Nothing bad will happen, it will just be stretched/distorted to a small degree (depending on the resolutions).
The video card and monitor will resize everything automagically to fit the screen. The image will be degraded, but likely not enough for you to care.
I wonder the age and background of the people who pro monopoly and those who are anti...
I personally don't care where the game comes from. I'm more price conscience. I don't play multi-player much. And saying you don't want 20 different services running...if you are the type of person who will...
I buy books and read them, but buy games and play them later. So no backlog of books, but lots of games.
Book costs are cheap to begin with, so never really look for sales. I don't buy games at retail, so if I see a good price online, I'll buy it with the intent of playing it later.
Probably...
Remember when my neighbor got a new 386 for Christmas and it had a CD-ROM drive. Had some Sherlock Holmes game. FMV was like whoaaaa, the computer can talk!
Then there was Rebel Assault...I can't remember a game that made me go "wow this game is the shit!" to "this game IS shit!" all in the...
I think this is true as well. I doubt anything like another Planescape Torment or Baulders Gate 2 will ever be released. Have a large enough backlog I could go years without buying another game and not catch up. Simply too much out there or coming out. Same for movies. There are more classic...
I don't know if I'd say I'm maturing out of games. I think, as with all people, interests in certain things wax and wane over time. I used to be into guns, but have kind of moved off those the past few years.
I like reading this forum and people complaining and being passionate about their...
Seems to be the new sweet spot for me. I don't get all the hoopla over the $50 and $60 games these days.
Been playing games a bit over 25 years now, and they just haven't gotten to be worth more than that. I think the whole gaming experience has been cheapened. I've gotten to the point of...
Started playing yesterday, but all my slowndowns occur in the cutscenes???
Gameplay is fine, just when it jumps to a talking thing it really chugs and voices run over each other.
Picked up one to replace my ZR24W. Was tired of the AG coating. BestBuy for $200. Very pleased with it. If looking at it from off angles, some green/yellow tint, but nothing bothersome.
Very pleased, especially for the money. I'll get used to the 120 less pixels, but the AG coatings are just a...
I used to be in the same school of thought until I got an EVO and completely changed my tune. The amount of processing power and screen on the thing was enough for me to see a real problem for dedicated devices going forward. And that's for a phone that's like 18 months old or so?
Put in a...
You'll be ok.
As I understand it, games are rather sequentially written/read. A blazing fast drive just isn't going to be appreciably faster at loading games/maps because of how they are written to the drive, simply not room for improvement as it's being read nearly as fast as possible...
One of the handy things about many ACOGs is what they call the Bindon Aiming Concept.
The way they are built, if you look through it with one eye closed, you get the magnification aspect and reticle. If you leave both eyes open, the reticle appears non magnified. It's a really great...
Are you using the same power circuit when testing on the laptop?
May try to move it to a different circuit in the house and see what happens. Long shot, but would rule out a power issue.
Watched the video you are talking about. Yeah it's not an ACOG but a magnifier. An ACOG has a magnified tube with a range reticle.
The magnifiers do like the video show, just flip up (they are on a hinge). They are mounted directly behind the primary optic and it flips up or down and "locks"...
Only a few models of ACOGs are NVG compatible. Most just wash out when looking through them or will be so bright as to shut off the googles.
On detaching and reattaching, no big deal as long as you put it on the same T mark you took it off of. Point of impact will be virtually unchanged.
You'll replace the monitor before noticing an appreciable dimming.
Have some LCDs at work going on roughly 10 years and still usable.
More likely for it to fail than just wear out. To replace them is no big deal, I've done a few. The lamp is generally cheap ($5-$10 on ebay) and just open the...
1. No
2. 25+ years on CRTs, 5+ on LCDs
3. Probably average 10-12 hours a day. Maybe a break every few hours. Mostly to piss. Basically have lived in front of a computer, shit, how depressing.
No noticeable degradation in eyesight. I don't think monitors have any appreciable difference from...
There's been plenty of Nintendo games officially released on the PC. Just none in the past 15 years or so...

Several Mario ones, mostly educational type stuff.
What you using now?
Lilliput has a crapload of different offerings, most sub $250. I had one when I was doing my car project, but ran out of time and sold i tall.
