The titanium cane isn't slowing "cool man" vettie down one bit  . Hot neighbour woman and a hot computer store woman, I salute you good sir <S>.
LOL I dont "use" the cane all the time, just when i am hurting a lot OR have lots or walking to do, or kids to smack around  Gotta say never cared much for Blondes, I always liked red haired or dark haired ladies, but Heather might change my mind for an hour or 2

Ok, so the search is complete.
I went to the local store today to sang the 100$ deal as it seemed to be my best buy for the $.
I get there and ask for the pretty little lady that had helped me before. Heather comes from the office area looking really sweet.
She turns red. Then she says. "You're gonna hate me. I know I told you on the phone we still had that monitor, but..."
I said "But you sold it, right?"
"Yeah, I am sorry..." she says with those pouty lil lips and those nice boobs staring me in the face...
I said "But Heather, I just called less than an hour ago." But I was thinking how good she would look goin down on me.
She says "wait right there". and she bounced back off to the office. I see her talking with some old fuck and they both come out.
The guy says "Hi, I am" whatever the fuck he said his name was cause I was still staring at Heather and not really listening to him until he said
"I can let you have a new one for the same price since we sort of screwed up."
I said "A new one for 100$ with warranty and all?"
He said "Yes sir."
I pulled out my wallet and handed them a Benjamin Franklin and waited why they wrote up the deal / info.
Then Heather says "But its gonna cost you a little more."
I said "What? How MUCH more?"
She says "Dinner and maybe a movie or something."
So I walk out with a new monitor and next week, Heather and I will be going to dinner...
Oh, the monitor? Its a ViewSonic 22", 30k (3000 to 1 contrast ratio), 5ms gray to gray response time, 2 year warranty.
Its nice. Really nice

Yeah MOST, not all, but most built speakers on a monitor suck. IF youi dont have anything, then its not so bad, but separate speakers are the way to go.
On my system, I have a creative X-Fi Xtreme Music Card that I bought long ago and keep moving it from system to upgraded system.
I was looking at a Xonar Card from Asus, but I got this one to work in Win 7.
Prolly the last year for it. They discontinued this model some time ago, but it frickin rocks for music.
I have a Logitec 4.1 sound system that came with 4 speakers (that sound pretty awesome) and a 12" sub woofer that will knock you down.
Being that I am a part owner in a music store, we gets lots of pro equipment in on trades (as well as cheap stuff, lol)
I traded an Alesis equalizer for a portable mixing station and in return I got a pair of Bose Pro Studio Monitors (Studio 301's).
These lil rascals are only about 10 to 12" tall, but OMG do they sound awesome. they are incredible. They sell for about 300 to 400$ ea.
So I thought, hmmm, I wonder if they will work with my PC? I brought them home and hooked them up.
THe lil Logitech sound thing is 100w per channel, but the Bose are rated for 250w so I figure they good on power.
I cranked up the PC and put on some FLAC files (rarely use MP3, FLAC is cleaner and less compression).
HOLY SHIT. I had to turn the thing down to 2 (out of 10 altho my amps go to 11) just to hear anything other than music blasting.
I normally ran the setup at 4.
The lil Bose have a new home now. Nestled nicely on each corner of my (big) desk about 6' apart slightly angled toward center.
Let me tell you, when an Atlas comes stomping, it COMES STOMPING. I wish I had 2 more of these to complete the surround type sound.
My Logitech controller will let me simulate surround sound, but its not the same.
So I will prolly snag the Viewsonic today or tomorrow. I am traveling to Huntsville later today.
I am going to look at what they have and see if there are any good 'open box' deals or 'sales'.
I do have a 42" flat screen with HDMI and 1080p I could try but it too frickin big, lol

For the record, I'm playing on an old CRT 14-16 inch(on the diagonal) gateway monitor that came with some old intel celeron from like 15 years ago. The top centimeter or so is like "peeled" downwards in lines that overlap the top inch whee the picture starts.
TBH I need to get a new TV too, I still have this old phillips non HD job. It's 26" on the diagonal, and has good sound, and had good video for the N64/PS2/Game Cube era, but having to use this stupid converter box is getting to me. Also lately, the picture seems to just go out. The power will still be on and if I switch the channels it will come back, and if I sit there and mash the channel flip for about 5 minutes or so it will stay on, like it has to warm up for the picture to stay on, but sometimes it will just randomly go dark.... and I'll have to hit the recall button for awhile again...
Bottom line, Can I kill 2 birds with 1 stone here? Get a TV/Monitor type thing, or do they not do that yet?
Yep http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824002779

