Demo peeved me cause of the poop-stained-goggles filter over everything. Damn. I don't remember if I could turn it off.

I have gotten a refund from Steam for a game that simply wouldn't work.

Me too.

Desperately need to manage cables in my new build...

I was an nVidia fanboy for a longtime. Mostly because once I pick something I tend to stick with it. Around the time ATi's drivers were getting a bad rep, I surely swore them off. However, 4 years later reading about how I could save some money and get a decent card with ATi, and how drivers...

I was just gifted Ghostbusters from a member at a different forum. Won't be able to try it until tomorrow provided my build works :) Quite nice cause the only "newer" game I have is GRAW 2.

As mentioned earlier, threw it away.

Family/friends free. Everything else $35/month Not my profession just a little extra $.

Bored and tried to build the most expensive home/gaming system I could... Click for price :D
