View Full Version : [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...
Looks very good and very expensive.
What do you think of a monitor like this?
http://www.acuista.com/en/x/1300595-samsung-syncmaster-s22b300b-ls22b300bs-en/
I don't have that much money as it is, so the price is appealing.
I had a 19" before this one, took a bit to get used to but I absolutely love it now.
btw I had this one before. http://reviews.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/acer-h233h/4505-3174_7-33529135.html
Just so you know what I was used to.
Yea, I'm not sure that I want to downgrade the size of my monitor. even though it's only1,5"
Going to a smaller size is noticeable but you will get used to it quickly and probably not realize it after awhile.
Guess your right. For a low budget, what did you think of the first monitor that I linked?
I am guessing they don't have price club type stores in denmark. Here they go by names like Costco, Sams Club, etc. Since here you can get great stuff for very cheap. But that 1st monitor should serve you well and if you ever get a bit more money in the future it will work as a great 2nd monitor.
Well we got "cheap stores", but this is as cheap as it gets I suppose.
Samsung makes good low priced monitors that usually look very good. So I am sure you will be happy with it.
Yes, 1.5" won't be noticeable after a few days.

Sorry I needed to leave Kori. My monitor acted weird. All blurry and stuff. Maybe I foresee a new monitor purchase tomorrow.
How large is your monitor?
No problem. My friend filled me in when I got back. >_>
Stomach was acting up, which is one of the reasons I'm still up. Sucks trying to sleep when you need a trip to the loo every 10 minutes. =P
Anyway I use a 24" monitor, and I wouldn't want to have it any smaller with that. It has 1920x1200 resolution and supposedly 4 ms response time. Basically so long as it's not much higher than 6, it should be plenty for gaming. Although don't get too slow of a response time, since you can notice a... ghosting effect? Can't remember the exact term, but during action packed scenes in movies, or fast paced games, you'll notice the monitor can't quite keep up so to speak.
Apart from that I'd say anything between 21"-27" where for me 24" is the best. Personal preference after having used that for quite some time. Although if you ever plan on having 2 monitors, it might not be wise to go with 27", unless you have a lot of space on your dekstop.
I have no clue what my response time is. Any idea how to figure it out?
I did Google it, but the test was really confusing and complicated.
Test?
Just google your monitor?
????
Profit!
Test?
Just google your monitor?
????
Profit!
kegs isn't that smart :D
Well....that would require finding the model number...
Look behind your monitor.
????
????
???
Profit!
It's 26" actually...even better!
Only has 8ms response though. Never noticed any ghosting.
kegs is getting schooled :D
Nah, it's a great monitor, couldn't be happier!
I bought mine today! Can't remember if it was the one that I linked to yesterday. http://www.proshop.dk/Skaerm/Samsung-24-SyncMaster-S24A350H-2258239.html
I guess! Atleast I could afford it, and my old monitor was terribly outdated.
And you know the old saying: Any upgrade is an upgrade!

Looks like a nice monitor indeed, although it doesn't look like you can raise/lower it is that correct? I miss that function on my current monitor, as I would've liked it to be slightly higher. Not a huge deal though.
That's why mine sits on a phone book!
No I can't adjust it. But the set adjustement seems fine as is.

Lol Kegs. Nice use of books... you are supposed to read them though! :P
That's good SK. Would suck if it wasn't. >_>
Well I'm not about to read them.
I do the same - old uni books :P.
It's like simultaneously solving a storage issue, too :P.
Ya, for sure! I may make a nice stand when I rearrange my desk though.
My desk is too small for anything other than my monitor, speakers, keyboard, and mouse. It's a small desk - no fancy drawers or anything, but it gets the job done :P.
I've got plenty of room, it's just disorganized room right now.
I really want a dual monitor setup. Need to work on the wife though :D
Why would she be against it? Because of the prize or how it would look?
price mainly, I can sort of understand.
You get a new monitor, she gets a horse.
Asians loves horses.
You get a new monitor, she gets a horse.
Asians loves horses.
sig worthy I think Kegs has been usurped
You get a new monitor, she gets a horse.
Asians loves horses.
LOL!
And dual monitor is the way to go! I could never go back.
What are the two monitors you run Muggs?
If I remember you have a 4x3 and a 16x10?
I have a dell 27" @2560x1440(16:9) and a Samsung 21" @1600x1200(4:3) - The reason I stick with that samsung is it is a color accurate monitor so it helps with my workflow. When I replace the 27" with a 30" I will run both of those but who knows when that will be.
I don't think that the GF will let me get a second monitor:(
I would love a second, but my wife would kill me.
Lol, sk, awesome quote xD

