    Battlefield 3 is $29.99 on Origin for today only Black Friday

    That is an insanely good price. If you don't have this, you really shouldn't pass it up...been enjoying the crap out of this game. Regarding the Origin issues - it's a bit of a nuisance to have Steam + Origin sitting in the background, but Origin is really pretty unobtrusive for the most part...

    EA can't help... any ideas?

    have you tried just plugging into the modem to eliminate that question?

    Am I the only one sitting BF3 out?

    I understand your hesitation, but the beta...was terrible. The actual game is nothing even close, in terms of performance, gameplay, stability, graphics...anything. It doesn't feel like the same game. The only thing I can say is that I still don't really like the battlelog interface, but it...

    Battlefield BC2. Graphical glitches.

    I had some of the same issues. Stock temps, card and everything is clean as a whistle and I monitored temps, never above 70f. I think it's a driver issue.

    Steam Summer Sales 2011 - unofficial Thread

    I've been really disappointed with this sale. A lot of games I either already have, or wouldn't touch. And I really don't have that many games.

    Anyone gone to Ubuntu 11.04 yet?

    I wouldn't usually post in a thread like this, but this is just so...uninformed. I know it had been said before, but one of my biggest issues with the Linux community are myopic supporters that just revel in their own OS's obscurity. It makes absolutely no sense, and it kills momentum that would...

    What do I do now?

    It has been a while since I built my system (in sig), so things might have changed. But my steps any time something like this happens: 1. Unplug everything from the back of the PC. EVERYTHING. 2. Pop out the CMOS battery, leave it out for 15. This should reset any non-hardware overclocks...

    Top 3 Games

    Maybe this is just nostalgia, but these three games were just epic. Single Player 1. Half Life 2 2. Morrowind 3. Portal Multiplayer 1. Counter Strike 1.3 2. BFBC2 3. Red Orchestra Ostfront

    Interview: Battlefield 3 and the 'dying' PC platform

    BC2 was incredibly fun, for what it was: a closer-scale modern combat game. I can't even count the hours I've spent with that game, worth every penny. Most of the people complaining probably never played it, on some flawed principle. And, for the record, it played excellent on a range of...

    Indigo Prophecy on PC?

    Bought it on the steam sale last year. Tons of fun for the first couple hours, but the story fell apart SO HARD at the end that it left me staring blankly, and wishing I had not wasted so much time on it.

    Is MSI a good brand?

    Never had any issues with MSI products. But, as always, check reviews on Newegg. They are more telling than anything.

    Games that require good graphic cards

    I'll second Just Cause 2. Some of the shots from the mountaintop (and in the city) are pretty awesome. After about 2 hours, the game had some slight artifacts in really heavy scenes...so I'm guessing it was pushing the crap out of my HD5850...

    Cheap Upgrade from GeForce 7300 LE

    If you're looking to play Metro 2033, neither of those cards is going to be that great. The problem is partly the processor...basically, if you sunk any more into a better video card, you're probably still going to be bottlenecked by the processor down the road. Essentially, those cards would...

    what games / engines actually "use" Windows 7 features?

    I'm so tired of people getting all 'up in arms' about some game supposedly running faster on XP. Get over it, XP is old technology and is vastly outdated compared to Windows 7. Of course there are going to be a few compatibility issues, especially with a mess like BOPS. This has nothing to do...
