Those guys are tanks, though. Speed doesn't really matter with that huge-ass gun.

I don't remember how they did it in TFC, but in the original Quake/QuakeWorld TF you could literally keep medics from hitting you with their poison "axe" if you unloaded in time. It'd be unfair if HWGs moved any faster.

Circle K doesn't even nearly compare to the greatness that is 7-11, though. The only thing Circle K has is those little quasi-frozen personal pizza things, that aren't even that good.

I generally only go to convenience stores for snacks, drinks, etc, so that doesn't really matter to me. There's also no 7-Elevens anywhere near my parents' house, so yeah.

And besides, if I want food I'll go to Sheetz or Wawa.

If you just want to see the chart (statically, of course -- not in action) then go here: http://www1.ocn.ne.jp/~hibroad/score/index.html. It takes a while to load, but it has every chart, 1st style to GOLD as well as the CS exclusives.

I live within biking distance of 7-11, which is a big plus in this day and age. I love 7-11.

There's like two or three of them within five minutes (driving distance) from me in Maryland. In Ohio, I live five minutes (walking distance) from a Circle K.

It's awesome.

The Beer Store

OH GOD I saw one of those when I was up there. I love the name of that place.

We walked through LCBO and...wow. Pretty impressive selection, I have to say. Lucky Canadian bastard.

There's a little place near my parents' house -- Struthers Beer & Wine. Not sure of any places near Odenton but I'm sure my friend and I will find them eventually.

Trying to RMA it would be your best bet, methinks. Another option, if that fails, is to try to get a socket 478 mobo off eBay. Here's a P4P800 SE here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ASUS-P4P800-SE-Socket-478-Intel-P4-AGP-DDR-Motherboard_W0QQitemZ130154024046QQihZ003QQcategoryZ80158QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

The only problem with that option is that they tend to be overpriced (some going up to $130-140, with $20-30 shipping). The P4P800 is a damn fine mobo, but considering socket 478 is quite dead now it's a shame to have to pay so much for it, even for a high-end board.

A P4P8X might be a cheaper alternative for you. That's the board that I have and I have yet to have any problems with it. The only problem with it is that apparently the only way it supports P4s with 800MHz FSBs is by overclocking the bus (I have one of the crappier 533MHz FSB P4s with disabled hyperthreading, so I don't have to worry about such things). From what I understand it's stable at that rate but if you go that route you may not be able to overclock your system to the level that you have now (your setup was a P4 3.2 processor running at 3.8, right?).

I've heard kind of mixed things about online Gears. Some people love it, others not so much. Haven't tried it myself, though.

That sucks, dude.

Sadly, I think your motherboard is the most likely suspect. Before going any further, try jumping the CMOS reset jumper. I've had a system refuse to boot until I did that before.

As far as getting a replacement board, I did a quick check (as I'm sure you did) and Newegg is a bit lacking on socket 478 stuff. All I could find are MicroATX boards with a max of 2 DDR DIMM slots. TigerDirect didn't even have that. If it is the mobo you might have to see if you can send it back to the manufacturer for repair if you can't find any other sites. Springing for an upgrade would be hella expensive because you'd have to pretty much replace everything (PCI-E video card, DDR2 RAM, new processor...le sigh).
