  1. I've never done a timed lap of 270. It's just a name I made up (King of 270) even before CR was around just to get some friendly roll races. Honestly, I would not have had the guts to do a full lap, unless it was with a lot of spotters and a co-pilot. Even then, any clean lap would be pure luck for anyone.

     

     

    Peace

  2. I know some people hate sound-whoring (people that wear gaming headsets) but the fact that you can only hear your own footsteps, unless you have ninja equipped, is downright annoying. Sound cues have been in online gaming for a long time. It seems the only reason to use that perk is just so you can't hear yourself walking. I hope the pro version of the perk changes that.

     

    Peace

  3. I took it back yesterday, and was told I have to wait 7days (Rapid Exchange is what he called it)...wtf? I thought the warranty meant I walked in with defective item, walk out with replacement. I do see a PS3 in my near future.
  4. My barely one year old 360 Elite has the E73 error message (1/4 red ring) I have a best buy warranty (good until 2011) What parts of the 360 need to be taken back for an exchange? I know I keep the hard drive.

     

    thanks

  5. I was living in Vegas when CR started (moved there right after 9/11). The previous tenants of the apartment I lived in had run up a cable bill of over $500. It took me two weeks to prove I was in no way related to them before I could get my cable turned on. I must have watched the movie Snatch (only dvd I owned) around 100 times during that period. Hence: The Pikey was born!

  6. Did the same thing to a Scepter LCD months back..

     

    Do you have the board removed already? How small are the caps? shouldnt be that hard of a job.

     

    I removed the board right after I read up on the symptoms, to see if the capacitors were bulging (found 4). The caps are 1000uf's. They're slightly bigger in physical size than the factory ones, but they will fit.

  7. It's similar, but basically the same concept. The caps I need replaced are bunched a little closer together. I think I could do it, I just dont have a gun. Are the soldering tips interchangeable?

     

    Thanks for the repsonse

  8. Are there any soldering Ninjas in the Dublin area? I need to solder 4 small capacitors to the power board on my Samsung. I don't have a soldering gun, btw. I can't take watching television/gaming in standard def much longer:mad:

     

    Thanks

  9. i really do not want to stand in line with smelly kids to pick up this game on the 10th.. but i did reorder it. should i just wait a couple of days then go? or is there an option to mail it to be delivered by the 10th? anyone know..

     

    Hit up a Wal-Mart or Target, and you will have a copy on the tenth...I can almost guarantee. When Halo 3 came out, I drove right past a crowded GameStop to Wal-Mart and there were like 50 copies there.

     

    Peace
