Ye olde days of the Mac vs. PC days are making a return! The PCs vs the Macs in an all out war to see which side has the better players.

In previous years, the PC side did not have enough people to achieve a victory! At times, only a few dared show their face against the might of the assembled Mac players. These brave souls fought, but obviously they did not prevail.

Despite these crushing losses, the PC side has reawakened on MPCGamers! They are now represented well in the ranks, and it is time for the first battle to determine the true masters of SWBF.

So, are you ready to represent your platform? Will you dare join the armies and face the opposing team? Will you be a part of PLATFORM WARS REDUX?

DATE OF THE BATTLE: August 1st, 2009

TIME OF THE BATTLE: 8:00 PM EST

LOCATION OF THE BATTLE: Led/Buckler's Direct Connection server- 68.62.133.116

LOCATIONS OF THE FIGHTING: BESPIN: CLOUD CITY, THE MAZE (maz1), DEATH STAR (dea1), TATOOINE: JABBA'S PALACE, ARMCHAIR ASSAULT (aa)

Will you attend? Will you help your platform achieve victory?

welcome back

So recently, my computer has been losing video during games- it happens usually after an hour or so of extended play. I can still hear things, the computer is still on, and the video card is still running- there just isn't anything on the screen.

I'm thinking that it's a problem with the card alone, but I'm not sure how to fix the issue. Obviously, I could just get another card, but I'm not sure what the best I can buy for this old system will be. I guess another solution is to place a fan on it at all times, but it's rather unsightly to just leave the side off all the time.

Perhaps it isn't a GFX problem at all though, and is rather a PSU problem or something similar.

Thoughts?

Sure, I'll try it out!

Looks pretty impressive so far.

We don't have any old MPC forums

Anyway, I believe BD was working on one a long time ago. You may want to talk to him.

moved to Requests, btw

Napseeker, you fail to amaze me.

Awfully rude, isn't it? If you're going to criticize, some comments would certainly be more helpful than just saying, "this sucks."

Rhino- click Free User on the first page, wait a minute or so, then click the Download Now button that appears.

Nice to see you back again, Zak

FF Network is broken at the moment. It'll eventually be back up.

You could always just make server-side versions of the maps that allowed only what you wanted to allow. This would resolve some aspects of the rules problem.

Sounds interesting. I might be up for this.

wb man!

Looks nice. Mind me asking what type of shotgun it'll be? I'm looking for a shotgun model and haven't been able to find a suitable one :/

It's not really the computers themselves that matter, it's the parts in them.

I can't tell which specific builds you're referring to. Can you be more specific?

Mac Pro =/ Macbook Pro

Mac Pros are the towers. Macbook Pros are laptops.

It's not really your platform that matters in terms of graphics. In terms of price, PCs are infinitely better than Macs. You can get a PC that runs every single game out there at high settings for several hundred dollars less than a Mac.

No, most PCs do not come with a monitor. You have to buy one. They're about 200 dollars, depending on type, manufacturer, and size.

Weili got sick of handling it after it crashed again, so he told me to take it and I did.
