    Got diablo 2 battlechest

    The battle chest comes with Diablo as well, right? That is not a game that should be skipped in favor of newer and supposedly better options. Don't expect to find anyone to group with, though.

    Anyone else just buy games and never get around to playing them?

    I have a hard time passing up known good games when they hit the bargain bin, particularly knowing that at some point they may be hard or impossible to find. I only have a few games that I've never played, but many that I've only barely played. Even games that I know absolutely I will love...

    Enabiling Alchemy in Team Fortress 2 (Auzentech Prelude)

    If you have it set up correctly, after running the game there should be a file called "dsoundlog.txt" in the same directory as the game's executable file. If you open that file, it should say something like "Loaded dsound.ini. Using native OpenAL renderer." Then you know the game's sound is...

    Letting your kids play videogames...

    Seriously? Wolfenstein and Doom at age 4? That is crazy on many levels.

    Just bought 2 each of Hellgate:L and GOW-PC

    Hellgate London does not support LAN play. Either you play single player, or you play on the official servers. Maybe bad news if you can't get both get online and use the game server. If you can get online it should be fairly friendly for casual coop play. Zones in the early game can be...

    Best defrag software?

    Honestly, I'd bet most people have never defragged their hard drive at all, much less with 3rd party software. Even the ones with internet access. ;)

    Is Hellgate worth 25 bucks?

    If you like a good old fashioned hack n slash with some new fangled 3D graphics, it is probably worth $25 and then some, because you don't have many other games that can give you this. Unfortunately, the tile sets are linear and repetitive, the story line, while good for a few cheap laughs, is...

    Understanding Audio

    Here is how I understand it. Hopefully someone will correct any major errors. In Windows XP, DirectSound3D games could interact with sound cards at a low level using something called the Hardware Abstraction Layer. Vista doesn't work like that, so when your DirectSound3D game tries to find...

    Creative versus Daniel_K

    A given Intel processor is advertised to operate at certain specifications, and almost always meets those easily out of the box. Is the hardware capable of more without stability issues? Almost certainly. Is the hardware even intentionally gimped by having a locked multiplier? Sometimes...

    Classics that HAVE to be played/replayed

    It's kind of a trick question. Any game that popular and influential must be a classic of one sort or another. It is pretty complex to write off as a kid's game though, despite the intentionally cute monsters and intentional lack of graphic violence. If you don't figure out what you are doing...

    Deus Ex: Why do you love it?

    What's not to like? Incredible developing plot. The ability to alter your playing style by choosing different specializations, affecting not just combat but all aspects of the game. Limited inventory and weapon modification abilities allowing you to make choices which further led to a sense...

    ::Chuckles:: Monster Cables vs. Metal Coat Hangers

    Let me say first off that for short runs I consider some cheap thing with a sturdy connector more than sufficient. Shielding issues probably come into play too, but we are talking about a simple device that shouldn't cost us hundreds of dollars to get right. The description of the test...

    Best RPG ever??

    I tend to think of games like Torment as being true to the spirit of real RPGs. Console RPG is a very distinct genre, and yet seems to have nothing to actually do with roleplaying. Hack and slash games are more or less pure combat and yet have always been considered RPGs. I guess all of...

    Scaling works, but not at 640x480?

    174.12 drivers exhibited the same behavior, but allow custom resolutions from the control panel. After some fiddling, I was able to create a pair of 640x480 resolutions that do exactly what I want with my monitor. ;) Thanks again. Now to find out what all I've broken by changing to these...
