    Windows XP-64 Pro?

    I'm upgrading my system soon, and will at least do a reformat of my Win XP drive, but I'm not sure about which Windows OS to use. I'd like to go to a 64-bit Window OS to use 4GB (or more) of memory. I already have a copy of WinXP Pro 64-bit that I haven't used yet... is anyone using that...

    Corsair recommendations

    Hi, I'm planning to upgrade my system soon, to an Intel Quad core, 8800GT, P35 mobo, 2 (maybe 4) GB RAM, and will be keeping my 3 HD, 2 optical drives. I will be doing some mild to moderate overclocking. I'm looking to get a Corsair PSU because of the good reviews, popularity here, and...

    Thanks. I feel a little better now, heh.

    ** Official Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA4) ** Thread

    I just got GTAIV last night. It's my first GTA game. I feel kind of silly asking this, but is there a "Save" function in this game, or does it only autosave after mission completions? Also, where's the "Exit"? I've looked in the settings, on the phone.... feeling really lame not being...

    No, I don't think you can paint any of the R-class cars. Didn't think of that...they have their own numbers on them already... :-(

    Forza 2 Game Night. Bring it!

    Just been a bit too busy to get my cars together, and instead of scrambling to get it done at the last minute, I've just been deciding to sit out and let some of the new guys race without a lot of swapping out drivers (seems to me the last month or so we've had at least 8 or more show up)...

    Forza 2 Game Night. Bring it!

    Hey, I don't remember if you were at our first muscle car night, Queasy, but I actually did pretty well! CK probably remembers, everyone was quite surprised, hehe. (My first car, which I still have, was a '65 Mustang, so I'm used to wrestling with a muscle car) And speaking of tracks, I...

    MS Points. I have Road America already, for 100 pts, why not? However, as much as I wanted more new tracks (Twin Ring), the fact that Road America wasn't integrated into the Career mode in any way stopped me from purchasing Twin Ring when it was released. If we decide to add both tracks...

    Aren't there two Integras you can win? I have two and I'm pretty sure I haven't bought one... the VIS Integra is one of my favorite cars (you've seen me run it quite a few times), and I think I also have another, plain-looking one, maybe a Mugen? Either way, I have a ton of credits, be happy...

    Yeah, sorry, I had a dentist appointment, and was in some pain tonight... didn't really feel up to it. Sorry about your car, CK. Which one were you driving, the Audi again?

    Great job on the picture essay, CK.. though really, it doesn't do any sort of justice to watching the replay! I think most of us watched that a LOT last night after we wrapped up.... Skinny, no worries, it's racing, and it resulted in one of, if not THE, best wrecks we've had so far. And...

    ATCG Forza 2 Game Night Paint Job Poll for 3/5

    Yeah, it'd be nice if you could just type in (with the standard XBox kb interface, I guess) the text you want, but no, you have to add each letter from the decal menu. An easier (and somewhat quicker) way to do it is get your first letter on the car, do all the resizing, skewing, spinning you...

    Ouch...my spirit... :brokenheart: And yeah, the replay REALLY sucks in Forza 2. I did one of the Endurance races in Career a few weeks ago, and somehow several of the AI cars got into a pileup (I wasn't involved, I swear!) and I wanted to see what the heck happened to them, but it was like...

    Heeeey! To be fair, I hardly hit anyone tonight....well, not unless I was bumped into you, or HIT FROM THE REAR, or if Spidey was nearby and was on his vendetta against me! :-p Ok, I did cause a bit of a mess at the start of that one race, but Spidey was just sitting on the line and I had to...

    I did not, in fact! Hehe... but you must have sent in replacements... like Spidey! And...uh... me. Pretty sure I bumped a few people off into the grass...or a wall... oopsie. CK, I know that pit wall VERY well, I swear I've run into that thing at BOTH ends (depending which Sunset Infield...

    No, no, that's cool.. I have a few Full Metal Alchemist cars I want to do... That was my first try at using the livery editor btw...still not sure how some of those guys make those amazing cars. Lots and lots of time and patience. I'm pretty handy with Photoshop, so the tools in Forza...

    I hope we can change more than just the color...I decked mine out in full Nerd Herd..uh..ness...itude. As it happens, Waldo gave me the number 3 car, which is the one Chuck also drives. As for the tuning... when I get to around 125mph, seems like the gearing is too... high? low? Can never...

    Getting the most out of 360 steering wheel

    How about using adhesive (or some Velcro if you don't want it permanently bonded) and attaching the pedal assembly to something like a rubber car floormat? They usually have something on the bottom to keep them from sliding. Or even better, get a small "chair mat" which is plastic/rubber with...

    **OFFICIAL** Mass Effect Thread

    I love the shotgun. If you're not using it a lot, have someone in your squad using it. I remember having Tali using it (just so she wasn't using the pistol all the time) but I can't remember if she's able to out of the gate or if it was on my second playthrough, after I'd unlocked Shotguns...

    See, this is what happens when you drink and drive, Spidey! :-p Been thinking about getting a wheel myself, though. Just can't use the controller very well for fine turning. I'm always swerving too much because I over-correct.

    Yeah, I always liked that part, too. The banter, and the news stories you hear in the elevator about some mission you were just on...and of course the news putting their own spin on what actually happened, heh. The only really annoying elevator is the one on the Normandy...no banter, no...

    No, I was in my usual "bringing up the rear" spot and had a great view of the whole things...and bombed right through the wreckage and swerving cars without a dent! :-) It was quite a sight to see from where I was though!

    I haven't seen something so spectacular as that crash yet in all the races I've done, but as someone pointed out during THAT race, you do sometimes see that sort of "air" in real life races. But I think in Forza you kind of need a "perfect storm" of a crash to see something like that.
