    Fallout 3 - Today's the day!

    Hey, sorry if this isn't the correct place to ask this but will my socket 939 PC run this game decently? I have read so many conflicting things about what system specs work or don't work I'd like to hear directly from people who actually play the game. Here's my hardware (again, this is a...

    A Quick Question on LCD TVs

    Okay, then this is what my wonderful cable provider has done (it's Comcast). In order for me to get channels like AMC and Turner Classics, channels I had before they changed up the line-up in the past 6 months, and they tell me now that in order for me to get these that have come with my plan...

    A Quick Question on LCD TVs

    My wife suggested that we might consider getting an LCD HDTV for Christmas. Right now we have analog signal TVs which means that we will have to get converter boxes from our cable provider. Since LCD HDTVs are digital and not analog (right?) and I have cable, will I need a converter box? Sorry...

    What's wrong with my computer?

    Before wiping out your HD and reinstalling I strongly suggest checking out TechSpot forums and read their Virus & Malware Removal forum, particularly their stickies. It is an excellent place for getting help.

    Recommend some Nintendo DS games!

    Anwyn listed some of the best titles for DS RPG play so I won't repeat. I would add that a number of the Kirby games are very good and don't forget some of the offerings from the Game Boy Advance error that you can play on the DS. One really interesting offering coming out in mid-November is...

    Fallout 3 Has Gone Gold; System Specs

    I have to admit that this one caught me off guard because I really didn't pay any attention to any of the reviews or previews until a few days ago. As I said, however, the trailers containing some good solid detail really grabbed my attention. I'll wait to see how the gaming community responds...

    Fallout 3 Has Gone Gold; System Specs

    I know there is plenty of angst over Bethesda taking up the franchise but I have got to say from what I've seen trailer wise it looks very interesting and the fact that it will provide hours upon hours gameplay is a plus for me. AND there is no DRM! System Specs as listed at Gamespy as of Today...

    3DO Deathkeep

    Obviously the developers weren't influenced by Tolkein elves... :erm:

    3DO Deathkeep

    I watched the whole thing and I want my 7 minutes and 47 seconds back! The narrator in the beginning (whom I assume is a necromancer) was soooooo scary! I can't believe we haven't heard his voice in other games. :D And the music... I think it was composed on a Casio keyboard. According to...

    How Does One Make Multiple Links?

    Okay, I am embarressed to ask this question :blush:, but when making a post how do you make multiple links? For example, you are researching computer parts for a new build but before pulling the trigger you ask for feedback on your choices that you are going to purchase from NewEgg. So you...

    Fantasy authors worth the reading.

    Jack Vance - The Lyonesse Trilogy (excellent) as well as his Dying Earth offerings. The man is a wordsmith. Roger Zelazny - The Amber Series (superb) as well as his fine grasp of the short story. Ursala K. LeGuin - The Earthsea Trilogy ( just never get her much later 4th book because it has...

    August '08 - What are you playing?

    I just finished Gothic 1 in the beginning of this month and now I am playing Gothic 2 with expansion. Yes, the controlls are clunky and take some getting used to but the story line is one of the most immersive I have ever played. Plus, both games are long. Both of these RPGs are excellent...

    Aug 2008: What are you reading?

    Mythago Wood by Robert Holdstock. This is the fifth time I have read it and I always find something new. I think it is by far and away Holdstock's best. His later offerings are no where close to this offering.

    Good cast, horrible movie

    QFT. I hate this movie. It was supposed to be a comedy but can anyone tell me what was funny in it or about it??? Seriously, can someone please tell me what this movie is about?

    Desktop Screen Help: Background Shows Multiples of the Same

    I recently built a second family computer from some solid left over hardware from a socket 939 system. I also utilized a Samsung 17" CRT that is 6+ years old and still chugging along. The system is rock solid. The only issue is that when we go to use backgrounds (the kind you can download...

    Burn Notice

    I really enjoyed it and I liked the idea it wasn't so abrupt in shift like a lot of series do. * Here comes a spoiler warning for those who have yet to see this episode * . . . . . . . . . . These people who want Michael are down right nasty. I mean to constantly put the child out there with...

    Anyone Play the Gothic Offerings? Question Concerning Character Development

    dvvega, thanks for the reply. I thought my post would be one of those that just fades into the internet void of the unanswered. :D Just for curiosity sake, what did you choose and how did you like the class? Did you basically stick to one type or did you find yourself building your hero with...

    Any fans of the Might & Magic games still alive?

    I really tried getting into M&M V in the past three weeks but turn base is not my style of play. I'm probably not "getting it" but I became bored rather quickly. I also didn't like the fact that I needed 6 patches at a whopping 385+ mbs to bring balance.

    Anyone Play the Gothic Offerings? Question Concerning Character Development

    I purchased Gothic Universe which contains Gothic 1, 2 +expansion, and 3. I plan on just loading one version at a time. I know that in Gothic 1 one can play either a Warrior, Mage, or Ranger. My question is, can you combine the skills to make your hero multiclass or is this game designed to...
