I'm up for it.

Are there 19 other ATers who think a guy who stuck it out and helped is bipolar son grow up right is worth a $20 thanks since we're not around to buy him a few drinks?
I'd pay for an escrow service, or we could PayPal straight to him.

Me first, money where mouth is, heading to PayPal now. What I'd like to see happen is you get your GT and your son gets something he's wanted.

Sorry you don't think helping out ATers when you notice they've done something extraordinary is "interesting" Hardwarrior.
You'll understand when you grow up.

Anyway, my $20 is sent. Even if no one else believes in the random act of kindness principle, or that people deserve special recognition when they take the hard road to help others, you're over half way to your target expenditure of $350 on the GT Megatomic.

I saw 6 GTs on Pricewatch for under $385 shipped.

I'm sorry dude. I didn't mean to derail things like this.

Rollo, I don't know what to say but thanks for what you've said. It actually makes me feel like someone cares.

Jeff7181, I'm sorry for the OT angle this thread's gone off on. Eventually I'll have a GT and I'll contribute on topic. 😱 🙂

 
:shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

OMG

Well, if it happens, I'll do my own big benchathon comparing my 9800P to the 6800GT. I haven't seen any reviews comparing those cards on NF2/XP-M systems so maybe other peeps want to see the results.

You soft-headed ass. If anyone needs a few more seasons to help in understanding the world it's you. Go ahead though, waste more of your time trying to inject "caring" into the VIDEO forum, twit.

Mega: No need to apologize, it isn't your fault. You're more than free to talk about your situation, it's the lame response I find revolting.

You're an asset to the board Hardwarrior, and life in general. :roll:

 
Anyway, cynics notwithstanding, people are starting to PM me about contributing, so it looks like this might work.

My apologies to any who feel they've been inconvenienced by my impromptu philanthropy.
 
Seems to match my scores right on targt. I idle around 56-58c. Around 70c-80c while playing Doom3 and FC.

And you're a sack of sh1t for thinking that someone should accept a stupid video as a reward for a labor of love.

You get more patronizing and ignorant with every post, ponce. This thread WAS about the NV40, not you trying to make yourself feel better about someone elses situation. You're disgusting.

There's only one sack of sh1t here Hardwarrior. I suppose you would have beat me up this spring when I encountered some kids caring for a stray cat at a religious retreat and gave them the contents of my wallet ($40 odd bucks) to buy food for the cat. Or kicked me in the nuts last Christmas when I took up a collection at work for to buy an Xbox for a client's kid who had cancer? Or spit on me when I buy $20+ worth of crap everytime someone at work's kid is selling something for their school or church, or a kid comes to my door? Or maybe for the money I give the church or charities?

I'm glad I disgust you- I want nothing in common with a low-life who bitches about other people's acts of kindness toward others.

Read your bible, study Karma, whatever- one day you'll realize life isn't all about your crappy little self and you'll be the same as me.

BTW- Confuscious say: Man who advertises the type of window in his PC case like anyone would care not in position to call others "ponce". LOL - do you have custom feet on it too, Hot Rod Timmy?

STFU!

BLAH_BLAH_BLAH! More pedantic BS from a deluded nobody. No one cares about your made-up adventures, self-aggrandizement OR long-winded drivel. This is the video forum, not the "make things up and and patronize others" forum, lout. 😉 If I was Mega I'd tell you to take your charity and fist it.

Edit: My window kit bothers you? 😀 What a stupid ass you are.
 
I'm starting to think you need the random act of kindness as much as the cat, kid, and Megatomic, Hardwarrior.

No one gets as snotty and mean as you are without some deep seated insecurities and having been kicked around a bit.

Must be hard for you to watch people care about others while you hiss and spit. You should take some home movies of yourself, send them off to Hollywood, and displace Jim Carrey in the sequel to "The Grinch".

Enjoy your festering!

BTW- your window kit doesn't "bother" me, I just find it pathetic you need to pimp it like a prized possession.
 
What the fock good is a dumb video card going to do, stupid. If you were as generous as you think you are you'd do something for the kid. This just goes to show how pathetically IGNORANT and shallow you are.

Dude, you're a jealous baby. Why else would you bring up something as trite as my sig to try to make a point about my character? You just suck, very hard. And let's not forget that you started this, ass-wipe.

Edit. I got kicked around, because I wondered aloud why a video card thread turned into a charity even for lamers? That's rich. 🙂 BTW, I'd love to be standing right in front of your sorry, poor, pathetic self right now.

LOL Your computer trinkets don't impress me, your rig is no better than mine and in some ways worse. (not to mention I can pretty much afford any computer trinket)

Anyway- I have to go buy crap to winterize my boat, want to park in the garage again. You'll have to fester on your own.

(BTW- I started nothing. Your pointing out my random act of kindness was "uninteresting" started our exchange, in which you have become rabid to the point of psychosis. I'm half expecting your head to explode!)

Why is that Hardwarrior? Do you want to hit me and make me stop telling the truth? Make me stop making you embarass yourself in public with your psycho rants?

Yeeearrrrgggggg!

"LOL", you're an idiot. You know damn well that I'm not trying to impress you. Does it seem like I care what a loud-mouth stranger hiding behind glass and wire thinks of me, boy? I joined this thread to talk about my new card, not watch you kiss your own ass. Your boat? Now who's trying to impress, son?

Sure you started it, punk. You could have kept your sarcastic BS and "you're a mean man" CRAP to yourself and stayed on topic. But no, you wanted to act like someones dad, so you picked me, chicken-sh1t. Look at the early posts, everything was fine until YOU tried to turn this into a Christmas thread, retard. :disgust:
