    Online Relationships Don't Last

    Just read the article, and I was way too light on actual information. It did acknowledge that some online relationships can work, but you have to "watch out for the pitfalls" - like, meet them BEFORE you decide to move in together. You don't say! Didn't see anything in the article about...

    NVIDIA To "Simplify" Product Range

    Amen. Life was easier with the TNT, TNT 2. GeForce, Geforce 2... Go back to that. Just use the number of the generation, and a descriptive word instead of the greek code. I could interpret GeForce 10 Standard, vs. GeForce 10 Ultimate, vs GeForce 10 Budget, versions. These kids today, what...

    Doom 4, What do you think?

    Can we assume this game will be released before Du** Nu*** Fo*****.....? ;D

    SiN Episode 1: Emergence

    I liked it too. But unfortunately, it'll probably take more than a thread at [H] before another episode gets made :o

    How many of you have actually encountered a virus?

    Back in college, around 1989/1990, I was swapping games and programs like crazy with my 3l33t Mac Plus (TWENTY meg hard drive, fear it). Ran an anti-virus program and the system was just riddled with them. That was the wakeup call. Since then, honestly, I can't remember getting any. Due to...

    Was I out of line? (GTA4 related Story)

    Like a pp said though...if the kid started crying when it was taken away...he's probably not ready for it. Although I might have cried too if my wife made me put it back on the shelf.

    GTA IV: First Impressions (no spoilers)

    Well, this depends on the definition of a sandbox game, but I gotta disagree with you there. Ultima 1 was a sandbox game. ^_^

    Was I out of line? (GTA4 related Story)

    QFT. Unless a kid is preternaturally mature, 10 is too young for GTA. Of course, my wife managed to take several photographs of me playing it last night, with my 2 month old son on my lap, facing the teevee. Welcome to the world, Junior! That's Niko Bellic. That's his gun. That's his...

    GTA IV: First Impressions (no spoilers)

    One of the things I do especially like about the game...the pedestrians are a LOT easier to run over than in some of the previous games. Those bastards had some wheels. Now, half of them stare at you dumbfounded while you plow them into walls. Others actually jump. And you can send a line of...

    GTA IV: First Impressions (no spoilers)

    Well, I would argue that GTA 3 was a quantum leap in sandbox gaming, because of the way it implemented the concept, integrating a living city with side-missions, mini-games, storyline, and character advancement (to the extent that getting better houses and more money to buy better stuff is...

    GTA IV: First Impressions (no spoilers)

    OK, I really hate knee-jerk contrarianism, so I'm not saying this just to stake out my own cred, BUT....I'm not quite feeling the same love for GTA4. I managed to find a copy yesterday right after work, and spent most of the evening playing it. It is fun. It is a very good game. Still, it...

    Best game you ever played?

    What a tough call. Some of the best I've played, not crammed into a list of 5... Ultima Underworld Ultima 4 & 7 Quake 2, esp. CTF Grim Fandango Dark Age of Camelot Baldur's Gate 2 Diablo 2 M.U.L.E. Half-Life Civilization 2 Super Mario Kart Knights of the Old Republic Gabriel...

    good-bye vista

    I finished my new rig earlier this week. Never used Vista before, and have been very happy with XP over the last 4 or 5 years. When I started planning the new build, I just assumed I'd stick with XP. Literally every other discussion I'd seen of it was an OP mentioning that they're thinking...

    Some Vista x64 noob questions

    (OP) Alright, I guess I'll leave the services alone. Turning everything off that I don't use is a knee-jerk reaction after 14 years with Windows...it's always helped keep my systems stable and generally reduce bloat. But it doesn't sound like that's of any benefit with Vista services, let...

    Some Vista x64 noob questions

    Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll leave UAC alone for a few more days and see if it stays quite so annoying. I'm probably jinxing myself by saying this, but I'm surprised just how un-problematic Vista x64 has been so far. No problems with any apps yet, and I even threw a couple of games on...
