Is that King Kong, or an angry Gummi Bear? *squints eyes* Sorry my eyes aren't what they used to be <_<

Hmmm.. I thought this was going to be a discussion on WoW :o /greet

ditto..well I might remember if you sing it. ;)

:lol:

The topic title certainly catches the eye... lol.

Happy Birthday!! :wakuwak7n:

Good luck to you and yours! May your boxes be labeled correctly, and may the tape not break! :dance:

:wrong: Who's that saying weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?? :lol:

/SALUTE To all of the Veterans To my ARMY SGM Grandfather To my hubby and his grandfather, both ARMY Military Police vets To my little sis currently serving in the Air Force

ELPA!! Of course I remember you from Moe Cantina! Remember dueling? :P *superhugs*!!! :woot:

Hmm...there's a good point...but they outnumber me (3 of them) and when I asked Onyx if she thought cat hair was a problem, here's the look I got: :o Incidentally, I put my box fan a foot away from the comp and had it blowing this morning, I was able to play for over an hour in space with only one blackout! Maybe the fan will work! :woot:

Is there anything to buy anymore? Seems everyone wants looted clothes due to mods, if you need armor you can make an AS and make your own, oh wait everyone is a Jedi now, and they don't wear armor or need Weaponsmith services... Hmmm... Well I'm wanting to buy one of those glowy tree things with lights. Okay I haven't had coffee yet and I"m not sure I'm making any sense. Oh well I only have a million or so creds to spend anyway :lol: .

I think NGE was CRUEL to the vet players :( . I agree that you perhaps should give Vanguard a try. It was great starting SWG fresh and shiny, setting up the economy, learning the professions, making mistakes, exploring... Perhaps that same feeling will be recaptured in Vanguard. After the NGE, I started playing WoW, and I was surprised at how SWG seemed to be changing to be a clone of WoW. Oh, except it was helluva lot easier to AIM and SHOOT in WoW <_< . Anyway, as far as staying in SWG goes, I recently reactivated my account, hoping there was some tiny thread of enjoyment left. :blink: I don't know what badges you have or if you have completed many missions, but perhaps you could go badgehunting? I'm going to go badgehunting, and also go to wookiee planet and do quests, and perhaps level up in space. Maybe you could go around taking screenshots of StarWarsy things, and post them? Otherwise, maybe taking a break to forget all the horrible things, then when you return everything will be "new"? :huh:

Well, I don't play single player games, so don't know about that. Yes it happened in WoW too though. My comp is on a hardwood floor, which stays pretty cool because the a/c vent is about four feet away. If I take off the side and have a fan blowing in, wouldn't that be bad, since dust would get in? And would my cats get electrocuted or something? :o Alright I'm going to try playing SWG this weekend, with a fan set up to catch the a/c air and blow it on the comp. If that doesn't work...*aims gun at computer* :rolleyes:

Actually Shaw, the reason I took the comp to the shop was because it started randomly shutting down completely, not just blackscreen. Turns out a power surge or something was giving me errors in the memory card or whatever (argh brain hurting) so anyway I installed a different mem card (I have 2 installed) and got a new power supply installed, so that's ok now. Yva, I was getting the black screen playing Wow also. Seems like the intense graphics just overwhelmed the comp. I do have a fan installed on the video card now, and I have the comp angled to have nothing near the sides or back. I'm sure it's not my firewall, Gepag, sounds frustrating though what you went through. I will be going along in SWG and suddenly *blackscreen of doom*. :cussing: Yeah Mav, I should check the forums for sure. I haven't had a lot of time lately...these 5 week summer courses are brutal :blink: . Perhaps it is a problem of overheating. I havent played SWG since it started getting hot down here (KY). I could bring my box fan over here I guess lol and aim it at the comp when I play graphic-intensive games. Can't hurt to try! Thanks for your ideas!
