Here's an idea, we should have a forum called something like "Chit Chat" that would contain games and other forum topics that don't deserve helions. As it is now, I do not believe you should get helions for posting in other discussion.

Actually, I've tried to stop posting as much in other discussion because of the fact that I was playing "idiotic games" as Average Joe said.

@wizard: I'm not sure I ever understood the who has the hat game...

Another board game I thought of that would make my top 5 list is called Acquire. I haven't played it in quite a few years, but want to add it to my stock of games. Here is a short description for those not familiar with it.

 

Description

As a powerful real estate tycoon, there are only seven hotel chains in the world worthy of your attention. Using nothing but your wealth and wits, you must vie against other business magnates to manipulate construction and capitalize on mergers -- buying, trading, and selling stocks in order to get the greatest return on your investments.

 

Acquire challenges you to pit your resources- resolve against other players in this high-finance game of speculation and strategy!

Acquire sounds really complex...like it would be a really good game for the computer where it does all the hard, monotonous money counting and stuff for you. I always got tired of being the banker in Monopoly and having to dish out money in the beginning and then practically every turn after that.

Not sure why the name, but Stevie definitely suits it. If you see the picture you can just tell; it's a stevie.

Couldn't find the camera...I think my mom took it somewhere and has it in her car or something.

Anyway, the pins were on the mother board like you said. I've got a Q9450...almost got the Q6600 but went up to this...

kinda beside the point; I can't get my new rig to turn on...

The pins are on the motherboard as of the Core2Duo. My friend believes that the AMD AM2s may be the same way, but don't quote me on that.

 

And yes, the pins are on the motherboard and they come up into the CPU into a flat surface that can be indented for the pins. Had I known of this site before I built my current computer, I would have taken pics and put them on here for you to see.

Since Core 2 duo, huh... Well, that just shows I haven't messed with any new CPUs...

Ironically, I've got an LGA775 Quad-core cpu on the way along with a motherboard, so if I can find the camera, I'll take some pics and upload them on here. I had no idea when I bought this new processor that it had the technology you were talking about, but I guess it probably does.

Huh, very well explained; I think I might understand a little more about this now--that theory makes quite a bit more sense now. So, I'm not really sure I understand the connection part of the cpu to the motherboard... now there's little holes in the bottom of the mother board for the cpu pins to go in--Are you saying that the pins are on the motherboard and there's a flat surface on the bottom of the cpu that can be indented where the pins get pushed up?

I guess that's a pretty smart move by the manufaturer's though. I know that if I got a 300 dollar cpu and accidentally bent a few pins I'd put my honesty on the shelf and say it came that way It would be harder to say that if the pins weren't even on the cpu though.

Is this technology just on certain types of cpus( I mean I know it must be)? Like a certain socket or something that I could Google and learn a little more about?

I actually lied about the bee sting thing--never actually been stung by a bee...A wasp got me, though. I had to get that off my chest.

I suggest WoW and Starcraft II ... which isn't out yet, but oh man I can't wait for it. I can give you lots of single player if you want, there are only a limited number of MMO's that are really good though.

Well my internet isn't good. Probably the only way it could any worse would be not having internet...so single player was really what I was looking for..

Honestly, I don't know much at all about anitmatter--barely even heard of it--but from following this topic, and continuing the discussion between djbob and jcx, it seems that the only way that this whole anitmatter thing would work would be if somehow the law of conservation of energy were proved false...Otherwise, by that law, there would be absolutely no point in trying to create antimatter because the energy used to create it would be all you could harvest...

For this reason companies have started putting the pins on the circuit board and not on the CPU.

Well, although I've never seen them, I don't understand how that would really improve the situation. I would think that maybe there would be a slightly less chance of bending pens, but they might be harder to fix that way. But, like I said, I've never even seen them so my comment is completely just an opinion.

yeah I remember the last time I had a bee sting... it

I'm trying to come up with some good games for a new rig I'm planning on getting. I've already settled on Crysis and probably Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 Vegas as two of the games. I'm planning on getting 4 games so that leaves two more. Excluding Bioshock or COD4, do you guys have any suggestions?
