    Computer Shutting Down Randomly

    Thanks guys. I don't have a spare power supply around the house, but I believe the PS is still under warranty, so I can give them a call and see if they'll swap it for a new one. I'll have a close look at the board for any caps that look like they may be going before I head to the store. I...

    Computer Shutting Down Randomly

    I started having a strange issue with my computer a few days ago. It runs fine and then just shuts down by itself. This can happen while gaming, browsing or even when the computer is just sitting idle. When it shuts down, I can start it back up right away without any issues other than the...

    How are these games ?

    The first one was great. It had a really dark feel to it that the others didn't. The later ones were more action oriented. While the controls got better, the series got worse. I never played the fourth one though.

    Baroque and Okami for the Wii

    I got my copy of Baroque in the mail last night. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to try it out. I've heard very mixed opinions on this one though.

    does your ps3 resume on dvd playback if you shut it off?

    Mine does the same thing. I wish there was a way to change this, but I haven't found any information on if/how it can be done.

    Noscript - Extension for Firefox

    I use Adblock Plus and Flashblock. Flashblock is a great extension. It replaces each instance of flash on the page with its own play button. Clicking the a play button will allow that instance of flash to play. You can add sites to your safe list so that you don't need to keep clicking...

    Westinghouse L2410NM vs. Soyo DYLM24D6

    This was a bit of a mess. The initial batch of monitors shipped with specs and manuals indicating a TN panel. From what I understand, these were the initial specs for the monitor, but they switched the panel to M-PVA and didn't update the packaging/manual. They corrected this in later...

    L2410NM now a TN panel?

    The CS response I received seemed switched around to me as well. I figured that they were probably confused so I set out to find one anyways. Best Buy didn't have any floor models, but I managed to pick one up while it was still on sale (the box had the 700:1 contrast and 5ms response specs)...

    IGN Mario Galaxy review=8.2

    Is the $25 TRU giftcard deal only available in the US? I'm in Canada and I went to TRU today to preorder, so I asked about the deal. They had next week's flyer advertising a $20 giftcard if you purchase $100 worth of games (Galaxy being one of the listed games). They had no clue about the $25...

    L2410NM now a TN panel?

    I finally got an update from Westinghouse about the panel on this Monitor. Here it is: ---------------------------------------- The L2410NM uses a TN type panel at 1000:1 contrast ratio. The carton and manual may indicate it was a MVA type panel, but that is not the case. We changed...

    FYI - Price drop on 80GB PS is now in effect. And looks like Motostorm is still bundled in.

    Is this one still backwards compatible? If so, just through software emulation?
