    Torchlight 2, My Impressions... (updated: 5/10/12 with Final Impressions)

    We already know the answer to question 2. The reason is because people bought this game from other sources not just steam. So in order to get everyone to play together with one friends list they made the runic account. Many people bought the game from runic directly and don't use steam.

    Upgrade my system or rebuild

    I don't think I need to go to Xeon since my current CPU is fine for what I do in work. I hadn't thought of virtualization but that might be a good idea. I have 2x4GB ram now how would upgrading to 16GB help me though? My other question is with a game like Skyrim that is very cpu bound won't I...

    Upgrade my system or rebuild

    My current PSU is a 750watt CORSAIR. My current case is antec Nine Hundred For the test box I just wanted to try some different linux distributions. Setup a game server/apache server/teamspeak server. I dunno just test some random things without fear of ruining any actual data.

    1. What YOUR PC will be used for? Gaming, Work(Software development), Media(Photoshop, etc), Movies. I am currently playing Deus Ex Human Evolution, will be playing Skyrim with alot of mods next. Also have played things like Crysis, Batman, Civ 5, etc. I work as a software engineer and...

    So Steam offline mode is not actually an offline mode?

    you have to first be online to initialize offline mode the first time. Then you are clear to use offline mode whenever you want. If they allowed offline mode without verifying anything than you could give everyone your games with no protection against it.

    What PC game demos blew you away?

    The Fear demo for sure was one that I played and told myself this is awesome. There is another game that I can't remember the title of that had multiplayer in the demo and I ended up just playing the demo multiplayer for many months without getting the game.

    My Steam Account Got Banned..

    Doesn't Even Balance do Punk Buster and not VAC. Punkbuster most definitely has false positives but VAC certainly does not. 1 = 1 If you have COD_4_HACK.exe running and VAC sees it than its a ban that is all it does.

    Triple Monitor with Integrated video?

    Off one graphics card no its not possible. Only just recently have we seen triple monitors off one graphics card and that is with ATI's recent cards. An integrated graphics would not be able to do it.

    Laptop to watch Hulu

    Thinking about getting my mother a laptop for her birthday. She watches hulu and likes to play flash games, Farmville, bejeweled etc. Her current laptop(2 years old) lags horribly while doing flash things so I want to make sure the cpu I get on this laptop is up to the challenge. I recently...

    The AT Battlefield Bad Company 2 F.A.Q.

    I agree I wish DICE would fix auto team balance because it does not work at all. No matter the team sizes people can switch to whatever side they want. So what happens all to often on my server is people will start switching to the winning side and then the teams become unbalanced. Then I have...

    At my wit's end with Steam.

    A better analog is to buy a shitty THQ game at Best Buy. Would you stop buying games from Best Buy or would you stop buying games from THQ. Steam = Best Buy THQ = THQ

    The AT Battlefield Bad Company 2 F.A.Q.

    Don't think that is the case because I am only 15 and the person I killed was at least 20 when I killed him and I only got a silver. Maybe it a range of people close to you like 5 below and above is silver. I am skeptical of that too though because I have killed people above me in level at like...
