http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/29290/Kotick_Activision_Will_Very_Aggressively_Support_PC_Gaming_On_TVs.php Saw this article while not paying attention at work. Personally, I like it. I've always thought that PCs will eventually become more console like. Be alot easier if there were...

Used to be a huge geek, but then graduated, got a big boy job, got a girlfriend, fell out of the geek world loop. But now my buddies are starting to upgrade and my inner geek is growing again, so I'm wanting a new build but in the best bang for the buck category. 1) What will you be doing...

nevermind don't mind me. Frustration +1 still.

just beat this game. again. for the first time since i think it originally came out. and i still absolutely love it. sure the gameplay gets slightly repetitive and there's not many as cool bosses as the 2nd, but it's still hella fun. i'm pretty sure the final boss level(s) is pretty much...

rejoice: http://kotaku.com/5228209/warcraft-on-an-iphone-but-is-it-coming-to-yours it's really only a matter of time now. upon my buddy and i (both former WoWers) both agreed that this video is both our greatest dream and darkest nightmare.

so i've got left4dead (awesome, awesome game) but i've noticed that when playing anything having to do with multiplayer, i get some massive lag spikes and system hang ups, then it clears up. it's only during the early stages (like, starting point) of the campaigns. after a while it goes away and...

I've moved into a smaller home and now my computer occupies the same room that i sleep in. I'm a light sleeper and so i need a pretty quiet room to be able to sleep well. what's the latest recommendations on air cooled quiet cases?

Just saw the forum security announcement and got me to thinking about a problem that may arise with my account. I consider my PW to be pretty secure, but remembering that hardforum doesn't allow for the use of gmail accounts, the e-mail that i originally signed up with the hardforum with is long...

couple weeks ago my PSU went out and i got a new one. however every time i turn off my computer now, it's like the system completely loses all power and i can't turn on the system again for a few hours (sometimes minutes). i'm pretty certain it's the power supply only b/c when my system does...

Okay so last tuesday my PSU blew up. No problem right? got a new PSU. that's when this problem start arising and i have yet to completely solve it. When i turn my system on, the bios comes up, reads the BIOS, reads the CPU, reads the memory (even determining between single and dual channel) then...

well after spending a week fighting and rebuilding my computer after a PSU failure (which took my RAM with it) i've got the system up and running again. Except this morning when i went to turn my system on, no response. No boot, no spins, nothing. Checked the (week old brand new) PSU, okay...

hey all, me again. figured out what my first problem was (bad memory stick) and now after a fresh install of XP media center, i have a different funky problem. anytime i log into my account (my wife has a different account) on XP, the windows music starts, then abruptly stops about half way...

on tuesday night my computer randomly shut down. tried to restart it and the fans spun, then just stopped. so i said "okay my PSU is prolly gone" replaced the PSU. system boots up and gets to the bios, hangs. "weird" so i replaced the memory, still hangs. replaced the video card, hangs some...

woohoo free money! anywho, been wanting to upgrade for a while, system's been feeling sluggish. mostly just play WoW and some FPS. what would you suggest needs the most glaring updates? anything that i just MUST get? like i said i primarily play WoW, but do plan on getting Crysis and...

looking to get a laptop mainly as a mobile supplement to my desktop, what i'm trying to decide currently is if i should go for the laptop with a resolution that'll match what i currently have (1680x1050) or just something that's similar to that aspect ratio. so yeah, go with the matching res...

background: my brother-in-law gave me a pair of KLH (model av-55) tower speakers. it has two big subwoofer style bass speakers, a mid and a tweeter on each tower. the tweeter on one was busted so i took it apart to try and fix it. well when i did i noticed that there's a magnet on only one of...

the basic guidelines: i'm not looking for a desktop replacement. i'm not looking to game on it. (maaaybe the occasional WoW.) i plan on mostly using it for class/work/general usage. i'd LIKE a big-ish screen. i like big widescreens. now my (ideal) price range. $600-800. maybe lower...

interested into getting an mp3 player. was curious if anybody had a zune and their thoughts on it. it's a bit more into my price range (that is, at brand new) plus i've heard some people having problems with itunes. and finally, i just wanna be a lil different. ;) so yeah, anybody have a...

what are some of the better ones? hardocp posted to a site a while back that had some good ones. one in particular that i absoutely loved was about changing the amount of times that firefox pinged a site to request download of webpage. it sped up the internet browsing dramatically. anybody know...

friend's needing a new budget comp. i've got a 6800gt laying around. he doesn't plan on gaming just using vista. will a 6800gt be sufficient?

i'm on the 4th part. the protecting the weak one. it's not too difficult, i'm just having insane amounts of troubles with the cyclops. is there any way to stun them or block their attacks in anyway? everything else is fairly easy. any help?

first question: if i'm just using the digital out on my current soundcard, would it make sense to use my onboard soundcard? would i notice a difference in the CPU? 2nd question: what the heck would cause my onboard network card to crap out? at quakecon last year it randomly quit working and i...

for whatever reason, while playing WoW:BC, my page file will jump up to 2gigs usage, and my system becomes near unusable. i have 2gigs of pc3200 memory (which for whatever reason is only running at pc2700...) so i shouldn't be having memory problems! what the heck could be the deal?

so as i'm crusing through WoW i realized that i haven't upgraded in well, nearly two years (wtf!) so i decided to leave the WoW world and re-enter the real world. it was then that i realized, i have no clue what are the bang-for-buck cards nowadays. surely i know that the 8x00 series is so...

since the 7x series is getting lower in price, should i just get a 7900gtx or get a second 6800gt. i mainly just play WoW now.

i'm mildly eyeing the 8800gts as to hopefully replace my 6800gt. just wondering if it'll ever work it's way into the mid to higher $300 dollar range.

like when i go away for the day or weekend, is there a tool that does like everything required for maintenance on an xp computer? things like: defrag registry cleaner registry fixer scan for harddrive errors adware scanner and/or stuff that adds to complete system maintenance and...

i have a full legit version of xp. am i going to have pay a full price for if i want to move to vista? or will it be a discounted rate? how is vista gonna work for students? like if it's just 50 bucks to move from XP to vista then i might consider it.
