ONLY $349!

I was going to buy a 17″ flatpanel to add to my 19″ for my Mac setup, but needed a splitterbox for $250 for dual monitor. Didn’t make sense to buy all that when I could just get this 26″.

Got mine in Friday, and although I had to RMA because of defect in the screen, it was an AWESOME picture and saturation/brightness. Can’t wait to game on it.


Teamspeak server will be down Sunday to maybe Monday…

I have my new Fiber network install scheduled for NEXT Sunday, (Sept. 13th) so the Teamspeak server will be down, probably for the entire day or more.

There will be a new IP address, and I am also looking to do some upgrades to the little Linux server, such as better/quieter cooling fans, etc.

For those within the ATT service areas, Fiber is becoming more and more accessible, so you may want to check your region [ HERE ]. The cost for me was only 5¢ more than 6mbps DSL for the ‘elite’ Fiber @ 6mbps, but I bumped up $10 and will have a 10mbps down/1.5mbps up pipe now. The service is also bundled with TV, and the receiver can ’slingbox’ TV stations to your computers in the house. (watch TV without being in the living room)

I will let you know more about the service once I have it, but for me, I can save $39/mo by dropping the landline I had for the DSL, making it actually cheaper than the setup I had before. (plus some crazy bandwidth     :twisted:      )

Will post the IP once I have it.


Some pics from my trip to Utah for you guys…

Frontlines: Going down in a hail of gunfire?

Kaos and other Frontlines based sites seem to be filtering any/all negative feedback being posted in ANY of the forums on frontlineswar.com and Kaos. I can understand the flame threads, but even simple ‘negative feedback’ threads. I made a few reply postings just voicing my hesitation in buying the game until I see the demo to prove that much of the stuff the community voiced through the Beta was in fact fixed, and they are filtering it. I didn’t flame or anything. I was simply stating facts. I just made a reply post 10 minutes ago to frontlineswar.com, and they have removed the entire thread altogether now.

Really sad to see this kind of crap happening with such a potentially awesome game title. I will still see what the demo is like, but I doubt very seriously I will be purchasing a title from a company who has gone Gestapo with their censorship. They used to be very open to the community, but to now start filtering non-flame opinions/feedback people have in order to avoid a negative image to new players is really sad.

Once again, we PC’ers are being made to suffer at the hands of the console. I now wish they had just made the damned game solely for console and saved us the trouble.

:evil:

Listen up soldiers!

A bunch of us would like to get back together on Friday night for some old school Battlefield action… probably after 9pm EST… Hopefully many of you will be able to make it, as we have not all gamed together in quite some time.

We’d like to even do some Special Forces action, for those who have the expansion pack…

So sound off troops! We’d like to bring our group back together for a good time…
