LOL is this a parody thread? " Summer is here, so I joined a gym, excited to go from weak and fat to lean and 200+ bench by the end of august! I'm reading the SL report, using SS app, registered on bodybuilding.com in addition to asking questions here. I'll be treadmilling a lot to burn...

This is the first time I'm chiming in on this board, and I'm only doing it to tell you not to do it! I used to own one of those older bowflexes, and altogether I spent at least one solid year using it. You cannot get a half decent full body workout on it. Almost all exercises are somehow awkward...

Let's take a look at the civ4 genius which civ5 cannot compare to. Stacks of units so big you can't even see what half of the units are, let alone be able to judge how the units and their promotions will perform against your own megastack. Captured Paris with its cathedrals and wonders...

So many people have stories of getting worker rushed, it makes me jealous because it's never been done to me; it's like I'm missing a part of the game. >200 1on1 games played and >800 overall. Not a single worker rush :(

I don't understand what your beef with the game is, Sahakiel. All RTS games are half tactics, half action, and a pinch of strategy. Advanced strategy is not viable until you get the first two things squared away, because if you can't produce the optimum number of units with your resources or...

I'm not a Bliz fanboy whatsoever (more of a hater really), but I've been enjoying enough SC2 to take issue with the OP. Micro/clickfest. I played DoW2 for the first month that it was out and I was good at it. It required more click click click micro than SC2 does to be good. I'm averaging 45apm...

Playing this thing online is like getting caught in a raging tornado (that builds as you get more bases, army, workers) and trying desperately to hang on (keep control of your armies in multipronged attacks while teching, building units and expanding), and the person to flinch and let go first...

I see this sentiment all the time, but I would say that the gaming population expects a lot less nowadays. TF2 aside, these new enlightened shooters all devolve into team deathmatch with no teamwork, with functionally the same gun that is best aimed patiently at a doorway while crouching in a...

More people played Starcraft because it had a preinstalled user base from warcraft2 and a state of the art online matching system. TA was a first effort and had to be played through msn zone. More fans means more money, more polish, more balance etc etc. But you can't get around the fact that...

Whew, having finally read through the whole thread, I must extend heartfelt thanks to the OP for posting this and saving me some money. I've contemplated SLi/Crossfire many times, and probably would have gotten it already if only I had a beefier PSU. At this point I'm ready to file the...

Wow, that's pretty harsh. I would say Supreme Commander doesn't come close to fulfilling its potential, but at the same time I think it's a good game, though something of an acquired taste. You can't look at SupCom through the Starcraft/CoH lens, it's a very different type of game. In what...

It's like 90% of the people on this forum have never followed the graphics market before. There is absolutely nothing exceptional about this launch. $650 is not the MSRP, nobody knows what the pricing will be. GeForce3 was supposed to have an MSRP of $600. The sky is not falling.

Whoa, that's scary brent, I got practially an identical system and my CPU is coming in on monday. I was thinking of installing the nForce4 Standalone Kit, but I wonder if that includes HD drivers, and whether there is a way to avoid installing them specifically. What are you planning to do? Not...
