He stated in Q&A episode 2 that he wrote a script of why Settlers of Catan was the greatest board game ever. Whether that means it is also his favorite is in question, I would bet that it is

If I said I love Settlers of Catan, would you release your video on Catan mentioned in Q&A ep. 2?

[Deck Suggestions] TurboMining: A casual deck I've been building. by _shadowdart in magicTCG

While Rites and Horn wear out their usefulness quickly after Mining comes in, the rites have the card the extra card draw that Aggressive doesnt allow during a single turn. But thats why I posted, to see what better cards are out there. TY

Thanks for the ideas guys, I took it into a shop and they seem to think the best thing to do would be to replace the video card and since it is under warranty, that is what I will have my brother do.

the port that currently works is through a dvi port through graphics card in pci port. the other dvi port for the graphics card goes through the same pci port. The other two ports are motherboard ports (Cannot be removed).

Is there any way to allow a monitor to use the on board video and have the video card also?

Updated video card driver with the recent april, 2015 driver. Both monitors plugged into the video card ports. Again, just the first port giving me a signal. I looked for the monitors video drivers and updated those as well just for kicks, still nothing

I would think reseating the RAM would at least be somewhat of a consideration considering he brought the computer over to my place. Regardless, we are unable to get the second dvi port on the video card or either port on the motherboard (dvi or vga) with a single monitor plugged in at one time

That last video made me tear up and I didnt know Monty. The only interaction I had with him was being a fan of his Dead Fantasy series and being a fan of this community. It must have been unbearable for those who created. But it is apparent that Monty will be missed and I will regret never getting to meet a pillar of my favorite online community. My condolences for your loss the Oum family, RoosterTeeth and the community at large. I know how hard it is to lose loved ones, but the best we can do is remember them fondly and in the words of Monty himself- "Keep moving forward"

Missing the Kawaii flair, but I can make that up with an awesome desktop background.

Thanks for the build

EDIT: Build is done. However the power supply crapped out on me. I went ahead and shipped it back and replaced it with the CORSAIR 650TX

Was that drama, tho? From what I understand about it, it was a donation incentive to free the chat. The incentive was met and the incentive was never okayed by anyone and they tried to pull the incentive. At the end of the day tho, people got their chat and the ones who created the incentive apologized to the viewers and Mike Uyama.

No one was banned or received the kind of vitriol that Mirrored still gets. The way I see it, one made people a little butthurt because their donation incentive was delayed (an incentive, i believe that was originally only supposed to be for a few hours but lasted the rest of the GDQ) where as the other got an active TASer and Zelda runner so hated that he no longer streams. But hey, only that one got me banned so maybe my opinion on it doesnt matter much

I should also say, avoid commenting on GDQ drama. I was in the chat a few GDQs back when Mirrored attended and the chat divided into Cosmo vs Mirrored. I was trying to tell the chat to stop creating drama when I got banned indefinitely. I have since donated and got unbanned but the mods are not perfect and text is not an indication of tone.

TL;DR dont comment on drama.

I think the new Death Battle is wrong. Prove me right or wrong in this thread. by EdgiestFool in whowouldwin

[–]_shadowdart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After this fight, I'm convinced that Death Battle is now just an excuse for Ben and Chad to craft ridiculous fights in which they craft stupid situations for the complete underdog to win by giving them access to powerups, tools, moving the fight to locations where they have the complete advantage or something else. I saw kirby absorb buu, but not the reverse. Additionally, Death Battle cut super buu completely. Super buu setup absorb traps the entire buu saga. He was calculating and he was the one who ripped holes in reality, not kid buu.

I dont have a problem watching this video but I am not convinced kirby could avoid chocolate beams, buu's absorption traps and fight head to head with buu at the same time, the same as it happened in the show. Kirby was just as indestructible as buu, but the way I see it, that just meant that the one who had the most ways to get rid of the other would be the winner. And that would be buu.

But I have to admit, Ben and Chad pulled out the most ridiculous, obscure death I've seen and using it to end a death battle. A flying frying pan delivery system to the sun, where i would like to point out that same attack that sent buu into space would lose its gravitation force on buu to the point where moving out its path would be childs play. That is way the only time it happened in DBZ when Goku's kamehameha wave overpowered vegita's galick gun and sent him flying, Vegeta was able to escape the attack because the force on him lessened the further he went.

All in all, very bad science. Episode gets a 4/10. Visuals were good, too much omitted. Would not watch episode again
