    Smallest Size, highest resolution.

    What he said. Current production, 4:3 Planar monitors at 1280x1024 and 17" would be high density.

    Is there a perfect monitor?

    Some of the Sony LCD/CRT bridge PVM monitors. Upwards of $20k, but hey, you're picky...

    HELP! What happens if I...?

    Nothing bad will happen, it will just be stretched/distorted to a small degree (depending on the resolutions). The video card and monitor will resize everything automagically to fit the screen. The image will be degraded, but likely not enough for you to care.

    Origin, Steam, and the concept of "competition"

    I wonder the age and background of the people who pro monopoly and those who are anti... I personally don't care where the game comes from. I'm more price conscience. I don't play multi-player much. And saying you don't want 20 different services running...if you are the type of person who will...

    Games or books?

    I buy books and read them, but buy games and play them later. So no backlog of books, but lots of games. Book costs are cheap to begin with, so never really look for sales. I don't buy games at retail, so if I see a good price online, I'll buy it with the intent of playing it later. Probably...

    Remember Rebel Assault?

    Remember when my neighbor got a new 386 for Christmas and it had a CD-ROM drive. Had some Sherlock Holmes game. FMV was like whoaaaa, the computer can talk! Then there was Rebel Assault...I can't remember a game that made me go "wow this game is the shit!" to "this game IS shit!" all in the...

    Happy Birthday Dreamcast!!!

    It could run Windows CE or other operating systems. The O/S was on the disc, rather than built in.

    Ya know, I don't think I'm ever paying more than $12 for a game again

    I think this is true as well. I doubt anything like another Planescape Torment or Baulders Gate 2 will ever be released. Have a large enough backlog I could go years without buying another game and not catch up. Simply too much out there or coming out. Same for movies. There are more classic...

    Ya know, I don't think I'm ever paying more than $12 for a game again

    I don't know if I'd say I'm maturing out of games. I think, as with all people, interests in certain things wax and wane over time. I used to be into guns, but have kind of moved off those the past few years. I like reading this forum and people complaining and being passionate about their...

    Ya know, I don't think I'm ever paying more than $12 for a game again

    Seems to be the new sweet spot for me. I don't get all the hoopla over the $50 and $60 games these days. Been playing games a bit over 25 years now, and they just haven't gotten to be worth more than that. I think the whole gaming experience has been cheapened. I've gotten to the point of...

    Dragon Age II stuttering with high FPS

    Started playing yesterday, but all my slowndowns occur in the cutscenes??? Gameplay is fine, just when it jumps to a talking thing it really chugs and voices run over each other.

    HP 2509b Review

    Picked up one to replace my ZR24W. Was tired of the AG coating. BestBuy for $200. Very pleased with it. If looking at it from off angles, some green/yellow tint, but nothing bothersome. Very pleased, especially for the money. I'll get used to the 120 less pixels, but the AG coatings are just a...

    Anyone here remember "DWANGO?"

    In Northeast Texas and Chicago was our closest dwango. Made for sad panda, couldn't afford to really play due to long-distance charges.
