    RPG Recommendations?

    The Witcher and Two Worlds. Both have pretty good story lines and interesting worlds to explore. The Witcher is kinda linear but with a good story and interesting combat where as Two Worlds is wide open and explorer friendly. Two Worlds while not great is a good game. You can burglarize peoples...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    I have been playing for about 2 months now and well the game isn't bad but it isn't great either. The lack of PvP gets old I think. The PvE content is vast and pretty interesting but it becomes a little bit of a drag to always have to find groups to advance the story. My Loremaster is currently...

    Aigomerla where did you get that silver piece in your system? That looks much safer than the other one.

    Watercooling Ruined

    The reason I had the system in the closet was because I recently moved my system from my bedroom to the kitchen area. There is a closet in the kitchen where I was able to put the computer and run the cords under the door so that I could have the essentials only visible. My system has been...

    Watercooling Ruined

    Thanks for all the input. I should be able to salvage the blocks with out too much effort but my main concerns now are the radiators and pump. Is it safe to run bleach water through these followed by distilled water?

    Watercooling Ruined

    The short version of the story is I was too cheap to by additive to keep algae and stuff from growing in my water cooling system and is has come back to bite me in the ass. My computer which has been in a closet while running for the last 3 months stopped working yesterday. I discovered that my...

    Far Cry Movie

    it is horrible. It takes place in Pacific Northwest setting with not a palm tree in sight. I wasn't expecting much but thought i would give a try since the game was so good. but once again i was sadly disappointed by a movie adaptation of a game. I wouldn't waste your bandwidth (since the only...

    Movie Organizer

    Ok well it works when they are in their own folders. Wish there was an easier way to do this :(

    Movie Organizer

    OK, I will try it with a couple of them. Anyone know any programs/command prompts that would generate a folder for each file name? that would be nice. thanks for all the help so far and quick responses.

    Movie Organizer

    Yeah it is vista. Are your movies in individual folders though mc866? because mine are all individual AVI's in one folder. And when i search/browse it does not show any AVI files just folders

    Movie Organizer

    I must be missing something about mymovies then because i can only get it to recognize folders but not individual .avi files. I would rather not have to type every movie title into the database manually as i have almost 1000 movies and that would take awhile.
  15. M

    Movie Organizer

    There are lots of programs out there that can create a database of your movies using barcodes, manual input of title, etc. I am looking for a program that can add AVI files to the database and download information about these movies automatically. Also if it can interface with Media Center for...

    World of Warcraft question

    As has been said it is very solo friendly this was a concern for me when i started playing about a month ago. I hate having to group up for stuff all the time. I have soloed up to 35 with no problems. I have done a couple of dungeons but you can always just sit outside and ask to join a group if...

    Call of Duty 4 is AWFUL

    You need to find a good set of servers that have a max no higher than 20 and that have good websites with forums so you can let them know about cheaters. Play hardcore and try and play in servers with no more than 10-15 people. Once you go over that the game becomes too chaotic and it sucks for...

    Google + Valve = ?

    http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com...ors-of-google-buy-out/ I know mtv is a weird place to find news about tech related stuff. But here it is. I just dont see how it would be a good move for either of the companies Valve has so many big name developers coming over to Steam that they dont need or...

    Google + Valve = ?

    Another thing is it would be horrible for gamers. I for one own over 100 games, i know i have a problem a hate those damn weekend deals get me every time, on steam and i wouldnt want to be inundated with stupid ads and apps for download. Steam is a gaming platform that will and is being coppied...

    Google + Valve = ?

    why would google want to buy valve? google doesnt need to add gaming to its portfolio. Google needs to stick with what it does best search and apps, gaming would be an unwise investment. Not that gaming is not a great industry, i highly doubt google would lose money on the deal, but still it...

    Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter II

    GRAW is a horrible series. A real shame that it ruined the Ghost Recon series. I didnt like it one bit. the graphics arent very good and the performance is even worse. The controls are clunky and make things very difficult. I know i sound like a hater and well i am. i was very disappointed in...

    Everything starts but nothing displays

    for some reason the power led will not come on with the current PSU. i have tried changing the connection to see if i hooked the led up right. and it seems to be. why would the led not come on when everything appears to be running?

    nothing. The power LED wont come on which doesnt make sense considering everything is moving and i can eject the DVD drive and feel the HDD moving.

    How CPU bound would a single GTX 280 be on a E6600

    i have an 8800 GT and an E6600@3.4Ghz and it does great. I game at 1440x900 most of the time for 100+ frame rates. but most games i can do 1680x1050 with decent rates. i wouldnt worry about upgrading right now. it will simply be a waste of money. Save your money and buy something that will...

    Was PC gaming ever in its current state?

    Thank you Schadenfroh, its about time someone brought some stats to the table. i am so tired of all this "PC gaming is dying." its crap. PC gaming is fine and will continue to be. I am sick of devs, media, and gamers bashing a market that is doing just fine. Have some faith and dont buy all the...

    How bad (content wise) is Grand Theft Auto 3?

    what i dont understand is why is it so wrong for someone to object to swear words? Isnt that a choice that you should be able to make with out hindering your ability to enjoy a form of entertainment? Just because we are adults doesnt mean that we have to listen to garbage all the time. yes we...

    How bad (content wise) is Grand Theft Auto 3?

    legoman what what was the point of that? There are times when swearing really ruins an experience. this can be true for any form of entertainment tv, movies, music, games, art, theater, anything. I dont remember GTA3 being that bad. but it has been a while since i have played it. My favorite GTA...
