Speak your mind: Yap, yap!

Yes, I am up that late again, and yes - I got to watching this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-i7ItA8lqc

And.. I had to post it again, because it's just that amazing! WE are that amazing! \o/

The forum ate the reply I posted! *RAGE!*

So, last night my computer stopped starting. It still get's electrisity, but it does nothing with it!
This is annoying as hell! And tomorrow I'm sending it in for a checkup.
Depending on that the verdict it (Aka, if fixing it goes for above â,¬200) I'll get getting a new laptop (happy days) And then only be off WoW for say, a week. Otherwise I have no idea really. Fixing time I'll take as some sort of price aswell.

This is annoying as shit and I plan on spamming the forums when I can! ARG!

[Lars]

Doubleposting.

So, found out that it was the Motherboard that was broken. Sadfacing! And the fixing company doesn't think it's worth it to fix it even since it's far to expensive for the computers age.

[Kozgugore]

Sounds all too familiar. I had this laptop that would constantly burn out because of the motherboard blowing itself up. Ended up buying a new one myself. Never looked back, as the one I own now is -so- much better, and for the same price. Hope it works out for you!

[Lars]

Well, my XPS was three years old, and find a modern laptop that has a mobo that lasts 4 and you're lucky.

Just that getting a new to fix the problem is at like, 800ish euro. And you get a new, modern, laptop for that.

Hey-O! Vaio!

Pop it, lock it. Peace. Vaio's before ho's.

[Kozgugore]

Yep, Vaio here! Working perfectly so far.

[Mazguul]

My old Vaio, which I loved, worked for three and a half years. However - I really abused it!

I left it turned on for months at a time, it went on holiday with me constantly (I took it in a sauna without thinking once), travelled with me on my passenger's seat so I could listen to a films/music on my eight hour drives (or it rattled around loose in my boot), I dropped it at least once a week, I fell asleep on it more times than I could count, every weekend I dragged it all around the country with me to see various friends for LANs, every night it was forced to curl up with me in a duvet to play WoW/Starcraft/ put up with me writing fan fictions / yawned as I made BG2 mods / played films  -as- I was doing all those things / rolled it's eyes as I messed about with autoCAD for work / screamed with boredom while I fiddled with photoshop / sat on the kitchen side as a recipe book / had things thrown at it when it did not to do as I asked...

... and you know what? If I could afford it I would have bought another! That poor laptop was tortured by me every -single- day of it's working life and not ONCE did it complain =) In the end it over heated (oooo, I wonder why) and even -then- I used it for another three months after - I took it to bits and had several fans pointing at it *face desk* I really didn't want to let it go. If you can get a Vaio... do so!!! They're wonderful =D

/end rant

Currently I have an XPS which does what I'd like it to do... but seriously, I'd say get a Vaio!

[Gnash]

Apart from that Vaios are cooler than the average brand, but less hipster than an overpriced MacBook.

[Mazguul]

.... never get a mac... of any sort.

[Kozgugore]

If I didn't think you were describing a laptop, I'd swear you were trying to describe a boyfriend there, Maz.

[Mazguul]

After re-reading what I wrote with your comment in mind, Koz... I can see what you mean! And some of it sounds so... wrong! XD

But no boyfriend could ever compare to that laptop =P

[Lars]

Looked up Vaio, would get one after Mazzy's little confession if only for the pricetag. Have a (according to Sweclockers) decent laptop for around â,¬1000, to get about the same from Vaio ad 50% to that price. >:

[Gnash]

I ordered my custom Vaio from the sony store. Just took the upgrades I want which cost me about 700 euro (basically all I took was the big-ass videocard and 4 gb of memory). No shipping fee either.

I took the widescreen 15.5" version though. Bigger screens cost more, naturally.

Right, for a project of school I need a program that can record stuff while I'm playing Dragon age for example. Because I'm going to compare in game cinematics of RPGs with actual movies and compare the quality of it.

So, anyone know a free program that can record stuff in game? And this for a long time or limitless?
