    Reccomend a decent budget 19" LCD

    My 19" Hyundai L90D+ crapped out after 3 years I think, I'm gonna test a new video feed but most likely its dead. I'd like a $200 or less 19" LCD if possible, as much as I hate to say it I don't play games anymore so it will just be for general PC stuff like surfing. I've used Newegg quite a...

    I'm goona try to talk my work into a wireless mouse mainly for doing CAD work. Problem is I'm left handed and seems all the semi decent mice are shaped for a righty. I really don't need anything special, 2 buttons, good tracking and stability are key. Thanks for the reccomendations in advance.

    Anyone play Q4 on hard??

    I am and the first bit of the game was cake on hard. A little before you get turned into half strogg it gets tough as hell. I don't know who could beat it on the super hard setting.

    FPS players are getting too picky....

    I got done with school for the semester and bought FEAR and got Q4 for christmas. I read some reviews after playing about 70% of FEAR and about 3 hours of Q4. I find both great but different games. Many of the Q4 reviews blasted the game for being nothing special. IMO thats the beauty of Q4. Q2...

    Fear is sweet.... if you haven't bought it you need to...

    I really think it takes all the good things from the doom engine while removing the excessive jumpiness. Add gameplay up to the par of HL2 IMO and adds a cool slo mo feature like max payne. Plus you can get it for $30 at amazon.

    So are our PC's the only thing really holding back games??

    I wonder sometimes when I see animated movies and such whats really holding up games. Is it really the game designers holding the games back or is it our PC's limited processing/rendering capabilities.

    FEAR people, did u have problems with only getting low resolution options?

    I installed the game yesterday and updated it as well as my 6800gt driver. What I don't understand is that it only give me the option to go up to 1024x768 resolution.

    So why isn't a diablo 3 out yet.

    The 2nd one was extremely popular and I enjoyed it immensely even though it was the first RPG I'd played. Seems since it was so popular they'd have made it a priority to bring a 3rd one out quickly. Is there even a 3rd one in the works?
