#1: Permafrost prevents them from burying the cables underground. It ain't cheap to thaw out the ground just to bury these cables for these 150 miles from Fairbanks. There is no road access to Tanana, only by air or river boat can they be accessed. #2: 80% of the villagers (about 250 out of...

Yeah, that's because the Alaska Blockbuster stores are "Blockbusters in Name Only". They are owned by another company, Border Entertainment, who will end up owning 26 (13 in Alaska) out of the remaining 52 Blockbuster stores left open after all the Dish-owned stores close down. They will keep...

Sigh, FAI? Good thing I bought a dedicated GPS for the next trip up to Fairbanks in a couple months from now. Wheee, winter driving. No worries, I have enough common sense to NOT drive through airport security, let alone getting even close to a runway/taxiway.

Not sure about the environmentalists? Wouldn't they be all about saving energy resources and reducing pollution? Doesn't THIS do pretty much the job while saving time on travel? Sure, we would have to make a path for this, but it's pretty miniscule compared to how many roads there are in...

You can also see the Portal Gun on the bookshelf (shelf?) in the background on the video.

It came up all funky-like in Firefox. So here's a link to version 2.0 on their site (had to find it on my own manually): http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_2_0.zip

1.0 WAS also set to be released for the PS3, but because of the disastrous launch of the game and the lack of content/players, they had to put it on hold and decided to fix the game instead before even proceeding with the work on the PS3. They decided to put in a new game engine in instead of...

You've given me a peace of mind on ordering the GPU yesterday before it went OOS. I have almost exactly the same setup as you do with the new GPU (upgrading from a 6850), so reading your comment on the Tomb Raider with the max settings with TressFX enabled and seeing that you have been getting...

Pretty sure you can buy items at Costco and Sams Club without a membership at either stores. You will have to pay a 10% markup at both because you're not a member. It can depend greatly on what you buy. Oftentimes it's a lot cheaper to buy a membership than to deal with the 10% markup if you...

Sorry to hear that it didn't work for you. I just placed an order for the MYST edition and applied the code, coming down with the final total of 208.79 for the card, with the 2-day Shoprunner shipping for me. Excellent deal over the Pitcairn 7870 at this price. I have done extensive research...

Yes, its a click-type scrolling mouse. I have the G400, got it for 30 off Amazon about a couple months ago. 20 bucks is an excellent price for a starter/basic no-frills gaming mouse.

There's still some hope for you, Ruoh. Beta Phase 2 will come in a few weeks. They might invite more people then. They will also invite WAY more people for the Phase 3. That's in April, most likely. Each Beta Phases are about 3-4 weeks long.

No, drstk - as long as you have the game listed in the service account page on the Square Enix Account Management System, you're good to go.

pliskin679: Even mentioning your opinion on and commenting about the gameplay in the beta is against the NDA, regardless if it's positive or negative. I'm not trying to be a party pooper, but I just don't want to see you lose your beta privileges. They really do clamp down on these severely...

Google "Gamers Window Relocator". That thing works like a charm to make it look like full screen even when it's on windowed mode. Very useful for certain games too.

THAT... is now a valid reason. :D

I skimmed through the article... and I cannot see a valid reason for sane and smart people to do things like this. This is sad. Very sad. Not the grieving "somebody died" sad, it's the "I've lost all faith in humanity" sadness I'm feeling.

Great monitor. Using it right now. No VESA mounting, which sucks but that's ok. I almost thought about buying another one for dual monitor setup but realised I wouldn't be using the second monitor often enough. Ah well.

Final Fantasy XIV. XI does have decent day/night cycles, too.

Borderlands 2 is also 50% off on Steam.

When you check out any reviews for Newegg or Amazon and you see a ton of reviews all over the board on ranking yet it's a popular item... it's always best to check just the one or two star reviews and see if they are fraudulent or incorrect. Most people tend to post a negative review when...

Guess what? My local McDonald's (I think all of them) has a limit on sit-down time now. 30 minutes or so of eating. I believe this is to limit the excessive use of the wifi at their restaurant locations. I'm up in Alaska.

I wonder if anyone else has thought of this bright idea that Rockstar might be doing: /tinfoil_on The release date was always in September, never March. They set the March release date up only to build hype for the game, now with this delay they have effectively build up way more hype /...

Legacy status here too. Looking forward to playing it in two weeks or so. I initially played the game using the 360 controller, but with the first of four beta phases, I'll have to use the keyboard and mouse combo. At least I'll be doing real beta testing, reporting bugs and stuff. It's...

broken link?

From what I can see, they have a 3-year warranty which is still nice! Dual fans to keep the GPU refreshingly cool for gaming... among other things. I have yet to own a Galaxy product, though.

Clearly some of you haven't read the article. (Fixed a typo in the paragraph) From what I can discern, this happened on the 30th, not the 31st. I wonder what they needed to be doing on the internet to drug their parents to break the curfew. I'm a bit surprised that the parents knew what to do...

On the AMD website, it shows that the card (usually depending on the manufacturer, you didn't mention yours) does have dual-link DVI and Displayport. It SHOULD work. After doing a search within the thread, I have come to the conclusion that it will work, BUT that you won't see the BIOS when...

This will be the perfect card for a planned purchase of one of the 27'' Korean 1440p monitors. I currently have a 6850 in my rig. While the 6850 can handle it, a 7870 would be a much better card!

I'd consider his actions to be this: To encourage Oracle to update Java ASAP instead of months down the road. We won't know how long until Oracle finally updates its software with a security patch if Gowdiak didn't release his findings on the vulnerability. By then, most likely someone else in...

They (Google) have now officially blurred out the rifle or shotgun. Not sure which one of you guys reported that... but anyway thought I'd mention that.

I'd love to see that pretty card inside my case! Been eyeing the 7950 for a while now.

Facebook overcoming hurdles? How about this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es9rTuUb1-w - Yep, overcoming them, alright. :rolleyes: As for Facebook - I haven't seen them improve anything of theirs lately. Their mobile apps still suck so bad, even when they've been working on making a...

Do you have Kies installed? When I tried to access my broken LCD screen S2 this morning, I had to get Kies installed before adb devices could recognise it. After that it was easy for me to back up the phone at that point (copy files off of it so I can move on to the S3) and performed a factory...

I'd be willing to test out the mouse. It would probably be my first hardware (peripheral) that I have ever done. Well, that and I'm currently using a Microsoft Explorer Mini Mouse... nice mouse, but small and not exactly ideal for gaming, but it has been decent for me for two years with this...

Really, I think this should have gone like this: "How do you make up statistics that 74% of WoW players date, according to Lou Ferrigno? HULK SMASH!" (I know it's very lame, but because I'm lame I couldn't resist.)

Did the survey. Hope it helped with your dissertation. The best of luck to you! Wish I had the ability to put in Autism/Asperger's, but that's fine.

Aces High is the name of the game. It's still around, can be found here. I used to love the game, and would love to go back to it if I had a HOTAS setup laying around here, but unfortunately I don't. It has a monthly fee of 10 bucks, which is decent. I also have an interest on getting back...

Squaresoft, not Square Enix. :eek: PS1. I miss that console - never heard the happy jingle, mainly because I'm deaf. PS2 for the second place, naturally.

They bought Kesmai Studios in 1999, killed it in 2001. I was playing a semi-decent game called Air Warrior III. I played it online then. Heck, I was flying in-game on 9/11 when someone said something about the first WTC towers being hit by a "Cessna". The game was killed off almost 3 months...
