The White Queen

Often times when I press the "reply to this message" link featured at the bottom of the mail containing the message I get sent to the user's profile page but the "message editor" (the white pop-up window on which you type in your reply) does not prompt. Is that because that particular user has disabled the option for them to be messaged or is it something of my doing?

I received a "new" computer from my dear friends. Although it's a lot faster than my old one, there seems to be an issue when I play games, both offline and online. I'll try to explain the issue as best as I can.

When browsing the internet or just my files there's no problem, but once I start up a game I get a delay from both my mouse and keyboard. The mouse-cursor acts as it should but once I give a "command" (e.g. walking, casting, etc.) the "game", as it were, doesn't act out the "command" until after a 0.5 second delay. The same applies to any keyboard "command" (eg. typing, casting, etc.). Though this may sound as virtually nothing it really slows down game play and split-second reflexes are virtually useless. The games themselves run fine: no lag, normal frames, normal ping, etc.

In short, there's an in-game delay between "command" (mouse and keyboard input) and "action" (in-game representation of input).

I have tried:

- Putting all games into the firewall exceptions

- Installing the latest DirectX (DX 11)

- Installing the appropriate graphics card driver(s)

- Putting my mouse and keyboard in different USB ports

Possibly relevant information:

- It's a Logitech wireless keyboard and a Trust wireless mouse. I've had both on my last computer and both gave no problems at all.

- GFX card is a GeForce 8400 GS. Nvidia drivers have been installed.

- The games I've tried/tested it with are Path of Exile (online), League of Legends (online) and Titan Quest: Immortal Throne (offline).

Any ideas are welcome. I've already tried asking multiple people within my vicinity but none seem to have any idea what could be wrong.

I'm an open gay guy, and I've got a guy in my class who annoys the crap out of me. He deliberately refers to me as a women, or at least half a man. I'm not feminine or flaming or anything, about 90% of the people I meet even think I'm straight. Even if I was feminine it wouldn't make me any less of a man, but that aside.

It goes like this. When I sit with some female classmates and he walks over for a talk, he says 'good day ladies'. He throws a big sarcastic smile at me. No 'sorry, just joking' or whatever. Now if he were a good friend of mine, I'd be fine with it. But he's not, he's just a classmate. Now I'm at the point that if he does that one more time, he's gonna get it.

I've got a huge antipathy against ignorant, stubborn people like this. Normally I just let things like this go, but he's annoying the crap outta me and he's gonna be in the same class for the next year.

I was just wondering what you would do in a situation like this. Would you just let it go, give him a piece of your mind, or even get physical and smack him one? Just wondering.

I've recently downloaded Makoto and Mu from PSN for BlazBlue: CS. But I'm still unable to pick them in any mode. I've downloaded them and installed and everything. Can't find the problem myself. Is there something I forgot to do? Something I need? Mu is simply invisible in character selection and Makoto has the lock sign on her.

Anyone have any ideas?

PS: I haven't installed BlazBlue on my PS#, could that be it? (hardly doubt it though, none of my other games needed an install of the game for the downloads to work)

It's an old (what I think to be) anime. It's about a sleeping/comatose girl with long brown hair wearing a white gown/dress. She's being 'driven' around by a floating white pod shaped like a water dinosaur. (think like Lapras from Pokemon) The pod is fleeing from a group who's after the girl for her mysterious powers. On the way it gains aid from allies and new friends. The pod also provides database information to complement the story. Nearing the end at one point the girl awakes from her eternal slumber, and shows her mysterious powers (one being telekinetic powers she uses to throw rocks and rubble (she was also wielding a sword at that time)).

I can't provide any names, and some of the allies/friends have an animal-like appearance, showing multiple species in that world. They also traverse multiple types of environment. (deserts, swamps, mountains, meadow, snow etc.)

Please, if anyone has an idea, that would be perfect.

Thanks in advance!
