I'm not dead!

Nov 29, 2005 macguy link
Yea, I'm still here. I don't read the boards much. How are all my old buddys doing? (sorry I can't remember all the names) but ummm lebermac, borb, smittens, ermmm damn those are the main ones I remember. How about all the former IA members?

So, what's going on in my life? Nothing, same girlfriend, same house, same computer bleh. I fixed up an old summer 2000 indigo imac, it's a 400 Mhz G3. I installed a 120 gig 7200 RPM 8 megabyte cache western digital hard drive in it. Hey...it was on sale for 40 bucks after rebate. It's been running good for the last 2 1/2 months. It's even running os 10.4.2(yea, I still need to update that one to 10.4.3). It's my storage computer..for.....files yea(not porn, mostly video files(movies, tv shows etc, of corse, all legal copies, personal back ups)

So, lets see, I got my learning permit! (for driving) I take my road test may 22nd and when I pass I can then drive all by myself. Muwww hahhahahaha. So I may be getting this 1989 dodge aires. Yea I know it sucks, but this lady is giving it away, a mechanic is looking at it tomarrow to see why it won't start. If it's under 200 bucks then he's been told to fix it. Which means I will be pimping it out with street glow once I get a job. That's the ONLY thing I'll put on it. I just want it to look cool, haha.

Damn, this is a long thread that probaly no one will read all the way to the end. Oh well, and now that I think about it, this should be in off-topic. Oh well, somebody will move it there.

Honored to be remembered.

Hello Macguy...
Nov 29, 2005 macguy link
Damn sorry for forgetting you rouge, hello lebermac. (lebermac check your work e-mail. I sent you an e-mail.

Celkan DOES NOT = me, never has never will

Nobody could be my equal except my wonderful girlfriend sofia (although she's more like, kinda above me in some ways, she's smarter than I am!)

Anyways, it'a 11:29 pm and I need to go sleepy poo

Thanks for responding, I didn't think anyone would.

Now a big question...do any of the devs remember me. I'm think a1k0n should, from my constant bothering. Hehe, don't worry guys, in a few months(possibly by january) I'll be back and asking you loootttss of quesitons don't you worry!

Hey Macguy! You might remember me from WAAAY back, (I think I left the IA a good 6 months ago.) Hope to see you around, and if you run into me, than remember I'm a sadistic Itani-hating Serco now! :D

Haha when I was playing Vendetta I was using a refurbed 99' iMac. Anyway got a new Powerbook now, so next time I see you in game, its going be in colour! And texture! And at >10fps... Its gonna be like a whole new game!

BTW watch those iMacs heat up with anything more than a hand crafted, mud-brick, circa 1400BC hard drive in it. Especially in the middle of an Australian summer (yeah I know I should have been hitching to the beach, not fucking around with computers). If you dont think mining is challenging, try finding a roid that will heat up slower than my old computer... :\

I remember trying to integrate a floor fan into my set up so I could record DJ sets digitally without melting my record collection and cracking the glass in my windows. In fact, throw that iMac away, $40 was waaaaay too steep. Thats a lot of VO subscription! Good to hear from you mate, and anyway I expect you will be signing up with the rest of us old school lurkers some time in the future... Haha.

Remember that real life isn't like this game. If you dent up your car it doesn't automaticaaly repair itself when you park it in the garage.

When I park my car in the garage (well, carport), it gets stolen. Real life sucks.

@Infinite_Skillz

I haven't had any problems with putting hotter drives in iMacs (2 machines, no problems so far).

It is true that heat dissipation by convection isn't as good, but you *could* always install a fan...

Oh, and... welcome back macguy, unbeknownst to me though you are.

Wait, you put ME behind BORB!?

Pfffffffff

Anyway, don't you think its a bit soon for a "remember me?" thread? You're burned into my mind like the time I got my hand caught in the oven (No, YOU'RE a bad analogy!)
Nov 30, 2005 macguy link
hehe people love me. I feel so....old skool. I mean yea, I wasn't in the alpha, only the beta but. hehe, damn I'm missing alot.

So yea, I'm gonna be buying a car soon. A used crappy car, but a car still is a car. I'll post up some gangsta pictures for you all.

That way I can show all you west coasters how us east coasts do. YEA!

hey macguy. you aren't the only lurker.

Just remember, a Dodge Aries does not handle like an IBG.
Nov 30, 2005 smittens link
Nuthou5e! I remember you! Hey, that's awesome that you're still here!

/lavish attention "nuthou5e"

There's a guy that deserves an "I'm not dead" thread

LOL nut - remember MGI can't fly an IBG worth a damn, either.
