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

Dat ridiculous scaling for IT subjects

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

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
