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 I think we all have some old connections to plan something ahead of time, on an updated game, or even outdated, for all of us to do an event on.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

 sup guys. Happy Turkey day and all that. So I'm looking to upgrade my dinosaur PC and with all those Black Friday deals out there how can i resist. If any of you happen to pass by the Tank and are willing to give me some advice on what/where to buy that'd be pretty cool. Mostly looking to upgrade my CPU and MB if necessary. Thanks in advance

here's my specs:

tower

 fairly good choice, I would buy upgraded ram as well. Even 4gb of faster ram will make a huge difference and you can do it for way cheap.

 ^ not mainstream until next spring though. DDR4 comes out for servers and shit but consumer motherboards wont support them until next gen processors.

 yeah if you base that solely on that techradar post from september that shows up 2nd when you google ddr4.


crucial has 16 gig 220-pin sticks coming out first quarter 2014.
I always had to upgrade my motherboard when getting new ram, but sometimes the cpu can be compatible, for example am2/am2+/am3 motherboards. We may not evem have to upgrade our motherboards with all these crazy technomalogical advances and shit
