    Best wireless router out there?

    The Airport Extreme is widely considered the best. If you own an iOS device, you can manage it using an app.

    5 Max connections/devices to the internet? Is my ISP limiting me somehow?

    It turns out the Airport Extreme was configured in bridge mode. The NAT router on the roof splitting out to the condos must have had a limit on the number of devices per IP set to a fix limit of 5. By setting it up as double-NAT, I can now connect more than 5 devices.

    5 Max connections/devices to the internet? Is my ISP limiting me somehow?

    I have a strange limit where I can only have 5 devices connected to the internet at any given time. More than 5 devices can connect to the router, either through WIFI or ethernet, but only 5 can use the internet. I've tried this on a Buffalo router, and now I have the Apple Airport Extreme. The...

    Stretch your gaming dollar

    I personally like the trading services like goozex.com. For PS3 and 360 games it works really well since the games hold their values (trade points) so well. I'll get a game like Burnout Paradise for 300 points (~$15), and trade it back in a month or two later usually for the same amount of...

    Would be grateful if anyone could pass along an invite my way. :)

    Its official! WAR is coming Sept. 18!

    Interestingly enough, Order is starting to win a lot more of the battles than destruction now. I think it probably has to do with the fact that we don't have long queue times, and get a lot more practice, and time to learn the tricks to win. I get in a scenario within 5-10 minutes of signing...

    warhammer MMO Review

    Yea, chat works just fine, but nobody seems to be using it. If I'm in a zone, I never see anyone ask a question, or chat for the heck of it. It's bizarre for an MMO for it to be so quiet, IMO.

    warhammer MMO Review

    Has anyone else found that nobody talks in Warhammer? Is there a global chat or anything? It's eerily quiet wherever I go on my server. Is this common among other servers? (I'm currently Tier 1, level 8)

    Its official! WAR is coming Sept. 18!

    There is a difference between the game feeling slow versus leveling slow. Feeling slow means that the combat feels lethargic and boring, and it takes forever to get anywhere because of the slow running speed. I'm basically watching Dexter while leveling through War, and having no problems...

    Its official! WAR is coming Sept. 18!

    I agree, the walk/run speed is too slow. I feel like they are deliberately trying to make everything take longer so it artificially slows me down, and makes me subscribe longer. I'm only level 2, but my first impression is that it's just another very slightly evolved MMO. Similar types of...

    Its official! WAR is coming Sept. 18!

    Anybody get in yet? Patching for me is at 133kb / 189MB...pretty slow, but it's what I expected.

    Probably annoying but: Vista32 vs Vista64 for gaming

    I'm trying to decide on this as well. Any issues with overclocking on Vista 64 (with their signed drivers, etc)?

    EVGA 8600GTS upgrade to EVGA 9800GTX+

    I have pretty much the same setup as the OP, and am considering either of these cards. One thing I've noticed is that the price gap between the 4850 and the 9800GTX+ is closing. Pricewatch has the 4850 at $180, and the 9800GTX+ for around $200 (excluding rebates, as they are a PITA). Only a...

    Quakelive Invites

    On the last GFW podcast they mentioned playing it. He thought it was a blast, but quakelive (pretty much quake 3...) had the same problems most FPS's have that have been around forever have. There are some crazy awesome players that have been playing for the last 5 years, and will destroy the...
