    Conan Challenge

    Got mine too..I missed this thread with all my video gaming-and the release date of the book snuck up on me. Three of REH's longer Conan stories? Woot!

    6 days...

    This is true technically speaking in regards to doing things other than just playing the game. But what about 2 years from now? Say I just discover the game. Not all companies are as successful as Valve; alot dont support games for years..how would I be able to play the game ( or replay an old...

    6 days...

    Yep. An effort to reduce piracy- your game isnt complete until you get on Steam and unlock it. It also I think is an attempt to drive the consumer to an online, boxless method of game distribution, ie Steam. I have mixed feelings myself. I understand protecting their rights, but its annoying...

    The Halo 2 Thread

    Yes most levels it does. But there are usually alot of gun/equipment racks laying about. Sigh I just finished SP. i dawdled and it took 6 days. Gonna have to replay to catch some plot/dialogue stuff. I have a few issues with the game, but no spoilers till a decent time passes. Still a good game...

    G4TechTV Sucks!

    I dont know if Eb games is an owner, but they are a major sponsor agreed. I really dont mind the network doing theme days for the big games San Andreas, Halo 2 and Half Life, since many of the shows are reruns that are just tangentially related to the game of the day. After all this is a video...

    G4TechTV Sucks!

    Actually its funny..I liked Portal too :) Anyways, my rant: I havent watched much of the channel since the merger. I used to watch Screen Savers everyday since youd get some bit of info, but no more. TSS wasnt perfect,(it sometimes resembled a cable access show) but it was a nice computer geek...

    Polar Express 'creepy'?

    I saw the trailer. I dont think it was creepy, but it did look odd. The funny thing about these things is that someone used to say video games, sees stuff like this. To an "untrained" eye who doesnt their view of it may be different. Anyway, part of the effect is explained in this months Wired...

    The Halo 2 Thread

    There is no health bar. If your shield goes down get cover- a few hits and youll die. When I frst read this I was wary, but it does make you be a bit more careful. PLus the shield recharges alot faster. On the plus side you dont take damage from long jumps (except for the suicidal ones). Im...

    Work on Halo 2 game 'finished'

    I may take the plunge. My provider is Insight which doesnt give too much Xbox info/support and has had a wonky technical record in regards to broadband. More than once Ive gotten conflicting hardware information from them. Im unsure of having have to use a hub/second IP combo, a router, or just...

    Work on Halo 2 game 'finished'

    Hm I may have to get Xbox live depending on how my fellow ENWorlders rate the MP. But Bungie.net rocked back in the day with Myth II, and Bungies plan for Halo 2 on Xbox Live looks amazing. My ISP is kinda sucky tho...hmmmm

    Enterprise 11-05-04

    Ya I know, but since they seem to be filling in a lot of blanks in the Star Trek prequel history coloring book, Id like this little part to be "officially" covered. Really though I figure it was just a fashion in the Klingon Empire. And like fashion mistakes made by us on earth (bell bottoms...

    Enterprise 11-05-04

    A slight detour topic wise, but Im wondering..given Mr Coto's putting the series back on its pre TOS track, any idea if he'll answer the biggest Star Trek question: Why Klingons look different in TOS then is Enterprise and TNG? Of course it only matters to my own geeky self- my pet way for it...

    Rate "The Incredibles"

    Plus, the corporate outlook at Pixar seems to be anti sequel for sequels sake. Ive read in Wired that they dont refer to movies as the "franchise" or "product". It seems that Disney would be committing suicide if they truly let Pixar go (or dont get them back). Disney traditional animation...

    Starlancer being very uncooperative!

    Hmm I really dont know. My only other suggestion would be to try it in Win 98 compatibility mode. It is odd there is no patch.. but then again it was published by Microsoft... Probably 90% of games made before xp work and well. A few arent as compatible and a tiny bit just wont work. And like...

    Starlancer being very uncooperative!

    Hmm I wont state the obvious about background applications, drivers etc..Are you using a joystick or gamepad? Also if I remember correctly (and from re reading some reviews online) Starlancer was prone to crashing. You may check for the latest patch. Or maybe a fan site has a homemade patch if...
