#1: Permafrost prevents them from burying the cables underground. It ain't cheap to thaw out the ground just to bury these cables for these 150 miles from Fairbanks. There is no road access to Tanana, only by air or river boat can they be accessed. #2: 80% of the villagers (about 250 out of...

Yeah, that's because the Alaska Blockbuster stores are "Blockbusters in Name Only". They are owned by another company, Border Entertainment, who will end up owning 26 (13 in Alaska) out of the remaining 52 Blockbuster stores left open after all the Dish-owned stores close down. They will keep...

Sigh, FAI? Good thing I bought a dedicated GPS for the next trip up to Fairbanks in a couple months from now. Wheee, winter driving. No worries, I have enough common sense to NOT drive through airport security, let alone getting even close to a runway/taxiway.

Not sure about the environmentalists? Wouldn't they be all about saving energy resources and reducing pollution? Doesn't THIS do pretty much the job while saving time on travel? Sure, we would have to make a path for this, but it's pretty miniscule compared to how many roads there are in...

You can also see the Portal Gun on the bookshelf (shelf?) in the background on the video.

It came up all funky-like in Firefox. So here's a link to version 2.0 on their site (had to find it on my own manually): http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_2_0.zip

1.0 WAS also set to be released for the PS3, but because of the disastrous launch of the game and the lack of content/players, they had to put it on hold and decided to fix the game instead before even proceeding with the work on the PS3. They decided to put in a new game engine in instead of...

You've given me a peace of mind on ordering the GPU yesterday before it went OOS. I have almost exactly the same setup as you do with the new GPU (upgrading from a 6850), so reading your comment on the Tomb Raider with the max settings with TressFX enabled and seeing that you have been getting...

Pretty sure you can buy items at Costco and Sams Club without a membership at either stores. You will have to pay a 10% markup at both because you're not a member. It can depend greatly on what you buy. Oftentimes it's a lot cheaper to buy a membership than to deal with the 10% markup if you...

Sorry to hear that it didn't work for you. I just placed an order for the MYST edition and applied the code, coming down with the final total of 208.79 for the card, with the 2-day Shoprunner shipping for me. Excellent deal over the Pitcairn 7870 at this price. I have done extensive research...

Yes, its a click-type scrolling mouse. I have the G400, got it for 30 off Amazon about a couple months ago. 20 bucks is an excellent price for a starter/basic no-frills gaming mouse.

There's still some hope for you, Ruoh. Beta Phase 2 will come in a few weeks. They might invite more people then. They will also invite WAY more people for the Phase 3. That's in April, most likely. Each Beta Phases are about 3-4 weeks long.

No, drstk - as long as you have the game listed in the service account page on the Square Enix Account Management System, you're good to go.

pliskin679: Even mentioning your opinion on and commenting about the gameplay in the beta is against the NDA, regardless if it's positive or negative. I'm not trying to be a party pooper, but I just don't want to see you lose your beta privileges. They really do clamp down on these severely...

Google "Gamers Window Relocator". That thing works like a charm to make it look like full screen even when it's on windowed mode. Very useful for certain games too.
