    HD Video Camera for a wedding

    So, my fiance and I are getting married on a semi-budget, and we can't afford a $2000+ videographer, and mainly, we just want stable, steady HD video of the ceremony, with good audio, to look at the younger, prettier versions of ourselves someday. Figure it will probably be good to have on our...

    Using a 32" HDTV for my computer monitor?

    So, I'll probably be moving in with my girlfriend in a couple of months, and she is fully stocked on TVs, leaving me essentially with a spare 32" 720p TV. I currently have a 23" LED 1080p monitor, but I was considering using my 32" 720p TV for my primary computer monitor. I mainly play RPGs...

    MMO Newbie Question re: TOR and the Story

    Thanks for the responses, really helpful. I guess since I've only ever played regular RPGs - where you play as a character for 40 or 50 hours until you beat the game, then start over as a different kind of character and play through it again, and again - my question is whether there's any...

    MMO Newbie Question re: TOR and the Story

    So explain this to me. MMORPGs: do they generally have an "ending" like most games that you can beat and complete? Seems like WoW people just keep playing and playing for thousands of hours, no? Seems like Bioware is talking up the story aspect of TOR as a contrast to existing MMOs, is this...

    Which game should I play next?

    I'm trying to work my way through my backlog (thanks Steam sales) before I buy a bunch more games. So, of the games I currently have installed, I've beat or burned myself out on BFBC2, DAO, DA2, ShogunTW, EmpireTW, Civ4, Civ5, FO3, FO:NV, ME2, EU3, SC2, Portal 1, Plants vs Zombies, TF2, CS:S...

    Mount and Blade - How is it?

    I noticed today that it's on sale on Steam for $4 for the original, and $20 for all the expansions, so I wanted to know what people thought of it nowadays. I know when it came out it was a big buggy and lacking features, but I figure it's had some time for polish, so the question is... is it...

    Dragon Age II

    Yeah, I beat DA2, and on my brother's recommendation, I bought ME2 like a week ago. Paid $20 for it. Damn.

    Shogun 2: Total War

    Re: Trade routes and wars, it's good if you are hurting for cash to make one of your conquered states a vassal instead of taking it over, then you can set up the trade route with your vassal, because they pretty much have to do what you tell them to. You can get decent income from this, plus...

    Dragon Age II

    2H Warrior Power! http://i.imgur.com/p0w65.jpg Added it all up: 7302 damage from one swing. Finished the game just now, 35 hours, lvl 21. Whew! What an "ending." For some reason the end battle reminded me of Ghostbusters. Was a Male 2H warrior/reaver/warmonger, ran with Isabella, Anders...

    Dragon Age II

    I'm 20 hours in so far, and DA2, overall I think, is pretty fantastic. Not as good as DA:O, but better than more other games out there. I always tell myself "I'll play for just an hour" and end up playing for 3-4 hours. Not to mention, I can lose myself in picking powers and tactics for 20-30...

    Help - Touching my case makes computer shut off

    So, I built a new box a week or two ago, and it's been pretty fantastic so far, except I have been having the problem stated in the title. If I even so much as touch the side of the case with a finger or USB drive or anything, it shuts off, and I don't know why. It's not like I touch my case a...
