I�M FUCKING PORTUGUESE...

Should have be writen: "I'm a fucked Portuguese"... So I guess you don't have a big dick, you damned pretentious, but the guy in your back certainly... ouch :P 

...lol...

!
/8\ eat this! 

anyway less crap, and more mapping!

me goes map!

i�m kind of late :( and i hate to miss the deadlines in everything in life! 

thought to be clever cleaning the fan of my cpu.
so I screwed the handles aside, ,thinking the handles were of the fan, made a clean up with the vacuum cleaner but I end up with a black screen.
computer seems fine but i might have lifted the cpu.

port u goose 

Do I understand you correctly? You cleaned your computer with a vacuum cleaner? That's a painfully bad idea - the static electricity generated by the vacuum will fry components easily. Use a can of compressed air. 

only gazoo can save me now 

What in the nine worlds is Gazoo? 

I always clean my computer with vacuum cleaner, and I never had issues... Just don't forget the computer must be switched off, and that all components on the PCB are ESD protected.
Madfox is the unlucky-est man over the world :P 

You can easily destroy the fans if the suction makes them spin too fast. Smaller components be even be sucked off the mainboard if you are unlucky.

... how?

Also, most components should be soldered on. Anyway, vacuum cleaner +1, and I also put my keyboard into the dishwasher thingy (dunno what that's in Engrisch). Comes out spanky clean each time. 

vacuum cleaners royally screwing computers up as well. Obviously it doesn't happen every single time, but I'd say it's a pretty risky thing to do, especially when a can of compressed air is so cheap and reliable. 

There are many theories and legends about it. I always thought it was some physical damage but according to the internet the fans generate electricity if being spun by the airflow and that this electricity can damage the mainboard or whatever it goes to.

A buddy of mine once managed to suck a capacitor off his mainboard, that is a first hand experience (I was sitting nearby).

Ah, that actually makes sense. OK. 

Always used a vacuum cleaner as well, though I take the fan off the board and use a brush also.

Never heard that it can fuck stuff up . . . 

I heard damage came from having the 'body' of the vacuum too close to the PC. If you keep the hoover on t'other side o' room and use long hose it'd work. It would explain the varying destruction/success, but as with all this debate, at least 50% urban legendy conjecture. 

i never clean my computer lol 

u guys look like ladies...

come clean my computer and my home please! 

It worked. At least you appear in my friends list now. It didn't seem to work for the other people I tried, maybe the invitations time out after a few days.

I have to play this on a 1.8ghz laptop for the time being and it runs fine on 640*480 medium settings. I'm sure my home rig would have no problems running it on higher resolutions.
There are regular lags, which is a bit unfortuate, but I can live with it regarding the much more annoying issue of me accidentally touching the touchpad all the time (anyone know how to turn it off?).
The game is enjoyable at the moment, simply because there are so many casual players (newbies) that one can join a game and be good without getting owned right away. 

 

I had two invitations in my inbox (there was no notification on the home page) and accepted them, but they don't show up on the list. 

I accepted megmn as a freind today with IRC communication to boot, and it would appear that you have to send a freind request, then they accept it and send you another one then you have to accept that or something.

Either that or its just a bit buggy.

And the stats are disabled :(

Still a fun game though. 

As I said, components are ESD protected... (Oh, just for information ESD = Electro-Static Discharge)
Also, the CPU must be OFF when you clean it. Obviously you must use the lowest possible aspiration power.
The most important: DO NOT touch the component !

I do that once per quarter, and I never had any issue...
Depending of the "method" you are using, you can destroy, or not, your computer... believe me ;) 

My dropping it from the third floor method got things nice and clean (and had the added bonus of venting frustration) but didn't leave the machine 100% functional.
