Thanks for the quick replies. One question. If I reinstall vista is it going to bitch about my hardware being different and give me activation headaches because of the new drives? I know in xp when I was swapping things around it locked me out because of this. This is a legit copy I got through...

Here's my setup that I'm trying to get working. I have 2x250gb sata drives that I want to make a raid 0 array to hold my media and such (no problem here, did this on my last board successfully). However, I don't want this to be my bootable partition. I have a separate 80gb sata drive that I...

How do I get perl to evaluate expressions contained in string literals? Ex. If i have this code $num = 60; print "$num/2"; How do I get it to display "30" instead of "60/2"

I was in gamestop the other day just killing some time and I overheard a conversation between a mom and a dude who worked there. The mom was with her kid and was looking for "something new" because her kid was "tired of playing all his current games." So the guy shows her gran turismo 4 and the...

That game will seem so dated in 2007 it won't be worth it. I bet it takes longer than that, something seems sketch about this whole thing (gamer intuition)

I beat the game today, started on monday (classes got in the way :\ ). Had to use save states HEAVILY but no health cheats etc. omfg the hardest part is at the end in the technodrome where you have to go through about 15 of these guys with jet packs shooting laser beams at you. Shredder was...

Yea i would say ghosts and goblins is one of the hardest NES games i've played.

Exactly the same boat. I have a 2.4ghz p4 oc'ed to 3ghz, a gig of ram, and a 9700 pro. I can still play most of today's games at a decent quality and enjoy them. I don't play computer games nearly as much as I used to so spending $500+ on a video card would definitely be excessive. So yea...

I was thinking the same thing looking through the x1900 review on this site. Here's the first one that struck me from serious sam II. http://www.hardocp.com/image.html?image=MTEzNzg5ODI2M3pQRHlTa3Y0U1NfNl84X2wuanBn I dunno how often I look at a basketball goal and see that...

Marble madness for sure. Screw using the d-pad to control, the rev controller would be perfect for it.

I was looking through some old pics and found this, looks like rockstar will have to patch gta3 now. worst part is, you don't even need a patch to access such scandalous content :p http://www.duancsc.com/n0thing/penisdude.gif

i swear i've read this EXACT article on another site. is this the original source?

http://bisqwit.iki.fi/nesvideos/ That site has tool assisted speedruns, very entertaining. I think my favorite so far is mega man X and X2 beaten using the same controller. The mario 64 one is also pretty sweet.

I was planning on getting a new comp at the beginning of the year and this looks similar to what I was thinking. I have a 17" lcd monitor so I don't need a graphics card that can play everything at 1600x1200. Is the 7800 GT powerful enough to run say.. F.E.A.R at 1280x1024? If so what AA/AF to...

I would go with the video card overheating. If I'm not mistaken wouldn't a cpu overheat cause the computer to crash rather than just the game. I have this problem with my 9700pro sometimes, play fine for a long time then I lose my game and vpu recover kicks in.

The only game my dad plays is flight sim 2000 and he's tired of using a keyboard to try to fly. So I was wondering if anyone could recommend a decent joystick for the game, nothing too fancy since it's just for flight sim, but not a pos (of course).

Oh man I'm gonna go open my window; it's hot in here. Oh shit I hope i don't get sued.

*bump, I would like to know this as well because b.net craps out on my friends starcraft and we can't play :(

Looks like you wandered into blue hell somehow. Try going into the interior of a building and walking out again to reload all the world textures.

That made me jizz my pants even if it was fake. Everyone remember that patent with all the 3d projection stuff though, kind of fits with the visor idea doesn't it? And that thing was definitely less than an inch thick.

man this is so terrible. everyone is clapping and cheering for a box in the middle of a stage.

Yea I'm not that pissed that I'll quit just kind of a shitty way to get started. *update just logged back on and my character is there. sweeeeet.

Alright, I went and got the game last night. Took about an hour to install. Had to wait another hour for updates but that didn't bother me too much. I get home today and start playing and play for a good 3 or 4 hours and get a level 6 guy that i was having fun with. Then all of a sudden it...

The AP comp sci exam was really easy for me. Just get a prep book and get comfortable with C++, or if they switched to java learn that. I had the fish program as the case study deal and it sounded easier than the bigint one; all you basically have to do is learn what the functions do and the...

Hah, this reminds me of the time when a noob friend was putting together his first comp and was telling us what he wanted to put in it and pronounced cathode as kuh-thod. If someone says sly to me referring to S.L.I I'm going to laugh in their face, simple as that.

Yea I noticed that too. It seems like none of the sequences from the trailer were left in the game. Like in ravenholm there were combine in the demo but not in the final product. Also the strider battle where he takes the letter off the hotel and throws it at him. I haven't seen the trailer in a...

Lol jeez I didn't realize this would get so out of hand over my stupid pic. The pic isn't a spoiler at all I was just fucking around with noclip and found gman standing somewhere and shot him. It's not like its part of the story or anything it was just supposed to be funny. You guys are going...

Yea I couldnt believe how bad the fire looks compared to the rest of the game. Its funny.

Nah it wasn't a spawn actually. I turned on noclip in the lab and flew off somewhere and G-Man was standing around in some random gated place. I was surprised that you could actually kill him.

This gave me a lot of satisfaction.

Stuttering is getting old and I'm pretty positive its stuttering because of autosave. Right after I hit a stutter where the video froze and the sound looped I hit esc and clicked on load and to no surprise the screenshot for the last autosave was exactly where I was in the game. Is there any way...

I have the same problem. It only happens once or twice per level though. All suggestions I've tried haven't worked. Specs: 2.4C->3.0ghz 9700 pro sound blaster 512 pc3200 80gig wd

Ok i've looked on review sites for the board and there is a ratio setting in their bios but not mine. I updated to the latest version but it still doesnt exist. Maybe they removed the feature for some stupid reason? If so where could i get an old bios.

I have geil pc3200 clocked at 400mhz right now. When I overclock my processor from 2.4->3.0ghz the ram will only run at 233mhz so the gains from increasing the processor frequency are lost by the mem bandwidth going down. I have an asus p4p800e and was wondering if there is a way to lock the...

Ok, the new suspect is the RAM because i took it out and the exact same thing happened; the comp turns on but nothing comes on the screen and I'm not getting through POST. So, does anyone know how I can find out if its the ram or the vid card?

ok, i took my cpu out of my comp and started it up and it came on for a second and quickly shut off so i'm thinking that its not the processor? maybe its the ram??

no, i dont get any POST beeps
