High: I spent most of the weekend slogging through promotions, mostly on Vanguards. It's a nice challenge for gold and I generally work with more OP weapons/ammo than I normally would with PUGs. There were mostly good, some bad, a terrible game or two thrown in for shits I guess, and the occasional steamroll with obbie1984 and others on the friend's list, but I mostly pugged. Afternoon PUGs are very unreliable to say the least. Higher: Completed a couple gold solos to remember I can do them. I need to at least try a Plat solo, it's been far too long, but I can't even find Plat PUG matches for practice Highest: I got killed in a Plat match with obbie. I don't remember how, but I decided to watch him while in spectator mode. I cycle over just in time to see obbie and a Centurian going at it with their zappy nightsticks I was able to record the tail end of the first duel and most of the second one. My drunk-ass thought it was the greatest thing ever. Totally worth dying for Forgot to mention: Gecko idk what your timezone is, but if y'all need a curry I'm always down to play with BSNers.

"#gigglesdecides!" "Hmm... HSol and... Kishock!" "How about Cryo-HSol with Kishock?" "KK" UUG turned into Giant/Cerberus... Let the Hunt commence! Leave the Atlases to the Juggy and harpoon the rest. Nothing survived an extra cold Harpoon Headshot. And Concussive Shot took care of the rest. Phantoms really loved that combination... At least I guess that according to the sounds they made, while having a DoT on them... Low: fraggle somehow ended up with just 5 rockets in the next game instead of the supposed 6... High: I guess, she found a decent way to deal with this misfortune: Other than that, just some surfing... and Pizza Running... nothing else. Only a quick Game for the last one. Claymore Huntresses vs. Trollis on Dagger Hazard... Not quite a quick game... Until Wave 8... Getting caught in the open first drained Rocket and Medigel supplies rather quickly... and then put an end to the game, also quickly... Mission Accomplished... kinda... Oh well, was a fun and a great game while it lasted. Thanks for the great games and the fun

Where to even start, there's a lot actually so this post is gonna be a lil long High: You guys know the little piece of metal grate cover in the far left side on firebase glacier that's on top of the stairs? Because one of my teammates was dead like sort of near the top of the stairs. I vaulted over the little piece of cover and mashed X button to sprint down, and ended up sliding down the stairs while doing the reviving my teammate stance (Crouch to the floor and reviving your teammate stance). So I ended up reviving my dead teammate from the bottom of the stairs after sliding down. High: I've been having fun spamming the collector adept. And having a blast with my javik wannabe prothean. Been getting better at the collector adept to the point I ended up giving a QME with host advantage a run for his money to take 1st place, It was like 2000 point difference between me in 1st place and the QME in each wave until the obvious cobra missiles near the end and he skyrocketed his score making it like 11k difference. Which i'm not salty as I used to. But i'm pretty happy and surprised at least my collector adept could keep up pretty well. High: Got into some games with clips7 . First game I wasn't host, but another guy was, he ended up DCing or something idk. Game gave me host and finished wave 10 and 11. I was host and we decided to play some more as me hosting, UUG and RNG gave us the infamous firebase ghost hazard with collectors, thankfully my PS3 didn't end up losing it's shit and giving me a possible laggy slideshow. I was kinda lowkey being a troll and intentionally making the game A LOT more difficult than it needed to be High: I trolled clips7 during one wave where I went up one of the ladders in firebase ghost hazards. I knew he wanted to climb up the same ladder I just climbed recently, because the collectors were near him. And ended up going down the ladder first and then back up again and leaving him getting molested by the collectors. I think I also ended up killing some abominations and he staggered back down and had to climb back up the ladder again. But he couldn't and ended up dying to the collector captains who were below, I'm not 100% correct. But it was funny nonetheless. Still ended up extracting though despite everything High: Yes the big idk crate asset on firebase glacier just phased out of existence. I wasn't even paying attention, and I looked back and the big massive crate was gone. High: Volus: How did I end up here? It's PAY DAY and i'm stuck underneath the LZ High: Krogan: BLAHGJHAKSJHDKAHSKJASDJKASDAJSDS HELP MEEEEEEE ^That's what I would imagine he said in the clip below.

Haha...yeah. in getting staggered by that abomination i got obliterated by those Collector captains at the bottom of the ladder..... .... .....next we meet it will be Collector/Hazard Reactor.....i think i like my Collector Adept well done with a pinch of hot sauce!..... ....good game bro!....

HSol is awesome, everybody knows. Awww. A HSol game, I'm jealous. It's tradition you know, to shoot the Claymore in the air non-stop, even between waves.
RoystonVasey63 , thanks for the games. Best part of it was teabagging and watching Qven's corpse sliding down the stairs on Vancouver like a rag-doll. Reminded me of this: 10/10. DistigousForest , I thought your pc account was ready to rumble so I sent you a FR. If you can't see it, it's because the signal went past you and probably have made it to Andromeda by now. It was a while ago, is what I'm trying to say. Tell me...what will it take to convert you? We have nice people (more people), godly mods (you're aware), keyboard-mouse accuracy (controller is great for Street Fighter II, I admit), high frame-rates (take care of your eyes - lol 30fps) and the bragging rights to the glorious Mustard Rice. Let alone consoles now are nothing but cut-down pcs. Why not be on the winning side?
...Just take a look of yourself in the mirror. Go ahead.
I know, I know. But don't blame me, blame the truth. I'm just pointing out the facts.

