    Alliance of Valiant Arms

    So maybe you want to give A.V.A (Alliance of Valiant Arms) a try?

    First you'll want to head over to the website (http://ava.ijji.com/index.nhn).

     

    Now you have three basic things to do.

     

     

    ONE

     

     

    Now that you are at the website you'll want to go ahead and start downloading the game.

    It's over 1GB, and even though DL speeds are pretty swift, it'll take you 20 minutes to an hour.

    Start by clicking this link.

     

     

    Find the A.V.A download list. I don't recommend the first one because it stopped on me at 94%.

    Once you get that downloaded you'll want to run the install.

     

    TWO

     

     

    Now you'll want to download the Reactor Software.

    Go to the same download page, which you selected a server to downloaded A.V.A from, and scroll to the bottom.

    This is basically ijji's Steam-like program which is used to launch all their games. You'll need it to play A.V.A.

     

    THREE

     

     

    Now you'll want to make an ijji Account.

    If you get this on your first time then you've set a record.

     

     

    It's both picky and tedious in how it wants everything.

    After you fill out all the info, it'll send you an email to verify the account.

    You must verify it in order to play. I recommend using GMAIL; it seems to receive the fastest.

     

    GAME-TIME

     

     

    Once you've installed the ijji Reactor and created the account, launch the Reactor.

    You'll use the account information that you made previously.

    No need for secure logins unless you are on a computer that is not yours.

     

     

    Find and click the A.V.A button.

     

     

    Once you've installed the game you'll click Game Start to launch.

    The first run you'll have to wait 15-30 minutes for updates. You wont have to do this often.

     

     

    From here on, message one of us in X-Fire.

    If you can't find me, add the username Houndf, and I'll help you get everything going hereon out.

    We'll help you get everything setup and show you the ropes.

    Frag-on!

    This game is pretty darn cool. It's a FREE FPS where you can level up to get betting gear or just pay them money to get the gear sooner. The graphics are great, hit detection is on point, plenty of servers and clan matches. Played it for about 2 hours today w/ my =SF= buddies and we did pretty darn good in the clan vs clan matches.

     

    it's ijji so the install is a bit odd, but that's to be expected w/ ijji.

     

    I recommend that everyone at least download it and try it out. it's free and a darn good FPS that can be played at lan events by everyone.

    after careful review of all the information, I went with http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/pdet.t...es&top=true

     

    I looked at the best price/performance and anything better than this that had a significant upgrade was at least $400 more. The ASUS linked earlier was really nice but for the $200 difference I didn't see it, and for $200 I can get a nice case, thumb drive, expedited shipping, and more. Plus the insurance was on sale for this as well (25% off) which widened the gap even more to roughly $300+

     

    hey perhaps it will arrive in time for Saturday's LAN!

    yeah I have a couple nice LCD's already, and I guess I'm trying to get used to the names of all these different video cards for laptops. I am an ATI man but it seems that many laptops are using NVIDA. I was just going for a higher number thinking 360 is better than 260.... but clearly that's not the case. I'm trying to find a grid for NVIDA laptop graphics cards so I can make a better choice.

    I ended up lapping both my Q6600 and my Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme over a year ago. It took me about 3.5 hours total and I went through 220, 400, 800, 1000, 1500 grits on both of them. It was crazy how warped my heatsink was and my Q6600 was a mountain range with a surrounding moat...
