    UT3 Update: PC vs PS3 not in the cards

    ah, you were talking different control schemes - I jumped the gun and thought you were using G5/high dpi/etc as an excuse. My bad. I can agree with that. I have both a console and a computer at home and still find that a keyboard/mouse combo gives a lot more in the way of precision than say...

    UT3 Update: PC vs PS3 not in the cards

    I hate to sound like a wet blanket but dang. Does that stuff really make a difference. Its like putting a noob infront of the wheel of sports car and a professional wheelman in a dinky 4 banger. The wheelman will still own the sports car. Moral of the story: if you are going to pwn you are going...

    What is everyone addicted to?

    COH is what I'm hooked on. Good god is it fun pounding tanks with indirect fire. I need to seriously just finish up the rest of my games rather than keep buying new ones. Games I got to finish: Star Wars Empires at War Final Fantasy XII Mario Strikers (can't really finish it but I need...

    Dell 1501 w/1 Gig RAM and Vista Premium

    My advice? Get the 2 gigs. Vista will run ok with 1 gig. I really can't get a good idea of what kind of threshold you have for slow. If it means just surfing the net and word processing then yeah, it would work. DVD playback will be so so. Contrary to what people believe Vista does run with 1...

    Anyone have a Vostro?

    a friend of mine has one. Its has little to no bloatware. It doesn't have any "bling" to it. Looks fairly no descript but functions as a very well built laptop. gobucks has it right, it was a bit heavy from my impressions of lifting it.

    Ultralight vs Gaming . . .

    I'm in the neighborhood for an ultralight. I do game and I have a good desktop rig reserved for that. In the past I have bought a number of desktop replacement laptop in the form of large heavy, space heaters. For the most part it wasn't a big deal. I was in college at the time but didn't need...

    How much is too much?

    Maybe mini games where a damaged control system may bring up a schematic overlay and he has to re-route power by figuring out how to connect the broken circuits using a sets of straight, looped, 90 degree wires. I dunno. . . Actually the more I think about it the more I dunno how this is...

    How much is too much?

    I dunno you can add a lot of depth in a genre that really has not rules. Who to say you can't add a flux capacitor on a starship and zip around time. Sticking to some basic physics principles only adds more realism in a game that is based on fiction. But in reality whether the technology will...

    For those who love the Nostromo n52 as I do

    Your statement about costing a lot of money to upgrade, makes sense. That I can understand, but there really isn't a reason to bash MS over the head for it. You always have a choice, which it sounds like you have. MS is a business like many others. Although I wish they gave OSs for free...

    Modding console legality...

    I dunno but the idea that "one guy ruined it for the rest of us" comes to mind. I look at mod chips and adding more functionality to an expensive game/media device as a good thing. For the record, I have a job and purchase my games so this in no way implies that stealing or playing illegal ISOs...

    How much is too much?

    I have to agree. A mini game is fine but I believe his question is how tedious does a game get before it becomes more "busy" work than fun. The pilot flys the ship, the 2 gunners fire weapons, the bombadier drops and times the explosive discharge, and we got the lowly engineer stuck behind a...

    How much is too much?

    A couple of things come to mind. . . I'm no programmer, mind you. You listed a pretty broad question in your post. "Would it be too much work to be fun?" The question is pretty subjective, but there are some questions you can answer to help narrow down the answer. Is this game built around...

    For those who love the Nostromo n52 as I do

    Nice additions so far. There's a lot of good information in this thread. Even more so its got the most views of all the threads in this category. Perhaps a sticky? I know we aren't the only N52 lovers out there.

    World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

    I don't think battlegrounds are completely worthless. As a matter of fact I feel they are more like training grounds for eventual pvp encounters. Sure the dynamics are different and a lot more people are involved but what better way to learn your class's limitations then by doing pvp via...

    Fun multiplay game for a HTPC? (not PC to PC, but same screen)

    Hellgate: London gets firm release date.

