I used to post Let's Plays quite a bit from my old house. But, since I've moved, it's been hard to get the right setup. Can anypony give me some suggestions? I live in Florida, so I have a fan running constantly. The problem is, it gets picked up by the microphone. And my bedroom is fairly small, so I don't have much space to move stuff around. I guess what I need is for my voice to be clear, without the game audio interfering.

WARNING! THE FOLLOWING CONTENT IS VERY PICTURE HEAVY. THOSE ON MOBILE OR WITH A SLOW CONNECTION/COMPUTER STAY AWAY! So here it is, the moment you've all been waiting for, the big show, the main event, THE BUILD LOG! Let's start from the top: The gang's all here! What good is a bunch of computer parts if you have no case to put them in? The chassis is a Corsair C70 Vengeance in matte black. It's a mid-tower ATX case with a good feature set and an awesome aesthetic. It's kind of reminiscent of an ammo box or a military radio of some sort. I figured it was appropriate since I play mostly FPS games Interior of the case with DVD drive already installed. There were originally fans mounted to the drive cages, but I moved them forward into the front grille area of the chassis to improve GPU clearance and because I was going to pull one of the drive cages anyway. Pulled the top HDD cage to improve airflow. Laying out components and tools for next set of installs. Corsair H100i 240mm radiator with dual 120mm fans. I decided to install the H100i first because it required me to screw it into the chassis. I figured it would be easier to bolt it in first and then mount the pump block rather than mounting the pump block to the CPU+motherboard and then attempting to maneuver the most awkward set of nunchucks ever. AX860i installed and H100i temporarily routed to the back so I can handle other things. Are you ready to manage some cables? I am! Preliminary cable management. I've selected the necessary cables and routed them through the closest grommets. In hindsight I probably should have plugged in the cables first before routing them, but it worked out just as well. Maximus VII Hero. I would have gone with the Formula, but the Z97 version won't be releasing for a while longer and it would be $100 more. Performance-wise, the Hero is almost as good; but I still find I'm a sucker for that thermal armor. 4790K installed. I always get nervous when plugging in CPUs because it feels like I'm going to break them when latching the CPU lock. Motherboard installed and cables sort of routed. Still need to install the pump block and connect all appropriate headers. H100i pump block installed. What you didn't see was me messing up the installation because I thought I'd forgotten to remove a plastic cover that ended up not being there in the first place. Thankfully, I remembered to pick up an extra tube of thermal paste. Reseating was inconvenient, but in the end inconsequential. ATX power cables connected and GPU PCIE cables routed through the proper grommets. RAM DIMMs installed in dual-channel mode. Fan cables and front panel headers connected to motherboard. One thing I found pretty cool was that the Hero has all PWM fan headers. Only my radiator fans are PWM right now, but that might change in the future. (I've since added two more DIMMs, bringing my RAM total to 16GB of G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 @ 2133MHz - XMP is a beautiful thing) ARE YOU READY TO TEAR THE FACE OFF EVERY GAME EVER? GTX 780 IS! Bonus picture of girlfriend. GPU and wireless-AC card installed. Because of the layout of my house, I have to use wifi. I figured that since we have a wireless-AC router, I may as well go all out. Cable routing has been optimized a bit and SATA power and data cables have been routed to the drive cages in preparation for drive installation (at that point, I hadn't yanked my drives from my old rig yet). I am currently running a Samsung 840 EVO 256GB SSD and a WD Black 2TB mass storage drive. The complete package ready for a test drive! First boot! It's so beautiful... Now for some bling! Asus ROG front panel installed. It provides a fan controller hub and color LCD display for CPU clock speed, fan RPMs, and temps. It also looks super cool. Kind of reminds me of a military radio of some sort. Anyway, that's my new computer! Hope you guys enjoyed!

