    Best place to buy games online?

    Gogamer is a good site, but if you want to know where the best deals are you should check out cheapassgamer.com. They don't sell games, it is a forum to discuss deals on games. Essentially a hot deals site just for games.

    Restart Steam, Lost Coast is now available!

    Steam is telling me my processor is a 1.0 ghz, I have an Athlon 64 3200+, anyone know what causes this?

    Bored...

    Just a thought, but maybe you are playing too much of the same. I see a lot of FPS on that list with a couple strategy mixed in but not much else. Maybe try to mix in some platforming/adventure games. I guess it is harder for just the PC because FPS and strategy games dominate the market, but...

    Fedex shipment from Newegg going the wrong way?

    So I ordered my new computer hardware from newegg and it shipped Friday. It shipped from City of Industry and I'm in Los Angeles, not too far away. I got two tracking numbers, looks like they shipped everything in two boxes. The problem is, one of the boxes now shows arrival in the Fort Worth...

    HOWTO: Use Linksys WRT54G as a wireless ethernet bridge

    Thanks I got it working, sorry for the dumb question, I am pretty new at the networking stuff. I actually figured it out and was trying to connect to the right IP address(192.168.0.129) for a while with no luck, so I reset the router and went throught the steps again, and everything worked...

    HOWTO: Use Linksys WRT54G as a wireless ethernet bridge

    I was going through your walkthrough and got to step 4f. After I saved the settings and rebooted I can no longer connect to the router typing 192.168.1.1, not sure what I did wrong. I am pretty new to this, so there might be a basic step or thing that I am missing.

    Post your last 3 video cards, including your current

    X800XL Current (once I put together my new comp) Geforce 2 gts (still using until I put my new comp together) Voodoo 2 I don't upgrade very often.

    Why go with SM3.0 today?

    ~$245 + tax was convincing enough for me to go with an X800XL using the ATI pre-order deal a while back. Not worth paying atleast $150 extra for a 6800gt w/ SM3.0. If they were the same price I would probably have gone Nvidia, although going into a SFF power use would be a concern too.

    It's nearing time to make a 19" LCD decision

    I found this program in a search, and I used it to test the 1905fp against my old 17" CRT http://www.prad.de/board/thread.php?threadid=9546 The difference in the test where flags move across the screen and you can change the colors, showed very apparent ghosting. It just really concerned...

    20" gamer LCD 1600x1200

    I'm considering returning the 1905fp I bought recently (had it about a week) and getting a 2001fp, due to ghosting, but I heard bad things about LCD in non-native resolutions. When I get my new comp it should be able to run most stuff 1600x1200, but I will eventually have to scale down since I...

    It's nearing time to make a 19" LCD decision

    The first question is what do you use it for? Games....Movies....Office Aps...etc.? Dell generally has coupons every week or so that often make the 1905fp go below $300, check the hot deals section, don't ever buy something from dell without using the coupons they almost always offer. Also...

    I was wondering the same thing, hoping to see a price drop on the 3500+ when the 4200+ is released.

    FRYS: Seagate 300gb SATA w/ NCQ for $170 AR

    Hmmm been looking for this to go on sale, but this price isn't great. I agree with SleepyB the premium for some of the SATA drives is ridiculous. Thanks for the deal, have to decide if it's worth it for me.

    Far Cry $19.99 at Target

    I believe this is a universal price drop. I saw this for $19.99 at Best Buy today too, and i think it's the same price at Gamestop.

    ANOTHER Gamecube pricedrop! I *already purchased in store* for $79.44 with the new Zelda bundle and a free gamecase!

    I'm hoping for a platinum in this deal too, I know it was limited edition...but Best Buy's ad this week has a caption near the gamecube in the ad that said "platinum is back" and I have seen them in stock there. Maybe Best Buy just has excess to get rid of but Nintendo started manufacturing...

    Nintendo GameCube $99 with 12 free rentals ($72 value) - Hollywood Video / GameCrazy B&M

    Someone over at the fw forums was saying that these rentals are 1/month in the form of coupons for a free rental. Still a great deal, but just something to keep in mind if you were thinking of buying the system then renting out the store. By the way this is also for xbox and ps2

    Donnie Darko dvd for $7.22 shipped after 2-4-03 re-release

    I disagree, I think any times a movie is posted there is room for discussion for and against the movie. If nothing else this allows the thread to get bumped and give many more people any opportunity to see the deal. Movies are meant to be critiqued, and I don't think there is anything wrong...

    Donnie Darko dvd for $7.22 shipped after 2-4-03 re-release

    Well as the starter of the bandwagon thread I just wanted to say I thought the movie was decent, I thought it built up a lot more than it delivered. But I think it's worth 7 bucks. Maybe I'm just in the crowd that would buy a terrible (not that Donnie Darko is) movie for <10 than a great movie...

    own "Signs" TODAY! (1/5)... YMMV

    Well, what can I say except you missed the point of the movie. Not all directors follow the same formula in every movie. If every M. Night Shyamalan sticked to the "suprise ending" formula that made him popular in the Sixth Sense he would be a pretty boring director. In fact I think what...

    Signs DVD bestbuy.com $14.99

    Well since everyone has joined in slamming the movie I figured I would have to give the opinion of someone who enjoyed the film. If you go into it looking for a plot twist like The Sixth Sense you will definitely not like it. Even I admit that the payoff of water being toxic to the aliens isnt...
