Ah cool, we had a chill group back then studying for the mcat together I remember. Best of luck with this next one I'm sure you'll rock it 👍
Spiral Knights is my current distraction of choice. However, it's in a "preview" stage (they refuse to use terms like "alpha" or "beta" testing), however if anyone wants in I've got a handful of invites collecting dust.

I play counter strike source and team fortress 2 mainly, as well as some other steam games after one of my exams to de-stress a little for a couple of hours 🙂. That, and pizza + beer = heaven every 2-3 weeks.
Naw... best destressor after an exam is my 12 gauge and the local trap range. Guess where I'm going to be in 3-4 hours? Video games, however, are much cheaper.

Looked it up, looks like it could be fun! Mind sending an invite this way?
Ditto on the trap range as well.
Sent it to the hotmail account listed in your profile.
Shot a 21 and 22 today, great way to destress after a test about nasty bojingos and peepers.

Got it, thanks!
Does anyone out there still play D2 at all?
Sometimes I'll log on if I get the itch...
This is somewhat off-topic but I figured all you pc gamers would at least appreciate it. All of the parts for my new desktop finally arrived yesterday and I spent all night putting everything together, I just have to add software and overclock stuff now. Here are the specs;
case-XCLIO Blackhawk extreme full tower cooling case
power supply-corsair professional series ax 1200 1200watts
mobo-Asus p8p67 pro lga 1155 intel p67 sata 6gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motheroard
CPU-Sandy Bridge I7-2600k (Serious Overclocking!!!)
GPU-SAPPHIRE 100290SR Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Eyefinity 6 Edition Video Card x2 in order to Crossfire
Hard drive-Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST3500418AS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive x 2 for 1tb data
Ram-G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL x2 for 16gb of Ram!
CPU Cooler-Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm SSO CPU Cooler (This thing is absolutely massive but should let me oc my cpu to at least 4.5ghz.
SSD-Crucial RealSSD C300 CTFDDAC064MAG-1G1 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) x2 for 128 gb for operating system and games to be put on for super fast loading times!
burner-ASUS Blu-ray Burner BW-12B1LT LightScribe Support
Monitors-ASUS VW224U 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - 5000:1, 2ms, 1680x1050, DVI x 6
Speakers-Logitech Z523 2.1 Speaker System
mouse+keyboard-Already have a really nice high sensitivity gaming mouse and keyboard
Thats it! I'm really excited about the 2nd gen intel cores as the benchmarks I've seen are absolutely amazing since you can overclock to easily to 4.5-4.8gzh on an air cooling system. My old desktop was definitely beginning to get slow and could not run any new high end games on full settings anymore without terrible fps. I'm pretty sure this monster will eat any new game that come out in the next year or so without any problems!

Damn son. That PC is beast. You should be gaming not posting on SDN. 
PCs probably won't need many upgrades since game developers have shifted the industry towards development of console games(old hardware compared to modern PC standards) instead of PC games. So we are stuck with games that utilize very little resources until the next generation of consoles come out.
Has anyone here played Trauma Center on the Wii? We need an SDN review of this game. 👍

It's pretty good, though it is hard not to rage when the stupid Wii controller doesn't respond correctly. I try to get games both my wife and I can play for the Wii, in the end this game gave my wife too much anxiety...oh well back to Raymond Raving Rabbids.

My guess is a deposit and a half to an Osteopathic Med school.

Nice build man! I've been hearing some great things about the new Sandy Bridge's. Probably about time to upgrade my first gen core.
What are you using to hold your 6 monitors in place? I'm assuming 3 on-top of 3?

I've heard rumors of Modern Warefare 3 being released in November! A part of me hopes its true and a part of me hopes it never happens since the whole MEDSCHOOL thing will be happening at that time.

Doubt it....there's been virtually no hype, and black ops is still a relatively new release...

MW2 was released a year prior to Black Ops, so it's a possibility.

But Black ops isn't by infinitiward, which is the only reason why I would think they might release MW3 at the end of the year, but then again I'm not sure since half the main people working on the MW series quit.

I doubt they will have a new one in November as well. Before, when they were coming out once a year, they were split between Infinity Ward and Activision. So, Activision would release in 2007, Infinity Ward 2008, Activision 2009, and finally Infinity Ward in 2010. Now that Activision is essentially out of the picture, I'm not sure what's going to happen with the franchise.

Yeah, I'm having alot of fun with this. If you aren't playing on a PvP server you need to make a new guy on one. I started on a PvE server but it got dull around lvl 20, remade a guy on "No Man's Land" and haven't went back to my original character yet.
Yea, I play on The Killing Joke. You should make a Hero on The Killing Joke so I can kill you over and over and over again.

I also play normal games like WoW, Starcraft II, and COD.
But a majority of my gaming time is actually tabletop games like Magic: The Gathering and Dominion/Resident Evil.
I haven't seen anyone posting about tabletops...does anyone else play them or am I alone in a sea of pixel lovers

I can be fairly geeky, per my wife, but whenever my wife sees a group of ya'll at the mall she usually says "thank you for not being THAT geeky".
For some reason table top players remind me of LARPers. Don't know what a LARPer is? Neither did I until I saw a group of them at a public park (not the youtube video but I youtubed it once someone told me what it was)....LARPing taking being a geek to a whole new level:

Edit: Along these same lines, I don't think kids get beat up enough in high school anymore.

I'm curious, have any of you found that Starcraft II is not as demanding on your PC/laptop as SystemsRequirementsLab (SRL) says it is?
For example, SRL said that I couldn't run Dragon Age: Origins or Awakening on my laptop and I could run both of those games fine (with the occasional lag). It also says I can't run Starcraft II, but if there's a possibility that I can (similar to DA:O and DA:A), I want to get into it! I'm so jealous of the people enjoying SCII right now! 😳

I LOVED AoE! I was absolutely epic at AoEII. We used to play in my dorm some.
IMO, I don't consider any games that you can't kill 12 year olds on the internet enjoyable. Although, I admittedly loved Bioshock....
And Cod:BO gargles balls. It's only saving grace is zombies. MW2 is waaay better.
Did anyone ever play Ultima Online? I used to play on Atlantic and have yet to meet anyone else that played that game.

I'm a big gamer myself. PC gamer at heart, but I also have a PS3. Its great with its blu ray player and Netflix, but I don't play a lot of games on it.
Until I got Gran Turismo 5, 2 weeks ago. I love cars...
I love the Fallout series, old and new. And can't beat Mass Effect and Dragon Age.

You know, I hear everyone raving about dragon age, but never played it myself... worth a spin?
Also, anyone play runes of magic? That insufferable WoW clone?
I don't think Dragon Age is that good. The story or whatever is fine, but the combat system kind of sucks.

Depends which system you play it on. I heard it sucks on the consoles. I played it on the PC and it played like the old school Baldur's Gate games and World of Warcraft.
I enjoyed the hell out of it. Graphics are great if your PC can handle it. If you have plenty of free time, I say go for it. If not, probably shouldn't. Its a huge game. At least 40 hours without doing everything in the game.

Agreed. Absolutely loved DA:O and DA:A (to a lesser extent)! I think I spent more than 60 hrs on my first playthrough and I'm positive I didn't anywhere near completing everything in the game. Good story, loved the combat (played on PC), etc.
Can't wait for Dragon Age II to come out this March!
