    Rumor: Halo 3 and Fable II being bundled in with 360 Elites

    And that right there says a lot about the "quality" of the xbox library (or the lack thereof).

    Rumor: Halo 3 and Fable II being bundled in with 360 Elites

    wow, two shitty games to go along with grossly flawed hardware... sounds like a great deal...

    Anti-glare/anti-reflective filter for laptop?

    haha, that'd be fun... I've moved it about, and it helps, but i cant get rid of the glare/reflections in my office.. Everything that i've seen is sold as a "privacy filter", but i dont know how much (any?) they do to cut down on glare. anyone use them? i dont really need the privacy...

    Anti-glare/anti-reflective filter for laptop?

    I just got a new work laptop (HP something-or-other, with 15" screen), and it has the glossy screen which has sadly become standard on laptops these days. My desk has a window behind me, and the glossy screen reflects everything, giving me a headache. Is there some kind of anti-glare sheet i...

    This winter is going to break me...

    Im sure. Metroid Prime was great because it played LESS like an FPS (it focused more on exploration than on just killing everything). MP3 on the wii was great, and and great controls. The rest of those games are, IMO, crap. particularly halo 3. biggest waste of time i have ever played...

    Xbox 360 fighting game "controller??"

    that madcatz sfIV pad is junk. not that that should be any surprise... get a ps3. ps3 pad is MILES better than the 360, but even better: you can use the USB sega saturn pad on ps3, which has the BEST d-pad by a long shot. Of course, an arcade stick is the way to go for fighting games.

    This winter is going to break me...

    So, where are the good games? I mean, diablo 3 looks great, but who knows when it will actually release. I'll probably buy tekken 6, but only after it gets cheap. Virtua fighter is WAY better (hoping for a console port of VF5R). but the rest of those are crap.. Thats funny, i'd say the...

    Dawn of War II SP campaign - does it get any better?

    you get more equipment and some units later too, so its stays pretty fun. Co-op campaign is fun too. The multiplayer however, is worthless. way too slow and dull. for multiplayer/skirmish, i'm sticking with DoW 1.

    which system has the best/most RPG's?

    Mass effect was so-so, and is on PC anyways. Fable 2 was terrible (so was the first one), and lost odyssey was really weak. They are indeed awesome (I own RgG 1 and am looking for a good used copy of 2), but you are _really_ stretching when you've got to include untranslated Ryu Ga Gotoku...

    which system has the best/most RPG's?

    PS2 by far, or DS in close second. But if you must be "current", PS3; all the xbox360 RPGs are shit, and the PS3 has Valkyria Chronicles, which is better than the entire 360 library combined, and Disgaea 3 which is also excellent. And if you count Ryu ga Gotoku (Yakuza) as an RPG (its...

    ATI catalyst drivers: .net broadcast event window wont close on shutdown

    OK, that makes sense... i wasnt sure what required .net, as i havent used an ATi card in a long time. I uninstalled all ATI sw, and installed just the video drivers and ati tray tools. seems to be working after a few restarts. hopefully this will be the last annoyance of this PC build...

    Geforce gtx260 216 sp or ati 1GB 4870

    Im not sure that its a CCC issue, vs display driver issue... does telling CCC to "exit" from the system tray icon menu actually close it? as i still get the end task window with CCC exited... since its kind of off topic, if you have some ideas that can help, please post in the thread i made...

    ATI catalyst drivers: .net broadcast event window wont close on shutdown

    Ive tried all i can think of... I uninstalled all the .net framework (at which point a lot of stuff stopped working), reinstalled the latest .net framework and service pack, reinstalled the ATi drivers, and it still happens. Its not the end of the world, but its pretty irritating and i'd...

    Geforce gtx260 216 sp or ati 1GB 4870

    I think i have most things worked out, but there is still one irritating issue (i've posted another thread here asking for help solving it): Every time i restart or shutdown my PC, a ".net broadcast event window cannot be closed" message comes up, and will timeout the shutdown process if im not...
