I love UT2K4! I wish I had bought it on Steam, installing games from DVDs sucks.

The IT department at my school doesn't do much to protect the PCs at all. Anyone that can make a batch file and guess a few passwords and make a new admin account will be able to hack into my school boards servers (or at least my schools XD) not saying that I've done so :P

I just realised I have some content to share all of you! :buddy:

One morning in 2006 I was gonna play some games with my friend but couldn't get it to work. It said something about I didn't have enough memory. Being Mr.Smartass I decided I would compress drive to save space. When it started compressing all the important stuff I panicked and clicked cancel. Hoping for the best, I rebooted but it wouldn't start because all the things it needed to boot had been compressed. :saddowns:

I had to buy a new computer.

Wat, even though the files are compressed they should still be bootable. And no, you didn't have to buy a new computer

But why wouldn't my computer boot when I did that thing? Because I certainly couldn't get it to start.

He probably meant he tried to put everything in one ZIP/RAR file.

not really.

'Course, I typically ISO-ify all my DVDs when I get them. That way, if I lose the discs, I can just mount the ISO. :smug:

Sounds like one of your files only got halfway compressed, and therefore fucked to all hell. Repair install would have fixed it.

[meppers]

why the hell cant they put the windows and mac versions of MS Office in one box?

seriously this is the only way that i regret buying a macbook pro (but please for the love of god dont comment on my laptop purchasing choice)

[Jaehead]

I think because Mac editions of Office comes out a year after the Windows version does.

For example Mac has Office 2008, and 2011

What does a picture of GPU-Z showing a 9800 GT have to do with anything?

[[EG] Pepper]

he thought his 8400 was better than anything because it had a higher number.

and its the GPU in my second rig

Yeah, I've been playing a lot of UT2K4 lately.

Cool things to do:

Onslaught gamemode, pick a big open map like Crossfire or RedPlanet. Vehicle Arena mutator, change all vehicles to SPMA. Game becomes a giant artillery fight of awesome. Alternatively, change all vehicles to Raptors for a massive air fight.

Deathmatch/Team Deathmatch/Last Man Standing gamemode, any map. Turn on Instagib mutator (or Zoom Instagib, on big maps), and the Super Berserk mutator. Fire insta-killing beams at 600 RPM.

Any gamemode except Onslaught or Assault. Arena mutator, all weapons to Bio-Rifles, maybe Super Berserk as well. I find this to be hilarious for some reason.
