You can actually take files from your HDD without being logged in. So long as you've got power going to the motherboard.

OKAY

DONT DO WHATEVER THESE MORONS SAY. Seriously, if you have no backups of your data it is extremely important that you do what I say.

You will need; A computer with a CD burner, an empty CD (600megs), internet AND a medium to back stuff up.

Go to the Ubuntu website and download Linux.

you don't seem to get the deprement of my situation right now.
MY COMPUTER IS FLATLINED

I assumed multiple times it may have been a long standing hardware failure
This just came without any warning

my vista won't boot

it gets stuck on the diagnostics screen.
I'm debating whether to boot from cd, I heard it erases your hard drive

if this is true then I have to find another way
I have 4 years of pure flash work on my computer

modern warfare 2 was snorting auto pilot sequence gameplay every 2 corridors.
there's nothing more de-immersing to me than loosing control of my character, which is why I like valve games so much.

cinematics, without the puppet strings.

Style

style can be a really subjective category.

Do you mean style as in gameplay?

meh, still looks generic
I mean something that throws the entire safe-played formula almost every mainstream fps has been using ever since 2008.

Like mirrors edge, or fallout
A game innovative or that has the power to break down genre barriers

How do you prepare for Multiplayer? Posted December 18th, 2010 in Video Games

for CSS I always need to play a little single player quake 3 if I'm really rusty. I usually practice on quake 3 with the railgun because in css I love to scout

Then I spend at least 6 minutes on Kozzy-Targets (pic below) to train.

Then I spend 20 minutes on my fav deathmatch server until my k/d is at least over 1.5. Then I'm ready to get started on no respawn, zombie, jail servers

When is the next NEW fps game... Posted December 18th, 2010 in Video Games

And no, I don't mean new as in coming out.
I mean new as in the first new fps game that doesn't exhaust the same patriotic, stale, scripted gameplay centering around modern combat and regenerating heath.

this is why I like valve so much

Response to: Wikileaks & Stuff Posted December 10th, 2010 in General

I don't really know much about the ordeal but I will say this
I don't support wiki-leaks at all on this one,
yes, I know
hit the post reply button now
rearrange my quote to something self insulting, I don't really care.

The inevitable truth is Wiki-leaks took it to far on this one, far to the point where there might actually be another 9/11. It's not just about freedom of press anymore as wiki-leaks just threatened freedom head-on by revealing government classified information for everysingle websurfing terrorist in the middle east to see.

But I will say this,
If Wiki-leak supporters really want to defend what their doing they will have to do so in a politically strategic manner and not by go rambo4chan-style haxxor on anyone they think is against them

The World Trade Center bombing Posted December 10th, 2010 in General
