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...

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...

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...

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...

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'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...

Is there a way to assign a ring tone to all unknown people calling me, and have a different one for all the people in my phone book? I want it so that: 517-555-1231 517-555-1232 517-555-1233 517-555-1234 517-555-1235 All have "Ringtone 1" and Jane Doe John Doe Jane Smith John...

So, I bought Guild Wars like 4 years ago, played a little bit, got distracted, and never really went back. Well, on Saturday, I decided I wanted to re-install it and give it another shot. I reinstall it, go to try to log on, and it says I need to enter in my character's name to log in? WTF, I...

Going to steal this thread from another Forum I frequent, as I thought it would fit well here. --------------------------------------------------- What's your grip style? Be sure to list the following: ************************************************** Grip Style: Palm, Claw, Fingertips...

So, I'm posting this for my brother because I am at a loss as to the problem. He turned the computer on in the AM, and his Keyboard didn't work. Couldn't input anything anywhere, no lights came on, nothing. He tried different USB slots, nothing. He tried the slot the mouse was in (which was...

So, I have just come into an apparently unopened copy of WoW, received from my girlfriend's boss. Now, I have always enjoyed RPGs, some of my favorites were Diablo 1 and 2, Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Oblivion, Fallout 2 and 3, KOTOR 1 and 2, and several others I'm sure. I played Guild Wars several...

Today's the day. I'm so excited. I played the Naval Battle on the demo like 10 times just to see what works and what doesn't, and I played the land battle like 5. I'm getting it right after work today. So Excited...

So, I am a gamer on a fairly tight budget, and my system is home built and a couple years old, though it has been serviceable enough I suppose. Yesterday I tried installing GTA4 though, and I ran into my first serious bottleneck problem, as I was only getting 9fps with everything on low, and...

I just got an iPhone, and I have a Blackberry case with a magnetic latch. I asked the Geeksquad guy at Bestbuy if it would mess up my iPhone and he said not a chance, but I just wanted to throw that out there to get some other opinions. I'd rather not mess up a $400 phone if possible. Thanks!

I got an iPhone 2 days ago, and it has been a love/hate relationship with iTunes so far, but overall it's very cool. I've discovered the wonderful, albeit convoluted, method to convert my own songs into ring tones, but now I have too many awesome ring tones! Does anyone know how to make it so...

I know, another one of these threads, and I don't usually post them, but I feel I have to this time. My girlfriend really wants to play it, and she has a laptop that was pretty spot on when she got it 3 years ago. I ran it through SystemRequirementsLab, and it said that it wouldn't work, based...

I know a lot of people play TF2 on here, so I thought this would be fun. I'll start.

This is going to be a bit of a rant, so... Now, I'm not a huge advocate of Steam or anything, but at least they have the right idea as far as copy protection goes. Right now, I'm rather annoyed with EA and Punkbuster. You see, I bought BF2 when it first came out, played it a ton, liked it...

I'm not a huge computer buff, but I like to keep things relatively up to date for gaming purposes. I was looking into getting a couple GB or RAM, and I had a question about buying RAM. How come one two stick pack costs more than two one stick packs of the same RAM? Also, does it really matter...

I am using a the on board audio on my A8N-SLI Premium, and as such I am stuck using the RealTek Sound Manager, which isn't that bad I don't think. I have a couple questions which seem like they should have simple answers, but for some reason I can't figure out. 1 - How do I adjust bass and...

I just got done installing Vista Premium on my desktop, and I had been using a D-Link 1340 USB Wireless card with XP prior. I have tried various things, none of which have worked. 1st try: I installed off the disk that came with it, D-link software as well. This worked for internet, though...

**SOLD: NO LONGER FOR SALE** This computer is a lightly used, well cared for laptop made by ASUS. I purchased it new from Newegg.com about a year ago for $1550, but am selling it now because I don't really need this much power in a laptop, and could really use the money. The exact model is...

Oops... Double Post, Sorry. My Internet at school is funky...

I received this email from my brother, and I don't really know where to start with it, so I thought I'd post it up here to see if anyone has any ideas. He got this computer almost a year ago, and to the best of my knowledge, has not had any problems since...

I got this game when I went home for Christmas, so all I have is my laptop, and not my desktop, so I can't readily tell if my desktop will run it, but my key specs are roughly as follows: Athlon XP 3200+, 512MB Radeon 1650 graphics, 1GB (Maybe two, not sure) RAM I'm not really all in to having...

I have an ASUS A8JP, and the screen is slightly wobbly. It's not super bad, but it's noticable, and I have been tightening it with a screwdriver thus far, and it works, but loosens itself up again after a couple weeks. Last time I went to tighten it, the left screw is apparently stripped, so...

I have a Razor Copperhead mouse, and have for almost a year now, and recently I have noticed that when I single click things, it acts like a double click. At first this was rare, so I didn't think anything of it. Now it is happening probably 30-40% of the time, and it's really annoying. Any...

Okay, so I have recently done a clean sweep of my desktop, and reinstalled everything, but now when I try to use bittorrent, it disconnects after a few minutes of use, but the wireless sign still says I am connected. In order to fix it, I have to repair the connection. It never used to do this...

I had this ad on Craigslist, and all I got were scam offers. Someone on another forum told me to try here, so here I am. This computer is a lightly used, well cared for laptop made by ASUS. I purchased it new from Newegg.com a couple months ago for $1550, but am selling it now because I don't...
