Thanks for the advice TacoFreak. Most of the stuff you linked to is more expensive than what I had but I'm gonna weigh my options and try get the most power I can out of my limited budget, it all depends on how much I can get windows 7 for really.

Also I'll run the parts you suggested by my buddy see what he thinks, although you probably know more than him. I'll see what he thinks about the CPU/mobo and the GPU considering I requested Intel and NVIDIA when I asked him to find some parts..

Thanks again for your help.

HOLY SHIET TOM POSTED IN HIS OWN THREAD.

Stop trolling or I'm gunna hit you with my BAN STICK!

Not even Tom's friends are free from the wrath of Tom's Admin banstick.

Also now that there is the Halloween feature of movies/game in the games of the week spot do you have any plans to make an award for that, like art has the front page trophy?

Well I'm in the market for a new PC because my current one is going to be 7 years old in January. I had a friend send me a wishlist he made form Newegg and I was wondering what you guys thought.

DVD Drive. Too cheap to pay for a Blu-Ray drive.
Power Supply Unit
Graphics Card.
CPU
Case
RAM
HDD
Mother Board

To my slightly amateurish eye it all looks good. It all casts just under $800 USD.

I'm also looking for a monitor as well. Some I was looking at are:

23" LG Glossy Black. Not sure what the gloss is. Is it worth $30? 23" LG. Same as above but without the gloss. Same on Newegg.

23" Gateway. 23" Gateway. Same on Newegg.
21.5" Gateway.

23" Acer.
21.5" Acer.

23.6" Asus.
24" Asus.

28" Hanns-G
24.6" Hanns-G

All the monitors are Recommended Resolution 1920 x 1080, or a little over none under, with full 1080p HD. All have HDMI ports. 5ms- 2ms response time and 300cd/m2 brightness, I believe. The main ones I am looking at are the 23" LG and the 28" Hanns-G. The size really doesn't matter too much, although if I get the 28" I think I'll use it as a monitor and a TV, I really don't want to go under 21".

I am also looking for a nice mouse. Preferably a 7 button mouse. I am partial to the glow of Razers but I may be willing to change.

Also I need to get a new keyboard seeing as my current one is the one that shipped with my PC back in '03 so it is way more important than a mouse. The only thing I am really looking for in a keyboard is backlighting.

Obviously I'll need an OS and of coarse I'll get Windows 7 but I was wondering if there is anyway I could get it cheaper than the $189.99USD Home Premium retails for, because the more money I save on that the more I can spend on a monitor.

Now none of this is set in stone and if there is anything that you think should be changed or anything you would like to add please tell me. I've only got about $1300USD to spend on it so keep that in mind.
I will be checking back to this thread periodically to see what you respond with. If you wish you can hit me up with a PM if you feel the need.

Thanks for your time and help.

I took out the quality option at the very last minute and forgot that I made an achievement based on it. whoops. :P stupid mistake

Why? Why would you remove the quality option? Just because your game is 16-bit like doesn't mean it won't slow down on shitty computers. It really bugs me when authors removes the quality option.

Anyway thanks for actually caring about your game and fixing it. I actually enjoyed it unlike most people, although allowing going back to a checkpoint after dying to the boss would be very nice considering the going back to the start is very annoying.

Time Fuck seems to be full of glitches. First I got the medal for making it to level 22 and the screen just went black and I had to refresh the page, took a while because I wasn't sure if it was part of the game or not. Then after i finished the game and started playing user levels Sometimes when I would beat the level it would play one of the main game endings.

Not to mention the broken medal overyone knows about.

Also if anyone's interested my level is 227.

Its here no medals yet though.

Thanks for the update Coop. I'm glad I have finally made it onto the list.

That's good and all but did you add a quality setting feature to that update too.

Hurray I now know that I can not get the under 200 medal because my computer lags and the timer doesn't. Also I can't fix it because there is no control for quality. HURRAY!

+4 this week and here's to another +4, at least, for next week and possibly a Star Pacer under the new rule. Although my B/Ping has been lacking a bit. Since I got Team Fortress 2 a few weeks ago I have been playing that all the time.

