    Remember Rebel Assault?

    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...

    Ya know, I don't think I'm ever paying more than $12 for a game again

    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...

    HP 2310m or Acer G245Hbmid (the new G245HBbd the same?)

    Downgrading from a ZR24 most likely, more monitor than I need, plus I like the glossy for the room I'm using it in. Kind of a toss up between these 2 (has to have VESA mounting so eliminates a lot of monitors) HP 2310m...

    ~24" Glossy LCD?

    I purchased a ZR24 and while I don't think it sucks, it doesn't really improve upon my situation. I normally am using my PC in a near pitch black room, so reflections aren't a problem. I'm really underutilizing the ZR24 and would like to "downgrade" and pass it on to someone who could get more...

    Turn-based strategy game suggestions?

    I've never much been an RTS fan. I like the slower pace of TBS games, but they seem to have fallen out of favor :( I'm wanting to expand some though and looking for suggestions. I've have played the following in their original form, if there are remakes or mods for them, let me know: Xcom...

    Anyone know if the Visiontek 5850 is a reference board?

    I'm not too hip on how to tell them apart. Looking at the Visiontek 900297, like here: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5271083&CatId=3669

    System recommendation for 1920x1200 gaming?

    I think it's the right forum... Right now I'm running: Core2Duo [email protected] 4GB DDR2@800FSB (I think...) GTX 260 (192 version) 640GB Caviar Black Gigabyte 965P-DS3 rev 1.3 Windows 7 64-bit I think that's the important stuff. The only intensive stuff I do is games. I'm running...

    "Best" 24"-27" monitor under $1k?

    Why is it so freaking hard to find a good monitor? Seems none of them do everything right. I'm really tired of shitty colors, terrible bleeding, etc. from "standard" monitors. As admin and seeing dozens of different models, they all are pretty crappy. Mix of Dell's, Viewsonics, DoubleSight...

    U2410 or EA231WMi?

    Wow look at that last login, 12-12-2004. My "workstation" is set up pretty much like this: So I'm not real far away from the monitor. I'm tired of shitty color and brightness with my 22" Acer. I've been waiting on a deal for the U2410, NEC seems to be $175-$200 cheaper routinely. Didn't...

    Lenses and that sorta stuff for a Canon A60?

    I have a Canon A60 which I grabbed from one of the Office Depot deals. I'm happy with it, as I really only use it to take pics of stuff I'm going to put on eBay. Actually other people borrow it and use it more than I do. But anyways, what is there lens/filter wise that are worth looking at...

    Arcade Game Distributors

    Er, I guess I meant that as more of a "do you know what you're getting yourself into" type statement. Can easily reach upwards of 10K depending on the unit. Rentals can be a lot better, but arcades (at least around here) just don't seem to do the business they used to years ago. Consoles...
