    How is Tabula Rasa?

    I never got past the beta for Auto Assault... I was hoping for a OnePass type deal at that time and if they'd released it, I might have bought AA, but the beta was underwhelming. Once you got over the fact that it was cars fighting instead of "toons", the bugginess and broken quests just turned...

    Sega Dreamcast Iomega Zip Drive On eBay

    I love that games like Skies of Arcadia have been re-released on the PS2-gen systems and many people think they're beautiful new releases. Shenmue was an excellent game, even if I didn't appreciate the lack of ending in the first one. I was stunned that a game -required- a sequel to finish the...

    Sega Dreamcast Iomega Zip Drive On eBay

    Yeah, I love my Dreamcast (and I have the Dreamcast emulators for all the older systems, like NES, Genesis, SNES, etc.). I thought it would catch on big, before the marketing might of the Sunny Company (SONY) playstationed it out of existence. It beat playstation hands down in everything from...

    How is Tabula Rasa?

    Yeah, I tried that, it just moved me around the turret (longtime CoX player, so I use it a lot). I recently gave up on my weapons seeing that as a recruit/specialist ammo costs were annoying but unarmed did the -same- damage (albeit not in a cone or AoE)... but the cones cost more ammo. The...

    I already have one, mwahahaha!

    EVE Online Coming to Mac and Linux

    I suppose. Paying to not play a game just doesn't work for me. ;-)

    CONTEST: Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa® Beta Keys!

    Good to know. I have checked Techgage in the past for a couple of reviews, but had never registered on the forums until I heard about this contest. Thanks guys!

    PC Bioshock Demo

    I don't reccommend this demo. While it does serve as a decent gameplay trainer... it has only tenuous links to the story and is very little like the actual game itself. This is mainly due to the demo being based on a snippet of the game from an earlier version, one that was being developed...

    How is Tabula Rasa?

    Buggy and beta-lagged: I had an enemy turret spawn on me while I was standing in it's location... I couldn't move until another player came by and destroyed it. Luckily, with it only being in beta, there seemed to be 100+ players in the same initial zone, so that only took about 3 minutes...

    Somebody Hates Bioshock! (Not SecuROM related)

    I suppose in a world of 6 billion, statistically there had to be one. I agree with one point, though, see if you can guess what it is. Hint: I like permadeath.

    EVE Online Coming to Mac and Linux

    So... you're paying to play EVE, but you're playing the NCSoft Free-to-Play game Guild Wars? Wow, I've been playing MMOs since... well my first was NightmareLPMud, then Armageddon.org... and eventually those newfangled graphical ones like Everquest and I still don't see the benefit. :wink:

    Need help with motherboard

    Yeah, sounds like incompatible RAM to me. Although that trick about the BIOS sounds more like someone who figured out the RAM was bad, but didn't realize what it was... so he made up a reasonably 'believable' response. I usually stick to Crucial or PNY RAM (high end/low end) mainly because...

    Tabula Rasa- Slaughtered

    Although I can draw my own conclusions when I log in the first time tonight (Thank you Techgage!), this review from gamespot leaves me a bit frightened.

    New Bill to Clarify Cellphone Contracts

    Actually, I think any program with a commitment longer than 30 days should require upfront outlines. Including credit cards and redemption.

    Virginia Tech shooter didn't play violent games

    Sonic the Hedgehog? Are you sure it wasn't Jazz Jackrabbit. ^_~ I think the big thing that they picked up on was how much he idolized the Columbine Massacre, and there was some mention of the homebrew game in the media at the time.

    The Ups the Downs... It's Gamestop!

    It does play a lot better with a Gamepad... and my brief experience with the trial taught me that most people just use the language-barrier breaking emotes instead of speak to one another, anyway. Which turned me off entirely. Gamestop managers used to have a lot more latitude in who they...

    EA To Acquire Mythic Entertainment

    Warhammer was largely developed after the EA/Mythic merger. Original thread is a little old, but that game is shaping up quite nicely, I hear.

    EA To Acquire Mythic Entertainment

    Probably sports players. EA and the Madden Franchise have invested a lot in stifling innovation in sports games. Much the same with Blizzard, many developers fear the 8-ton gorilla in the room and don't want to compete in their markets.

    EVE Online Coming to Mac and Linux

    Biggest timesink ever, and it doesn't even require you to be online to sink your time. As long as you are willing to pay the subscription fees, you can gain skill simply by changing your learning (logging on 5 minutes a day or less). I don't think this is a good idea for them, as new players...
