I'd say VIA. ~10 years ago I had a VIA chipset that would just lock the whole computer up unless I was running a specific set of their 4-in-1 drivers.
Ever feel like upgrading those drivers? Too bad!
New video card? Hope you like re-installing windows!
I was upgrading from a...
I bought this from Direction on Saturday. I actually live a few miles from this place so I do local pickup all the time. I don't pay tax because I'm a reseller, so it works out pretty well.
They are a good company and on the rare occasion that I have trouble with an order they always...
My most epic moment had to be at the end of the original half-life (minor spoiler warning, though you really should have played this by now):
I was fighting the final boss in that huge chamber. I wasn't really sure what to do, though I was using the pads to jump over him and rain bullets and...
I did this recently on my x1900xt. I must have spent 8 or 9 hours just on that Ion frigate level. I would load the game and spend 1-2 hours capturing ships, then save and let it sit for a couple days. It was tedious, but eventually I had every one of them.

I picked up a copy at the Circuit City I work at in Houston , and I can tell you that it does not support Co-op, even over Lan. That was a painful discovery.

First up is my main gaming rig. Ive been using this rig for about a year now. Its a very solid gaming machine.

My KB toys had good deals too, but they did eventually fold :(
I have found good deals at Target, old stuff for 5 bucks. Look for the red sitckers, as they don't change the price tag on the shelves.
As disrespectful as that was, it was funny as hell. In a game like WoW, it almost seems appropriate, in a cynical kinda way. I can understand if some (or all) of the mourners are upset, but I like to think that if the deceased saw it, she would have smiled. A true WoW-style event.
That is the truth man, and I think it is a good thing. Some of my buddies started playing Jedi Knight and Quake 3 and UT with me after having fun in Halo. Halo just made the FPS more accessible. Overrated, yes, but is overrated the same thing as overhyped?
The most overhyped games have to...
