    Amnesia: Dark Ascent

    Would people who finish this game want to play it again? That is, what's the replayability? Even if you know the story, would you play again?

    Amnesia: Dark Ascent

    Want to pick this game up. Looks awesome. Since it's only 20 dollars, I am wondering how long it is going to be? That is, how many hours of game play can I expect for my first run through? Or is it dependant on how smart I am and how fast I solve the puzzles? With out any Spoilers, does anyone know?

    Duke Nukem Forever to be released according to the Wall Street Journal

    Well it does let you draw on whiteboards. That's new and pretty cool and will probably affect multi-player the best. I don't think peeing into a urinal is new, you could do that in the old Duke3D, but this time you get to see the stream. :-)

    Free credit report and FICO score from myFICO

    Apparently I was wrong before. There is no 'free fico score once per year'. What was added in the 'wall street reform' bill was the ability to get your fico score for free 'if you were rejected for a job or denied a loan.' You could always get your credit report after that, but now you get the...

    Free credit report and FICO score from myFICO

    Every US citizen is entitled to see all 3 of their credit reports once per year for free, without having to enter any credit card info. The new 'wall street reform' that just passed adds that you now also get your credit score free once per year too, but I haven't seen that yet. It probably...

    Whihc is better? Iphone version 1 or Nokia Xpress music 5800?

    There is no easy replacement for you if you have T-mobile. The only iphone equivilent that you can get right now for T-mobile is the Touch pro2 from HTC. It's a windows mobile 6.1 phone, so it has lots of configurability and the features you want. However, it's a 350 dollar phone if you get it...

    t-mobile is going 3g in my town on Tuesday

    I am 500 meters from a tower that is supposed to push out 3G. T-mobile has said there is a problem and says they will send people out to fix it. That was supposed to be last Thursday. I still only have 2 to 3 edge bars.

    t-mobile is going 3g in my town on Tuesday

    Good luck with that dude. I am smack dab in the middle of a Tmobile 3g zone. I am lucky to get 3Edge bars though. I think I am in a dead zone.

    Carl's Jr. Big Carl Combo Deal (Free $1 to $100 GC)

    Yeah, the chances of that are pretty slim. Less than .5% (thats half of one percent) are anything but the 1 dollar GC. That means you have a less than 1 in 200 chance to get a 5 dollar card.

    Carl's Jr. Big Carl Combo Deal (Free $1 to $100 GC)

    1 free request per envelope. So if you send in the SASE to get the 1 dollar gc it will cost you 88 cents, giving you a 12 cents profit. If you send in 10 SASE requests, you will get 10 dollars worth of gift cards for 8.88 dollars. Not a very good deal.

    Blu-Ray BD-ROM SATA Drive - $39.99 + shipping @ Frys

    I got an LG BD reader (8x) DVD/CD burner for 79.99 on sale a few weeks ago at Frys B/M. It was in the paper ad. It included Powerlink 7.3 with BD playback. Works great! I'm happy. Maybe they will have that deal (or better) on Black Friday? Edit: Oops. It's a blu ray reader, DVD/CD burner...

    The new Wolfenstein is due this year

    well. I had high hopes. Looks like I'll wait for this to hit the 10 dollar bargain bin early next year. Should be ready for a fun distraction at that time. 10 bucks isn't bad for a mediocre shooter. :-)

    Dead Space

    Although it is a prequel, I think you should watch it 'after' you play the game. It would be very confusing to watch before you play the game, and if you watch it after you play the game, it makes *much* more sense, and since you basically know the story already, you have a better understanding...

    Steam Wednesday-only Special: Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway $15

    OK. Just asking. It's just that I paid full price for Far Cry 2 when it first came out, and now it's only 15 bucks. Honestly, that's still too much for what it's worth. Edit: Couldn't resist. In for a copy. 8.59 shipped. Not bad. :)

    Just one question....if the price has dropped so dramatically so quickly, doesn't this mean the game is a steaming pile of crap?

    Dead Space Game

    First of all, if you are left handed, and want to remap the controls, you're screwed. You have to download a remapping program to run in the background, to get the controls to even 'usable' levels. Once that hurdle is jumped over, you find the movement very klumsy. Turning and moving with...

    Internet Radio doesn't work after codec install?

    Update: I fixed the issue. Turns out my registry was all borked up! I uninstalled all my codecs, used ccleaner on the registry, then re-installed the other codecs I had, except for the mediacodec one ( I installed VCP codec instead ), and that did it! All was well.

    Internet Radio doesn't work after codec install?

    OK, so I wanted to watch an avi movie I had, but it wouldn't play in Windows Media Player. Media Player apparently doesn't have a 'dolby digital' (ac3) codec. It played the video, but not the sound. So I downloaded a codec pack from tucows....the 'essential media codec pack'. Here is their...

Before I purchased, I read about the system requirements, and how you're supposed to put things on 'medium' for a high end system, and how to disable the social club thingie, so I knew what I was getting into. It did crash on me twice. Once because the texture settings were on...
