    Best monitors with dim brightness?

    In terms of retaining color, I`d absolutely recommend NEC monitors but I will warn that they`re pricey (and that while I`m perfectly happy to use them for gaming, they *are* 60Hz IPS panels with less-than-perfect response time). General type: IPS, 8-bit-input/hardware-calibrated via 10-bit LUT...

    Republic of Gamers Announces Centurion True 7.1 Surround Gaming Headset

    Not endorsing 7.1 headphones, but it's simply not true. Human hearing has significant directionality - including on the vertical axis (unlike, say, dogs - which have to tilt their heads to obtain information on that axis). The real question is how well a given pair of multichannel directional...

    Newer games and Quad-Cores

    For gaming, quad's not worth it. I've got a Q6600 @ 3.2 GHz (lower-than-stock voltage, the heatsink is the Noctua NH-U12F, very quiet and max load temp is <55C in an Antec P182). It's amazing. But...for gaming, almost nothing uses the multiple cores. The real benefits of quad are media...

    CoD4 Hardcore mode?? More like WUSS-mode!

    It's insane that they don't have OS/HC as filterable...or even viewable.

    CoD4 Hardcore mode?? More like WUSS-mode!

    It was late. I forgot. +to my restrictions: Kill Martyr, kill Last Stand. hm...anyone else noticed that the "unload mod" screen says "Lanuch without mods" instead of "Launch"?

    CoD4 Hardcore mode?? More like WUSS-mode!

    This is what hardcore _should_ have been: Hardcore+ No UAV/Airstrike/Chopper. Limited spawns/round (at least as an option, 1 - Last Man Standing) Some decent gear restriction options (eg. no nades, no grenade launcher attachment) I'd probably play 5-10 times more than I do now if this was how...

    Sins of a Solar Empire - how is it?

    I don't particularly like the whole phase-lane system. It's perfectly acceptable, yes, but I'd love a 4X game in the Starfire universe. I've attempted to bring a couple things into line with this, by abusing scale to make anything but wormholes impractical, and linking all systems with wormhole...

    Lag/Performance issues in Cod4...

    1. Your post(s) suck. Do better next time. 2. I'm running at 1920X1200 with a near-identical setup. Max settings, 16XAniso, No AA. Runs fine (60 ish fps) except when I run into the smoke bug (smoke nade's smoke fails to dissipate, I take a huge framerate hit). How does this compare to your...

    First Time Comp Build

    Uh...fewer caps please. Also: Nothing "requires" a PCI Express 2.0 x16 Slot. A PCI Express x16 slot is all (and that's only strongly recommended, not required).

    Warhammer Series Question

    Warhammer - Fantasy (eg. Medieval, but with magic, orks, mutants, etc) Warhammer 40k - 38'000 (I think?) years in the future. Still has orks, mutants, etc, but also shiny tech.

    Half Life 2 Cinematic Mod v7.0 coming today!

    Eh, I like it. Sorta like Oblivion's hires pack. I think this is the first compelling reason to upgrade to 64-bit I've seen. Dual booting, here I come... Sure, I've got 4GB RAM installed (3GB in 32-bit XP), but that last 1 GB doesn't feel at all necessary or usable yet.

    Finished Bioshock - My take - Spoilers

    Just my experience of BioShock: No Vsync, no triple buffering = fine, but tearing Vsync, no triple buffering = "mouse lag" Vsync, triple buffering = happiness Also: They really gave you too much ammo...I would've been happier with ~1/3-1/2 the ammo.

    Ideas for a competitive FPS anyone?

    ...Do enlighten me, please. I've looked, and the options list is pretty sparse. Edit: When you launch the mod warfare, the unlaunch button says "Lanuch without Mods" ... erm. And the game's been out how long now? Edit2: I think I understand now: You have to use the ModWarfare mod, edit it to...
