    Too much comments or is this okay?

    I don't feel like any of these comments give any extra information I also haven't declared all of my variables at the start of a method since college

    Computer wont power up until I unplug/plug back in the mobo power connector

    I'm using a surge protector. I tested my wall outlet with a multimeter, and it was giving me 121.4 V, I think I can rule that out. I dont have a spare PSU to test, though. The problem just got worse tonight. I pressed the power button, and the fans started spinning like it was powering up...

    Computer wont power up until I unplug/plug back in the mobo power connector

    I am running a Q6600 processor on an Abit Ip-35e motherboard with a Thermaltake power supply (not sitting at my computer atm, but I think its a 650w PSU), and 4 gb of Corsair DDR2 Ram I built this computer a couple months after the Q6600 came out, so its about 2.5 years old (maybe 3?). Until...

    Is the CPU or motherboard fried?

    My brother's had his new computer set up for a few weeks, but today sparks flew from the back of his computer. We replaced the power supply and disconnected everything (RAM, CD Drive, Hard Drive, Video Card) except the CPU from the motherboard. I have taken my internal speaker (his case did...

    Stalker: Call of Pripyat, unable to turn in Artifact quests

    Playing Stalker: CoP, seems the best of the series so far (even if my trusty Chaser 13 does far less damage than the previous games). The bugs seem minimal compared to the previous games, but I have received a quest from Beard to return a Flame artifact. I have one in my inv. right now, but...

    Attention ATOT gun nuts - Nice FAL deal

    If you want a 16", youre better off getting one with a mid-length gas system, like one from BCM. DD is quality, no doubt, but dont go with carbine gas systems unless youre getting a barrel at 14.5" or less...

    Freespace 2 and FSSCP questions

    http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=64634.0 It's the 3rd stickied post in that forum you linked to. I just installed FS2 Open and Xwing alliance (with updated models) last week and I'm having a great time playing both of them (in between LFD2 versus mode games)

    xwing vs tie

    Oh man, that would be awesome. I havent been able to get mission 12 (I think thats the right #) to finish in Vista64 without crashing under XWing Alliance, it would be so awesome to be able to play XWing again with proper co-op missions (Whether 2 ships or pilot/turret gunner)

    Demigod: So much for piracy

    When a company contracts out DRM from another company like Starforce, its not like theyre spending energy that would otherwise be used to make a better game. It's another company that has nothing to do with the game programmers. It's not really a tradeoff, like what can I have, gameplay or copy...

    Six Days in Fallujah

    Ok, my bad. As a infantry Marine that served in Iraq (Ramadi, not Fallujah, though) I see no problem with the idea, especially as there are Marines advising the programmers. Biggest thing I have a problem with is seeing movies or games that obviously didnt bother to consult even a single...

    Six Days in Fallujah

    I thought COD4 takes place in Azerbaijan, which is a real Middle East nation (but they have the location wrong)

    In the event of a draft, should women remain exempt?

    Except that it isn't just the women who this would affect. Speaking from an infantry perpsective, I don't care how well a woman knows of the risk involved to herself, the fact is the average woman would be a liability to the rest of us. There's nothing computerized about a foot patrol...

    64bit OS and gaming

    The only game I recall not getting to work correctly is XWing Alliance, which generally runs unstable, and refuses to finish the 5th or 6th level at all, ever. Everything else runs great

    Decent helicopter sim?

    Thanks for the suggestions, that Black Shark looks great I was pretty good with the helicopters in Operation Flashpoint, but that was a lot different with mouse and a couple of keys as opposed to a joystick and a million keys in Enemy Engaged. I'll be sure to go buy Arma though, really...

    Decent helicopter sim?

    I bought Enemy Engaged 2 a while ago, but I wasnt able to get the controls down being a newbie to helicopter sims. Can anyone recommend another game that has a decent in game tutorial to get me used to some of the controls? Doesnt have to be brand new or anything, just something to get me...

    Just bought Oblivion

    I bought Oblivion when it first came out, and quit after a couple hours because I really didnt like the leveling system and got bored of fighting what seemed like random trash in dungeon after dungeon. I've decided to give it another try now, though, and am looking at some leveling mods to...

    Is there a such thing as subscribing to a type of programming to record?

    I hope I'm making sense with this - Is there a such thing as subscribing to a type of programming to record? What I'm trying to do is setup a HTPC system (before I leave overseas in August) to record all of the Gator and Jaguar games I'll miss on deployment. I have never used any PVRs, and...

    Lot of file corruption

    I forget the exact time but it was about half an hour. It hung up on the windows/winxsxs/manifests folder but I started it over with a custom scan and it got through
