Ooph!

Hey, if one has access to a resturant or two and maybe a Fry's Electronics, they're good to go! Here's mine, btw: BFG 5900 128MB

I found a local one quite recently: a ShadowLAN franchise. The room is quite dark with "cool lighting" here and there, with two rows of PC's lining each wall. One wall is bathed in a blue light, the other in red. "Blue Team" and "Red Team" adorn their respective walls, while the BYOC area...

Uninstalling Symantec-anything is tough cookies. It likes to meld itself to the system as several processes and other mischief-makers. It does a good job, though, and one can occasionally get on a deal with a retail store offering Norton Anti-Virus or Internet Security or other products for...

lol, in the grand scheme of things FarCry and HL2 were just released. How can they be classic just a moment later? ;) (btw, howdy DarkSynergy)

Due to technology in the home advancing to such a degree, the 80's/90's arcade culture is largely dead or dying. We have our own arcades in our living rooms, usually with a few consoles and a nice selection of fast-action games which don't demand quarters/dollars/cards each time we load. Are...

I wouldn't say developers have forgotten it so much as they're not really in control of what gets developed. The publishers and execs seem to have the most say over what is pushed through the system and I'd venture to say pretty graphics catch the general consumer eye in new merchandise more so...

Katamari Damacy. While it was certainly quirky and different, it failed to hold me for any length of time. I give them due credit for a good arcade style experience packaged in a whimsicle, if not utterly insane psuedo-Japanese package, but the core gameplay just didn't involve me in the same...

Hype is a harsh mistress.

Creative's taking him hither and yon to various gaming events and massive LAN parties. When I attended QuakeCon last year, participants were able to sign up to face him one-on-one in Quake4 for a chance to win some then-new X-Fi cards sporting his moniker. It wasn't really fair, though, as he...

That fact rather suprised me. Prior to my looking through a prep-book for the test, I had built this legacy of "A+ Cert" in my mind as some kind of holy grail for computer servicers. I'm by no means a tech junkie in which the entirety of my existence revolves around hardware and support, but...

Sony Vegas gets my vote for any and all video editing needs. It's geared for professionals (with a professional price tag to boot), so there's a slimmed down consumer version in the form of Sony Videofactory (comparable or on par with Adobe Premier).

There's been a lot of solid input, but consider that you already have an better-than-average virus scanner in the form of AVG. For being as well-rounded and able as it is, the fact of its FREE nature goes a long way towards hoisting it up with the other top players in the field.

I'll hold out with XP for as long as is feasible. When the eventual transition demands to be fulfilled, I'll probably end up looking for Vista alternatives based on what the gaming terrain is like at the time.

"Twisted Metal 2" and "Age of Empires 2" were both mentioned earlier in the thread. How are these games underrated? I was under the impression they were quite popular and generally acknowledged as very fun games.
