Am I going overboard buying this laptop? Hello fellow basilers, On Monday, I attended my University orientation day for the Bachelor of Architectural Studies course I will be taking which will commence next Monday. With all the new gadgets I have spent large sums of money on, my mum has been looking into purchasing me a laptop - fixated on the Apple brand because the University seems to work around Mac computers. Lately, she has been looking at [url=http://www.apple.com/nz/macbook-pro/specs-retina/]this one[/url] - the 15" NZD$3,298 laptop. Here are the specifications of the computer. The ones I have bolded are the ones that are being customised as a part of purchasing the laptop. -[b]2.7GHz Quad core Intel i7 processor with 6MB shared

Spontaneously received 10,000 Nx I had been offline for a couple days primarily because I couldn't do much but just sit there. I thought one day that while I can't attack, I can do things like professions without the aggravation of disconnecting. I decided to earn the legend coins from that. Not too long ago, I had received a miracle cube from a surprise box so I thought I'd cube my 3-lined SMG. I enter the cash shop and something's wrong. I look down at my NX and I suddenly have 10,000 more than I did originally. Confused, I decided to investigate so I went to my 'review purchase' page and saw that the 10k NX was from a prepaid event. I hadn't recently purchased any NX so I'm not sure how I could've gotten it. Should I even be using it con

Continuous disconnection with no notification About two – three days ago, I recently started experiencing a constant disconnection from the game server. This is unusual because I have never had this before. I’m currently using Windows 7 which I am well aware has a history of problems with compatibility with Maplestory. The thing is; I’ve had Windows 7 ever since I brought the computer (which was a couple years ago) and I’ve never experienced a problem with it EVER until now. The disconnection is really getting on my nerves now because I can only stay on the game for maybe a few minutes before I get kicked off. There is absolutely NO message appearing so I can’t understand why it would be happening. [header=0][b]Things I have tried

My Bsod scare [header=0][b]For future reference, BSOD stands for 'Blue Screen of Death'[/b][/header] A couple minutes ago, I decided to take a break from training and try some PvP action. I joined a couple games of team battle; one that had almost finished and one that had just begun. I begin fighting in my 2nd match (Getting owned terribly, only denting the opposition's HP) and then all of sudden, my computer freezes and the BSOD appears. I instantly freak out and begin to manually shut down my computer because I thought it read that it was deleting my files (I know it's not good, but it's the first thing I think of.) After the scare, I restart my computer in 'safe mode' and do a quick virus check. I change it into 'normal mode' and did a

Need help reducing lag Hello, I played a good deal of Nexon games including Dragon Nest, Maplestory, Mabinogi and Combat Arms. Since yesterday, I’ve been playing Combat Arms on and off because of the black Friday sales. Now the problem I have isn’t really that new – it’s being an on-going problem I’ve had for a great deal of time. Whenever I play an online game hosted by Nexon, I always seem to have an unbearable amount of lag that does not allow me to do much and in games where lag can be the major factor between dying and living such as Combat Arms and Dragon Nest, it is very important that I try to find the problem and find a remedy to get rid of it. I have been working on reducing the lag such as deleting some games that I no

Combat Arms or Mabinogi [b]**Edit: Please move down for summary of thread**[/b] In advance: I apologise if this is the wrong section for this thread. If so, please move it to the appropriate section of basilmarket or delete it if it has no other place in the forum. Hello guys, Out of the blue, I have come across 25,000 NX because my mum brought it for me because my brother got some as well (He probably badgered her to do it because he’s turning into a nx freak, but not the bad nx freak). Because I don’t rely on NX to get my damage up in Maplestory and I really don’t play it very much anymore, I’ve decided to use it on one of two games that I still play that Nexon cash works on; Combat Arms and Mabinogi. I got back into Mabinogi only

My parents have decided to split I won't go into much detail, but after another fight my parents have decided to go their seperate ways. My father has gone back to his parents and my mother is staying here in Auckland. I've been told that my father plans on selling the house (We have a unit on the side of our house which belongs to my Nanna and Poppa so they'll have to move out) and that he is going to his parents to sort out what he is going to do. I've never thought of my father doing such things, but I can't help but worry that this is what is actually happening. Being myself, I am always full of emotions and my mum has this way of thinking that this is life; if it happens, it happens. I obviously don't feel that way because I've just be

I just watched Sucker punch and this is the first movie that my mind can't get wrapped around (This is coming from someone that completely got Inception). From the people who have watched it so far, what did you think of it? Why did you want to watch it? Also, what were your expectations for the movie and did they change afterwards? [header=0][b]Q: What did I think of it?[/b][/header] A: I think in the aspect that it was one big metaphor for her fight in the place she was in, it was actually quite a magnificent movie in that aspect. I feel that the idea of the heavy fight scenes made me forget what the movie was really about. Overall, if I had to rate it out of 5, I would give it a 4 - but only because of its excellent use of imagery and sy

Halo map testers wanted [b][i]Before I begin, I apologise if I have chosen the wrong forum section to place this up. If a moderator could please move it to the appropriate section if that be the case. If there is no other forum, then just delete it[/i][/b] Hello all, I have recently played around with Forge World and have created a map known as 'Battlefield'.