2 things in there. A 23" monitor for 140$ which is a good price. The other is D3. Not sure what the deal is, but I am curious.
How much discount do you get?
That's what I was trying to figure out.
Found it, had to enter it at checkout. Oh wow, 10$ off the game, that's a good deal! They probably don't offer release date delivery though.
And if I read it correctly, it was only for the next 48 hours?
What kind of company is it?
That's the company that I bought my computer from, very reputable. They sell computer and electronics parts.
Yes, looks like a 48 hour sale.
I would really like a new computer.
How much did you use on yours?
About $700. Not too bad really.
No that's not too bad. I seem to remember that you build it yourself?
Yea, muggs helped me pick it all out and I assembled it all.
The most budget friendly diablo slayer built to date. :cloud9:
Haha! I'm sure we could have gone a bit cheaper and still ran D3 :p
Yeah but you were a bit future proofed too. In case they decided to add a bit extra in an Xpac like they have been known to do for their other games.
Yea, I'm not complaining, I spent as much as I had, which is what I wanted :D
I'm happy to be future poof.
What did the wife say about the prize?
I saved up my allowance, so there wasn't much she could say, but she still thought I was stupid for spending that much.
I saved up my allowance, so there wasn't much she could say, but she still thought I was stupid for spending that much.
how cute, you have an allowance :D
Yea, the kids are jealous because I get so much more than them :p
Yea, the kids are jealous because I get so much more than them :p
LOL.
What is your allowance out of interest?
$10 a week ... I got more than that when I was in high school :D
Sorry kegs :D.
How much of an allowance does your wife get?
Same as me.
I don't think I even had an allowance in high school, I had a job.
I had a job through uni, but not during school.
I've had a job since college.
You don't have an allowance cakes?
I've had a job since college.
You don't have an allowance cakes?
not exactly, I just talk her into letting me buy stuff :D.
I got a job when I was 16.
cakes' wife is his sugar mama, he gets whatever he wants.
I earn money too, she just earns a good 20% more than me .....
Yea, that's why I said that :D
I completely forgot. What is it, that your wife does for a living?
Right now she is a preschool teacher, but that was just temporary, after this school; year she'll go back to being a stay at home mom.
If I may ask, why was it temporary? Didn't she really want to? Or was the position just temporary?

$10 a week ... I got more than that when I was in high school :D
hey, you got an allowance! I'm sure if I wasn't in dance I would've have gotten one. Wait a minute...
*remembers who her parents are*
No, i wouldn't have! LMAO!!
hey, you got an allowance! I'm sure if I wasn't in dance I would've have gotten one. Wait a minute...

No, i wouldn't have! LMAO!!
I had to use that money to pay for bus tickets, anytime I wanted to go out with friends etc.
I had allowance in High School. But I didn't in College.
But then again, I got SU (Danish word for something like Educational Economical Support.) when I turned 18.
I didn't get an allowance through college and ended up working full time during the breaks.
Yea, I mostly worked full time, when the school year ended.
Leopold Stotch
19-04-2012, 21:31
i worked part time during school, full time before college, went to college full time and worked part time as a waitress/bartender. it was pretty stressful but manageable. i never did more than 12 hours though and that combined with a part time job was pretty tough. Kids who went to school for 15-17 hours it was like, "Are you serious?! Wow!"
I'm hoping to pay off school and get one class. I'll be lucky if i can do two. I figure that it's better than nothing, ya know? :nod:
I'm just glad that I have no debt at the moment.
That may change when I begin to study at the University thought. We'll see how much I can be able to work beside that.
Leopold Stotch
19-04-2012, 22:15
my debt isn't that bad compared to others... still though... >.>
If I may ask, how much is your debt?
Leopold Stotch
19-04-2012, 22:19
close to 900 USD.
Well, luckily that's not a whole lot.
My HECS debt at the end of uni was around $36,000. However it is a special kind of debt that is only indexed to inflation and you only have to pay off if you are making money.

