RE: The Rant/Rave Topic - Lord_Leperman - 09-29-2007

Rave: I'm pretty much happy with the newly released PS2 games. so I'm quite busy playing most of them while looking for work.

Rant: My car died a few days ago because the cooling fan of the radiator failed to start up. I failed to notice the heat spike in my engine which caused the radiator to literally melt under the hood (it actually exploded, spewing melted plastic on different parts of the engine). I kid you not when I say that my car was smokin' when I finally realized what was going on. At least the car still made it into the service center and its currently under repair.


RE: The Rant/Rave Topic - clonezero - 09-29-2007

Rant: man Im the most forgetful person in the world ...

rave: avatar season 3 is starting yehey!!

I would have LOVED to see this in action. Not your mishap per se, just the event of a radiator looking like melted cheese all over the engine. Maybe they should show it on Mythbusters or something. Tongue


RE: The Rant/Rave Topic - Serene - 09-29-2007

Rant:
I just saw my grades in MISIR...
I won't be playing anything for a while for now.

Gotta avoid AC, DotA, Ragna, and any other vice I have for the mean time...
A 60% grade is not just a wake up call...
It's a signus...

Quite exactly as you described it. The water container on radiator on my car is colored gold/yellow, so it did spit cheese-like particles on my engine. Well, the radiator didn't totally explode, just a portion of it but its big enough to cause a leak. The mechanic said that the problem was because of a faulty thermo-switch which should start up the cooling fan after the car engine reaches a certain temperature. Apparently it died, therefore the radiator fan failed to start, causing the radiator to remove the engine heat properly.

I suffered, quite literally in AC terms... A Blow-out. Radiator failed in cooling, engine died because of heat.

Serene, work hard and play hard! Big grin

You need more Ananda in my opinion. Haha.

Well damn, the Blue Eagles' season is over. Good job La Salle, they played real smart in the 3rd and 4th quarter.


RE: The Rant/Rave Topic - clonezero - 09-30-2007

hmmm the linden is better when over heated ... it has a relatively low drain for a high forced cooling for a low drain right? but the gen must be good to ... XD joke only boss don't kill me on pact 3


RE: The Rant/Rave Topic - NiX - 09-30-2007

Rave: Sorry ateneo. =P La Salle victory for both high school and college bball.

Rant: Wasn't able to watch though because I had another engagement. >_<


RE: The Rant/Rave Topic - Fox - 10-01-2007

I never even got to watch the games. I spent most of the morning (and the entirety of the afternoon) getting shot up by guys hiding behind tall grass weilding airsoft rifles. Yep, for the past couple o' months, i've been giving the old hobby another try. The Ghost is back. Tongue

I'm quite rusty with the skills though. I think i'm quite out of shape since crawling through the undergrowth took a lot outta me. And even a quick sprint through the bushes left me breathless.

And don't get me started about the new guys. Damn, whoever was holding that M249 really had it in for me. The guy kept shooting even though i had already called out "HIT!". My left forearm still has the bruises to show for it, plus a couple of BB-marks on my neck and nape.

Must get around to buying that drum-mag since i've been designated as a support gunner by the team leaders. Reloading from 150-round mags in the middle of a firefight while BBs are whizzing past your head is not a pleasant experience. At least with the drum-mag's capacity, i get 2500 chances to hit anyone in my sights. Big grin

Here's a shot after the first round. I'm the idiot in the black tactical vest and the other fools are the guys (zombies) in my squad.

Something a little bit annoying - i can't get any avatar of any sort up! Wat's wrong with the "update avatar" button?


RE: The Rant/Rave Topic - Lord_Leperman - 10-02-2007

Mr. Fox, I did think of buying air soft guns back then but I stayed away after seeing their price >_<. Though I really did want to play war games along with some of my friends who are enthusiasts. :p

Rant: My PS2 once again broke down earlier today. The lens failed to fire up the laser making the PS2 unable to read any of my games.

Rave: I fixed it myself Shadesb it really feels nice to do things yourself Big grin (warranty void, but that was 4 years ago already Smile) ). In addition, my car is fixed as well :p so, yeah great day.


RE: The Rant/Rave Topic - R.Leonhardt - 10-02-2007

RE: The Rant/Rave Topic - Grim - 10-02-2007

Awesome pics guys. Makes me think of taking my friends up on their offer to go try this thing.

The only real liability I have is my eyesight. I know you can probably fit glasses inside the protective goggles, but it's still a hassle.


RE: The Rant/Rave Topic - NiX - 10-02-2007

ZOMG. 30 seconds ago, I was still looking at the old skin. Now, it's this new dark stuff. Hahah


RE: The Rant/Rave Topic - clonezero - 10-03-2007
