I hope six days isn't considered necroing, but I didn't want to start a whole new thread for the same game :) As this game was officially released yesterday, has anyone picked it up? How is the single player? How is the multiplayer co-op? The multiplayer versus? What do you like about the game...

I don't understand people who use the argument "it's in beta! that's what betas are for! It will be fixed!" Um no. Being currently employed in a MMO publishing company, betas, especially OPEN betas, are basically the end product minus a few tweaks and skill balances for release. If a person...

Let me preface this by saying I haven't tried Champions Online, so I am not commenting on its quality and will be speaking broadly. As someone who is employed in a MMO game company (albeit F2P), phobic is correct. Generally, a game in open beta is near ready-to-release state, with the exception...

I beg to differ. You do realize that the technology for joysticks has been out for decades. Arcade joysticks are a bunch of metal and plastic with primitive electronics. These companies are raping you on the prices, having you believe that paying under $100 for technology that has been out for...

If you're looking to play WoW for the first time ever, I'd say definitely go ahead and do it... It really is a game that has defined a generation as far as the PC gaming industry is concerned, and it would be a shame to not even have dabbled in the phenomenon that is(was?) WoW. As far as AoC...

Correct, you would need a 3.5mm converter to plug directly into your computer's line-in audio sound port.

lol no kidding, I was starting to get this vibe reading through the thread =) On topic, I had a 15.4" that I carried around to school a lot when I first got it but it eventually got too cumbersome. A little too big to be dragging around back and forth to classes. Downgraded to a 14.1" Dell...

Hey all, just looking for some fun games to pass the time while at work. I was wondering if anyone knew if any good webpage riddle games, as there are quite a few out there and I don't want to sort through the garbage =( I'm talking about those games where you edit the URL bar to advance to...

First off, I sincerely apologize if this subject has already been beaten to death. I was wondering if anybody has any experience using OpenOffice? How is it compared to the Microsoft Office suite? Is it compatible with Office 2000-2007 documents/spreadsheets/ppt presentations? Can it read MS...

Yep, I started off with Halo 3 and had a blast playing it... Then, about two weeks ago, I caved in to pressure and got CoD4. I've been playing it non stop and haven't touched Halo 3. Yesterday, I tried to go back to Halo 3 and found that the framerate was TERRIBLE. It's practically unplayable...

This is often the case for small packages or orders under $100. Once you receive your tracking number, you should probably contact the carrier directly and ask them to require a signature for the delivery =) As far as Frys.com, I've ordered RAM from them. It came in 4 days to California...

Not to be a party pooper, but just as a heads up. An order confirmation from Frys.com does not mean an item is in stock and will ship out. If an item is backordered or discontinued, you will receive another email shortly after the order confirmation email stating the order cannot be fulfilled...

Have had my 360 for over a year. Constant gaming online and offline. Have never had any problems with it whatsoever. Maybe I've just been lucky, but I keep the xbox horizontal rather than vertical for better ventilation, if that makes any difference.

Past: I started out with Dark Age of Camelot, which had some of the best PvP I've experienced. Then I went to Final Fantasy XI Online.... oh god, what a grind fest. Granted, it did have a great weapon skill chain combat system, which I've yet to see anything comparable in any other games...

Yeah, I was having a hell of a time trying to figure out what to do... I ended up plugging it into my damn monitor's built-in crappy speakers. What did you end up doing?
