May 7, 200915 yr After feeling a bit bad for my neighbours, the acoustic drum set has been exiled to a mates shed out in the stix and this is now on it's way from Yamaha. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCAQyTPQ7Tw]YouTube - Athanasios Tsoukas presenting the Yamaha DTXPRESS IV Special[/ame] Should have it by early next week and can then jam away day or night for all time. Here is a list of particularly awesome things: dogs sniping very spicy chilli cat claws on people (but still cool on cats)
May 7, 200915 yr Very nice. Why the ASUS PSU though? What case btw? http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee94/psyrus_uraya/awards-1.png QFT: Your computer is smart man. It tells you not to play the second worst PR map [burning Sands] (first is Wanda Shan). QFT: if you dont get pissed off when you lose you dont care enough

May 8, 200915 yr Not So much toys, but part of my loadout for Laser Skirmish. Truspec TRU Multicam BDU and a RRV with MAP (Backpack) http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/antszandcyndi/Antsz%20Pics/DSCF4422.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/antszandcyndi/Antsz%20Pics/DSCF4420.jpg Edited May 8, 200915 yr by soulnsurf
May 8, 200915 yr Very... Smoov. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ee/US_Army_E-2.svg/50px-US_Army_E-2.svg.png http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/4927/awardslf0.png
May 8, 200915 yr Sweet loadout there Smoov, I like the plate-carrier. But why god why did you go multicam? AusCam FTW! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
May 8, 200915 yr Multicam FTW Base, but IMO I reserve the Auscam for our Diggers, like yourself Base (Almost there) until I can earn the right to wear our dpcu and rising sun. But doesnt say I look down upon those who wish to wear them regardless they are part of the ADF, its just how I feel about it. On the other note i will like to a set of Platatac Digi Auscam, works really well in our bush here in Melbourne.

May 8, 200915 yr I've got toys from both worlds http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/9561/dsc00363err.th.jpg My 2005 setup: AMD Opteron 165 DFI Lanparty UT Sli-dr 2gb OCZ Platinum series RAM Leadtek 7800gtx (was wanting to buy a 2nd in around 06 but its price never went down) Western Digital 200gb Antec Truepower2 550w PSU Dell 2405FPW 24" monitor Logitech G5 and a crappy dell wireless keyboard that came with the monitor Logitech x530 speakers -------------------- http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/4981/dscf0173f.th.jpg 2007 setup: Same specs as 2005 but with an additional 24". It was when I started taking up CAD professionally and just couldn't work without a movie going on as I worked.. but still I wrote it off as a business purchase --------------------- http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/6808/image079c.th.jpg 2009 setup: Intel i7 920 Asus P6T Deluxe V2 OCZ 6gb 133mhz Platinum RAM Sparkle GTX285 2TB Western Digital Hard drives (My 3dsmax library alone takes up 750gb) Corsair HX620w PSU Dell 3008FPW 30" LCD - gave my 24" to my sister Logitech G5 + Razer Lycosa Mirror keyboard Logitech X-530's --------------- CHECK OUT MY VOLCANO!: http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/6924/dscf0177p.th.jpg ----------------------- Meanwhile, in the other world... http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/2317/img1849y.th.jpg Hiking in the Watagans, NSW. Platatac SAW Vest and a Platatac 72hr RAID pack. http://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/merc.bmp On the topic of shiny auscam... the sound they made while bush walking made it seem like I was doing mean things to little furry animals inside my pants
May 8, 200915 yr How do you find the SAW vest Scrim? I always thought it looked like the Minimi pouches would be a pain when you went prone - but then, how often do you have to go prone when Hiking??? Platatac make good gear though [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
May 8, 200915 yr On the other note i will like to a set of Platatac Digi Auscam, works really well in our bush here in Melbourne. I drool about them before I sleep:sweat: and you're right, digicam (doesn't even have to be auscam) works unbelievably well. (I'm in Syd). http://bigdgaming.net/images/added/awards/merc.bmp On the topic of shiny auscam... the sound they made while bush walking made it seem like I was doing mean things to little furry animals inside my pants
May 8, 200915 yr Yeah, i've often thought about getting a SAW vest for mtb camping rides. Was told that you can wear the SAW with an ALICE pack. Have the latter (got it when in Scouts) and is still in mint condition (i look after my stuffs (o; ). Never had a chance to try them out together, so Scrim, if you DO get a chance . . . can you let me know? (o: There comes a time in every musician's life when they must decide what instrument they should master. Few. If any are ever worthy enough to master. The cowbell.

I always thought it looked like the Minimi pouches would be a pain when you went prone - but then, how often do you have to go prone when Hiking??? Platatac make good gear though Only reason why I went with the SAW vest was because it was a bit more compatible with the RAID pack than the M83's, etc because of the location of the rear side pouches but in saying that, I would've gone with the SAW vest anyways (i like my CR1M's within easy reach if I've nothing better to put there). I've taken the vest to a few laser skirmishes as well as some training exercises with my school cadet unit (main reason why I bought the set since my old set of webbing was recycled into the Q). I haven't found the pouches to be too impeding but if I could make changes to the rig, I'd remove the rear side pouches and push everything in the front back towards the side leaving MOLLE's at the front Yeah, i've often thought about getting a SAW vest for mtb camping rides.

(o: Sure thing, I guess I could pop into the unit, drop a "Hey guys!" and borrow and ALICE pack. Not in the cadet unit anymore btw, just a supporter.

But doesnt say I look down upon those who wish to wear them regardless they are part of the ADF, its just how I feel about it. Its not about whether or not you deserve to wear it, its damn good camo IMO. The Rising Sun, maybe, but the camo pattern is just that - a pattern. Can somebody link me to this so-called "Digital Auscam"? I'll believe that when I see it. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
May 8, 200915 yr There is pics of it there; http://www.playlaserskirmish.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=455&sid=d2156e513a419baf5ce9edbb845c146c More of a gimmick than anything else. Edited May 8, 200915 yr by ddrptp
May 8, 200915 yr the platactac Digi Auscam was made for police who where training on some Army Bases, to tell the difference who was who on the grounds

May 8, 200915 yr My new toy is a camera hence I can't take pictures of it. Unless I use a mirror. 5DMk1 and 24-105L. http://imgur.com/e5y6e.gif You've already ruined these forums for me, I have no desire to read your rhetoric or the pathetic arguments you get yourself in to, or the personal vendetta you have against me, so please, do not talk to me. Ever. About anything.
