So, my fiance and I are getting married on a semi-budget, and we can't afford a $2000+ videographer, and mainly, we just want stable, steady HD video of the ceremony, with good audio, to look at the younger, prettier versions of ourselves someday. Figure it will probably be good to have on our...

So, I'll probably be moving in with my girlfriend in a couple of months, and she is fully stocked on TVs, leaving me essentially with a spare 32" 720p TV. I currently have a 23" LED 1080p monitor, but I was considering using my 32" 720p TV for my primary computer monitor. I mainly play RPGs...

Thanks for the responses, really helpful. I guess since I've only ever played regular RPGs - where you play as a character for 40 or 50 hours until you beat the game, then start over as a different kind of character and play through it again, and again - my question is whether there's any...

So explain this to me. MMORPGs: do they generally have an "ending" like most games that you can beat and complete? Seems like WoW people just keep playing and playing for thousands of hours, no? Seems like Bioware is talking up the story aspect of TOR as a contrast to existing MMOs, is this...

Not really sure, I just feel like it would be be something j I would enjoy playing again.

I'm trying to work my way through my backlog (thanks Steam sales) before I buy a bunch more games. So, of the games I currently have installed, I've beat or burned myself out on BFBC2, DAO, DA2, ShogunTW, EmpireTW, Civ4, Civ5, FO3, FO:NV, ME2, EU3, SC2, Portal 1, Plants vs Zombies, TF2, CS:S...

I noticed today that it's on sale on Steam for $4 for the original, and $20 for all the expansions, so I wanted to know what people thought of it nowadays. I know when it came out it was a big buggy and lacking features, but I figure it's had some time for polish, so the question is... is it...

Done... no MMOs or Consoles or Casual games for me though.

Yeah, I beat DA2, and on my brother's recommendation, I bought ME2 like a week ago. Paid $20 for it. Damn.

Re: Trade routes and wars, it's good if you are hurting for cash to make one of your conquered states a vassal instead of taking it over, then you can set up the trade route with your vassal, because they pretty much have to do what you tell them to. You can get decent income from this, plus...

2H Warrior Power! http://i.imgur.com/p0w65.jpg Added it all up: 7302 damage from one swing. Finished the game just now, 35 hours, lvl 21. Whew! What an "ending." For some reason the end battle reminded me of Ghostbusters. Was a Male 2H warrior/reaver/warmonger, ran with Isabella, Anders...

I'm 20 hours in so far, and DA2, overall I think, is pretty fantastic. Not as good as DA:O, but better than more other games out there. I always tell myself "I'll play for just an hour" and end up playing for 3-4 hours. Not to mention, I can lose myself in picking powers and tactics for 20-30...

$90 - Case $100 - PSU $240 - Motherboard and Processor $347 - RAM and Video Card $19 - DVD Drive $160 - HDD and Windows

So, I built a new box a week or two ago, and it's been pretty fantastic so far, except I have been having the problem stated in the title. If I even so much as touch the side of the case with a finger or USB drive or anything, it shuts off, and I don't know why. It's not like I touch my case a...

12 seconds... I was in a hurry to actually get to playing!

Are you sure you're playing the same game I did? Generally, upgrades were about 10-20% different between "levels" and 10-20% different per "heaviness" which lead to significant increases through the course of the game. And if you manage your money well, you can buy several (read >10) high cost...

I don't know what it looked like before, but here's my input: - too much black space at the top. - below "log in" on the right bar, there's a whole lot of nothing. You should put the "recent news" section there, with just the headings, and make it hoverable to get like the first paragraph...

Tax return came early... Purchased! I'm so excited!

According to the PC Gamer review, this is true. But the city if large, and the story is staggered over time, so the city evolves over the course of the story. I have never played a bad Bioware game, so I'm sure they made it work.

Thanks for the help. I'll probably post again sometime when I mess up putting it together. :)

Okay, I'll keep the nicer PSU. Here's where I'm at now: $90 - Case $100 - PSU $240 - Motherboard and Processor $347 - RAM and Video Card $19 - DVD Drive $160 - HDD and Windows Total: $956 Any further input? Anything else I need to get? Thanks!

6950 done. I can knock another $25 off the total if I get this PSU vs the one recommended above. Would this be an okay swap?

I wouldn't say I play games strenuously... if it doesn't work well, I don't have any qualms about turning down the graphics. In general though, I play most of the popular games, with less emphasis on shooters (though I do play some), and a little more on strategy and RPGs. In the near future...

So, I've taken into account what's been said here and on another board, and here's where I'm at now: $90 - Case - COOLER MASTER RC-692-KKN2 CM690 II Advanced Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case $90 - PSU - Antec TruePower New TP-750 750W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 SLI...

Thanks for the input, that's exactly the kind of info I need. However, the total of what you have there is $868, pre tax and shipping... not that I'm complaining, the more I save, the better. Would I be likely to notice an increase in RAM from 4GB to 8GB? I remember last time I upgraded, I...

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc PC Gaming mainly 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? $1000, give or take 3) Where do you live? Michigan, USA 4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word...

So, my brother has been complaining to me that Civ 5 is quite addictive, but not all that fun. But he keeps playing. So, that inspired him to make a chart comparing addictivenes to actual fun, in various games. I have stolen this idea for my own purposes, as seen below. Feel free to make...

I've been playing games on a Core 2 Duo @ 3.0ghz with an 640mb 8800GTS and 3GB of RAM @ 1920x1080 for a while now. I can make most things work smoothly if I turn down some bells and whistles. It's perfectly adequate for gaming, though I foresee an upgrade in the near future.

Could I get one of these, and then leave it on laptop mode for easy transferring and, whenever I want to watch it on my TV, just switch it to the other setting? Seems like an easy-ish solution.

Looked into the box things, and it's an option for sure, but I don't want to have to pay for anything extra when I have all the relevant pieces (except the USB hub) for my idea already. I guess my question could be simplified as "how do I connect one external hard drive to two computers (one of...

I'm not sure if this is the right forum or not, but I thought I'd give it a go here. I recently bought a new TV that conveniently has a couple USB plug-ins that make watching movies and whatnot a cinch. However, it's a bit of a pain to have to transfer things to my portable hard drive from my...

Total War series?

Monster Hunter Tri: Interestingly, the female in that game appears to be normally proportioned... No giant titties or barbie waist of anything... Nice.

As someone who has played and modded and replayed dragon age several times, I think you should go through the vanilla version of the game first. It's very very very good game. Mod after you beat it once.

There's no such thing as "optimum" equipment. They all have pluses and minuses, depending on the situation, how you use each particular character, and said characters stats and other equipment. Two people could be playing a two handed thief character, and one might want Leather armor, and the...

Uncharted Water 2: New Horizons - I play this one every year or two. Gameplay > Graphics Genghis Khan II - Kind of the pre-cursor to the EU series. Civilization 2 - Still the best of all the Civ games. Diablo 2 - Ever since it came out, I'll get a couple characters up to lvl 50+ once a year or...

Wow... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEPVYrltke4

I hadn't really been following this thread, but someone on another of my boards posted links to scans of a magazine article with it. So, what's it look like, new engine or no? Scan 1 Scan 2 Scan 3 Scan 4 scan 5 Scan 6

It's barely on sale anymore, wait until it goes back down to 6.80... I bet it will one more time before the sale is over.
