    Cupcake.

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    So, for AnthroCon I'm REALLY wanting to get a cupcake that is identical to the one I have in SL, that is, a cupcake with pink frosting, light blue film/paper and a red cherry. However, I'm not sure I want to place a real one upon my head for obvious reasons. >:| But, if someone knows of where I could find a fake, or plushie one, or whatever. Do tell!

    sounds like it is doing a higher resolution / refresh then your monitor can handle ..

    try booting into safe mode and set your display to 800x600@60hz with 16bit color and reboot normally.

    If your graphics card is broken it will be broken outside of windows as well, you'll get anything from weird colorful characters on your screen to POST errors and refusal to boot.

    You can also try getting into your bios to delay the windows starting just to check if it gives you a screen. Probably by hitting 'del' like a maniac after turning the computer on.

    oh yea, if its XP, and you have a 2nd computer, just type \\computername\c$ on that 2nd one and you should be able to get on its C drive unless you have firewalls and what not running.

    Hey, turns out it was my monitor, and it's pretty much dead. Thanks so much for your help! I have a secondary monitor hooked up at the moment and I was wanting to buy a bigger monitor anyways :> I'm just glad it wasn't my video card or anything. Thanks again for your help! ;D

    So, I have an issue with my computer, I was on SL this morning, and then my screen just went black. I rebooted my computer, and I could see the start up screen and what not then it went black again. I've tried this over and over and I get the same black screen. However, I'm almost positive my computer is still starting up just fine, I can hear the normal start up tune and random programs starting up. So, I'm thinking my video card died on me, I can't get to safe mode either, because the screen goes black before I can get to choosing that option.

    But, worse.. it just hit me that I have some finals that require I print some papers off and I can't access them. I really really need all your peoples smarts to help me out. If my video card is indeed dead, I may be gone for some time until I can secure the funds to buy a new one, but more importantly, I need to print the papers from my computer.

    You suggestions are appreciated.

    I say, we follow their rules and see how long it lasts. Just like most are saying, even if we do follow their rules we will still be banned in the long run, but oh well! I'm sure we will at least get a few entertaining raids out of them before we are banned.

    Automatic gas-powered airsoft guns (powered by propane gas, actually) have existed for longer than electric ones have.

    Also, it's been a while since I've done paintball. Is the Tippman Model 98 still as popular as it was when I was in Jr. High? They sell those at the Wal-Mart around here now.

    The Tippman 98 is a cheap, but more than effective starter paintball marker. However, you wont get the "realistic feel" from it stock, but it's a great starter marker than can be easily modified.

    More satisfying kill? Messy, can hold fewer rounds, cannot reload as fast, does not feel like a real weapon, alternatives to hoppers are meh. The guns themselves make a wide array of noises, and there is already a gas version of the standard armalite format. Other companies have already innovated other ideas and they sound far better than any paintball gun.

    Can hold fewer rounds? Well yeah! We don't spray and pray, we like to pick our shots and conserve ammo. At least, that's what I thought was more realistic. As for paintball markers not feeling real? Oh boy, you must have never used one that wasn't bought outside of Walmart. Oh and, messy is what makes it so satisfying, if you were shot with a real weapon you would bleed, and that is messy, that's realistic, right?

    There's a gas version now too? Well, airsoft must be trying to catch up :>

    Don't get me wrong, I've seen airsoft in action, and yes, it does look fun. However, I've always chosen to play paintball over airsoft for the sheer power you feel. You're using either CO2 or Compressed Air to fire your rounds, and they fucking hurt. They're large rounds and they tear apart shit. From what I've seen in airsoft, you don't get the satisfying feeling associated with a kill. The bbs are so small it's impossible to tell when you have hit someone, and that simply is not fun for me. I love to see my shots hit my opponent, they're more than noticeable and it's such a rewarding experience. When it comes to descibing the power behind airsoft and paintball, airsoft hits make a "ting" sound and paintball hits make a "thud" sound. Also, airsoft guns sound .. for lack of a better word. . pathetic. You can hear all the parts moving around inside, and the electric hum when you fire. Unlike paintball, where you feel the rounds leave the gun, and not to mention it sounds rather nice.

    Oh and, the hopper can be replaced with more realistic looking magazines/clips, and the tank is almost always secured on the back of the player with a remote line.

    When blood seeps through their clothing >:)

    In airsoft, there are no referees purposefully calling people out who have paint on them or something. It isn't necessary becasue the people involved are honest people. Dishonest people get ostracized like they should be. :3

    There's no way it could be ever possible to play airsoft with mass numbers of people if there are no referees to call out players. Sorry, but people are not /all/ honest. Using a paintball marker leaves nice and more than noticeable marks that can easily be called out. Not only that, but paintballs are biodegradable, in other words, they basically dissolve safely without hurting the environment. So, those bbs may be cheap, but I'd rather not be shitting out plastic all over the place that could possible harm something.

    Oh, and to comment on the realism of paintball markers, more and more are the manufactures creating them to mimic the looks of real guns, so they're rather sexy and fun to use. But, I'd have to say my favorite part is looking back at the "battlefield" and seeing all the paint splatters. <3