All the hardware I have is enough/exceeds recommended specs, except for the GPU. I need a GPU and I think that's where my issues are. It's been a while since I looked at my stuff, but the main issue I think I was going to have is it's going to be a bitch to replace the power supply because that's proprietary too and essentially built into the case and is a weird ass shape and a lot smaller than normal. I think it's only rated for 140w and I'm not sure if it'd be enough to handle a GPU upgrade. I guess I could wire it up and have the PS sit on the desk, but that'll look like shit and I'd rather just buy a damn newer desktop at that point. My Coalesced if you want to check this out. It also has an "immediate heavy melee" button defined the same way, useful against Phantoms. I think this is how I decided to split it up, but something went wrong obviously I'll have to look when I get a chance.

"How about some BW?" "Sure Demolishers?""KK" Game: 'Here, have some Glacier!' Next match: "How about an extra BW round?""Sure! Destroyers!" "Destroyers?""Sure 4 Shot BW." "KK"Game: 'Here, have something extra aswell: Glacier Hazard!' This trolling game sometimes... Oh well, still fun games. Also HIGH: "Supply Pylon kill!"

I think this is how I decided to split it up, but something went wrong obviously I'll have to look when I get a chance. 140w is pretty restrictive, with some rough napkin math, it SHOULD run a 750 Ti (the specs will tell you 75w, which is the bus powered limit, but what it ACTUALLY uses is 35w, it has an internal limit, which I bypassed to bump it from 720p to 1080p for Andromeda). SFF machines usually use CPUs rated at around 65w, with 35w from a 750 Ti (which, btw, you can limit it's power useage with Afterburner, with default bios), brings it to 90w, leaving 50w for board+other, so as long as you only use 1 (max 2) HDD/DVD/CD, you SHOULD be fine. Generally speaking, stock SFF are actually pretty light on power useage (and power supply). MOST PC gamers/builders vastly overestimate their PSU requirements, and usually have a PSU about 50% higher than needed, and even often double. That said, 140w is damned tight, and you might need to restrict the GPU's power useage, just to be on the same side.

Don't skimp out on your PSU. An inadequate PSU will compromise your entire setup. You always want to have a bit of overhead with the PSU too. Try to get a PSU that's a little stronger than what you think you need

Your PSU is probably TFX or a custom variant. You can search for OEM PSUs (using your PSU model) with a higher wattage on ebay. The GTX 1050Ti (75W) is the most powerful and efficient GPU currently available for SFFs. I've used that for a while and it can certainly run ME3MP even with custom high textures. You will probably need the low-profile variant (shorter back bracket).
If you can find the GT 630 Kepler variant (usually found on OEM machines), it is another option if you keep the existing PSU. Max power draw for this card is 25W and it can run ME3MP though with slight stuttering here and there.
Another option is to buy a case+standard PSU and move your existing system over. If your rig is HP, should be doable. Lenovo/Dell/Acer will be harder as there are more proprietary bits.

All the hardware I have is enough/exceeds recommended specs, except for the GPU. I need a GPU and I think that's where my issues are. It's been a while since I looked at my stuff, but the main issue I think I was going to have is it's going to be a bitch to replace the power supply because that's proprietary too and essentially built into the case and is a weird ass shape and a lot smaller than normal. I think it's only rated for 140w and I'm not sure if it'd be enough to handle a GPU upgrade. I guess I could wire it up and have the PS sit on the desk, but that'll look like shit and I'd rather just buy a damn newer desktop at that point. Your PSU is probably TFX or a custom variant. You can search for OEM PSUs (using your PSU model) with a higher wattage on ebay. The GTX 1050Ti (75W) is the most powerful and efficient GPU currently available for SFFs. I've used that for a while and it can certainly run ME3MP even with custom high textures. You will probably need the low-profile variant (shorter back bracket). If you can find the GT 630 Kepler variant (usually found on OEM machines), it is another option if you keep the existing PSU. Max power draw for this card is 25W and it can run ME3MP though with slight stuttering here and there.
Another option is to buy a case+standard PSU and move your existing system over. If your rig is HP, should be doable. Lenovo/Dell/Acer will be harder as there are more proprietary bits. It looks like I misremembered and my PSU is actually 240w. I may just try a 1030 since that's rated at 30w. I'll have to look through the manual to see if I can find the max voltage for the PCIe slot before I do anything. EDIT: PCIe supports 35w cards I may just be able to do a simple GPU upgrade to aquire mustard.

I still need to finish N7 on lolconsole first Hopefully 7 Tiers on insanity as well since console has no representative there as well

GPU is ordered and should be here in about a week High: Hoping to hell this shit works and to be playing with mustard soon. Low: Not looking forward to a new control scheme. My keybinds are fubar. I've been an lolconsole pleb for almost 2 decades and that's a lot to unlearn. Lower: I have a week to finish N7 and 7 Tiers on insanity on console...I have 9 Cyclonic IVs. I may not go full time PC til that shit is done.
