    Voting Limit On YouTube? (Gaming Vids)

    Since I'm talking about gaming vids and there's a ton of people here making vids, thought I'd ask. Is there a limit to how many times you can vote-up ("like") videos on YT? After voting so many times that they stop counting after a certain number. I'm subscribed to a lot of gaming...

    TheWarZ Devs - Are They Nuts, Or What!?

    This was just announced, latest update, but it's this guy's unbelievable gall and propensity for bullshit that blows my mind. From the forums: This has to be one of the more stupid ****ing methods I've ever heard in 20 years of gaming, for more reasons than I'm going to bother to mention...

    Spec Ops: The Line - Opinions/Thoughts?

    What are people's thoughts on this so far from previews or the demo? Linearity made-up for by any brutal, enjoyable gameplay? Story/atmosphere actually impactful at all? Visuals mechanics, gameplay... thoughts? Maybe too scripted too much of the time for any replay value? I just found out...

    Serious Sam 3: Crashing, "Not Enough Mem", wtf!?

    Anyone else having serious (no pun intended) problems with SS3:BFE? Game keeps crashing, Windows telling me I "don't have enough memory", and I'm running 6GB Dominator, and have no problems with any other game in the world. There MUST be a serious memory leak in this game, but I don't have...

    Micro ATX Suggestions?

    Looking for suggestions for a socket 775 (I have an E8600 3.33 laying around) board for a micro build I want to do that can also handle gaming. Need a solid micro 775 board, but seems hard to find anything truly reliable. Have a Sugo SG03-F case sitting around, so figured I'd do a fun...

    Interested In An Adult Gaming Group? (PC & Steam Only)

    Anyone interested in becoming part of a strictly adult Steam group? I'm starting a "strictly regulated" adult PC gaming group, with a full website to follow, that I will not let fall apart as so many other supposed adult gaming communities. Being "rowdy" is fine, as long as people are mature...

    Serious Sam 3

    Does anyone have any ideas/leads what-so-ever as to a release date? I've just been seeing "summer 2011" listed for quite a while now, and my wife and I (as well as many others around here, I know) having been eagerly waiting!

    GTX 580 + Zalman VF3000F = Excellent!

    Just mounted the VF3000F (for GTX 580/570) on my GTX 580 and, with Arctic Silver 5, for those who'd like to know the results... it's the most astounding cooling difference of any GPU cooler I've ever used, on any card, period... and I've been using Zalman GPU coolers since their inception...

    The Definitive "Gaming With Your Significant Other" Thread

    Anyone who knows me, knows that I'm a lucky bastard who is married to a hot-ass, hardcore gaming chick, and whether your straight, bi, gay, trans or some other undefined sexuality, many people have their significant others with whom they game. So, for those who do, I thought I'd start a poll to...

    IN WIN Dragon Rider: Anyone Own This Case? Thoughts?

    IN WIN Dragon Rider. Does anyone own this case? If so, how is it with strictly air cooling compared to other more well-known cases? What do people think about the fan behind the CPU/mobo? Gimmick? Or actually helpful? Supports six 120mm fans on the side intake... really make a...

    Far Cry 3 (Announcement, 7 Min Vid)

    Far Cry 3, who knew... first footage, though I don't really know what to make of it myself. Some of the visuals look great, even through the low-res vid, but it doesn't seem like anything fantastic from what they've shown so far. Seems a bit "meh" to me. At least it's back to the jungles...

    Cutting Acrylic (1/8") Windows?

    What would be the best method for cutting 1/8" thick acrylic windows? It's: this window/material. I have to cut four 120mm fan holes. I've looked around, and there seems to be a lot of mixed opinions, so I'm not sure how to go about it properly. I own a Dremel, so could I use that at...

    Diablo 3: Runestones/Skills

    AP181 vs "Normal" Fans? (Low CFM/Directed vs Messy High CFM)

    For any who have used them, what do you think of the concept behind the AP181? Is low CFM, but directed airflow, really superior? Would/does it make for actual better cooling? Here's a vid of Silverstone comparing their own fan... and a picture showing the concept as well: picture showing the...

    Witcher 2 GPU Usage/Temps... Woah!

    Anyone else notice how massively TW2 pushes your GPU!? Holy shit! 99% GPU usage and have to crank my GTX 580's fan to 85 just to keep at around 75-79C! I almost friend my damn 580 at first, because I "only" had the fan at 70%, and the bastard hit 100C! I could smell something getting hot! Ha...

    DEMCiflex Filters & Airflow?

    Does anyone know whether or not the DEMCiflex filters restrict airflow to any degree? I recently moved from the Antec 1200 to the HAF X (also have the HAF 923, now my wife's system) and set it up with the top fans as intake to create a really solid positive pressure/airflow set-up that's...

    L4D vs L4D2: Opinions?

    Well, Steam is having a Halloween sale with both titles packaged together, and a sale on both titles individually. I played the hell out of L4D, even with my wife, though don't have it anymore. It seems to be a massive mixed-bag of opinions regarding L4D2, so I thought I'd ask for some...

    RV02 Questions

    Wondering if anyone has any input on the RV02 case, just recently featured by Kyle as his build, in which he basically suggests it's the best air cooling case to-date. Currently using a HAF932, and I'm wondering: despite the nature physics of hot air rising, how much cooler can one expect to...

    Steam DLC Install/Non-Steam Question (Gift)

    Borderlands: DLC/Patch?

    The new Claptrap DLC and separate patch for the level increase were due out today, yet I've found nothing mentioning either on Steam or elsewhere. Obviously, the game never received that patch before the 28th, which is a bit disconcerting. Is there some delay with the DLC/patch that just...

    Anyone check this game out on Steam? Tried the demo and it was so much fun, I actually bought it, and my wife will be getting it as well. It's $5 on Steam, a top-down, arean-type zombie shooter and it's fun as hell. Even comes with co-op via LAN and online. Apparently released in 2009 and...

    Lag (Unidentified Cause): Help?
