    Septic tanks suck

    It's not as though people have much of a choice. Either you are close to the city sewer or your not. I guess you could go out and dig an outhouse pit.... Anyway your county should definitely have a record of the placement of the septic tank. They need to know so it's not near any water...

    What's the worst thing a parent could say to their kid?

    I don't think there's just one thing a parent says that really messes up their kid. You can bet that anyone that could say something so hurtful to their child has already been practicing though most of that kid's life. For example I went through years of mental and physical abuse from my...

    Suggestions for watercooling?

    Thanks for all the suggestions! The koolance stuff looks interesting and relatively easy to setup, and the cases aren't bad. The swiftech setup looks good too and I think I can hide the radiator. and yes the zalman looks good too, but to answer your question I just like messing with...

    Suggestions for watercooling?

    Well, I'll be putting together a new rig soon (next couple months) and thought I'd like to have a bit of fun with my new setup. So I'll be modding a case, doing the flashy lighting thing, and I was considering adding a watercooling setup. So I was wondering what other anandtech members used...

    YAC(Canada)T: Why does Canada still love England...

    She may not have any power in England, but in Canada her word is law! "Fetch me my moose young squire, I wish to go on a rampage"

    Bloodlines

    I really like this game. It does have a lot of bugs and needs some serious polish in some places but its a lot of fun. I even stopped playing halfway through to make a new character and I still had lots of fun playing through the areas I'd been before. I just REALLY wish they spent more time...

    **OFFICIAL HALF LIFE 2 THREAD** - KEEP ALL THE HALF LIFE CHATTER IN HERE GUYS!!

    Yeah, I won't be reading reviews or even visiting this forum until I've finished the game. I like to play a game without other people's criticism kicking around in the back of my mind.

    Lightning STRIKES TWICE! Half-Life 2 is out!

    Looks like vivendi is playing silly buggers. Sucks for those who bought it early from BB.

    Lightning STRIKES TWICE! Half-Life 2 is out!

    Its doctored! I want a poloroid with a picture of HL2 and today's paper or I won't believe it! Actually I don't care if it gets released today or the 16th, though the weekend would be more convenient.

    Vinyl Fencing vs Wood Fencing for a privacy fence

    Just get a chainlink fence and let some some plants grow on it. Honeysuckle or a hardy climbing rose are both good. They're pretty, smell nice, and will completely cover your fence. Whatever you decide to do, please don't put in junipers. I hate junipers.

    Rome total war.. anyone played it?

    This game is a lot of fun. Lots of strategy and empire building, kinda like how Cossacks should have been done. However, it has some major bugs. I've had the game crash to desktop on me and corrupt all my save games. If you go to the company's forums there are many other people with the same...

    Dawn of War

    Dawn of War doesn't have much unit diversity, which is my biggest complaint about it. The four races are slightly different but pretty much come down to the same principals. You talor your units by equipping them with different weaponry (i.e. flamer, heavy bolter, missle launcher, or plasma...

    Anyone played Star Ocean for PS2?

    I read many good reviews of this game so I picked it up, but after playing it.... I really wouldn't recommend it. Some parts of the game are well done. For example, the graphics are pretty good (dated but nice), and the battle system is interesting. But the meat of a rpg, the story, is...
