Thanks Olanov, I appreciate it a lot. (Updating this) My laptop is fine, this explains it: [youtube]

So pretty much something got stuck in my fan or my hard drive glitched out and it's fine now. As for the video, I used "farting" as a way to say temporarily malfunction. I'm so happy I didn't loose my best machine. As for the guy I beat up in the video, I have no clue as to how the hell he spawned in there...

So I did some research on Intel's processors, I was looking for when the Core i series were released when I stumbled across something... Something that just kicked me in the face. "In June 2011, Intel introduced the first Pentium mobile processor based on the Sandy Bridge core. The B940, clocked at 2 GHz, is faster than existing or upcoming mobile Celerons, although it is almost identical to dual-core Celeron CPUs in all other aspects." What I discovered is that my laptop has the Intel Pentium B940, a processor so weak, it was closely compared to the cheap Celerons. Even with 1GB of video memory, I seen gameplay on this processor, it's horrifying. For years I thought that if my laptop had more video memory I would be in a decent position, but no, I've been stuck with the exact equivalent to a Pentium 4 processor at 3.00Ghz.

Let alone this Dell is going to be impossible to sell since the Windows 7 disc that WAS A REAL ONE became "Not genuine". The Amazon seller I bought it from probably mad illegal copies, d$#%head. I think I'm currently screwed harder and worse then I've ever been in a bad position. Dam.

The windows 7 disk is probably a real one. It's just the serial number has been used to many times. If the serial number come with the disk then the seller could have used the serial number after he sent it to you and used it to many times rendering it non-genuine.

Or you could have installed Windows 7 too many times using that serial number in the past.

In both cases you can ring microsoft and they should be able to re-enable the serial number for use if it's been used to many times. Explain to them what is going on and they might be able to do something. I sometimes uses non genuine windows disks with the latest service pack and updates to save installing gigs worth of updates every computer I set up.

The most important thing is that the serial number is genuine and hasn't been used to excessively.

It's illegal to use copies of disks unless your a Microsoft TechNet subscriber, where they give you the latest updated install disks as an iso to burn to cd or usb.

[VAIMAHDO]

Thanks madness, I'll go ahead and contact them. I've used this serial number in 1 time in total. That's why I'm a little confused.

anyway i made this cuz i was bored.




(dis a thumbnail yo)

turbosmooth is awesum!

[VAIMAHDO]

Wtf. Come here outa no where and say "Anyway" lol. Doez polies doe. I may as well join this polygon party so...

nice



i made dis 3 months ago

[VAIMAHDO]

It looks awesome and you have 8507fps with around 4000 polygons? dam. at 4000 faces I have a framerate around 54fps. Another model I can show off is my profile picture. She's a nice model, I have around 12fps with her. She has eyes, low poly hair, razor sharp teeth which have two layers on the top and bottom of her mouth, a tongue, individual fingers and toes, and ah it's pretty obvious. I hate this processor lol.

[Klancnik777]

Dont worry. 1 day you will get a strong computer to make high poly models. its just the matter of time...

[VAIMAHDO]

Ah thanks. And yeah... A LONNNGGG time. 6 years to be exact. It's been six dam years. If I get hired somewhere, then I'll try to get my hands on a Core i7 quad core or an AMD FX 9590 8 core and overclock it to 5Ghz. ah and have a 4GB- 12GB video card for all of my excessive polygon needs and GTA 4 car spam needs.

Guys, it will be soon the 10th anniversary of the release of Driv3r on playstation 2 and xbox.

And also happy birthday Jan

[VAIMAHDO]

Welcome back Fred. And yeah happy birthday Jan

B-day today, D3 anniversary tomorrow, das it mane.
And damn, that sucks. Regarding the screenshots, I used a cam-hack. Thing is awesome.

