    Unreal (Tournament) Anthology -- $5 at GoGamer

    I picked this up a couple weeks ago when it was going for $10 and that was an awesome deal. Its robbery at 5 bucks. Things always get cheaper after I buy them. I remember playing UT99 on a 350Mhz PII, 4Mb integrated video, aaand dial-up....ping was horrible and I couldn't kill anyone b/c of...

    No video display

    I just had this same issue (no display) at work about an hour ago on a Dell. Orange A & B diagnostic lights pointed to RAM issue. I took one ram stick out and it booted...swapped that one out for the second one and it booted fine....put both sticks back in and its fine....just needed to be...

    Random sound clips playing on my computer

    I'm no HJT expert, but it looks like your system has a purtty good infection going on. Looks like you are running Vista, is that correct? If not, and are running XP...google the programs "smitfraudfix" and "lspfix". You will want to run SFF in safe mode...it is a spyware malware removal tool...

    Problems since using a 22 inch Dell Monitor

    Random freezing or only when using certain program/s? Check Windows event viewer for any system or application errors. Could be an app error in there related to the oovoo....haven't heard of that, but it could be buggy if its fairly new software...wouldn't think it would lock the whole system...

    Why are old people hired as security guards??

    I would like to know whats up with that as well. Of the 4 or 5 security guards at my work, only one of them is somewhat young, and he is a solid 300 pounds (no offense to the vertically challenged) with a belt holding his radio and 8 bajillion keys. So at about 300 + 20lbs in keys, I don't think...

    Viking: Battle for Asgard

    warcow - thanks for taking time to write a quick review...you have bumped the status of this game back up to rent worthy, for me. I know most hacknslash games don't have much, if any, replay value(DMC4 & GoW the exceptions)...I know no MP, but any replay value on this one?

    Viking: Battle for Asgard

    The developer is indeed, creative assembly. I've never seen a game that doesn't have music in it...WTF? I never thought this would be purchase worthy, but from the sound of it, I wouldn't even rent it.

    Viking: Battle for Asgard

    From the few vids I've seen, it looks God of War-ish (of which I'm a big fan) and was wondering if anyone could provide any opinions/info on this game

    $7 MSI X1550 at Newegg

    Just ordered one. Thanks OP! Heads up... If you search for "x1550" it will bring up the 256mb onboard version, which is only two bucks more than the 128mb version and the rebate is good for it as well.

    UT3

    I played the demo a few times and was disappointed in the server browser interface. Was that improved with the full game + patch? I'm mostly interested in if they put the 'Open IP' option on there, so you can connect directly to a buddy's game?? I didn't see it in the demo unless I'm extremely...

    weird battlefield 2 issue

    Did you download and install the latest patch? I think the latest is 1.41. I would try installing/reinstalling the patch. I had this issue one time, but was only after I started using a no-cd patch....if you're using one of these then I would say that is the culprit. This game has been a little...