Here is another couple options. I am trying to save you money.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009408
I have a 26" version of the Acer and it rocks!
I appreciate the cost watch Smag Thing is, I have less then 200$ I can do. As far as a refurb monitor - the only thing's' that be fixed are - the screen replaced, the power supply - replaced - the power switch - replaced. Unless it has speakers ( i dont care about speakers either way). I found a nice Viewsonic locally for about 100$ Its a 23" with a 5ms gray to gray response and a 1000 to 1 ratio contrast. Pretty nice...but it is used. The place has in store warranty for 1yr even if I just dont like it, they will refund. So I am heavily considering it, but I want new, wah, whine, wah, whine, lol

A 425 Meg patch?
Does this happen a lot?
LOL They added the Spider (3 mech variants) plus a new camo pattern. To answer your question, no, the patches are not always that big. Usually 100 to 200 megs for a good sized patch. Some smaller ones get shoved out now and then and then you get a big one like this

Simple matter.
Ask John, George, Ringo or Paul
MP4 was finished. Minor details were all that were incomplete. It was a working model plus LOTS of mechs.
Jeho suffered a stroke. His house burned. [THEY] let that be the fall guy. Paraphrasing '''[We cant finish MP4 because it was Jeho's work...When and if he recovers and feels like finishing...it might be relased...]
There is some truth to that, but for the most part, all they needed to do was release it and then patch any major issues.
Instead, they quit. They have their eye in sky for / with another bunch and are working on a new project due out in Feb 2k13.
If you were a donator - they took your money and bought lots of computers and hardware, not so they could support MW4Mercs, so they could start up this new venture.
Its really a shame. It wasnt an overnite deal either, this has been going on for some time. I know that MP4 was playable over a year ago, but they never released it, POSSIBLY in hopes of raising more cash to do what they are now doing.
I just shake my head. they guys that did a lot of work, other than Jeho, well i wish them well and I hope that the crew over there do not forget the guys that helped get them where they are and where they hope to be going. There were several people involved in crafting MP3 and MP4 in addition to Jeho, while he did most of the coding and correcting, there were artists and on and on.
I could go on and on about it, but it just raises my blood pressure and I just want to, arrrg, never mind...
EDIT: This is WORSE that McDonalds charging .25$ for extra syrup. MUCH WORSE. At least the crew at MWO is straight up about why they want your money...

Sadly disappointed in MekTek.
Sadly. So much so, I have lost respect for them.
They made promises and did not follow through.
Jeho was a great guy. HIM, I have respect for. I completely understand what happened with him and the things he went through.
That being said, SOMEONE at MekTek, Vince, Whitey, one of you guys, should have picked up the torch and finished what was already there.
You guys had / have your eye on the big $ sign in the sky and did not focus on the what you already told the community you would do. A complete lack of follow through. A 'dis' to all the followers and people, like myself, that donated to you over the years.
Now you are off to pursue something that you hope will bring you lots of money while you never finished what you started, of if you did finish it, you never gave it to the ones that supported you. Why should we follow your latest? Your performance shows that it will end in disappointment for the followers, the fans, the supporters.
Sad. I was was a big supporter, I defended you guys on my blog, on forums, in game, with cash, and, well, I was left out in the cold.
Changing the name, or becoming partners with another studio wont hide who you really are.
At this point, all I can say is that IF I am ever asked, I will speak the truth. This door is shut. Chapter closed.
One more thing, the NDA you had us sign, well that expired. Good Luck on trying to enforce it.
Yes, fellow MechWarriors, I said when i read about MekTek giving up support for MW4 that it was a sad day. After doing some research. Looking around, it doesnt take much to figure out what the guys are up to. I CONTINUE to wish Jeho well and hope things return to normal for him. The rest of the crew there? Pfffttt... Yes, this day may even be sadder than the announcement that they would no longer support MW4. Why? It is the day I lost respect for the MekTek Team, not all of them, but for the most part, well, just never mind... Not worth my time or trouble any more...
