Oh I'm so down. I still play zombie escape sometimes on CS:S. Never gets old. So down for Office.

Also 15 years for me. Fuck man we are getting old as shit.

Also, loving Back 4 Blood. Highly recommend to everyone who enjoys coop zombie action. I play on steam. gLiTch handle was retired with FT. You can find me as theRemedy on Steam friends.

Super down for a rerun. I think we all have some old connections to plan something ahead of time, on an updated game, or even outdated, for all of us to do an event on. I would look forward to that very much

 My computer keeps making this loud clicking noise and I'm pretty sure it's coming from the PSU. The noise started about a month ago. Anyone know what it is or how to fix it?

 The only thing that can really make that kind of noise is your Hard Drive. I suggest you back-up anything vital, it might crash any moment and you don't wanna pay some asshole hundreds to recover things from it after it breaks.

 why would my harddrive make a clicking noise? it doesn't have anything that spins and this noise sounds like a playing card stuck between the spokes of a bike wheel

i forgot to mention that the noise only starts when i TURN ON my computer and after a few minutes it goes away

 Could be a fan, like a wire hitting a case fan? Happened to me before.

My harddrive actually operates in an alternate dimension to allocate data.

um, on another drive? hard drives are relatively inexpensive these days. i have 6 TB worth of external drives alone, not to mention 2 TB in my desktop, 500 GB in my laptop and the countless random thumb drives I have. 1 TB is nothing man
