    Unreal Tournament 3

    Play online with real players. Bot killing is meaningless and just shows you are good at killing bots, which basically amounts to the same as being able to play tennis against a wall. It doesn't translate well into playing versus other players.

    what 'old school' game would you like to see a sequel or new version?

    River City Ransom was remade for the gameboy advance and named River City Ransom EX, with new moves, customizable characters, and even a 4 way battle royale at the end if you bring 3 extra friends :D.

    Is there something that tells you cure hurts zombies in FFIV?

    If he has trouble figuring out zombies of all things in an RPG which uses basic element strategy, then god help him once he reaches bosses like the Magus Sisters, Asura, and Bahamut:p. "SHE KEEPS HEALING HERSELF WTF"

    The New EVE: Apocrypha

    Wrecks that have no loot inside aren't assigned to anyone, so you are free to salvage them without penalty. Most people don't even bother salvaging, so if you want money fast you can setup a salvaging ship and start grabbing that junk:D.

    The New EVE: Apocrypha

    Probing / scanning is a lot of fun :D. I reactivated my account this week after a huge 4 year hiatus (I actually was playing the game in beta too) to give it a shot again. Last time I had played I had just joined an alliance (currently part of Goonswarm), got ganked in a mid security sector...

    is Darkfall vaporware after all?

    If I remember, there was one PvP server in Everquest which did this called Discord. It didn't last long for obvious reasons, with griefers and hackers completely destroying the server where anyone playing legit got tired and left. It will be the same problem with Darkfall. Once hacks and...

    How do I copy a gaming video?

    Fraps, but if your friend really has an ancient computer, he won't be able to run the video itself very well at all. It will be a slideshow.

    Best Nintendo DS Local Link Multiplayer Games

    You'll get bored of Animal Crossing very quickly (there is very little game and really for the casual player), and Children of Mana is not very good. Get Mario Kart DS, and you could also get Elite Beat Agents for the both of you. Your GF will love it, and you can get pretty addicted to it as well.

    SOE finally sold out EQ

    EQ was the pinnacle of MMORPG gaming in what I would call the golden age of MMORPG's. There never was a game which brought in adventure and fun like this game, even if the 'fun' was trying to hopelessly get back to your corpse. I still remember being a total newbie in the game, and being a human...

    Vista Mic Input Too Low

    Right click the volume icon, select recording devices. In recording devices double click on the microphone. In the microphone menu click the levels tab, and you will have one option for mic volume and another for mic boost.

    Vista Mic Input Too Low

    Put in +20db Boost in when choosing recordings settings for your mic and you will be able to hear yourself in the mic. Normal and +10db did not work for me in Vista 64. Of course I have a different problem, I need to lower the sound of everything else except the mic for recording purposes, but...

    Changing mic / sound settings in Vista and recording both

    So far I've figured out the stereo mix enabled in Vista trick, and how to make my mic audible where I can hear perfectly what I say on the video. The problem is...my other sounds and music are playing just as loud as my mic so it makes for a noisy mess when making a video. Basically what I...

    Left 4 Dead Demo?

    Sounds like you guys sucked and playing solo rambo style if you were dying on normal. Normal is training at best, the fun is the more difficult levels. And too many zombies? There can never be too many zombies.

    ATI 4850 screen randomly flashes black

    My HDTV is currently on a DVDI to VGA adapter (waiting on an HDMI cable shipped). It's so random and bizarre though. I've also had this problem where the HDTV loses its refresh rate and gets a 'not supported mode' error (does not affect my main monitor). This has only happened with my new system...

    ATI 4850 screen randomly flashes black

    I have the same problem it just happens out of the blue, and always on desktop only (havent at it happen in game yet). I get a 'display driver not responding' error on vista. I have a somewhat similar build, Q6600, DS3R board, Vista 64 and a HIS 4850 card. I use dual monitors though and ATI's...

    Ok ATI. 64bit

    I wonder if my issue is related. HD4850 on Vista 64 bit, latest ATI 8.10 catalyst driver and also dual monitor. Every time I change games, or the system goes in hibernation mode, I lose the screen on my 2nd monitor (my HDTV). If I try to change the HDTV as my primary monitor, I lose the screen...

