It's not like Alien Swarm is all that "demanding" compared to games like BF2:BC, Crisis etc.. The problem is that it is actually not very demanding at all, [b]but overuses a specific set of instructions that heats up the hardware like crazy... and for no discernable reason.[/b][/quote]
What?
Seriously, CPU instructions should generate the same amount of heat (close enough) If the developers run the CPU at 100% of it's capacity then there will be heat generated. Any piece of software can do that. Anyone should have good enough cooling to keep their CPU alive when it runs at 100%.
My cpu keeps on 50 degrees even when i play tf2 for hours or alienswarm hell its even overclocked to 3GHZ.
My friend seems to think that Xbox 360's have magic chips in them that are all powerful and will never be obsolete, that's his reason for why PC's suck. I want to punch him in the face so hard but I'm a pussy.

Tell him to put holes in the computer, to make it go faster.
Now, I don't know jack about actual programming, but I know enough to know more than the average joe.
My teacher actually told the entire class that the language Basic was one of the best programming languages, because it was so much easier to understand and was closer to actual English. It tore a hole in me, so after class I corrected her.
Later in the school year, we had an in-class project to put a computer back together. I put it together in what was apparently "The fastest time she'd ever seen" (We had 30 minutes to do it, I did it in less than 10 (We didn't even have to plug anything in, just place the harddrive, motherboard, etc. in the correct places)), she apparently told my parents that I was very computer smart and corrected her when she was wrong (Which makes me sound like a fucking class know it all or something) and over all sucked up to me.
It's amazing that I could probably teach that class with a home education. (Because you don't learn shit about computers in school)
I had to explain to people for a year that I couldn't just use the tutorials off of HackThisSite to hack NASA.
"HERP DERP CAN YOU HACK NASA AND LAUNCH A SHUTTLE OR SHIT?"
"I bet you could hack a powerpoint."
"Blahblah (me), Derpderp (other tech savvy friend), could you come help with this? We can't figure out how to fix it."
So we go over to where our Tech teacher is standing over a chick's chair, she's having troubles with [i]Powerpoint.[/i] Apparently, the girl had put hours of work into this, and then she took it home to work on it. When she brought it back to the school, when she tried to go to next slide, instead of the music to accompany it then it would play the Windows XP startup sound.
[i]Somehow,[/i] the girl fucked up so hard that instead of getting the sounds from the folder labeled "Power Point Music", she had somehow gotten it to play different XP system sounds. Instead of hearing 8-bit Tik Tok (it still sucked), you would hear the error noise looping over and over with no time in between loops. On one slide, she got a flute mixed up with the [i]fucking startup noise.[/i]

And I also hate when you're downloading something or playing a game online, and the person who is getting a slow connection as a result goes "STOP STEALING MY INTERNET."

Haha I always do that to dad, but in a way he does, he limits my connection speed, so I end up playing with 300 m/s pings.

with some detectiving, I have discovered that it is xdreamer forums
I played back there in 08, before I even knew about Facepunch, but the community is now fucking shit, so I really just check back up because a couple of friends still lurk there, and priceless moments like the screenshot i posted.

[QUOTE=DerekDub;23547277]In that desk you have your computer in is probably collecting a lot of heat and is being put back into your computer, so it doesn't have a chance to cool off. Try taking it out of the desk temporarily and see if the temperatures get any cooler. (So yes the desk may be adding to your overheating problem.)[/QUOTE]

KARMA! WHERE ART THOU!?[/QUOTE]
If I remember correctly karma is supposed to be allot of little good things over a period of time. Not 100% sure though.
I've come to realize that douche bags and ass holes get further in life until they're out of high school, because most of them ended up spending to much time being cunt bags to learn any skills for the real world.
