Back when a console game meant Tomb Raider and the only way to play a decent shooter was on a PC, is when you were hailed a geek or nerd

Then came halo and the cod series and see ya later, no recognition for being an OG shooter gamer though

We fought the wars that won't be remembered

Couple articles about this. The identity of a geek gamer has been lost & blended into everyday norm.

The people who suffered through it and built their identify around it have nothing to show now.

Only thing they can do now is vent/rage at newcomers. Cause hate on the Internet.

Same thing happened with the cinema-goers with scifi. Now every new blockbuster is based on a comic book with your mum/dad going to watch.

Yes and now grandparents downloading torrents and swapping portable hard drives wtf

I remember having a pocket PC (windows ce ftw) in year 7 and copping never ending shit for it - these days you'd get bagged if you didn't have a more capable smart phone lol

Had a HP pocket pc in 2003, kept it in my blazer pocket, as was the style at the time. Couldn't afford the CF card wifi adapter.

Did have the foldable keyboard to type notes though. I was like sent from the f**king future.

Achieved 48/50 study score in IT in year 11 at age of 16.

Career councillor said electrical & comp systems engineer. Did 1st year electrical eng & was like wtf do not want any of this shit.

Was planning to switch to business IT but didn't want to waste the 1yr of engineering studies.

So picked the next best option which was process engineering with a stretch at process improvement in IT.

Now I'm stuck writing excel macro's for clueless managers & being IT support when IT has nfi.

This was my baby; saved up $400 and bought it from Brashes. Massive euphoria when I got it home; don't think I opened the box for a few hours at least.

I managed to fit one Blink 182 MP3 on it - before iPods or even portable MP3 players existed

Which means you really got 49/50 pre curve of distribution

Dat ridiculous scaling for IT subjects

I had this bad boy...

wow I had the exact same one.

more a data bank than pocket pc however.

Showing my age, but my first pocket computer had a speaker and microphone that you stuck over a phone handset...yes a acoustic coupling 300 baud modem

along lines off:

I predict role playing board games/cards to become the next mainstream thing.

Pokemon cards already worth a mint, think about how many kids binned them to act cool in highschool lol

pfft all you people are like modern day tablet fiends and iphone watch enthusiast from back in the day.

y'all be complaining in 10 years about how you only used your tablet to play flappy bird and could only fit Chicago's discography on it before running out of room and how you were the cool person using it as a camera at events but it was silly in hindsight.

I don't understand his appeal, and don't see how there is even a target demographic for what he does - I think he got lucky finding his niche and just kept doing the same old formula whilst evolving it for interest, including involving his girlfriend in videos

Have watched his videos before with an open mind and he just seems to say nothing but annoying self made catchphrases and cartoon like squeaks, like a naughty kid in class with ADHD

Nothing against him but fark who would subscribe to that

I know, 27 million people

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
