    2011 Steam Halloween Sale:DEAD

    I played it without playing the first. I really enjoyed it, especially the semi-dark humor. Not a complicated game, but fun and with a good storyline. Minion controls can be a little buggy some times, but it's not a game breaker.

    2011 Steam Halloween Sale:DEAD

    If I have $10 to spend, would it be better spent on: a) 2 out of the 3: Bioshock 2, Stalker, Call of Priyapat (really enjoyed Bioshock) or b) Baldur's Gate 2 complete pack on gog.com for $9.99 Very important to make the best decision, especially with little time to game. It's a crowded boat, haha

    Has a game intruded in real life on occasion for you?

    I've been playing a lot of Chime lately before I go to bed. During several of my residency interviews, I would imagine seeing pieces coming together behind the person I was trying to convince to give me a job.

    Catalyst 10.6 released

    I know about the two screen stability issue, which is why I mentioned that I had only one screen connected. Maybe it was wishful thinking for 10.6 to be able to detect the presence of a only single display (that was working fine at downclocked memory before 10.4) :(

    Catalyst 10.6 released

    Still having the high idle clock issues with overdrive enabled (400/whatever value memory is set to.). HD5750, Catalyst 10.6 in Windows 7 Pro x64. Single card with single display. Anyone still having the same problems?

    Whats up with all the different kinds of 3d

    I apologize in advance for the less than helpful spirit of my post: You have put together a very expensive triple-SLI system and are not sure what hdcp support means? Thanks for the lulz.

    Mirror's Edge: WTF

    I was just joking about the Faulkner; I'm a fan of his writing, even if he doesn't have mass appeal. His novels have way more creativity than you can find in most games. But that's neither here nor there. I wouldn't recommend the level per month approach. If you're going to hate it, hate...

    Mirror's Edge: WTF

    Go read some Faulkner, and I promise you will appreciate the game more after that, lulz. J/k, the game definitely is not for everyone. I enjoyed the movement sequences in the game, figuring out how to get from one point to another. While repeating sequences due to failure got frustrating at...

    why do YOU need a data plan?

    Unlimited data and unlimited text/mms for $30/month (ahh, the joys of having an unlocked phone). If I were to forgo text messaging, I could get data for $15/month. I used my phone for about 7 months before getting a data plan. Before that point, it was fine, and I could usually wait to get...

    Co-op play and PC gaming

    It would probably work with one player using a keyboard and mouse and the other using a gamepad. (I guess if you want to have the console co-op experience, then maybe you can't be too picky about using a mouse...). Guitar Hero on the PC can be played with 2 xbox360 guitar controllers. It's...

    Seagate AND Western Digital 2TB -- 139.99 @ Newegg

    Recording TV shows in HD can eat up a lot of space, especially if you're watching a lot of shows and movies. But that probably won't take up space as quickly as previously mentioned activities, lulz

    Any Nokia XpressMusic 5800 owners?

    I've had one since April. There are a lot of good things about it, and I have learned to really enjoy using it. There is some craziness with the way it handles some wi-fi access points, and certain apps (e-mail) can be slow at times. Sometimes programs crash, maybe due to memory problems...

    Half-Life on 7

    the only problem I had with Half Life in Steam when playing it on Windows 7 RC x64 is that the game would crash after/around beating the final boss. Not that big a deal, but just a heads up.

    Best MB for Phenom II X4 940

    I've been eyeing that DFI mobo ever since I came across a PII X4 940. I'm working with a gigabyte 780g w/ sb700 mobo (ga-ma78gm-s2h rev1.0) right now, which is probably holding back the OC and not leaving any room for adding a second card for crossfire. But I'm happy with it now as is and...