    Need help building a mid-high end gaming / video editing rig

    Thanks for the help with the suggestions for a good mid-high end rig. In the end I upgraded to the Corsair 750W as suggested since it was only 15$ more then the 650W. I was really battling myself, but in the end I settled for one HD4850 for now instead of going for an HD4870, and may get 2nd...

    Need help building a mid-high end gaming / video editing rig

    I started researching a bit more now, and see that HD4850 in crossfire beats out an HD4870 in the most recent hard review in games. I can get an HD4850 card for 200$ CAN (170$ with mail in rebate) compared to 370$ for the 1GB version HD4870. I also realize that the DS3L motherboard does not...

    Need help building a mid-high end gaming / video editing rig

    1) My current monitor is a 19inch 1280x1024 LCD so I am limited on that part, but also use my 42inch HDTV 1080p as a second monitor. I'd expect to upgrade my current monitor in a year or two. 2) I'm not playing many current games since they are just too tough on my computer, though I have...

    Need help building a mid-high end gaming / video editing rig

    Hey guys, I'm finally deciding to upgrade my old 2003 AGP based system and start again from scratch. It's had a very good run and I tried keeping it afloat upgrading to cards such as the 7800GS at the end of the AGP life, but it's time to finally move on. Problem is, it's been so long since I...

    Finally quit World of Warcraft

    NPD Sales for October

    The Dreamcast didn't have any direct competition for quite some time. Nintendo Wii came out as a late comer, and against 2 superior machines hardware wise. Dreamcast also didn't fail, Sega pulled the plug due to its past failures like the Saturn being too much of a mountain to climb over.

    Would you pay $10,000 for a WoW character?

    Made about 1500$ selling plat in EQ1 around Planes of Power time without really trying. Man, being an enchanter in those days pre-charm nerf, with exclusive access to the Plane of Tactics where I could solo charm those hasted dual wielding ogres, or solo in the pits was awesome. Massive...

    Lair got a 4.5 on gamespot.

    Are you some self-proclaimed knight and protector of Sony and all things PS3 related or something? If a game stinks, it stinks. Lair was proclaimed to be one of the most sought after games for the PS3, and how it would show the true power behind the PS3. It ended up stinking up the joint and got...

    SALES not shipments are low for PS3

    I hope you are kidding. One, Nintendo makes a profit on each console while Sony loses on each. Second, it doesn't matter if a console sells for 100$ or 5000$, if the games themselves sell for 50-60$ each, you want more consoles out there to get the optimum amount of games sold. The bulk of...

    Nearly 9 Million Wii's sold worldwide! (As of June)

    So called 'critics' said the exact same about the Nintendo DS. The fact of the matter is the Wii is selling at an incredible rate, and is doing so WITHOUT a huge must-have game other then Zelda. Wait until innovative games showing the true capabilities of the Wii controller (such as Nintendogs...

    Anyone played Sacred?

    Sacred was fairly good, but Titan's Quest is the game you want if you want a true Diablo 2clone that's fun. If you want the best Diablo 2 clone to satisfy your hunger for Diablo 3, then go with Titan's Quest + expansion. I actually went back to Titan's Quest a few weeks ago, created a new...

    Games with deep economies

    WoW is in no way even remotely comparable to the complexity that is found with EVE's economy. It's like comparing Monopoly to the stock market. He basically described EVE. WoW might be a much more popular game and much more forgiving to a casual player and it does have an economy, but there...

    I'm starting to be thankful I missed out on the Wii.

    Wii Sports is a teaser of things to come from Nintendo Wii. Even though it's simply a loose demo game about as deep as Sneak King, it does show that a dedicated game can easily take full advantage of the Wii controller's capabilities. It wasn't that long ago that Nintendo DS was seen as a...

    PS3 a Failure?

    The PS3 is a failure simply because Sony decided to attach a failure of a format onto their bread and butter of a console. The PS3 COULD have been out a year ago, and COULD be out with a 399$ price tag, and COULD have been out in great supply. All of this was possible, had Sony not been intent...

    Is the 4th difficulty on elite beat agents too easy?

    I wouldn't say it's too easy, just that more songs are needed. The last song is really tough due to pretty much needing to hit 300 on all hits to keep the bar afloat.If you get 100 on 1/3 of the hits you won't make it.
