    pretty cool service back in the day. No frills chat app. I personally still like using teamspeak for chat/voice with some of my gaming buddies. Discord has a bunch of twitch fanbois.

    I still remember my ICQ number, even though I haven't used it in a very long time.

    So I changed my gaming rig... Cuz space and all. In all reality though this little thing actually runs overwatch, fortnite, and some other stuff pretty well. Had a mid atx monster but my space in the house is limited.

    I can now more easily nerd out. Titanfall mech too because giant robots are awesome.

    Not a downgrade in performance? Your old rig looks really nice

    I have a motherboard but I think I might have messed up the pins where the processor goes. Does Anybody know what I can do with it?

    Yeah. I really enjoyed the older rig. This little guy doesn't match the performance but fortunately has a decent dedicated Gpu. It's an i7 8809+AMD Vega mx GH card (about a gtx 1060 equivalent overclocked). So far I've been pretty happy with it but still messing with some other games to really Guage performance.

    You might be able to still sell it as-is for parts. Some people rebuild and need some of the older stuff. Check out reddit hardware swap.

    Titanfall is the only reason I got an Xbox to begin with. I love both of those games.

    And yes, giant robots are awesome.

    All of the things in this picture are fucking on point. 10/10. I really enjoyed Titanfall, it's a shame that the games didn't retain the community. I also enjoyed the shit out of crysis multiplayer. Using an anti-matter tank in the mesa map was great.

    Same on the dust + doghair for me too. I need to figure out something because an hour after cleaning my stuff...POOF dog hair.

    I run off of caffeine, dog fur, and cuss words.

    I have 5 dogs. So yea, I feel you with the dog hair on everything no matter how much I clean.

    My office is nothing but anime, toys, computers, random shit I'm fixing for people. I took it all down for about 2 weeks and was so bored sitting in here for hours on in with nothing to look at. I get stuck on long meetings I'll make some cool fight scenes out of all the Gundam's and Transformers.

    I haven't played Titanfall 1 in a long time. Last time I did it said there was around 1400 people playing globally and it took forever to get a match going. Sad. Great game. Titanfall 2 just doesn't do it for me like 1 did but I still love it. Jumping around, giant Mech's, I just can't help but enjoy it.

    kudos to you sir. I have one and can't imagine 5, i'm sure they are all awesome though. my pooch is my wingman.

    My office is basically the same. I work remote 100% and i need something besides just my work computer and notepads on my desk. Plus I like drowning my ears out in anime on the side.

    Yeah, TF1 combat was just a bit better. I liked the titan customization, I really play 2 just because there's still a few people left. Got back into an MMO recently though.. no bueno.

    @Aw9d hey man so here's the settings that the amp is at. It was working yesterday and this morning fine, but on my way home today from work there's was very little sound coming out of the sub. IMG_20180522_144339273.jpg

    No, I honestly didn't think of that cause nothing really touches them. But in the picture they look extremely dirty. Might be time to change them. I forgot you were an audiophile too!

    They could have been damaged at some point. Just though it might be a good place to start. What kind of head unit do you have? Just trying to think of everything. I would double check your ground as well.

    I have a Sony xav-ax100
    I'll have to double check the wattage on the amp but it's a kicker, and then I have a kicker comp c in a ported box. Could the ground being dirty have anything to do with it?

    I honestly would have to look again. I didn't install, I had it professionally done. I know theres a ground under the hood and a ground under the carpet in the driver's side. He stripped the paint with a wire brush too.