Well guys, another target specs dump. Here's ANOTHER list of specs I'm trying to go for now. Things aren't working out for me (When have they ever?), most likely I'll be stuck right were I am for ANOTHER 2 dam years or more. Anyway, I'm now going to shoot for, but will most likely fail at getting:
AMD FX 6350 6 core processor at 3.9Ghz
Gigabyte AM3+ AMD DDR3 1333 760G HDMI USB 3.0 Micro ATX Motherboard
Gigabyte GeForce GT 630 2GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 Video card
Kingston Value RAM 4GB 1333MHz PC3-10600 DDR3 Non-ECC CL9 DIMM SR x8 Desktop Memory (Looks like cheap memory from 2004, identical to the one in my GX280)
Antec VP-450 450 Watt Energy Star Certified Power Supply (Never heard of this company but heard positive crap about them)
The rest doesn't matter. I blew the money I had ($41) on some nice Micro ATX case with a fan in the front and USB 2.0 and 3.0. (This case will most likely sit empty for years)
This build is a mess, but if I can build it, I will be freakin happy. So far the place I applied for a job for hasn't contacted me yet (Today is only day 3 though)
I'll most likely not see you guys in a "new" game until GTA 7 comes out. Not trying to be negative all the time but I can't help it. I have nothing positive to show.

My YouTube channel is a joke, I've never gotten it to where I've always wanted it to be, and never had the motivation or technological power to. It's boring, junk, not anything I've ever wanted to make for it. I'm out of ideas what to do to make money, this has been a joke since I even wanted any of this in 2008. Do any of you have any ideas? Or at least any ideas as to how I can freaking smile once in a while and enjoy anything? I wasn't always this negative, and this whole computer thing isn't the entire reason I have permeate dark circles around my eyes and my eyes themselves look vainy and tired and why I'm growing more and more serious and tense. I've had a lot of bad things happen in my life, mostly at a young age.
Sorry for this.

Update:
You know what? I think I'm going to try as hard as I can to stay positive and motivate myself. YTP does make me laugh. I'm going to design a silly animation video of random clips on my current specs. I'm going low on detail as possible. The goal is accuracy on how I model models, and how the animation moves. Visuals aren't a concern in this round. Well here I go, I am expecting to finish a 4 minute video in a few weeks. Let's give it a 3 week goal from this Monday.

10.....years. I remember my 8 year old self 1st playing driv3r and instantly falling in love with Miami...still play it to this day

[madness]

I was patient enough to wait for the PC version of DRIV3R. Which I think took an extra few months to come out. I cannot really remember. I was probably 12 or 13 at the time.

[Skylabh]

...Antec VP-450 450 Watt Energy Star Certified Power Supply (Never heard of this company but heard positive crap about them)...

Well i have a Antec psu for some years now and it's a reliable and more secured hardware than the cheapest no-name power supplies you can find on the market. So no worries about this brand.

[VAIMAHDO]

Thanks Skylabh, at least now I know it's going to be reliable! And the low end animation I'm making is going smoothly.. This is the first time I've actually worked WITH these specs.

GTA IV time.

[pete]

Wow Olanov, that was beautiful!

[max.thunder]

Amazing stuff

[VAIMAHDO]

That was neat!

Also, I've discovered how to texture map, and have been having all kinds of fun with it
I even tried to mess with DRIV3R stuff

I like the result

Thanks I'm also working on a new profile picture. This whole "Being stuck in 2004" thing was a journey. I never really knew it until last night. It was journey to turn me into an optimizing king, and that with any system, something can be achieved. Although I have discovered much more like simply texture mapping, I cannot think of all of the things. So anyway, I have been working on a new profile picture, and now that I have the ability to texture map, I now can get away with things I normally couldn't with these weak parts and long dead processor architecture. I was able to simulate skinny jeans, (Although is noticeably outdated, good enough for the technology I have). I actually made the jeans texture, I took the pictures myself, and stuffed crap in the back of the jeans so the final texture will position and shade correctly. If I didn't do that, it would feel flat. I've also just seen Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.00, 2.00, 3.00, 4.00 and 5.00 and realized I'm lucky with the technology I currently have. As neat and advanced for it's time it is, being stuck with a giant PS1 with a keyboard would suck. But if it was 1980-1995 it would be fine. I could not live in those times for one reason; I wouldn't even be able to make things half as realistic as I am limited to now. Anyway. Stuff.

Hey, Dark. Is that Raven from Twisted Metal?
