I have to have a top of the line computer because I'm a internet psychic advisor. I make money with my computer and I like to do gaming and play games like Crysis.


Here in Beverly Hills,CA so many people are having their computers built through Maingear, which cost over $8,700-way over my budget.


I want another desktop for my bedroom. Would I save that much money if I build my own? Is it hard to build my own if I have no experience?


All of you out there, please let me know your opinions.
Thanks.

Internet psychic. Oh, no, one of them money-grubbing charlatans. Psychics of any description are right up there with the Scientologists on my list of 'parasitic organisms deserving of utter contempt'.

If you really were psychic you'd know not to post such idiotic drivel as that in the Other, instead keeping it in General Homebuilt or some similar moron-trap section of this forum. But of course, you have to prove you're a charlatan by saying 'I'm an internet psychic' and posting computer-related garbage here, in a section where we even have a special sticky just for scum-sucking trash such as yourself to read where the opening post reads something like 'NO COMPUTER TALK! just go away...'

But of course, we're a psychic, we're special, so we don't need to observe (or even attempt to find out) the rules, yes? Instead, just because we're special, we can ignore the rules, yes? Well, I'm going to also ignore certain rules - rules of diplomacy, tact, common courtesy... that whole 'do unto others' thing that the rest of you human scumballs just love to pretend doesn't exist while satisfying your own selfish desires and be damned to anyone you screw over while doing so.

So kindly get out of this section of the forums, preferably by killing yourself using a convoluted method involving an anthill, some sulphuric acid, a small Jack Russell terrier, and several meters of steel rope under tension. You can score bonus points by getting it filmed and posted onto Youtube, you subhuman gormless goit.

Normally I'm a lot nicer, except it's been a lousy month. I've just come out of a rather abusive relationship, I'm down a small fortune on getting a dent and several rather deep scratches out of the fender of my collector's item Coupe Quattro - which is the FIRST damage that car has received in TWENTY FOUR YEARS - courtesy of the abusive biatch I was dating, my pedigree Norwegian Forest cat's partially traumatised (also courtesy of the biatch - she didn't reserve her abuse for me alone, but rather extended it to my pets and personal possessions - my fish aren't happy with life either), and I feel like there's a turd stuck somewhere in my small intestine after it went exploring after deciding that my colon is no longer a good place to be, and the country I live in has a stupid idiotic self-serving government that used to be a terrorist organisation, and we're in a recession, so I'm not in a good mood.

My opinion is as follows: get the hell out of this section because what you just received from me is a light fondling compared to the thorough raping you'll receive if you hang around. On second thought, hang around - watching you get brutally raped, sodomised, beaten, shredded, compacted, and generally abused might just improve my mood.

[G] DIE, NOOB, DIE! [/G]

Have a nice day.

Damn. Another troll.

You just want me to post more of your gimp photos in the UK General.

Thank you.

Yes. Yes she did...

...damn. Now my train of thought is off the rails and between the hills...

Joy. Another useless oxygen consumer.

@Mugz.

I actually think we should be allowed these peoples address' and actually be allowed to rape them.

Not only will it stop them sitting down and typing, but you get your anal rocks off so to speak!

Everyone's a winner.
