    Departing Windows Phone...to ios or android though?

    I know about the whole "initiate siri" thing, but that kind of removes the whole hands free purpose. I don't like having to hit the button driving. Wonder if they'll update that in the future. I have a microsoft band, so during work I like to just get notifications through that. It keeps my...

    Departing Windows Phone...to ios or android though?

    So. Week two with the Iphone. I'll admit, I love it so far. Very great hardware, extremely easy transition that only took me a few hours, really. However, there are some maddening things that I have realized... 1. No way to have texts read over bluetooth automatically? Wow! That is insane that...

    Departing Windows Phone...to ios or android though?

    I really don't think the surface phone is going to happen. I don't know. I'm curious to see what universal apps does for windows phone. I tried out windows 10 multiple times and just didn't feel like it was an intuitive upgrade from wp 8.1... The user experience just didn't feel like what I...

    Departing Windows Phone...to ios or android though?

    Thanks for all the advice and tips everyone. I actually just managed to pick up a lightly used iphone 6 plus for $350, so I will give it a try. I'll make plans to try out the Nexus 6 here soon as well. Appreciate all your contributions!

    Departing Windows Phone...to ios or android though?

    Wow, thanks for all the solid responses! I was also hoping for a surface phone, but I feel like microsoft is probably going to bail on flagship phones before that becomes a thing. I don't have a mac or ipad, but my fiance does use a lot of apple products. One of my worries is the use of...

    Departing Windows Phone...to ios or android though?

    Well, my four year experience with windows phone looks like it is coming to an end. I've cycled through a handful of them, lately from the titan to the 1520 to the htc one. I think I've finally reached the point where, for work and for recreation purposes, I'm feeling pretty restricted by what...

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen coming to PC

    Yeah, it is more of a journeyman game. A little bit linear in it's design, but allows you a large world to explore on your own as you wish.

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen coming to PC

    I knowwww! It sucks having it sitting there in my library, downloaded and unplayable. Can't we just bend the rules a little?

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen coming to PC

    There is a fast travel system. In the original, it was more difficult as you needed to spend large amounts of money for ferrystones. With the expansions (and as it will be in the PC version) you will have an "eternal ferrystone" which will allow you to fast travel to various locations on demand...

    Popular online FPS's have been ruined by cheating

    Wellll, some players are good enough to go 40-3. I've done it (very rarely) in ideal conditions (bf3 metro with the entire other team sitting on the stairs). You have to observe the player in most cases.

    Whaaat? I watched that website for a solid year and a half waiting for a North America release. I'll have to explore this when I get home next week. Madness.

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen coming to PC

    Good to see and hear that they likely did a proper port to the PC instead of half-assing it. I assume most modest builds will run the game well, considering that the game is three years old and wasn't really ground breaking at release in regards to graphic level. two weeks! Can't wait to dive...

    Popular online FPS's have been ruined by cheating

    I guess I'll never understand what the point of playing is if you are using an aimbot. But that idea has been argued a multitude of times, and isn't the goal of this thread, so I'll sigh and move on. I remember in Phantasy Star Online there was a NOL hack, where everyone in a room would be...

    Popular online FPS's have been ruined by cheating

    Alright, this is getting borderline flaming. I think the OP has some valid points. I used to play BF like I wanted to ensure that I never saw another human. Was in the top 10 on Battlefield 2142 for awhile, and got banned from multiple servers for "hacking" just because I was good enough to...

    I agree with that. I was intrigued by demon souls, hated dark souls, and could never play shadows of col for more than 45 minutes.

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen coming to PC

    Honestly, the pawn system alone is genius in this game. Aside from that, it does a good deal to allow you to play to your own style. Sword, bow, magic, etc. The story isn't bad, and is compelling enough to keep you going. Dark Arisen added a sort of non-linear, "demon souls-esque" gameplay to...

    Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen coming to PC

    bringing this thread BACK FROM THE DEAD. Pre-ordered this game the first day it popped up as an option on steam. Can't wait to get back into it! Beat the original three times, never beat Dark Arisen. So... If you pre-order on steam, do you still get the soundtrack bonus? Not sure I saw that...

    Just heard about this and read the article. Curious if anyone knows any additional information on this?

    Need a new monitor and pulling my hair out trying to choose one. Please Help

    Throwing in my 2 cents, recently upgraded to a samsung u3415w recently and love it. Beautiful screen, great for throwing up multiple windows or for ultrawide gaming/videos. There are some compatibility issues out there. For me, the format ended up being more important than the refresh rate and...

    Do the games from Old-Games actually work?

    curious if anyone has tried the old-games.com website to download any retro games. Was hoping to get the old Close Combat games, but don't want to download a top of spyware (or games that don't work).

    Ugh. Sorry, typed that in a hurry and didn't include any pertinent info. GTX 970, running windows 10 64 bit. Using the DP to mDP cable that came with the monitor. Going to switch it out for HDMI tonight to see if that makes any change. This is my first time using DP. Was curious if there...

    anyone else have issues getting the monitor to play audio? Using the DP to mDP cable..tried switching between DP 1.2 and 1.1, still no dice. Switched the playback device to the monitor and everything as well.

    Screen Management Software for Dell 34 UW?

    Actually, they both do the same. I didn't update on the dell display management last night because my Logitech keyboard died (nooooooo). Ddm does the same thing. Would love to find software that makes the UW behave like two monitors.

    Screen Management Software for Dell 34 UW?

    check that. Found it, it just isn't listed for the 3415. Weird. Downloaded and working, though. For those looking for it that find this thread, just google Dell Display Manager. It will auto-update to the latest version. Is currently working on Windows 10 64 bit for me.

    Screen Management Software for Dell 34 UW?

    Hey everyone, recently purchased a u3415w, and I was wondering if there is any recommended software out there for screen manage? (dividing monitor into thirds for browser windows, etc). I know LG comes with its own stock software for this kind of thing. And I did some searching, but didn't...

    390 the better card for longevity over 970?

    also, just out of humor, I realize that I mentally phased out the entire argument with Razor without even intending to. Does this mean by brain has been trained to ignore dumb forum arguments? I'm evolving :D

    390 the better card for longevity over 970?

    Not sure I agree that the 290x is the obvious choice out of the three. AMD fanboy here, picked up a 970 to replace my 7970 and I've been quite happy. Enjoying the temperature, power consumption, and noise...I was willing to pay an extra $30 over the 290x price to get those categories improved.

    Upgrade to 737 or keep pioneer 1222?

    So I came into possession of an onkyo 737 this week, and I've been using a pioneer 1222 for the last year or so. So now I have the positive dilemma of deciding which one to keep. Any opinions on the matter? Been testing them out. The pioneer definitely has some better room adjustment and EQ...

    Installed 7970. Popping in speakers?

    The receiver (pioneer 1222) is constantly trying to switch between pcm and dolby digital (which is just the default). I can leave youtube up with a video paused and it will stay in PCM and not click anymore. Once I close the window, it starts kicking back between the two again. It doesn't do...

    Installed 7970. Popping in speakers?

    Just installed a 7970 in my system to replace a 5770. I'm now getting some slight popping sounds coming from my speakers in a cycle of every 10 seconds or so. It sounds like a slight double tapping. "tick tick." Any thoughts on how to troubleshoot this? I'm using hdmi audio out to my receiver...
