Really? I'm sure it is in there, but maybe only in the multiplayer section, as that's where I played it. Hehe, yeah, definitely, I can see that happening. The car dynamics are a bit weird, but, like you said, when you get used to it, it is definite blast. :) The pictures were still pretty...

Yeah, I had heard the same. He is a big RTS guy and he's been wanting us to get for a while. lol, that definitely would be disappointing. I haven't played it enough to lose, but it is supposed to be extremely balanced, from what my friend told me. Maybe it has its moments. I'm sure in a...

I know what you mean. And,if it passes that, it is 110% stable so you can usually rule it out when you have an issue. ~Ibrahim~

It was made by Stardock, the guys with all the fancy little Windows visual stuff. Supposed to the new wave of games: DRM-free. You literally pop in the disc to install, no CD key, never need the CD again. Love it. I'm not a big fan either, especially because they can take super-long to play...

Oh, snap. :o:o:o:o:o I definitely thought that said Techgage. Wow, sorry, lol. Really? Huh, well, I guess that makes sense, different architecture and all, but you'd think a CPU was a CPU. Ah....we get the striped down version. Makes sense. I heard Thermalright issuing a statement that...

Hehe, good to be around. :) Really?! That sounds ridiculous. Now that would be a torture test, lol....Wasn't LINPACK originally an Intel creation or something? Off-topic, but kudos, you guys got a little snippet in that recent Anandtech article about SSDs: LegitReviews was one of the first to...

Hehe, no problem. :) It went nicely. We didn't get into as much FPS as we would've liked, but we're reserving that for our next LAN. We ended up playing over 6 hours of Sins of a Solar Empire...We meant to only play one round (they're epic long to begin with), but ended up doing two, lol. Damn...

Well, in the same sense, a failed LINPACK test doesn't equate with an unstable processor. I've seen processors that fail Prime95 within a few hours, but have never exhibited any other instabilities. LINPACK only furthers that, so that by being an even more stressful program, it stretches the...

Sweet review. I only wish it wasn't so expensive, but you get what you pay for, definitely. EDIT: Never mind, missed that paragraph after the picture. :) ~Ibrahim~ P.S. Glad to see LINPACK used. That test is a mofo monster, for sure.

Nice. Interesting as I'm about to have a LAN at my house tonight. I actually like the movie idea, but we might be gaming until we leave, lol. One little thing: "or beer if your me". That needs to be: or beer if you're me. It's the contraction you need, not the possessive. A comma might be...

I'll be honest, I've been thinking some more about it. I'm not exactly sure if the Z-5500's would be the *best* option for a laptop and a XBOX 360; these speakers are nearly home theater replacements. Ugh, I almost wish there was a way you could compare them before you could buy... ~Ibrahim~

Monoprice has the cheapest cables from any site I've ever seen and excellent quality. They're so good, I'm not exactly sure how they operate at a profit, lol. Apparently, the XBOX VGA HD AV cable is all you need for the XBOX itself. It has VGA (which you can directly plug in or use a DVI->VGA...

I picked up a dirt-cheap optical cable for a few bucks over at monoprice.com, if you're looking. Blasted MS, always taking money for things that should already be there. I'm about to shell out a good amount of money for a wireless adapter for my brother's 360. ~Ibrahim~

I own the Z-5500's and they are beastly. Meaning they are huge and put out a considerable amount of power. I cannot put the volume up more than half-way for anything, really. It just gets too loud for my small room. From my extensive research, these are the best 5.1 speakers available (for...

How can I check if the remote will work with my TV? I have a notoriously off-brand TV, Mintek. I have searched high and low looking for the remote code, which cannot be found to this date. You mentioned something about the remote picking up codes or something like that? How it could be used...
