So, my current PC is an Acer M3970, in order for my motherboard to be able to work with Ivy Bridge, it would need to update to a newer BIOS version, however there is no BIOS version that works with my motherboard that also is compatible with Ivy Bridge. It's possible I'm misunderstanding something, but I'm 100% sure that my current BIOS version (P02-A2) is the best I can get, and based on this list here: https://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/support-product/3673?b=1 it looks like the only BIOS that supports Ivy Bridge is P03.A3 (which again, I'm positive is not something that will work with my motherboard)

The way I understand it, is I need an older generation of CPU so that it will work with my motherboard and BIOS, because there is no way for me to get a BIOS that supports Ivy Bridge.

If you want all the information, Setsul posted my old thread where you can read about how I've been dealing with this situation for the past 7 months, but I thought I'd make a new thread because there's a lot of extra stuff in that thread that isn't important and is a waste of time to read.

So, a few months back I bought an Intel i7-3770 hoping to upgrade from my old CPU and get some better fps. Unfortunately, since that time I have come to the conclusion that my computer's BIOS isn't compatible with Ivy Bridge, and I'm unable to upgrade to a BIOS version that is compatible with Ivy Bridge. So now I'm looking for a CPU that isn't Ivy Bridge that is comparable to the CPU I had originally bought. If that's not something that's possible, then I'm looking to get as close as possible to the i7-3770 in performance without Ivy Bridge.

If it helps anyone I found a list of CPU's that don't use Ivy Bridge, but I'm not sure what the power of any of these are going to be.

On a related note I'll soon be selling an Intel i7-3770 so feel free to add me if you're interested.

As a stats nerd, you are actually the greatest.

Nah but actually cereal is at like the bottom of the breakfast heiarchy, if I can't have like eggs or toast or something I'll probably just eat Cheerios.

I saw a reddit post like 2 years ago where someone put "dispenser took 6 push last". Lots of people gave him shit for it, but I thought it was hilarious.

Tino and I are going to go to this if we can find one more person to make a team with. Nothing super serious but should be a fun way to spend a weekend. Add me if you're interested.

Slin has a good video I usually send people when I see this question get asked: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DVHcKTg5r0

What I did, and what Slin recommends in his video, is to just start doing low level casts and put them in a place where maybe not a lot of people are going to watch them, but still somewhere you can show people to get feedback. For instance I solo casted 3 or 4 seasons of Open and UGC on my own personal channel, where I didn't get many views, but I would send the casts to the teams that were playing, and they would be able to give me feedback. One thing I learned doing this is that low level teams LOVE to be casted, and generally won't be too harsh if you're still new at casting.

Also just to talk about #4's point on needing experience, lots of good play by play casters (in TF2 and otherwise) aren't actually very good at the game at all. When I started casting I had literally 0 comp experience, it took a lot of time and effort to learn the game, but I do believe you can get up to the knowledge level required without playing if you're looking to do play by play. For colour casting however you will for sure need some decent experience, if you don't fully understand what's going on as a colour caster you're going to mess things up and people are going to catch you on it.

Both tftv and ESEA adjust the time displayed to your timezone, and it's working fine for me, so maybe something on your end?

Midget penises are the same size as normal penises because dwarfism is a bone disease.

That's a weird fucking whitelist too. Banning stuff like the back scratcher, and warriors spirit but not shit like crit a cola, or quickfix. It's like the just put all the unlocks on a dart board and the first 20 weapons to get hit got banned.

Still might be lft for this tho considering how rare it is to have a lan within driving distance of me.

There are literally 2 matches scheduled this week and we're casting both of them.

Also I assure you the only thing that factors into the decision for which game to cover is how close the teams are, and if we have staff available.

Every sugestion in this thread is terrible. If you seriously can't think of something that relates to you, and is pronounceable, just google a random word generator and mash together the first two words you get. I just did 5 as examples: DieselChart, PotentialProduction, WalkingKidnapping, ColourFear.

Most of those are bad, but they're all better than JW321123.
