to do it, please explain why EXACTLY you are incapable of this simple task in a PrivateMessage to me. Click ->

    Atomic is now a Chaotic Celebrity. Good job on the video Spencer. So much easier than typing chaoticunited.com/forums/forum/11-minecraft-registration into the chat.

    If you go onto a free at code generator, you can copy that image and then make a pixel art of it. It's relatively simple if you make a construction grid for referencing.
  24. Falkerz
    Yeah... but it isn't really ChaoticUnited is it? This way, people can collate their PMC links for people to view, or just put links on here. They can even do both if they want. It's just a way of collecting many different world downloads together into one place.
  25. Falkerz
    I deliberately didn't do it as an edit because I wanted people to see the download as being separate from the part which lays out my ideas. I looked in the downloads section, it's more of a warez section than a share your minecraft world / creation section. I googled PMC and got speaker companies and libraries. Not sure what you're talking about.
