    Left 4 Dead 2. What happened?

    Its no fun playing online with random people. In my case, they always seemed to know too much about the levels, so i felt like i was on a guided tour of the level with a drill sergeant. "Go here, its a better spot to wait for the oncoming rush." or "turn this way, its statistically safer."

    Capture cards that let me console game on my laptop

    I have a gaming laptop i take places, as well as a wii. I use them both a lot, but some times i think it would be convenient if my M11x functioned as a monitor for my consoles. in the past when i used to try this, i had a lot of lag from controller to action on the screen. would i call that...

    I just can't remember release dates. I found my solution. task.fm sends me emails when games are released. /problem. I must have been unclear when i told every one what i wanted. Sorry if i was some how vague. And thanks again, all, for the input. And to answer simonizor about why i dislike...

    Any one know of a service that automatically alearts me to upcoming games?

    HEY! You guys got me thinking, and i think it helped me to get around the issue. By talking to the mighty anandtech commune, i starting thinking in broader terms. So, I reran my googling for just a generic task reminder, which i guess is all i really needed! http://task.fm/ is what i found...

    Any one know of a service that automatically alearts me to upcoming games?

    Thanks for trying guys. I was looking for an automated service, but it looks like no ones forthcoming with one. Maybe some one will add this feature to their game review or purchase site. The steam idea was the best one, but as i stated at the beginning, steam and i are not on friendly terms...

    Any one know of a service that automatically alearts me to upcoming games?

    Thanks for the suggestions. But pedia and news sites wont notify me automatically via Email or SMS : "Hey there, Mr. Forgetful, did you remember to go guy Goldeneye for the wii today? no? GET TO IT! ITS OUT" and so on.

    Any one know of a service that automatically alearts me to upcoming games?

    See subject. I am not here to talk about WHY i lost faith in valve and the steam service. I will just say i don't like their "Don't like our changes? Tough titties. Deal with it." attitude. Any one know of a service or a website where i can basically ask it to tell me when a game i am...

    Crossfire and the All in wonder 3650

    it is windows 7. I will have to get back in touch with this guy and probably have to get him to find time to bring me his computer because i know I'm not familiar enough with ATIs gui to manage this over the phone. Thanks every one!! You've been indispensable.

    m11x, charge toggle, and me!

    The m11x is a neat little subnotebook. Its powerful and consumes very little power. I would like to extend my battery's life span by being able to toggle the charge function, but that feature does not exist on MY m11x. I think it might on revision 2 version, but not mine. This feature DOES exist...

    Crossfire and the All in wonder 3650

    I think i understand you, but i might need to ask for clarification. It sounds like you're telling me that by installing one first, then the other, i should be able to play starcraft II on one, the more powerful card and i theoretically should be allowed to use the other card, The weaker one, to...

    Crossfire and the All in wonder 3650

    So i have some one asking me for help who wants to crossfire an ATI all in wonder because we THINK it has RGB out. He wants to have his ATI 5670 render starcraft 2, then have the all in wonder's 3650 output to the TV with RGB, because its a CRT TV and has no HDMI being that old. Is this possible...