For people trying to get cash faster in Enigmata there is one enemy that gives you 3million every time. It is one of those square satellite things, it isn't a ship, but it doesn't have the orange light in the middle. They take forever to kill though. Sorry I am too lazy to get a pic of it.

Also I believe that the Amazatron upgrade is a faster gold generator. I wasn't paying attention before but after I got that upgrade my gold was going up by +100 gold a second.

Little tip for Enigmata.

After the end of a level if you have taken damage and you have the Healing Technique upgrade hold B to repair your ship since you don't have to pay to recharge your energy.

Another Small Favor, by Zeebarf Type: Game Rating: Ages 13+

hurray its out.

I just farted and you don't see me making a thread about it.

And then we could pirate celebrity skins, like Lucy Liu, for the robots. Then the world would be one step closer to Futurama.

Well it's official. My PC is too shitty to get the beat the game medals and the 6Million point medal in the 5 minute shooter, even on low quality my computer lags and the timer doesn't.

I would say there is a limit.

My god yes she is the hottest. She isnt only smoking hot shes also smoking pot, and wants it legal. Not to mention how much of a sex freak she is.

lol c-c-c-combo breaker again. nun-chucks wants to join.

These recent medal games have been kinda lame for me.

Knightfall 2

meh gets boring and very repetitive after a while.

Epic Battle Fantasy 2

...Turn based strategy. I hate turn based strategy. Very well done though Matt.

Pirate Golf Adventure

Never played it yet. I have a feeling it will get boring and repetitive quick though.

Xtreme 5 minute Shoot em up

The best one out of all the new ones I think. Too bad my PC suck so much it can't run it at full speen on low quality so the best I can get is like 4.5million

Toss the Turtle

Another good game

Bomb Diggity

Ugh probably the worst one. Plagued with bad controls. a very floaty character, and horribly annoying enemies make it very difficult to even get close to some of the medals.

I can not wait for next week when A Small Favor 2 comes out. All the upcoming games look like they will be great games.

medals back up on this one

nope removed not working.

VERY IMPORTANT TIP FOR BOMB DIGGITY.

The author seems to have left out that you can use wasd to move and if you hit one of those BEFORE you use an arrow key then z will not work for attack and you can't use the arrow keys to move and h or j, can't remember, is attack.

Also anyone try this game yet with a gamepad with joy2key do you think it may be easier.

Don't worry he will be in the year 3000. Don't you watch Futurama. If you get caught by him outside, you may as well kiss your ass goodbye, unless you're Zoidberg in which you shall receive a pogo stick.

No that should be everything. Double check that you have all the weapons, all tanks, all jetpacks, the nuke, and the last-resort exploder. If so, try reloading the game (but NOT clearing the cache). This fixed a broken medal for me.

well, i have bought all the cannons, but when i click on the gold cannon and tank, it says i dont have enough money to buy them, even though i have bought the golden cannon previously and am using the tank currently

Have you equipped all the weapons. I heard that you need to have equipped all weapons at least once for the medal to work. If equipping all of them doesn't work try using them all at least once in a game. If that doesn't work I don't know.

Hey guys I just won the lottery, lol.

Also I really hate the sun. I haven't even seen it once the whole time I've been playing.

I can't wait until I make it on this list. I'm coming up there now I gained +15 due to clock day, 825 saves and 1 blam, lol a blam on clock day. I'm currently #308 and around 250 back from the current 300th place user.

I can't wait and I'll see you all when I make it the list.

Today because of Clock Day I became a Major, Major Payne.
Do you want me to tell you the story about the little engine that could?

The account suspension is causing a huge movement. Go to YouTube and search for "Bring Back TFS"

I don't think it was from the creators of DBZ. It was probably some assholes that don't like their videos posing as the creators.

I read in a bio for them somewhere that the creators had a problem originally and they would leave them alone if they drilled it into the viewers head that it was a parody, which they did.

YouTube has a horrible system for flagging videos since any group can mass flag and get a video/user removed/suspended. The came thing happened to Cloud8745's NaturalBornGamers account.
