I also have a keyboard where I gotta smash down my finger to get the "v", "c" and "a" to work, that story is related to another game called Starcraft though, lol. |

Thanks. After doing a bit of messing around with the comp here, I find out that 3 of the 15 pins on the connector are missing.... hmmm, could THAT be why this one isn't doing too well ? I think so. Hopefully, I'll be getting a better monitor on Friday.
Ah yes.... The wonderful world of Starcraft.... Do you happen to play on Battle.net by any chance?

Is it just me or do all monitors have that? Strange, really, the 2 monitors at my dad's office are both missing a few pins. So is this one.

Well, that particular monitor was made in early '95..... + I'd gotten it used, so that was to be expected that it wouldn't be perfect....

My monitor is from 1997 and has flickered red in the past, but I don't have that problem now. It's also missing a few pins.
Same with the office monitors and they're from 2002, I imagine....

I've played WC3 for a while...I still have it on my computer...its a really fun game, but I honestly prefer Starcraft for its space futuristic units. I've been playing Warcraft ever since the first one came out, so I'm kinda bored of medieval units, heh. I got to lvl 9 on WC3 pretty fast and I think I can handle lvl11 skilled people (some), but I stopped playing it about a month ago to start SC again. I might get back into WC3, but probably after summer. What suks is that I'm gonna lose alot of my skill from now till I start wc3 again (I already lost alot of it since I don't remember Night Elf strats). I probably can't beat a lvl 6 now, lol.
If you ever get on SC, my SN are hobbes and hobbez

I was climbing steadily to level 20, but then (at level 19) I gave the game up, about half a year ago . Yea we should play some SC, Ill just have to get organized and check battle.net. Not sure when It'll happen, but it sounds interesting

Warcraft III's decent.
iirc..... the highest level I've reached was 5 Random Team. I've pretty much given up on it though. Just don't care enough.
