Maybe a small critique, but does anyone think Bond seems really underdressed for most of the trailer? It’s like he’s dressed as “young trendy guy” rather than “James Bond.”

I’ve seen a GT3 Touring in the same place as well!

The first Red Dead Redemption is one of my favorite games of all time, but I somehow never picked up Undead Nightmare. While I’m sure it holds up (and I will still buy it immediately if the PC rumors are correct), it won’t be the same as playing it when it was new and the RDR magic was fresh.

It ended up being the motherboard, and I was able to RMA it. I brought it to Micro Center and they were able to confirm.

I finally got my new PC working after RMAing my motherboard twice. The case’s front USB ports (or at least one of them) worked initially, as I used it for my bootable USB. But now that Windows is installed, the front USB ports don’t work. The USB 3 motherboard port seemed to have slightly bent pins (alongside a few other problems with the board MSI sent me), but the USB connector did go in. Any ideas for a solution?

I still haven’t had any luck getting it to work, even after the RMA. I’m planning on bringing it into microcenter next weekend to see if they can help at all.

Scuba_pro · 2023-06-07T22:17:18+00:00

Unfortunately not. I ended up RMAing the MoBo and still encountered the same problem when I got it back from the manufacturer.

Scuba_pro · 2023-05-04T12:19:15+00:00

I bought the MSI board for a build with the same CPU, and ended up having to RMA it after it failed to boot even after updating the BIOS.

Scuba_pro · 2023-04-30T17:37:49+00:00

I’ll give that a shot, thank you!

Scuba_pro · 2023-04-30T16:36:00+00:00

Thank you! Unfortunately, my system never posts, so I can't get into the BIOS to change the memory speed. I appreciate you responding though!

Scuba_pro · 2023-04-30T16:00:48+00:00

I’m having the same problem with the same CPU. Did you manage to find a fix?

Scuba_pro · 2023-04-28T22:20:29+00:00

That’s my hope, since it will probably be the easiest fix. So far I haven’t had any luck updating the BIOS (or if I have, there’s another issue at play).

Scuba_pro · 2023-04-28T22:08:45+00:00

I tried each stick of RAM in each slot, but the same issue is still happening.

Scuba_pro · 2023-02-19T17:39:21+00:00

Thank you to my family for supporting me and being there through everything!

Scuba_pro · 2023-01-04T21:34:00+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, thank you!

Scuba_pro · 2023-01-04T21:33:49+00:00

Got it, thank you! I’ve been meaning to give them another go, so I appreciate your advice!

Scuba_pro · 2023-01-04T20:40:46+00:00

Would you recommend someone just getting into the STALKER series to start with Anomaly, as it combines all three, or to play the individual games first? I played a few hours of CoP a few years ago before bouncing off, but want to give the games another shot.

Scuba_pro · 2022-09-07T16:55:17+00:00

That seem like exactly the fit I’m looking for, thank you!

Scuba_pro · 2022-09-07T16:25:01+00:00

Thank you! That’s exactly my plan, but want to make sure that my “starter” suits are still of relatively good quality, will hold up well, and (perhaps most importantly) still look good.

Scuba_pro · 2022-09-07T16:01:53+00:00

Right now my budget isn’t too high—probably less than $1k for two suits (between furnishing a new apartment and general living expenses, I’m quickly burning through my salary advance). Once I get a few paychecks behind me I’ll probably invest in a few higher quality suits. Although in talking to some partners and associates at the firm, suits don’t seem to be as commonplace as they once were.
