I think he was referring to your english, specifically your word "furnished".

Not bad. I managed to buy a used 1.5 TB hard drive for $70, the only drawback being that it's only 5400 RPM. Still, my computer isn't that great (still using 3 GB DDR2 RAM and a Phenom X4 9650 2.3 GHz processor), so I don't think there will be a noticeable performance difference.

I am much more interested in computer peripherals than upgrading my tower, as I only play DotA or Counter-Strike 1.6 most of the time. I can run and play DotA 2, but it feels like having to learn the game all over again and I can't be bothered to do that

Night1301 · 02-15-2012, 08:42 PM

The feel of DotA 2 is the same, its just that the heroes that are available are more of competitive heroes pool.

yeah, its funny cause he doesn't speak english that well too and has the shame to correct someone, let alone laughing at correct grammar. Quite ironic and stupid at the same time.

Not even. I tried playing a few games with bots just to get the feel of the new UI, and I immediately realized that it was going to be like learning DotA all over again, so I was discouraged.

K a z e · 02-16-2012, 06:09 AM

Relearn it? It's not like much of the hero skills have changed....at all....lol

While you think its re-learning, its not, its an adjustment, the whole concept-wise, and playstyle is completely the same, what differs is just the shop, that is all.

Ordered the Asus VX7SX Lamborghini Series.

Night1301 · 02-24-2012, 04:32 AM

^Yeah, sure, looks cool and all that, but you could've save at least 600-800$ if you get the same specs on Asus G74 series.

syabilng · 02-24-2012, 05:40 AM

Waiting for G75. My brother is using G74. Trying their other series for fun.

I just admire the carbon fibre design and leather 'interior'. Haha.

K a z e · 02-28-2012, 04:41 PM

Bought a few things. Got a new desktop mic, a new phone (Samsung Galaxy S II) and just bought another SSD for my rig. Already have one but the deal was too good to pass up at $1 per 1GB price point.

K a z e · 03-08-2012, 04:11 AM

New crap : Samsung Galaxy S II, Samsung 27" LED monitor (2ms, 1920x1080), Some Mic from Amazon, A banana holder that I use for my headphones lol