As much as I would like to play with you Kori I think the open beta servers might be a bit of a cluster F ...
I may play, just to play with some people I haven't played with yet :D

As much as I would like to play with you Kori I think the open beta servers might be a bit of a cluster F ...
Yea I think you're right. But I don't care, I'll still try and see if I can play through with at least Wizard and Monk.
I may play, just to play with some people I haven't played with yet :D
We should definately play once open beta goes live! :D
Assuming the servers can hold up. >_>
Woah!
Kegs get back here!
He was back for a sec then disappeared. I didn't play any open beta but I got to talk to Kori over the weekend. That just leaves Kestegs, Leo, and SK and I think I got everyone. I even got to hear a peep out of Kimiko and I mean literally a peep.
If I may ask, why was it temporary? Didn't she really want to? Or was the position just temporary?
She did it because we needed money. She will be homeschooling our kids next year so she won't be able to work.
He varnished .
Lol

I am back, slowly getting up to speed.
You heard Kimmi? :shocked:
I heard kimmi too, she said Yo.
Edit: and I finally got to speak to Muggsy.
I am not sure I even got that much out of kimiko it was definitely a peep or perhaps a squeek.
I have heard her speak a sentence once in a while.
/feels special.
I think I have heard a couple one worders out of her, but that's it.
I should have got on mumble this morning, maybe tomorrow.
I am working all week but perhaps friday morning I will be on. I may be on tonight too but the only Aussie we get at night is Autti since Jcakes is always working.
Actually I doubt I'll have time tomorrow, I have a meeting at 6:15am
It's going to be a busy work week for me too.
I am working all week but perhaps friday morning I will be on. I may be on tonight too but the only Aussie we get at night is Autti since Jcakes is always working.
yeah sorry about that Muggs. Weekends, I can be on during your evening.
No worries RL > mumble
Apparently. :D
Wow that was a fast reply. Were you waiting with your hand on the f5 button?
Just so happened to click it at the right time, it actually showed cakes as the last poster when I clicked it.
And I'm on my phone of course :p
Still super speed of posting. My guess is you are making up for lost time.
Unless you build a time machine.
And you need a car for that.
Nice to meet you all. Im the new monk fan boy after the Open Beta weekend. :jig:
Kestegs, I hope you have fast typing fingers because Im determined to play my "Chuck Norris" on 15th!
Uh! Is this the Chuck that I played with? :)
Names are not unique, so we can both have it :p
And you need a car for that.
Or a hot tub
Not so, in Open Beta I had "hucca" :)
Aw:( I played with one named Chuck Norris.
Still looking forward to play with you!
I mean we could both have one named Chuck Norris.