I've been trading these Steam cards for a little while and reading the questions about frequency of drops* combined with the amount of cards stagnating in my own inventory, on the market etc I started thinking. These cards need to be moving and being crafted rather than being saved and sitting around! Onto my grand experiment to get some badges crafted and more cards circulating! I'll list a set of games that are 'Keeps' for me and these are the ones I'm building. I want cards for these games and will trade 1 for 1 with any other cards I have. Even if those cards are singles! If you have trouble getting finding my Steam, communicate through PM please. It will be nice to try to keep this thread tidy for people who wish to put their name up for others (i.e. not just friending me) and expand the experiment if they're interested. With a view to tidiness, if this works out I will edit this post rather than sticking things at the end. Smoothie Lyra don't care KEEPS: Don't Starve, Castle Storm, Dust: An Elysian Tale, Company of Heroes 2, Orcs must Die 2, Shadowrun Returns. Other questions you may have: * Booster packs are granted randomly to eligible users as more badges are crafted by members of the community.

What happens when Ponies enter the mass effect universe? N7 mission case-file: Firebase Giant, is THE RP TO JOIN to find out. To join you just have to give a quick summary of what your character will be playing as. use this mini template, Name: Gender: Pony race: Non-pony race: (your character will be half pony and half what ever Mass Effect race you choose) Mass Effect class: (just like in the games everypony make it match your races, only unicorns and alicorns can be biotics users but i will limit the number of alicorns in the rp, they will also be nerfed so they dont become all powerfull, so if you want to be an alicorn PM me before posting here) What they were doing before being sucked into the mass effect universe: Now to show you how it works, Name:Lightning Shadow Gender:Stallion Pony race:Alicorn Non-pony race: Geth Mass Effect class: Sentinal What they were doing before being sucked into the mass effect universe: He was studying a new form of magic and something went wrong in the process. He was ripped from his home after fixing what had gone wrong, he has no connection to the events that transported him and others to this new universe. Now remember that your character has no armor or weapons when they join in, and i will be playing all NPC characters. No god modding, no killing other players unless given permission, and let the fun begin, any questions should be directed to me. -
Mass Effect Echoes: A MLP crossover RP Two years have passed since the defeat of the Reapers. The galaxy is a war-torn ruin – with every species still mourning for deaths beyond count and lost homes. A huge multi-species effort has been launched to rebuild that which was destroyed in the Reaper War. Mass Relays are being reconnected to the network; ruined home worlds are being rebuilt, colonies – some untouched by the war – are experiencing huge influxes of trade and refugees; developing into cities to rival some of the greatest pre-war foundations. But while the galaxy licks its wounds and prepares for a brighter tomorrow, those in a position of power know how fragile peace is. The Citadel still floats in Earth space – a dead station that stands as a morbid reminder of the price of victory, the new council are struggling to maintain peace. There are rumors being whispered in the darker corners of the galaxy. Stories of disappearing ships and missing space stations. Despite the best efforts of the council to dispel the rumors by blaming pirates and faulty navigation equipment - even they fear the worst. The Reapers are coming back. -- ------------------------------------------ Mass Effect: Echoes will be a slow and serious RP, with a focus on storytelling. Posts are expected to be descriptive, with sufficient scene building, setting explanation and thought out dialogue and emotions. Players are expected to work together - using their characters as tools to assist in telling the story, creating and reacting to conflict and building relationships with others. When writing players should keep in character - show, don't tell. And while you can express inner thoughts and emotions, other characters don't know anything that is not said. it is recommended that players stay in constant contact with others, using either Skype or the Canterlot PM system. Using Gdocs to write scenes together is also recommended but not compulsory. As a more story-based RP, players are not expected to maintain stats or any kind of RPG-centric number management. Players are however, expected to react to situations realistically. The Rules You may have up to two characters. Both however, will require separate applications. Make sure you use both evenly. You may talk to other players about the story, and brainstorm ideas and execute them. But please keep it reasonable. No threatening the world or causing anything that can alter the path of the RP on a large scale. There will be no turn order, so don't be a glory hog. This is a team effort, and a good player shares the limelight. Everyone will get the chance to shine. Keep combat realistic. No, you're not capable of killing twelve mercs single handedly with a pistol. You may NOT maim or injure another players character without that players permission. Everyone's characters are expected to take a realistic amount of punishment from combat scenarios however - there's a doctor on the ship so don't worry about getting hurt! If you have any questions, feel free to raise them below. i will be posting more information about the various races/classes/combat soon, once I have it all nailed down. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE CHARACTER REFERENCE SHEET - For all information regarding the players and characters within this RP. THE FAQ - For all your questions. And possibly answers. THE ACTUAL RP - For your actual RP.

