    Monoprice: 28" 4K 60 hz $399.99, 27" 1440P IPS $279.99 + Free Shipping

    I wish that 27" had displayport. Seems that would have been a better solution for that resolution than just dual-link dvi (I guess at that price I can't complain, but can't really buy it either).

    Newegg video card deals (mulitple):

    Pretty disappointed that I haven't seen anything better from Newegg than the Powercooler 7950 deal last week that I missed. I guess BF and Cybermonday aren't really meant for video card sales though.

    What is your dream game?

    A Dark Souls and Legend of Zelda mashup. Give me Dark Souls' combat, environment/character design, and sense of danger or difficultly combined with something like OoT's large open world and dungeon design, puzzle elements, and exploration and item progression. I'm sure DS probably has some Zelda...

    Steam Weekend & Indie Week Sale

    Play it with a controller as the developers probably intended and that problem is solved (and even with controller there is still a challenge that has nothing to do with "bad controls", which when using the right device are not bad at all imo). Also, Dark Souls is only published by Namco, it...

    The Official Guild Wars 2 thread

    The biggest issue I see with cross server guilding, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, is that you don't earn influence for cross server guilds (only your server's version of the guild will gain points). So while you may chat and play with those people, you're not really contributing to...

    Yeah, for me it wasn't even comparable. I was bored with TSW's combat almost as soon as I started playing it (which was during beta about a month before release). I played that game up until release, but as soon as I was able to experience my first GW2 beta TSW became a chore to continue...

    Why do gamers feel like they need to be "rewarded" to play games with Achievements?

    Maybe it's because I grew up gaming in a generation before achievements, but they mean very little to me. I mostly use them as a way to gauge how much of a game I've completed or missed. But the actual achievement hunting I see some gamers doing today seems like insanity to me (I'm talking dudes...

    What are the funniest clips of people playing PC games?

    More like ex-girlfriend. Any girl did something like that to me and that'd be the last thing she did as my girlfriend.

    The Official Guild Wars 2 thread

    I did not mess around with friends stuff. But if you are in a guild it will display your character name and your account name in the guild list. It definitely makes it easier to keep track of players in situations when people have multiple alts with different names.

    Wildstar--Steampunk(ish) MMORPG

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDf613D1qLk I actually really like the art style. It is WoWish but I don't really look at that as a negative since I've always liked that game's look as well (just don't want to play it). I remember seeing this game sometime last year and thinking it looked pretty...

    Which kind of gamer are you?

    I'll imagine I'm the character but I don't imagine the character is me (if that makes sense). People who can only play a character just like their real life self must have really limited imaginations.

    Vanguard goes F2P

    This actually piqued my interest until I saw the F2P details, http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/07/03/free-to-play-details-for-vanguard-released/ Item restrictions? Really SOE? Way to continue to fail at doing F2P right. You would think they'd have little to lose with offering a more...

    Do you need all the expansions for the HoM rewards or just Eye of the North? I was considering doing that stuff but GW1 plus all the expansions isn't really all that cheap (about $45 on amazon).

    Mass Effect 3 SPOILERS THREAD

    I guess our philosophies are at odds then. Also, it's possible Synthesis isn't even against the will of the people. If the decision was a democratic one, maybe Synthesis, given the outcome, would be what people of the galaxy would choose?

    Mass Effect 3 SPOILERS THREAD

    At least he didn't commit mass genocide against all synthetic life (probably against their will) and doom future generations to repeat the cycle again. I'm sure when the process begins again everyone will be glad Shepard didn't interfere with the free will of the masses. Also, so what if they...

    I thought they were much better than before. If these had been the originals I doubt there would have been the uproar that there was. After watching them all, I'm more conflicted over the choice between Control and Synthesis than I was originally (but I think I still support synthesis overall)...

    The Official Guild Wars 2 thread

    The cartoony graphics combined with Blizzard's attention to detail were why it had so much personality. I felt the same way during WoW's beta, and it was one of the things I really liked about it. But I would say in my experience few MMO's compare to WoW in that area. And I love exploring as...

    Mechanical Keyboard Guide

    So I just picked up my first mechanical keyboard, a Rosewill 9000BR. I'm really liking it so far except for the spacebar, which I find a little uncomfortable (my previous keyboard had a nice rounded spacebar). I followed http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=Island:8861 to reverse it and it...

    I thought dodge worked pretty well during my experience, but I never made it to any dungeons. I mostly did events and soloed. I did however notice it losing some effectiveness during some boss encounters. It seems they may have to rebalance those types of encounters if they want players to be...

    Does Half Life 3 need major changes to live up to the hype?

    I love HL and HL2, but I feel like 3 really needs to push the envelope if it's going to make an impact today. If they suddenly revealed it tomorrow and what I saw didn't excite me as much/more than Bioshock Infinite then I'd be pretty disappointed (which is probably my most anticipated fps).

    The Secret World Public Beta Weekend

    Funny that's kind of what happened to me as well, except I was actually playing TSW in closed beta until BWE2 and then lost all desire to play it after. Not to insinuate that TSW is a bad game, but I just enjoyed GW2 so much that I kind of don't want to play other MMOs anymore.

    Mechwarrior Online Founders Package on Sale NOW!

    It still seems crazy to me to pay $120 to fund this based on the franchise/genre rather than the developer. If this were the old Mechwarrior 2 team or something I could understand, but these devs have no Mechwarrior experience so there's no way to know if they'll do it right.

    The Official Guild Wars 2 thread

    From my short time playing WoW, you also had to because new content was apparently often balanced around having completed all previous content. So if they introduced a new raid, you couldn't even effectively do it without first having been geared up with all the previous dungeon's gear. I felt...

    The Official Guild Wars 2 thread

    The awesome thing about GW2 is that because of leveling scaling all content doesn't have to be "end game" content. I see with so many MMOs that once the playerbase starts to shift toward end levels all new content that gets introduced is max level content. And while that might be great for the...

    I thought the whole "branded" thing was the best part. It was like a zombie invasion, where you had to hold out until they overran and you got turned yourself. Not being able to kill some of the bosses was a little disappointing (but it's not like beating them all would have accomplished...

    The less than simple solution is to just make sure there are few skills you'd absolutely never want to use. And if they're going with a tier system I feel like that needs to be their focus to prevent people from feeling like they're just "wasting" skill points like you said.

    Also, the Destruction ending never shows us if the Geth or EDI are actually destroyed! In fact, as Dan_D pointed out, Shepard's survival scene is in contradiction with what the AI child said. I know I'm not the first to bring this up, but it keeps grating on me how docile and out of character...

    I just don't understand how a huge company like Bioware, with I would assume a staff of writers, fails to notice all the glaring inconsistencies in the endings they developed?

    PC users petition Namco Bandai for Dark Souls

    Signed even though I think it's doubtful (but maybe if there is a Dark Souls 2 this will encourage them to consider a PC release). I own DS on the PS3 already, but I would buy it again just to have it on my PC. I imagine Dark Souls would really look fantastic with a higher resolution and some...