Finally got around to watching Pirates Of The Caribbean: At Worlds End. >_>
I think I should get some sleep soon. :P
you know they have made a 4th movie since then :D
korialstraz
25-04-2012, 23:45
Damn you Jcakes! I don't have the stamina to sit up and wait for a movie to download before watching it!
Hehe kidding kidding. =P And yea I knew. Sort of at least, as I've not read anything about it, but the ending to At Worlds End was pretty much a dead giveaway that there was going to be another movie. >_>
It's usually pretty obvious when there is another movie planned. Very annoying.
I don't think it is necessarily planned, they generally leave most movies open for a sequel so that if it does well at the box office they can make one. No sense in closing a story if you don't have to :D
Yea, but some are far more obvious than others.
Like the James Bonds of old which would have in the title sequence "James Bond will return in ....."
Such Violent Storms
26-04-2012, 05:05
Bruce Lee or Jet Li?
I don't think Bond returns in Bruce Lee
Such Violent Storms
26-04-2012, 05:45
That's an entire thing right there: Bond, now able to take control of dead people.
Maybe not.
Bruce Lee would have made a nice villain for James Bond to take on :)
But they are generally both good guys, why would they fight?
But then the winner would be evil for defeating a good guy.
Yea, but it's opposite day.
korialstraz
26-04-2012, 14:36
Going to the gym later today. Hopefully we'll pace ourselves a bit better than last time. xD
I see what you did there:)
But if it's opposite day then they are both evil?
Good luck at the gym, Korial.
I am starting to think this is how movies get made in hollywood.
korialstraz
27-04-2012, 00:37
I see what you did there:)
Huh? I don't. >_>
Good luck at the gym, Korial.
Thanks. Spent about an hour and 15 mins, pushing myself a bit more, even though we had slightly longer breaks in between. I'm going to be sore tomorrow. >_>
But if one evil destroys another evil, does that make him good?
GO TO BED KORI!
If I get the new job my new work has a free gym (that is actually rather nice). I might actually end up going then.
I usually just go for a jog, when I feel the need.
That is what I normally do as well, plus cycle to work.
No evil gets more evil if it kills evil.
I was just about to say you were in the wrong thread.
But I didn't
Or did I?
korialstraz
27-04-2012, 10:42
But if one evil destroys another evil, does that make him good?
GO TO BED KORI!
I did at 3 am. :P
Atm I've starting ****ing up my sleeping rythm. Wasn't too bad before the open beta weekend. >_<
You have to get back on track!
So that you can screw it up on the 15th again:)
korialstraz
27-04-2012, 12:18
Aye you got a point there.
I've actually begun preparing. I'm starting by making room in my fridge/freezer for pizza, cola, energy drinks and some other foods and whatnot. Also need to clean my appartment, as well as cleaning out my comp for dust. Then next weekend a trip to visit my family before I bunker down for several days of D3 marathon! :D
Also 1 last detail which may or may not work out. A friend of mine said he had bought some caffeine pills while in Sweden, so need to ask him if he has enough to sell me some. :P
Edit: Oh and as a friend of mine pointed out, make some arrangements for a funeral. Just in case I game myself to death. xD
Caffeine pills are bad Kori if you want an upper make a pot of coffee. And I am not single Kest but I have pretty much blocked off a whole week to play D3 at launch.
I'll clear Inferno in 2 days anyways..
I know, but it's much easier if you're single.
I hope bash was right about the difficulty.
All joking aside. I'm quite interested to see how long it will take, before the first group clears inferno.
EDIT: Just bought the digital copy. Started downloading..
I'm very interested as well.
I've got the ce coming on release day :)
Maybe I'll buy the CE later on.
This just seemed like the easiest way..
I hope I don't regret my online purchase, never done release date delivery before and it still makes me nervous.
All you guys are jinxing yourself with all this worrying.
I'm not worried. Please leave me out of it.
I've gotta do something to keep myself busy for the next 2.5 Weeks!

I know it's bad for you, but I also hate the taste of coffee. Might not even get those pills though, and just rely on my awesome LAN experience to keep me going. ^_^
Well how many hours do you plan to play without sleeping?
korialstraz
27-04-2012, 14:23
I honestly don't know. As many as I can manage! :D
Although I just hope I won't have this stomach ache on launch day. >_<

Freeze yourself in the Colorado mountains? Worked for cartman.....
I honestly don't know. As many as I can manage! :D

so 36 hours then?
korialstraz
27-04-2012, 17:12
You just jinxed it:P
Not as long as you *knock on wood* which luckily I did. :smug:
so 36 hours then?
I can see that being a possibility. :P
I don't think freezing myself will work out so well.
korialstraz
27-04-2012, 20:45
I don't think freezing myself will work out so well.
Nah better find yourself something else to keep dat time rollin' until D3 hits the shelves!
Just got done watching Unstoppable. Entertaining enough movie, especially considering I just picked it out at random from my HDD, and didn't know what the heck it was about beforehand. ^_^
I'm busy with work, that should do the trick.
Movie sounds familiar, I'm sure I haven't seen it though.
It does pay the bills after all. Plus I gotta get caught up before d day.
korialstraz
28-04-2012, 08:39

