Just as a warning, using the built-in cpu H.264 encoders that Intel and AMD both offer on some chips will result in terribad encodes, although the encodes are very very fast. The same holds true for gpu accelerated encodes, btw.

COD is a lightening rod because it is the most successful AAA game. It reifies the repetition, pandering, and commoditization of AAA video game development in a single tangible IP that people can hate on. COD games have to be easy to play, coded for controllers, developed primarily for LCD...

Thats the thing, for $5 bucks it's a good time killer. Those poor bastards that paid full whack, and especially those who bought the CE had plenty of reason to be bitchy though.

or howabout this: Get back to us when you have worked hard to create something and people begin stealing it. And being able to feed, cloth, and house your children depends on you getting paid for your hard work. I bet you'll be singing a different tune when pirating is taking food out of the...

To avoid litigation letters if you live in a country where companies can get ip addresses converted into names and real addresses: 1-use a wired connection or a secured wireless. 2-Don't use torrents for your pirating needs. I don't begrudge a company from using whatever legal means are...

yeah, I played me some beta and I knew from the opening movie that I'd be passing. First it was way too long, and second could they have have crammed anymore boring done to death star wars tropes into that thing? pew-pew-pew, whoosh whiss, pew-pew...(vomit). And the 'cool' smuggler guy with...

28mb d/l, wow. I forgot how economical the code had to be back in the day.

Should be the case? sure. Is it? Nope. Seriously, this is almost 2012. If someone hates online activation for single player games, the PC is the wrong platform. Get a PS3/Xbox/wii....

I don't get the anger over Origin (which is still in beta). It only launches when and if you want it to. It is a very lightweight app, and I've never had any problems activating or re-downloading it's games. In fact, it is less obtrusive than Steam because you can play your games without even...
