Hey guys, I'm back. And I think I have bad news.

The cooling fan on my laptop has died.

Which for those of you who know how hot a laptop gets, is very very bad.

Anyone know a way to help?

Take the fan out, take some pictures of it, pm me - I'll either have one I can send you (although not if you're in the US, sending a $5 part by international shipping just seems retarded) or I can show you where to get one you can put straight back in.

Honestly it's a five minute job, but people who work in PC shops like I do love this stuff as you can charge £20 in labour for 10 minutes work ^_^

Speaking of which...

What kind of laptop is? it can be fixed with some models...

If not might as well get a new one... i recently got a Acer timeline X with nvidea optimus For 800$ a few months ago.

Can run crysis o very high
Surprisingly thin
8hr+ battery.

Just a suggestion.....




This machine is still under warranty.

Due to an unconscionable degree of suck, I am going to have to send it to a service center.

Since I live in Alaska, and Hewlett Packard sucks, even though the population here rivals that of the largest city in Montana, due to not being in the lower 48 I have to mail it there.

Even though they are footing the bill since the fan was faulty and it was their **** up, I now will not have the option to collect my computer before I leave town.

Meaning that more than is likely, I will be completely off the grid for the next week.

This sucks.

This really REALLY sucks.

This sucks so much I can't even describe the quantities of suckitude.

Right now the only thing I even have access to is my old, nearly 7 year old desktop. Which has difficulty running GIFS.

I think you meant to say 715 pages of speculations and occasional off-topic banter... 

Also, that list makes my mouse scroll wheel weep.

Not complaints, passionate study and defense of Bioware's brilliance in crafting the endings, a brilliance which others would deny in favor of simple bashing.  Oh, and when we get bored, random discussion of various diverse topics.

Take a look at the jaw-dropping result of my poll.

Should Mass Effect 4 continue Shepard's story?
http://social.biowar...466/polls/34384


Interesting - almost a 50-50 split. Personally, for what it's worth I think that ME3 is the right place for Shepard's story to end. The character arc would be overstretched going into a 4th game that picks up after ME3 and there is a risk of the character becoming a bit of a self-parody. Meanwhile a prequel would be pointless given that Shep's past is pretty well fleshed-out and there would be no sense of mystery or surprise.

Also, the number of variables that would need to carry over from ME3 to a potential ME4 would be a bit unreasonable given the level of divergence across 3 long games - with a new hero, just the major decisions could be imported. Of course, this assumes that IT is true (or at the very least that the current ending is a a  major piece of misdirection).

A new hero, with a new crew helping rebuild the galaxy after the reaper war would be a fine basis for the story and it would be interesting to explore the politics and the human (and turian, asari, salarian, krogan etc etc) cost of the war, maybe drawing some parallels to the aftermath of WWII with a new political order emerging while the population try to put their lives back together amidst a broken economy and smashed infrastructure.

There's other possibilities of course, this was the first one that occurred to me.

Ah, HP...

Yeah, if you send it away you'll have it back by... August?
If you do it yourself you could have it working in a few minutes.
Hell, most laptops are possible to open up without breaking warranty seals ;)

Sounds good to me, but I have a huge problem, with this indoc platform. 
If IT is right, what happens afterwards? I think this a point worth focusing on. Do you really believe The giant brilliant indoc storyplot will be true, Shep rejects takes the elevator to the Citadel and uses the Crucible to kill all reapers instantly? 
That would still be extremly poor.

 

I hope that isnt the case. This is where I'm counting on Bioware to either come up with something truly phenomenal in order to end the Reaper threat, or have it end in a way that is satisfying, but leaves the Reapers around for future games to deal with. 


I personally want an ending of the Reaper threat in Mass Effect 3.  However, I wouldn't mind if they didn't reveal the Reapers' origins, and instead left that open to be discovered in Mass Effect 4/5/6/whatever.  Or, they could reveal the Reapers' origins, have the Reapers destroyed, but hint that their creators (If they were created by another race and didn't do something akin to Arian's theory.) may be an even BIGGER threat.  That way, they could end the Reaper threat, Shepard's story could be over, but they would be open for future developement.  


If we're talking about the end of Shepard's story, I'd like this to be what happens.  Bioware said that ME3 was the end of Shepard's story.  I don't want them to break ANOTHER promise (Though if IT is true, which I'm 98% certain it is, that DOES redeem them.).

This. So very much. It's been huge fun following this thread even if I haven't contributed much. I'm amazed that so many people are still reacting in a superficial, knee-jerk way to the ending rather than actually stopping to think about what might be going on under the surface. I'm not complaining, I'm enjoying myself :lol:.

Cheese for everyone!  Wait, scratch that.  Cheese for no one.  That can be just as much of a celebration, if you don't like cheese.  True?

PM me the model then and I'll find you the parts you need and instructions on disassembly/reassembly avoiding warranty seals :lol:

Also folks, I've got my main PC/temp studio setup working, ended up
switching to Presonus Studio One after having a total nightmare with my
Cubase license.
The long and short of which is that I now have an
even better setup for looking at audio stuff. So, if there's anything
anyone wants me to look into, post here and I'll do it tomorrow after
work (UK time).

And what about when she said it's not a plothole that EDI survives in destroy?

I have yet to see this happen.

That makes......several of us, I've lost count how many times I've replayed the destroy ending with high EMS and different combinations of squad members, EDI has never once stepped off the crashed Normandy, and so far as I know, not one person who has claimed has ever shown proof, that's not to say they are lying, but with something that big it's better to have the proof to your claim before saying anything.



I've only had it happen to me once, and that was on my 1st playthrough. I had used EDI for almost each mission, and I talked to her each time I returned to the Normandy. Unfortunately, I don't have a youtube account, so I can't post it!


What platform? Maybe you can send me your save? I'm on PC.