Aye it should. :D
In short the movie is about a runaway train with dangerous cargo, and they're trying to stop it from derailing in a large city.
work is not a bad idea.
I wish I had a job. Then again if I suddenly got a new job now, then I most defiantely would not get some free days off after D3 launches. >_>
Need a shower before I go to the store. But damn I'm so sore still. Hurts like hell just to hold my arm out straight. xD Luckily I have food, so only need some snus. Maybe I'll pick up some alcohol too. :D
I had the interview for the two jobs yeterday. Went ok, not fantastic. They asked some really tricky questions....
korialstraz
28-04-2012, 09:04
Ahh yes the tricky questions! I actually think I lost a job because of one. Or at least it was a contributing factor, but all I did was answer honestly. Pretty certain I mentioned it her, but in short she asked what I'd do before starting a job had she said I got it. Well a couple days (in other words over the weekend) to prepare and get my sleeping rythm back on track. That apparently worried her. I mean doesn't my time at school with next to zero absence count for something? Some years I literally have less than 3 days of absence IIRC. >_> But she apparently was afraid I'd not be able to get up in the morning, despite my reassurance that I've got no problems with it.
Yeah never answer honestly :).
I had questions such as "What management style do you prefer", "How would you obtain critical information from a difficult person" "how would you talk an operator that has been operate the plant for 20 years into do something a different way" etc.
korialstraz
28-04-2012, 10:05
Oh wow. Yea I hate those questions.
I actually got the same question you had once about management style. Not easy to answer that one. =P
Anyway I need to run. Cya later.
yo! havent been in here for a while, whats happening OT'ers!
korialstraz
28-04-2012, 11:20
I dunno. I'm just starting to get back up and running in here after the mafia game and D3 open beta. =P
Yea, interviewing sucks. At least I would think so. I haven't had an interview in over 10 years. Oh wait, no, I had one about 6 years ago, but I didn't really realize it was an interview and I pretty much made a duechebag out of myself. Oh well.
yo! havent been in here for a while, whats happening OT'ers!

Aye I try to as well, as I don't want them to hire me on false pretense so to speak.
I usually stay pretty honest with those questions.
You're right ofc, I don't lie, but I wouldn't say what korial said about getting my sleeping pattern back on track.
I answered all of those questions honestly. I think the most interesting question I got was
"The current process we have in place for processing the natural gas includes to liquid recovery plants LRP A and LRP B. ATM LRP B is getting more ethane breakthrough than LRP A, why do you think that is?"
korialstraz
28-04-2012, 13:30
Oh I wouldn't have answered that myself either, but didn't have a better answer atm, and it was the first thing I sort of blurted out without thinking that interview. It may be because I didn't get any sleep the previous night, so I'd been awake for about 20-24 hours straight IIRC. =P
There's not much to say really. I didn't really realize it was an interview and I thought that I already had the job so I just acted kinda cocky I'd guess.
Nope. That's okay though, I did something which was probably better anyways.
What kind of job was it that you "applied" to?
korialstraz
28-04-2012, 19:07
Just got done watching Only The Strong. It's an old capoeira movie I watched when I was younger, and a friend sent it over the other day. :D
People who liked that movie also like Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol...
korialstraz
28-04-2012, 19:24
Never watched that movie, or even heard of it. :P
I only like the movie I mentioned because I think capoeira is an awesome fighting style. :P

A job at the natural gas company.

