Thought I'd run this past you guys. Bought a house last year, Cctober 7th 2016. A tree fell on my house in February 2017. (110v wires are in attic crawlspace). No electrical problems until about three weeks ago. It seems to be limited to my office. I have wiring experience. I'm wondering whether I should hire an electrician, an inspector, or complain to my energy company. Mains voltage: 118v during the day, 114.5v during the night (barebones minimum, I know) in my office. Around three weeks ago, there was a sudden brownout. (Not used to this being on Seattle City Light) Lights dimmed once- thought nothing of it. Lights came back to normal- and dimmed once again. Computer shut down- signifying a voltage drop below 110v. Called my new power company (Puget Sound Energy), and they denied any problem. Told me I had a loose 110 Neutral wire in my breaker box, because my 220 appliances worked fine. Since it was momentary, I called bullshit on their excuse. Sure enough, my Kill-A-Watt showed 113- compared to the normal 117v. Checked the outage map after the call- Over 1,300 people were without power in my area. Tonight, my power in my office went out again. There are over 7,000 reported outages, but none in my area. I noticed the lights dimmed while I was outside on the phone with 911 reporting a domestic disturbance. I was chatting with Carbonautics on Steam before I stepped out. When I came back in, the power was on, but my computer was off. I was going to call my power company until I noticed... another computer of mine on a different circuit had 13days uptime. It uses less power... but it made me wonder. I have rewired the telecommunications but not the electrics. It is dated between 1967 and 1980. There are no signs of severe circuit overload (buzzing- or "BONG" noise signifying a wire bouncing or harmonically vibrating ). I have a two-pole circuit box. 110v (for mains voltage) and 220v (for range/oven and dryer). The 220v circuits are dedicated, and the 110v are "cheater circuits". However, my office is the only one on the circuit using power- and less than 5 amps. I noticed that the old outlets in my house were wearing out when I bought the place, so I replaced them. The old outlets had ground wires resting on the outlet box, I made sure to use a direct connection with drip-loop to every outlet- hoping to eliminate arc-fault scenarios. It seemed to work great. But now, a year later... I'm wondering if I made a mistake somewhere. I know daisy-chain circuits and cheater breakers are frowned upon, but they've worked well for a year. I really don't use that much power. I guess my question is whether you think my power company or my wiring is at fault. I believe it is my power company, but it seems like my brownouts are limited to my office (though it does use the most current), and as such I wonder if I made a wiring fault.

Few words before starting: Most of Insurgency servers are protected by VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat), however in addition to that more and more servers (especially true for PvP) also enable BattlEye. What is it? In addition to VAC, NWI has chosen BattlEye as its anticheat system for Insurgency. It has been added the 22sd of February during one big update of their game. During the install of this update most users should have BattlEye installed without any issue. However this program might be blocked by some antivirus program (in my case AVAST was blocking it). With Battleye blocked, it is impossible to join a server which has BattlEye enabled. (such as our =F|A= #3 PvP COMBAT server ) This is where my tutorial kicks in! 1) Go in your antivirus settings, and add in your exeption list this entire folder: By default it's (C:)\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\insurgency2\ (This may vary of course, in my case steamapps folder is installed on (D:) HDD.) (insurgency2 = That's the name of Insurgency's main folder) 2) Once done, go to this folder: ...\steamapps\common\insurgency2\BattlEye\ 3) Open this file "Install_BattlEye" (launch it) 4) You're done! Now you can join without any issue!

The first image for Assassin’s Creed, the film adaptation of Ubisoft’s hit action adventure title, is out and actor Michael Fassbender certainly fits the look of an Assassin. You’d think the man has had some experience playing the game but when speaking to Entertainment Weekly, he revealed this wasn’t the case. “I hadn’t played it before these guys approached me.” The good news is that Fassbender did start playing the game later. “I’ve played it since [being offered the job] mainly to get an idea of the physicality of the character. “We’re striving to find something special. We believe the whole concept around it is special and want to service that the best we can. The fans are really passionate: very specific and they expect accuracy and historical detail. We’re really trying to capitalize and feed on and enjoy the fun element. We’re working hard to make this something special.” Source http://gamingbolt.com/assassins-creed-film-actor-never-played-game-before
