Off-Topic Discussion / Getting a decent PC?
« on: September 01, 2011, 05:13:10 PM »
So I'm getting a PC for my birthday, as I'm fed up with my laptop. It has everything I need... except a half decent graphics card. Therefore I'm getting a good deskop. What should I get? I'd like at least 3gb ram, 200GB of HDD or more and as good a graphics card as I can get, for £500 or less. I have no clue about buying PCs, so I'm not even sure if £500 would buy me a relic from 1995. In case it makes a difference, I have the monitor sorted.

If possible I would like to avoid building a PC, because I'll all end up broken and in the bin with all the small bits missing.

Also, nothing from Apple. I am putting XP on this thing and that's final. ;) Also, I'd prefer no Dell. Getting Stereo Mix on those things is a pain, and you can't record sound without it.

*Note* Could you please tell me what kind of game I could play on these PCs? I mean, Minecraft doesn't require as good a PC as Crysis on max settings.

I greatly appreciate your time.

P.S.
How could I transfer my ~100GB of crap from my laptop to the new PC? The largest USB I have is like 1/4 of a GB

Off-Topic Discussion / Parental Controls gone mad?
« on: August 31, 2011, 12:55:14 PM »
Today, for no reason at all, WPC has started blocking ALL websites on my PC, giving the reason "Rating service is unavaliable", despite unrated sites being allowed.

I am running a scan ATM but nothing is showing up. Everything is blocked on all my browsers. I am on Vista, and currently on an ibahn connection, as I am on holiday (I.e. Unsecured, enter code or pay to gain acess to Internet.

My father is not having this problem and he too is on the ibahn network, same with my iPod

Can anyone help?

Changed, because of the new question, and I don't want to make a new thread. Old OP is in the spoiler below.

Where did the option to have a URL for your avatar go? Why did it go?

Off-Topic Discussion / OpenGL error
« on: August 16, 2011, 05:11:57 PM »
I've been trying to play SSBB on my laptop, and I've been trying this program called Dolphin. I loaded up the .ISO onto is, and this error came up:


I'm not sure of my videocard, I have a Sony Vaio laptop, 3GB RAM, around 100GB of space left on HDD. I'm not sure if this can be fixed, and how to fix it. Strange how my Minecraft runs (slowly) with OpenGL on.

Existing Games / Robot Wars:Arenas of Destruction
« on: August 03, 2011, 03:16:28 PM »
IMO, the best of all the official RW games. I also have a fun challenge, kill SirKillalot. It's easy if you use mortis, sotry somone else. ;)

I have a dl for it in my sig, as it is a dead game, like RA2. 400MB, no viruses, came straight from my disc (My 1st ever PC game, still have it. ;) )

Also, discuss any other points about the game, what you like, strength of bots, building tips ect.

Chatterbox / Best national anthems
« on: August 01, 2011, 07:28:50 PM »
Title explains it all really. My entry is Peru, an extract goes like this:

For a long time the oppressed Peruvian
the ominous chain he dragged
Condemned to a cruel servitude
for a long time, for a long time
for a long time he quietly whimpered

Discussion / Flail SNS unrealistic?

I thought flails were unrealistic, untill I saw this:

The robot with the huge wheels has a wrecking ball on the end of some wire, similar to a flail!

Real Robotics Discussion / TRB's antweight project
« on: July 20, 2011, 06:52:58 AM »
I have been thinking about making a pair of robots from cardboard, a pair of flipper, little more than the size of an xbox cotroller, if possible. I was wondering what the cost would be, what tools I would need and where to get the parts. Not for any competition, just to mess around with. Like a cheap version of AntyB, if you have ever seen that, but a more generic flipper design.

Stock Showcases / TheRoyalBadger's Stock Showcase
« on: July 12, 2011, 06:27:31 AM »
I have just downloaded stock onto my new laptop, and I CBA to get DSL. So I am trying my hand at stock, even though I, usually, only try DSL.

So, to start off, a MW HS, WTFbot, so named because if I rotated the HPZs into each other by the servos, it would havok out similar to the trinity glitch. IDK if anyone has experienced this before. DSA, of course:


As always, constructive criticism is welcomed.

Site News and Feedback / New forum logo?
« on: July 11, 2011, 10:05:17 AM »
I was bored today, so I whipped up these two (horrific) logos for GTM in 10 mins, in the same dimensions as the original, at the top of the homepage.

1:


2:


So, I was wondering, could anyone make a good logo for GTM? I'm not saying the current one is bad or needs to be replaced, but it is something to do when bored. The only rules are that is must be 377 pixels wide by 98 pixels high, and must mention 'GameTechMods' or 'GTM' somewhere on it.

I look forward to interesting entries, if anyone can be bothered at all

Off-Topic Discussion / Fraps admin rights?
« on: June 03, 2011, 01:52:44 PM »
OK, so I don't have admin on my Vista computer. I just downloaded Fraps and Idon't want my parents to put the UAC code in every time I was to record, as they take 5-10 mins to even bother. Is there any way to make it so I don't need admin rights to start up Fraps all the time?

Simple steps, please. Thanks!

Chatterbox / 4chan is English?!?!?!?
« on: April 24, 2011, 07:48:52 PM »
I just read that 4chan is the largest English imageboard.
Oh the shame.

From my limited knowledge, 4chan is not so much a house for trolls, more a troll factory. A huge hate machine with some Menes thrown in. Correct me if I'm wrong.

In fact, IDK why I made a thread of this. What is There to reply to? Ah well, getting my opinions out here.

Site News and Feedback / Wiki Requirements
« on: April 23, 2011, 02:03:46 PM »
Before I start, can I say that I had no idea where to put this thread. So I put it here.

I was wondering how I could get myself a page on the wiki. Is there any special Requirements, such as post count or the requirement to have achieved an important achievement? Do I make the page or does one of the wiki adimins do it? Sorry for the noob questions.

Thanks for the help in advance

TRB