Why? :P
Also I'm about to head to bed. So will reply tomorrow or something. Just checking forums before sleep.
I've mostly just thought it looked funny.
There was also an episode of Bob's burgers that made fun of it.
Bob's Burgers? I may have to watch that.
It's a pretty good show, I enjoyed it. They just started season 2 up but I haven't watched it.
Isn't capoera the dancing martial art? If so it sounds funny :)
korialstraz
29-04-2012, 13:37
Aye it is. :P :D
Really cool to watch imo. >_>
I just can't get that episode out of my had, it's ruined it for me.
korialstraz
29-04-2012, 15:58
Hmmm. Gears of War 3 evening cancelled. I can play Heroes 6, join some LoL (message me on skype Skjolde if you feel up for it), play SC2 campeign again or continue reading Game Of Thrones. :P
Lots of options there. Never done any of those so I've got no suggestions.
korialstraz
29-04-2012, 17:03
Decided to continue reading a bit. Only got through 8 pages before going to sleep last night. It's been too long since I've enjoyed a good book, with music going in the background. :D
Just got home Kori! Haven't read up on LoL though, but I guess we could do a game:)
korialstraz
29-04-2012, 17:42
Alright, I just finnished a couple chapters as well, good enough place for a break. :D
Btw the books are even darker so to speak than the TV show. For any of you who have watched it, do you remember that girl who marries Drogo? She's according to the books no more than 13. :o
Yea. I think the TV show did a great job, but the book is still better.
korialstraz
29-04-2012, 19:40
Can't speak much for the books yet, but they did a great job the the series indeed!
I can understand also why they couldn't have some of the cast be as young as they said in the books. Child pornography and all that. A lot of people would frown upon it.

Bare in mind that technically this is set in medievalish times, where women got married off as soon as they "flowered". I think they attempted to make the women look as young as possible without violating those laws.
Isn't there some law about using young women and them making them look underage?
I do, that's why I said it.
That would require effort.
I don't trust your Google skills.
I do, mainly because he is backing me up :)

Aye I know It's set in a medieval fantasy setting and all that. But I just remember thinking some of the women in the series was so hot, and then now reading about them supposedly being like 11-14 :P
Shocking, cakes.
I can see how that would be a bit weird.

Drinking FTW! :D
Anyone else enjoying alcoholic beverages tonight? :D
Of course.......
Not.
being married to a recovering alcoholic is no fun.
Yeah that is probably hard. How long was your wife an alcoholic? Did it start before you were married (that is not a loaded question, I am curious as she was 19 iirc when you were married, and I think the limit is 21 in the states)
I don't drink. Not for religious reasons either, I just don't like to.
I'll drink Root Beer though - amen to that! :loving:
Root beer is decentish, we only get the A&W Root beer IIRC
Bundaberg root beer is dead good. We just call it Sarsaparilla, but it's the same difference. I get the Diet version these days though, just to watch out for that blood sugar level :loving:.
I did not realise that sarsparilla = root beer.
@Zoot: I assume that means you are Australian? Bundaberg Ginger Beer is pretty awesome too
Yup - root beer is brewed from sarsaparilla roots. That's why it's called root beer :).
Not a fan of Ginger Beer, though. I straight-up don't like ginger unless used purely for flavouring purposes in savoury dishes.
And yeah - Melbourne here =p.
Fair enough, I love ginger :).
Ah so you are a dirty Victorian ;), please tell me you are not a Collingwood supporter
It's only been maybe 3 years that she's been one.
I never knew that's what Sarsaparilla was either.

I am not sure what you are talking about?
Meh Collingwood - I'm about the Cats. I used to dislike them because they were too easy to like (if that makes sense), but I kinda gave in :p.
Although I have to say, as a pet team, I kinda like the Lions, even if I haven't been to any of their matches >_>. I just feel bad for the guys :[.
Heh, are you actually a Geelong supporter or a bandwagon supporter :).
I am a Crow supporter as you could probably guess.
I'm the first to admit there's definitely some bandwagoning going on. :jig:
Heh, fair enough I guess, I don't mind Geelong too much, they are the least Victorian of the Victorian teams :)
I meant she has only been a recovering alcoholic for about 3 years.
Oh ok, how long was she an alcoholic?

No posts since yesterday? MADNESS!
Forums have been slow, I wonder if it's due to the beta.

Yes, closed yesterday. Ladder reset for D2 is today.

I have to say that while this is true historically, I find quite a difference today in the products that are marketed generally as Root Beer and Sasaparilla.
Commercial Root Beer such as A&W, Barq's tend to have more of a sweet vanillia flavor in general
Sasaparilla products have a tendance towards more spiced flavorings with anise and nutmeg, etc.
Barqs changed their recipe recently and now it sucks, makes me sad.

I think Australian Sarsparilla tastes different as well. I have had A&W, I must say it is quite nice to drink.
