also,
if you can't grasp the effect of an mtg card after the tenth turn it has been in play and after i explain it five times and after you look at said card countless times yourself, it is not my fault if you assume wrongly that it does something else.
and
I have five enchantments and five clerics. Declare your attack, pay mana cost for Sphere of Safety. Then proceed to pay cost for creature targeted by Whipgrass Entangler. There is a method to this. It is not cheating on my part if you get confused. It is not cheating on my part if you can't keep track of your mana pool. I am being no more of a douchenozzle than you were for using a black/red deck specifically designed to beat me. I have also been playing this game since 2004, so I do in fact know that using an ability with a tap cost does not count as an attack.
despain please help

GUYS!
THIS MIGHT BE THE ONLY CHANCE I HAVE TO SEE YOU IN MY LIFE TIME (IF YOU ARE A BRIT)
IM GOING TO THE UK ON A DIPLOMATIC MISSION FROM THE 30TH TO THE 7TH.
IF YOU WILL BE IN THE AREA OF colchester (? OR HOWEVER ITS SPELLED IF YOU CAN FIND ME IN 3 PARA 16TH BDE) THEN PLEASE LET ME KNOW!
Seriously, I will be in the UK in about two weeks for a week. I would love to see Amy and Felix, and anyone else who is in the area. I will let you know more tomorrow. Please let me know if your interested!!! I would love to hang out. I will be bringing a lot of smokes because I hear they are pricey over yonder. SIDE NOTE: is there anything else you need brought over (reasonably)?
ARE YOU EXCITED? YEA OR NEIGH!!!?'
PS spoo MTG people who dont understand the rules need it barney style....you know that! try explaining +1/+1 on all artifacts to a merfolk deck douche (ps I haven't played in a while but still fun. fav card is Atog still.)

The PC parts are chosen.
I want to try and be economical about this so I don't spend three paychecks on a PC but it's still gonna cost a good chunk. I rarely see the i7-4790 go on sale so that's definitely gonna cost me. I'm sure I can catch the GTX 980 on sale. It doesn't have to be EVGA necessarily but I always hear good things about them. Smaller PSU maybe?
I could save a ton if I wait until Black Friday/Cyber Monday this year but I'm not sure I have that kind of patience.

You'll get similar performance to my beast machine on single GPU context and you're paying a little over half the price of my machine; I like the look of that build.Spoo":2pdv2xz9 said:
Just a warning on SSDs, not sure if this is your first SSD build, but for me I have a 250GB SSD and I have the OS on there, a web browser, essential tools and CSGO, I've used up 120GB of it already, so I'd expect you to fill it up very quickly with just an OS on it.
I went from 1TB drive in my last PC to 3TB in this one, I remember getting the 1TB drive thinking "I managed fine with 500GB, 1TB will be plenty!" and it turns out 1TB is not plenty, so I skipped the 2TB mark and went straight for 3TB mass storage.
I think you should prioritise boosting that SSD capacity if you were to make changes. What kind of stuff will you do on the SSD? Will you be strictly OS or will browser and tools go on there?

ok update on all this stuff...
I'm coming into london sunday and going to colchester to stay in a hotel. We are working with a netops group out of a base nearby and the barracks for the unit we are working with are right next to colchester.
I essentially can do whatever I want pending the hard times I have to be at work and meetings.
If anyone wants to meet up, please let me know. We should be travelling around a bit during the nights, so if you are out and about and want to grab a drink or whatever text me at 607-591-6363.
If you don't, that sucks. This might be the only chance I get to come over here for a long while.
This is a very interesting question, I've been doing some looking into disk IO stuff recently because this current PC is my first SSD so I can experiment on a few new ideas.Spoo":1e0rijzk said:
Disk is there for load-times (has zero impact on run-time performance), an SSD will always load faster regardless of what is on it due to the lack of having to physically move a head and spin a disc around, so don't worry about load times being longer.
SSDs only affect performance of games that stream content, and if they're streaming content there won't be any slow-down anyway (streaming should be non-blocking if it wasn't implemented by a really shitty programmer), so games like Rage or Wolfenstein New Order and GTA V and old Unreal Engine 3.0 games will stream textures in a lot quicker on an SSD, so less texture "pop" when new textures appear, this isn't a performance related factor though so you should be fine.
But here's the interesting part; do you actually need to transfer your Steam games to SSD via a tool every time you load them?
If your OS is on the SSD, all OS disk operations (there are constant disk operations) will now be isolated on that drive, so they don't affect the seeking of the other drives, so that means the drive your game is on now has its own dedicated hard-disk with its own dedicated read/write head to spin around, so as long as fragmentation is low (Steam even has a defrag option specifically for these cases) your game should have pretty darn good load-times even on the mass storage drive purely because the OS is not on that drive.
This is mostly "in theory", in practise you'll most likely get entirely different results, but I was considering using software to move my games to SSD when I want to run them (I think you'll need a 250GB SSD if you want to do that btw) but I tested out load-times with them being on dedicated mass storage and it was fast enough to make me change my mind.
Injury my concern is that you'll be busy most of those days so finding time for a meetup might be troublesome. If you were in London then jeez I could just pop out whenever, but Colchester is far enough for me to need to plan a couple days around it. It would be cool to just meet and go to a pub somewhere. Maybe stare each other in the eyes and compliment each other on our good looks and lovely accents.
And netops? I think of network operations :V

yup pretty much! satcom and networking stuff.
PM me your digits so I can text you times I'm free. Quite honestly my boss is going to be the busiest, I'm just there to learn their capabilities for integration radio wise. Other than that, some higher ups are going to take us around to see the sights and whatnot. We will be in London a few times during the week I'm sure.
Fuck. I just signed a new job and will be on bolster then but I will try and be available! I'm not quite sure how bolster's going to pan out to be honest. I mean I might be able to pop to London for a day which would be cool, but I couldn't know what day that would be in advance. I'm not sure I'm going to be particularly useful to you.
