"Itch" aka "need desperately because I'm a BF3 idiot".

I loved TrackMania so hopefully TM2 will be just as awesome. It appears only pre-orderers of the game get beta access at this point.
I'm in the midst of a Sandy Bridge build and I wonder if the Audigy 2ZS is worthy to slap onto a MSI P67A-GD65 board with Realtek ALC892 onboard audio using Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate. I'm using Audio-Technica ATH-A900 cans for headphones and Logitech X-540 5.1 speakers for... speakers.

So my 5 1/2 year old rig bit the dust and I am forced, yeah, forced to put together a new gaming rig. I've been cramming for the last couple of days on the latest hardware and configurations so here's what I've come up with so far. I just want to make sure I'm not wasting my money or...
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Visio, large maps/files, large print jobs, multiple file access, multi-tasking
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$2500 max - tax/shipping included
3) Where do you live?
Arizona
4) What exact...

I'm a huge TrackMania fan/player and this makes me nervous for TrackMania 2.

Took 'em a while but they've released news about patch 1.50. Unfortunately the patch won't be coming for a while. :(
So here we go again. Another title looking to recapture the glory days of space sim combat. Release date is scheduled for Sept 23rd. It looks decent enough, but I've had that thought before and been thoroughly disappointed. It's another one to keep an eye on...
So... I'm presented with ordering a video card from Newegg on the cheap and I'm trying to get one that comes with a free game. NeverWinter Nights 2 and Dawn of War: Dark Crusade are my choices. Which game is better overall?
I've played Oblivion and enjoyed that. I've played Supreme...
After reading a few disturbing reviews showing the 175.19 drivers performing much worse than the 175.16 I decided to do a test myself. The review sites use newer hardware than I have so I didn't know if their numbers applied to my situation. FYI I use DriverCleaner Pro after each driver...

I just snagged an X2 4800 so I need to rid myself of my trusty AMD 3700+ San Diego.
The 3700 is a little over 2 years old and has been cooled by a Zalman 7700AlCu cooler. I've never overclocked the 3700. It's in perfect condition, all the pins are nice and straight and the surface of the CPU...
Well here's yet another space combat sim we can try out. The demo was released today. Here's a link to some info about a hands-on experience: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/sim/tarrchronicles/news.html?sid=6178026&om_act=convert&om_clk=newsfeatures&tag=newsfeatures;title;1

$20 prepay before September 30th. It's scheduled to start at 10am but no end time has been set. ;) The last one was 24 hours but I know the admins want to shorten this one up. There are 200 seats available and as of 8/23/07, 56 people have registered.
Since it's uber cool to start your own BioShock thread this is my thread and I must point out the glaring deficiencies in BioShock:
- There's no RTS elements.
- There's no monthly fee. :(
- There's no camera zoom.
- There's no patch for the game and it's been out FOREVER.
- The demo...

That's where I got mine. I'm sure it's available at many other web sites. I know a few people were interested in this even though the reviews have not been good thus far.
I love the Transformers and all they stand for but I'm skeptical about...
For those of you who might be wondering, BF2 stats haven't updated since June 13th, 14th or 15th for almost everyone. EA is "working on it" but as usual, they're painfully slow.
From an EA rep: "Some people will see stat updates. It's a similar situation to the previous occurance of this...

It's the 48 hour madness sale and I bit. :eek: I enjoyed the demo and I couldn't pass up the game for this price.

A new game on the horizon. I haven't seen much news on it but the trailers look pretty stellar. Hopefully the game play follows suit. :D

You've probably read the news blurb on the front page of [H] but these coolers intrigue me. I've found a few reviews for the S2 but none for the S1. I haven't found them available to purchase, either. :( I wants it! :mad: (the S1, that is, for my 7800GT)...
From http://www.battlefieldpodcast.com/ look at Episode 48 (today's current episode) and head to around the 20th minute or so and they've got 3 photos of screenshots of what could be Battlefield 3 according to their anonymous source. All I have to say is, "Oh."

I play games. I want to be good at whatever game I'm playing. I need a good mouse and a good mouse pad to do so.
I've got an MX518 and it's a good 'nuff mouse but after switching from my old Func 1030 to the Ratpadz XT it's like a FREAKY new mouse. :eek: This XT is absolutely...
