    Dell U2415 - Brightness fades in and out. Power saving?

    I just got 2 U2415 Dell monitors which overall I like BUT while trying to watch a movie I noticed the brightness of the monitor fading in and out. It appears to be some sort of power saving feature. You can see a power saving meter when you go in the monitor's options and watch it go up and...

    Help me shop for a new wifi router!

    So I'm 36 years old and never bought a wireless router. I've never needed one. But that has changed and I now need one. I've noticed wireless routers are pretty complicated with many things to take into consideration. I would like something that could support 3-5 devices. And able to support...

    I have Windows 8. My problem is I recently uninstalled Extensis Suitcase Fusion 5, which is a font managing software, and it left a bunch of files in my app data folder.

    My monitor has a brown hue, anyway to fix?

    So I'm a graphic designer and recently have needed to start doing work at home. I've always known about this problem but it never really bothered me because I only used my home PC for typical home PC stuff but that has changed now.

    Titan Fall just another COD?

    From what this article says it seems no different than COD. Except you have mechs. If thats all the game offers I think Ill pass. When are game companies going to stop regurgitating Team Death Match and the rest of COD gameplay? I already own a copy of COD, Im not going to pay $60 for another...

    Battleground Europe - Persistent Online War FPS

    Anyone ever play this game? I gave it a try a few years ago and just couldnt handle the lack of refinement. Graphics are very dated and its unintuitive. But I would so love for Dice or one of the COD studios to make a game like this. "Set in World War II Western Europe, WWII Online...

    Heroes and Generals - Strategy/Objective based FPS

    There was another thread on this game but I figured Id make a new one that was a little more descriptive. Im really enjoying this game. Its a FREE to play WW2 shooter where each match is part of a larger campaign for Europe. Allies try to take Berlin, Axis try to take London and many battles...

    Game industry substituting good gameplay for graphics...

    This is the conclusion Ive come to for why most games bore me. Games continue to look prettier and prettier but yet actual gameplay either stays the same or actually regresses. The COD and BF franchises are perfect examples. They contiue to release basically the same game over and over but with...

    Software for capturing gameplay

    Was thinking about taking some video of PS2. It has an in game video capture which I tried but have no idea where it put the file. But I figure if Im going to do video capture I might as well use the best software I can get. I saw a review that said Fraps is still the best.

    Opinions on Boost

    So, I'm thinking about getting a smart phone, never had one before. I've always been slow on the cell phone front because I think the prices are ridiculous. Hence why I'm interested in Boost, lol. I've looked around the web and havent really been able to find any info from people who actually...

    Leveling "kits" in Battlefield 3

    Anyone know how to get points for "kits"? Ive been wanting to unlock stuff on the Assault class and am not sure if there is a way to get more kit specific points. The only way I know how to get kit points is just to play it during the round and you get 200 points or whatever it is. But is there...

    BF3 smacks down COD

    I think its official BF just put the smack down on COD. Im sure the BF fanboys will say BF has always put the smack down on COD but to that all I can say is BFBC2 wasnt even worth playing to me, lousy controls and sloppy game play. But in BF3 they figured out how to do prone properly, unlike...

    My BF3 beta review

    It actually doesnt run too bad on my dated system, its playable. I can move the camera around plenty fast. The sound seems worse then my general traversing across the map. Theres a lot of crackling noise and voice getting cutoff. My main complaint with BC2 was the controls or lack there of...

    Overclocking reference 560ti....

    So here was my thought, instead of spending more money on a factory OCd card why not just buy a reference card and OC it yourself? Im not an OCer so I dont know how viable this idea is. Has anyone done this? Would it be possible? Would it perform as well as a factory OCd card?

    Warhammer Online

    I encourage people to give this game a try. I'm an ex-wow player that is more into PVP then PVE and this game caters to PVPers. It had a lot of hype going for it through development but Mythic screwed themselves by releasing the game broken at launch.The point of the game is not to run instances...
