    Twitch Bans Sexually Suggestive Clothing

    Just think what your kids might think if they catch a glimpse of a tit while watching people getting dismembered in "The Evil Within". I so hate Christian Taliban.

    Google Introduces Advanced Account Security

    I got a message from Google saying that my account is suspended and that I need to verify it. For this I had to give them a phone number and they were supposed to send me a message with a code. Well, it's been 3 weeks and I'm still waiting. Good bye my account. I had to open a new email at...

    Is Facebook the New Craigslist for Hookers?

    Sociology prof Sudhir Venkatesh spent a year gaining the trust of and tracking 290 prostitutes in New York ... This sounds like a pretty good job. I just hope he didn't catch anything nasty.

    I got banned from wow after 2 years of playing

    SlickGreen, do you realize that you are sounding like a hopelessly addicted person ? Talking about multiple characters of 60-s and 70-s levels and about how you play 'just' a couple of hours a week. Heroin junkies I used to know talk just like that. They were "of course" not addicted, just...

    Who's ready for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.?

    I get really poor performance, even at 800x600 with no AA and AF and no shadows the game stutters, firefights are all but impossible. In most places I get 15-20 fps. I had no problems with beta test version. Specs : CoreDuo 2.0GHz, 7900GT, 2 GB of ram, latest drivers. Anyone has the same...

    Why so many Sapphire refurbs OEM at newegg?

    CPUs & Real-world Gameplay Scaling

    The is the article of the year without exaggeration. So much for dual core CPUs that all vendors are trying to push onto us. No benefits whatsoever , all you get is a big electricity bill and less overclockable system. When upgrade time comes I'm definitely buying single core CPU. As far as I...

    7600GT vs 6800GS

    Lots of companies are releasing 7600GT with 256-bit memory interface. I'd really like to see the benches for that. It's gonna be an awesome card for 199 USD.

    who's still stuck in AGP?

    LOL, I'm still stuck with 6800 NU after spending all my money on a trip to France with my girlfriend. I have no plans to upgrade to PCI-E for at least a year since all the games I play run just fine.

    korea clones BF2 and gives it away for free

    Here in Korea all fast internet connections are subsidized by the government. That is why 100 mbit/s internet is widely available and cost virtually nothing. The same goes for online games - our taxes are used to create better games for everyone. I prefer our government investing in...

    Getting bored..

    Still, you should agree that it is pretty exciting to play game which is not going to be released for another month. Especially such a good game as Fable : Lost Chapters. If it is too painfull for you to think about developers losing money just assume that I got a 'review' edition from the...

    Getting bored..

    Try playing Fable - I just got it and it is pretty good although somewhat demanding on hardware.PC version got extra quests and better graphics than on XBox. Definitely a nice change from Battlefield :-)

    Battlefield 2: Pros and Cons

    Damage to helicopters is completely unrealistic. No helicopter can fly away after direct hit with 120mm tank shell. In BF2 it takes *3* direct hits from a tank to down a heli. Bloody ridiculous. Desert Combat got it right, 1 hit from a tank to anything that flies usually kills it.

    Half Life 2 and a LAN only setup here in Iraq.

    What is the point playing CS in Iraq when you can drive to the nearest city and play it there for real with real-life weapons and enemies. I know that for me that would be much more exciting ... except that respawn period is way too long ...

    Half Life and Walmart preorder

    It is not coming in November, the best guess is Feb 2005. Why ? Because it is not finished yet.

    I stink at all fps games.. help me fix..

    Sucking at FPS is ok. Some people are just meant to be bullet stoppers. Without people like you I wouldn't be able to pile up enemy's bodies in BF1942 as high as I do now. Warmest regards.

    HL2 review?

    I just checked Amazon.com and it seems that Half-Life 2 is delayed. The date is moved to Nov. 1 from Sept. 1. I also read on the Valve forum that Half-Life is supposed to ship after the release of a new generation ATI videocards later this fall or early next year. This way people can buy a new...

    What a GOD AWFUL boring game...

    I too was disappointed in the game. To me, the technology comes distant second after the story line. KOTOR has recreated the Star Wars movie experience for me.Call of Duty has incredibly well written story AND great graphics. id should stick to writing game engines.

    The Official Doom 3 Sticky Thread

    The story line is exactly the same ! You arrive to a reasearch facility, experiment goes wrong , you have to fight monsters to survive. The only thing different is that you have to use flashlight instead of crowbar !! Also, why the hell anyone would want to use high-end video card for this game...

    Send Sapphire a message

    You guys are too soft on Sappire. I think the bastards should be sued by consumers for deceptive advertising and at the very least required to refund the money of the consumers who have been misled by the company. Class action suit anyone ?

    Unofficial ATI x800 Benchies

    I'm a bit doubtful about this benches : X800 XT is not even going to be announced before the end of May and these guys benchmark it against X800 Pro and GeForce 6800. Didn't ATI said that they expect Pro version to score about 10K in 3dMark03 ? In these benches it has a score way above...

    new picture of Ruby

    Based on Ruby pictures I think that ATI wants to market new video cards to people with alternative lifestyles. They need a catchy slogan to go with it too : something like "ATI : the way the games are meant to be played by sexual minorities"

    She looks like a Nazi she-bitch in leather. Definitely a carpet muncher, Canadian variety.

    Bioware bought by Microsoft? Say it ain't so, Joe!

    That would be a really bad news but it won't surprise me in the least. Bioware was in bed with Microsoft since they started developing KOTOR.
