Well folks my system is up and running again. Seems I did blow another power supply so there must be something wrong with the wiring down here in the basement. Who knows....
Anyways I'm back and you'll be seeing much more of me so
on-guard... :D
-
Are you using a surge protector? I bought one of those jumbo surge protector/mini battery combo dealies.. so if I lose power it will stay one for a few minutes and it keeps from frying my stuff...
-
Welcome back. I recommend a surge protector/mini battery as well, they rock. Nab one with USB ports if you pick one up.

ANOTHER CLUE!!!
His computer is in the basement...
He will be found.
The search continues...
-
HAH! So, only about HALF of the country has basements.
We're getting closer!
-
LOL, Glad you're back Broin!
-
Yeah, What Safi said! =P w00t!

He can't live in Florida, then. Florida is to low/close to sea level for us to be able to have basements.

Guys just give it up, your not going to find him.

Not with that attitude, Mister!
Welcome back, Broin. :)
-
Hooray! Good timing too, with the new patch!
-
welcome back old chap.

I feel like my post must have gotten deleted because I am sure I posted a quote of Eroz's post.. hmmm.. welcome back either way..

Welcome back Broin!
And that erases my first theory... don't know how this'll help finding him in Disneyland, but occassionally I hear a New Orleans accent leak through when he says words like "roof"... only he can't live in NO because who in NO is dumb enough to have a basement? HOWEVER: New Orleansisiananians are often confused with A. Canadians or B. Urban North Easterners (Brooklyn, Boston, Washington D.C) because they're accents are similar when faint or to untrained ears. I'm going to rule out Canada (because of all the jokes he used to make towards Styan) and stick with my theory that Broin works/lives in the Washington D.C area (possibly Richmond, VA). Also, he just sounds like my uncle who lives around there. The tension in his voice reminds me of someone who has to commute three hours to work everyday in traffic to go do a very important high stress job.
Soo... either he's a beurocratic ninja or ex-CIA working in the Pentagon.
I could be wrong. He could be a high school basketball coach from Missouri.
-
I think he's Andy Wachowski.
-
Yay

what computer do you use broin?

Well last night when we were all playing CS:S I intentionally found a server based far north (Ontario) and gauged people's relative distances based on their latency. Based on the data, Broin is East of the Mississippi and South of the Mason-Dixon line.
Of course if Lithium wanted to provide an IP address..... http://www.formyip.com/ipcountry.php
-
lmao dag ... that stuff wont work he has jammers and rerouters in place... he can make himself seem to be in the congo if he wants :). CIA technology ftw
-
I have already checked his IP but for consideration of his personal privacy I'm not saying anything else, other than that you're still wrong ;)

Well I just don't understand then how he could be from Detroit for two reasons.
1. His latency should have been much better (unless he's on a shitty DSL connection)
2. Detroit is a shitty city to live in/around currently and I don't believe he'd want to raise children there.
Which leads me to believe that maybe he or his ISP are masking his IP address with one that points Detroit.
Given his knowledge of computing technology and profession, and that some ISP's do this already it's not impossible.
I mean just checking some CS:S servers there were some that I knew the physical server was located in VA or NJ while their public IP address would put them in Kansas or Seattle.
-
There were several possible locations, you haven't got the right one yet. As you know it's not uncommon for an ISP to route through several hub areas. Of course, there's guesswork and there's homework, isn't there ;)
-
Pompous limey.
-
Am I seriuosly going to have to stop playing CSS with you guys or MXO?
Seriously...
-
No, apparently I'm just doing guesswork and completely off base. I am pretty sure though, that you watch Fox News.
-
I am indeed a Orielly fan :D
-
That IP trace puts me in Atlanta, Georgia. Another one puts me in Roanoke, though. Not very reliable.
Orielly? You square!
-
I love how everyone is gunning for you Broin, when there are a lot of us no one has any idea about.
-
I think he's Andy Wachowski.
Nice assumption, but their voices are different :P

My apologies Broin. I'll keep my hypotheses to myself from now on. Last thing we'd want you to do is leave us because we're pyscho-stalking you.
-
and this is why we never take women hunting they always scare away the broin... sigh lol j/k of course :) yeah this is kinda going too far lets just meet up in fla and have a good time and if we happen to see him so be it if not ... well we still had fun at disney.
-
i concurr! what is CS? Counter Strike?
-
yes nocry its counter strike
-
Poor Broin....he just can't get a break...people are always hunting him in game(MXo, CSS..etc), and now in real life.
You just can't get a break Broin :)
-
Counter-strike was a lot of fun last night! :D
