Some more questions for the geek squad! Don't take that the wrong way guys (Geeks).  I'm wanting to become a geek myself and envy those of you with the wherewithall and computer savvy.

I'm going to google and research on the internet but thought I'd ask the Jedi Masters here at ScriptUO some questions about video editing.

Here are the things I'd like to learn how to do:

1) Transfer movies from my DVR to my PC
2) Edit a 'movie' on my PC to create a trailer
3) Be able to post a movie or trailer on youtube
4) How can I download a Youtube Video to my PC? Or Can I even?

Is there a freeware Video program I should be using or can Windows Movie Maker and Media Center do the job?

Too many questions? But I'm just getting started!

I'm wanting to learn how to do some more things and become more computer savvy.

Where to start?

Okay I'm going nuts after spending most of the day trying to get the EC Client to load.

I think I got some kind of virus a day or two ago. I've probably had it awhile. Damn ICQ and Porn! No more ICQ for me...every 2 mins you get SunnyGirl or some russian wanting to add you to their list. Bastards. Your better off just paying for the porn because the cost of to repair the computer is going to be more in the long run.

Yesterday my computer started slowing down and freezing up it would make a click clock..click clock sound. So I hit the on/off button and the PC rebooted which took a good 30 minutes.

Everything seems fine except I cannot get the EC Client to boot. I run the patcher...hit play and the game window attempts to open then immediately closes.

I've run as Admin, downloaded the latest Direct X drivers, downloaded the latest Nvidia Drivers. Downloaded AVG virus scan. Verified Windows Firewall is not blocking EC Client.

So I'm going nuts and bummed I can't play UO. Not sure what my options are at this point since I've tried everything after googling problems all day.

Any computer Geniuses/Guru's have any idea what I might try or what could be going on?

One the one hand I'm starting school in the summer and probably should be putting UO down and get my nose in the books. But as you all know we need our crack plus UO keeps me out of trouble and keeps me from spending money.

The only good thing is I can still run the 2D Client but I just can't play the game in that client. So I can script but I can't adventure.

I had trouble downloading patching the client in 2D as well. C2 had to send me the client!

I really dont' have any spending money to buy a new operating system, buy a new PC or get it repaired. If worst come to worst that's what I'll have to do but afterall I'm a starving student.

Seems like it would be something simple but I can't for the life of me figure it out. Everything else is working fine. 2d Client, Email, Internet etc.

Anyways...if anyone has an idea of what might be going on I'd love to hear your thoughts/suggestions.

Starting toying around with Excel 2000 and put together a spreadsheet for suiting up a sampire. This is the first spreadsheet I've made after reading an online tutorial so any harsh negative feedback and you'll be drawn and quartered. I intended it to be  basic and straight forward. Simple was the main goal.

The spreadsheet can easily be edited to add/replace other desired statistics such as LRC, FC, FCR and SDI. I intended it  to be used for a sampire but can edited to asses any suit you have in mind.

As I learn more Excel I'll post some other spreadsheets. I have a few things in mind when it comes to crafting and imbuing armor.

Updated 9/6/11: Still a work in progress.

This version may only be 2010 Compatible. I'm not 100% sure their may be issues for 2003 & 2007 users.

Added Leather and Wood Armor bonuses under sheets.

Check out this leafblade someone posted on Europa Trade Forum: http://vboards.stratics.com/uo-europa-trade/231945-pc-sampire-suit-weapon.html

He was just soliciting for a price check.

Too bad there isn't a runic crafting system similiar to imbueing where we can pick and choose our mods and weapons like this would be more readily available via valorite hammers.

Does anyone have any solid information or details about the benefits of 120 Fishing?

Screenshots or links to special items that can only be attained as a Legendary Fisherman?

Has any player even reached the status of Legendary Fisherman on any of the OSI shards?

It appears Legendary Fisherman is nothing but Urban Legend!

If you have a 100% Non-Physical Damage weapon (100% Cold,Fire,Poison, Energy) will that avoid the Reflect Physical Damage Property against an opponent in PvP? Or does Reflect Physical Damage...reflect...all melee damage?

If an elemental damage weapon does circumvent Reflect Physical Damage Property how valuable or pivotal would it be in a PvP battle?

Thoughts and feedback appreciated.
