    Does this game exist?

    Is there something out there that is similar to X-Com (turn based tactical combat) that has a PvE co-op mode? Preferably something where each person has their own small squad, with LAN co-op (but an online mode that supports playing with only who I want would work), and/or that has come out...

    Does KOTOR hold up today?

    It's one of those classic games that I accidentally missed (thanks Everquest :colbert:). Steam is having a 66% off all Star Wars games sale, so I figured it's easily worth a shot for $3.39, but is it worth the time*? *Keep in mind I've reached the "time is a premium and playing this...

    Will a macro lens help in this situation?

    I'm a total photography noob. In fact, technically, I'm not even taking the pictures in this scenario, my GF is... but I'm the one who may be buying a $300 macro lens as a Christmas present, and I want to make sure it's actually going to do what she thinks it will (after spending a few hours...

    Looking for PC game recommendations (good for two people on one computer)

    I recently convinced my non-gamer GF to play XCOM with me. I figured it was perfect for us to play together because it was turned based, so we could collaborate on strategy at our leisure and then enact our plan. It worked out great! We had a great time together and eventually she was...

    Figuring out the output of a power supply

    I have a power supply (not a computer power supply, but rather a part from inside a larger piece of equipment) that produces an unknown voltage and frequency and I'm trying to figure what that output is. It's possible that frequency and voltage may be as low as the standard 120v/60Hz or as high...

    How is this possible?

    I'm trying to help my GF fix her WordPress blog. It's giving her an error every time she tries to upload an image, but my question comes from something else I found while digging in to the problem. After the WordPress forums and Google couldn't give me an answer that worked, I decided to try...

    Who's your ST:TNG preference?

    It seems like when it comes to Star Trek: The Next Generation, Counselor Troi is usually the more mainstream "go to" babe, but I always thought Dr. Crusher was way more attractive and never gets credit. I'm not really a Trekkie (TNG is the only series I ever watched regularly) so I don't know...

    Does ayone actually like fruit cake?

    A fruit cake ended up in the office yesterday. After everyone looked at it with disinterest for 24 hours, I decided to try it out. It wasn't bad by fruit cake standards, but I'm not really a fan of fruit cake. One other person did the same with the same result. Nobody else wanted to try...

    Any Girl Gamers on ATOT?

    I was recently talking with someone about girl gamers online when it occurred to me that, despite AT being a website that is closely related to video games, most of the female posters don't seem like they're gamers. Do we have some closet girl gamers here?

    Poll: Using the handicap stall in the bathroom

    This past Friday, I was leaving one of the stalls at work and one of the guys I work with was waiting for a stall. There's nothing weird about this except for the fact that the handicap stall as sitting there open the entire time. I gave him some flak for not using the handicap stall and...

    Intel SSD, VRaptor x2 RAID 0, or SAS & 15k drive

    I was originally thinking of getting an Intel SSD with my latest computer upgrade, but the recent talk that they may not live up to the hype under real world usage has got me thinking VRaptor x2 in RAID 0 or buying a good single port SAS controller and a 15k SAS drive would be better as both of...

    PROOF that American women are crazy

    Note for those that didn't pick up the sarcasm font, the title of this thread is intentionally over dramatic... still, I figured you folks here would like this one. This looks like sports news, because technically it is, but there's a great L&R nugget in there. Here is a link to a blog that...