Ok, so i've had this idea for a while to do a Halo Rp with ponies, cause ponies make everything better. So, here is basically a thing to see if i should make it or it. The basic idea will be ponies get sucked into a gravitional portal opened, either intentionally or accidentlally, and are sucked into the Halo world. From there, they have to meet up (I'll go into detail for those who are interested) and, well, it'll take a while for me to type up the actual plot, but they meet up, and after winning the battle, they find another inter-dimentional portal to bring them home. Anyway, if anyone is interested, just leave a thing here. And even if only one person is interested, i'll be able to do that, the more the better, but yeah. Cheers

So I was wondering if anyone on the forums will be making their way to A&G this year? Its my first convention to be honest and if anyone was planning on being there i thought it would be cool to hang out or at least say hello. Granted its not the biggest con and im not sure if it showcases pony fandom much but i know of a couple groups that fly the MLP: FiM flag that plan on making an appearance. So anywho anyone have plans on going?

Greetings helpstaff, moderators, and possibly moderators! It's me again, with yet another 'questionable' topic in the seemingly endless barrage of questions of curiosity! I was just wondering about the idea of the 'Let's Play', i.e. those videos that we all know of where there's some random person talking into a handy dandy microphone while they play theirs, and possibly others' favorite video games(I wonder if that could also work with board games...). I've been thinking about starting up one of those, but I can't help but feel very nervous of the kinds of games I play. My ideas for gameplay videos are things such as Doom/Heretic/Hexen, Quake, and oldies like that. Maybe even MDK and Mirror's Edge as a nod to modern gamers... and I also know that these games, at least some of them, have a feature where you can switch off the blood and gore and such(some of them have swearing in them, but I'll be sure to edit that out). Some others, like the 1997 made MDK, it doesn't even look like blood. Just green little flakes flying off of polygon made aliens, and that never grossed me out even as a little boy... if anything, it was quite amusing. Anyway, that's pretty much my point of interest here, would it be alright if I posted 'Let's Plays' of these kinds of games?

So what gaming systems do you guys play on? I play mainly on the computer, but I also have a DS, a PSP, and a Wii. Let us see what system most people play games on... -
Hey guys, Conor Colton here. Just wanted to share with you guys what has been probably the greatest weekend of my life. I'll get straight to the point and say, I attended my first con, Q-Con, a gaming and anime convention held every year over here. At first, I wasn't that excited for it, my friend who convinced me to go was practically jumping about with excitement the week leading up to it and I was just...normal, I guess. But when we got there, the irony was was that I was enjoying it more than she was. I was practically buzzing the entire three days the con was running, and I got to experience something I never thought I ever would...Other bronies, almost everywhere! And I don't know, the place just had an uplifting feeling about it, everybody was friendly, funny, and easy going. I mention easy going since I have a little pic to share with you guys... Big brony and pegasister group photo!...And there's me...looking plain...with no costume...and I'm pretty sure my eyes are closed And finally, something that I got to mark the occasion and is proudly framed... Pony swag! I can't remember the name of the talented individual who drew me as a pony, but rest assured, I didn't draw this and all credit goes to her...whoever she was And that's pretty much it really, and to make you guys feel that this wasn't a complete waste of your time looking at this, I'll leave you guys with a question... How was your first con?