    I dunno, I don't think it works that way. . . I think it allows access to other content that gives access to farm more powerful items. You don't go to an online market place to buy uber weapon +10 to pwn (like maple story). You have to pay to access that and quests assigned to those weapons...

    World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King

    I will have to agree with the earlier statement above. When a game starts to mimic a job than its no longer a game. I like to level as well. I like seeing patches (nerfs or buffs). I like being able to know more about the story line (whether some argue it exists or not). I just enjoy playing...

    Warlock, Hunter or Mage for PVP in WoW???

    I'm going to take a shot at this. . . It doesn't sound like the mob isn't scaling well nor is it an issue of the a bad combo. I think it really comes down to coordination. I admit I'm starting to dual box (main desktop and laptop). And I'm noticing that certain combos just lend themselves...

    Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2

    Don't get me wrong, my play style varies quite differently from what I play in run and gun games like UT and Quake. I treat games by Tom Clancy with a bit more caution - one life to live mentality. I don't want you to get the impression I simply dive in and start blowing stuff up. Rainbow Six...

    RealVNC in Vista

    I'm also having some VNC issues. I'm pretty sure its just VNC and its derivatives are having issues coping with Vista. As knowledge builds up on how Vista works more mature support will be develop for VNC. (i.e. you're not the only one having issues with VNC and vista.) Best way I found to...

    Voice Commander. . . . over a network

    This has been a project I've been thinking about but really don't know quite how to go about it. Honestly, I don't even know how viable the whole thing is. I have a program called voice commander, which does exactly what its namesake says. It will perform commands for me via voice control...

    For those who love the Nostromo n52 as I do

    Glad to here it. Don't get me wrong aka1nas's method work's like a charm. The keyboard is recognized an HID compliant device (basically half a keyboard) and you can get all your buttons remapped in game to get the device working but you don't have much control over macros and such that really...

    For those who love the Nostromo n52 as I do

    Pretty sure that there is no replacing of an "older" BCDedit file. The program states that they use the BCDedit.exe to make the changes. It does however makes a copy of the existing BCDedit file originally in the system, so you have a backup . I don't really see the harm in that. The way Vista...

    For those who love the Nostromo n52 as I do

    I have a life........NOT

    True, a distribution system or cloning software can synch across all the machines. I'm also talking about the UI and mods used to accomplish the setup. For the most part all the variables are stored in the wtf and accounts folder. So I guess if the machines are exactly identical and the monitor...

    I have a life........NOT

    I don't really understand quite where you are getting at. Boxing has nothing to do with botting. . . You still have control over your characters, aside from some macros used in game there is very little automation. What is automated is key stroke sending. Software and/or combination of hardware...

    Ahh, there's nothing like the WoW playerbase

    No necessarily. Keep in mind people tend to look at the bad side of things without the other representative half. Remember the phrase, "It only takes a few bad apples . . ."

    Ahh, there's nothing like the WoW playerbase

    I think its based on a number of things. I still have to agree that any popular game including the MMO genre is susceptible. Wow is probably the most popular of all the MMO's so it will more than likely have a larger player base. Sure everyone is spread out but that doesn't detract from the fact...

    For those who love the Nostromo n52 as I do

    Hate to break it to you but since Vista has been in beta Belkin has started to wane support for the N52. Taken from an old howto guide. 1. Get VistaBootPro 3.2 http://www.vistabootpro.org and disable x64's driver integrity check (no more F8 needed) 2. Restart 3. Install the latest beta...

    Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2

    I liked GRAW1 in concept. It was a great game in my opinion and the difficulty I think is justified in a way because of its realism. However I did not like the fact of how the game played.

    X-UO players come in!!!!

    Not to turn the topic way off subject but thats one of big complaints I had in WoW. No guild houses? This I really don't understand. UO had it EQ had it, but why are MMOs having such a hard time with building guild houses. I think Guild wars did it nicely, it just became its own separate...
