I don't know whether I like burst enough to buy it over just continuing with 0g and standard!

That is a thought for the Beyblade Random Thoughts topic more. Beyblade is not supposed to be discussed in the Off-Topic Forums.

March Madness is lit. Two big upsets with Purdue and Baylor losing luckily I never had them going past the second round so it's all good. Still in the top 90% Smile.

Out of curiosity, is there anyone on here that is a fan of Rush? Since this board has a high concentration of Canadian members I realized the chances of fellow fans being on here would probably be higher.

Woah, sixty-one hours of work this week, in four days, including travel times... Finally over.

61 hours of work in 96 hours?! Damn, that's only 35 hours of break, no wait, if we counted sleeping and eating, that's even less. I could never survive that!

Well, I had Thursday off, so two days, a break, then two days.

Oh I thought it was all in a row. Still seems like a pain.

Guys, I need a little tech-advice here.

I'm planning to build a high-spec gaming rig to play games on and maybe do other computer-related work. Since Intel's price is a little off the hook in Indonesia, I chose AMD as the CPU and motherboard chip set.

Problem is, I can't decide whether to use the FX-9590 or the FX-8350. The FX-9590 is faster and I've kinda grown attached to it, and Starcraft on an old laptop is incredibly annoying. However, the 8350 is cooler (and quiter since I can suppress fanspeed whenever I'm not playing, which If I try to do with the 9590 I'll do nothing but fry it since It's very hot.) The 8350 also eats up less power. So, which should I pick?

If you are interested, here are my specs, though any recommendations are welcome too.

As for the peripherals:

I might add a couple of 120mm fans, and Aerocools' front panel as well as an optical drive bay.

Here are games I play/plan on playing. All at HD or Full HD and max graphic settings.

So what do you think guys?

I'm more confused as to why you're maxing out your build when you're planning on running older games. I can run almost every new game at 60fps on an R9 380 and a core i5-6600k

I was kinda preparing for the 2015 Need For Speed (it's kinda heavy isn't it?) hence my video card choice. Any good recommendations for that?

I wasn't sure where to post this, if not allowed feel free to delete.

As most of you know Ive been away from the WBO for about a month. And I owe everyone an apology. Especially Stoney & the North Carolina Community. The last month has been a rather bad month for me. Not going into many specifics , but depression among other bad things came back into my life. Some of you in the NC & Toronto community know some of the stuff Ive dealt with over the years. Ive let my duties on the WBO slip, Ive let stuff in my personal life slip. And I'm not asking as Dark_Mousy, I'm asking as Howard for forgiveness and for another chance. Ive let a lot slip recently. But I am returning. I will be hosting again. And again I'm sorry for the lack of communication and not following through on things I should have already done.

Hey man, welcome back. I would advise you to not be too hard on yourself.

To be totally honest, I also fell behind on a lot of my own WBO duties due to depression and some very serious personal circumstances. Your health is what's most important. We are all here for fun, and if it's not fun, then you need to step back and focus on real life.

Also, depression is a very real thing and it takes very real effort to overcome it. To anyone here who might be struggling with something similar, please reach out to a loved one, someone you trust, or a medical professional who can guide you in the right direction. And if you just want to talk about it, you can reach out to me at any time.

That said, now that you're back (and me, too!) let's focus on having fun blading and building the worldwide Beyblade community. Smile

I am only 17 years old, but depression has been something I have struggled with for about 3 years. It is a living hell. Fighting something like depression takes a very specific type of support, and I am sure a lot of people in the Beyblade community would be more than happy to give that support.

I may just be a kid to you Howard, but just know that I care about your well being and I am just a message away on Facebook! Do not feel guilty about prioritizing your personal life before this community. It is what you needed to do! Stay strong man!

Be careful guys, depression isn't something to take lightly. Prolonged instances, particularly bad ones, can lead to grimsly consequences (like death (by suicide or health problems), insanity, and self-inflicted injury.)

What Brad said is absolute truth. Reach out to people willing to support you. Untrustworthy people can make things worse and can lead to the above mentioned problems.

(just an fyi and no insult to Japanese people or their culture, but they see depression as "shameful" and suicide as an "honorable way out". That's why suicide rates in Japan are higher than average IIRC)

On a topic change though, has anyone met the famous Formula D drifters yet? If I got to meet Forsberg, Vaughn or Aasbo I'd take the chance.

Oh Howard, I´m so sorry.... If I had known how much trouble you´re going through right now, I would never ever have pm´ed you so often. I´m really terribly sorry, if I put even more pressure on you than there alteady is. Unhappy Unhappy If there´s anything I can do for you (besides praying for you, because I´m doing that anyways), please tell me! Even if it´s just pm´ing or whatsoever.
Just take all the time you need, we can finish out deal whenever you feel better! I´m so awfully sorry... Crying

damn these posts are hard to read, due to me at one point having it, there's no easy way to overcome depression, when taking medication, it never sorts the out the problem of depression, it simply provides a false sense of "happiness".

at one point i wanted to die, i came so close to doing it, and the reason was stupid, i worked hard for years, trying to get into medical school, and then when i took my A level's i failed not once but twice, no matter how much effort i put in the amount of notes i made, staying behind for extra lessons, i still failed, all those years felt like waste, and i just wanted to die, to put an end to end to it, as stupid as it sounds this was my reason.

the only reason i wanted to live was for my family, my mom has depression, so if i died, i knew the amount of pain i would put her through, so this was my only reason to live.

even if you have depression you can overcome it, it's possible, no matter how long it takes, years or even decades if you are suicidal seek help, suicide is never the right choice, it causes grief to others, and most of all you might regret it at the last moment. everyone should find a reason to live, no matter how stupid or pointless the reason is, as long as you want to live.

anyway if this post is too dark, feel free to delete it.

Get better dudes!! Depression is awful experience trust me. Everything's feel stagnant and pain is usually unusually quantified when you are. Also you generally dont thing reasonably when you are depressed. Keep yourself around positivity!!

I hope you guys recover, I know people with depression and I know how messed up it. All I can really tell you is to find things to be positive about. Smile

That moment when one of your biggest role models is allegedly involved in a tax evasion scandal. Sigh, Messi.

Does anyone think that another Spider-Man movie with carnage should have came out with him carrey as carnage, or is Spider-Man's cameo in Civil War going to be "good enough"? I think that another SM movie would be unnecessary, but it would be cool to see that universe expanding instead of merging with another.
Apr. 04, 2016  2:25 AM
 
I could see Jim Carrey as Carnage, he kinda looks like Cletus Cassidy anyway. For the MCU, I personally want to see the Sinister Six(one of them MUST be the Shocker). In this universe, Peter's been webslinging for at least a year as of Civil War, so I imagine that he's made some enemies by the time his solo movie comes.
