    Assassins Creed Brotherhood DRM confirmed

    My experience with AC2 was that the game would save locally periodically, and then after, say, 4-6 hours of playing would suddenly crash to desktop, and on re-loading the game the online save would overwrite my last few hours of work. Without the online save feature, I would only have lost...

    Are developers masters of their own games?

    I'm definitely no good at Heroes of Newerth, heh. Savage 2 I'm extremely rusty at. Way too busy working lately, I'm afraid. Maliken, Gogo, and some of the others are really good at HoN though. Lots of different skill levels across the staff. The guys making the gameplay and balance...

    Quick, need opinion Mirrors Edge ($5 Steam deal)

    I was holding out for $10, so naturally I bought it as soon as I got home from work. Played the PS3 demo at a friend's house not too long ago and liked what I saw, but at the time I felt that the controls would be more comfortable on the PC.

    What keyboard do you game on?

    Saitek Eclipse - formerly using a G15 (one of the first ones), but the keys were pretty stiff. Eclipse is nice 'n' smooth.

    cheap sound blaster 24bit pci sound card vs my onboard audio

    I'd like to find something that's reliable, doesn't require any special installation (I don't mind normal driver install stuff; I figure my attention span after getting it in the motherboard and booted up is about an hour), and is under $75 (edit: meh, maybe up to $100). I'm currently having...

    savage 2 now free to play

    There's a lot to Savage 2, so it takes a bit of time to take it all in. Also, Savage 2, while having some individual parts that are similar to other games, is pretty unique as a whole. Give it a few more hours and it'll start to come together and make sense.

    The account that you paid for is now a premium account, which costs $9.99 (you don't have to upgrade if you've previously bought Savage 2, your account has already been converted).

    Purchased Savage 2 off Steam, won't load.

    Hey guys, S2Mercenary here. I'm sorry I didn't get to the issue sooner. If you have any future issues with the game, feel free to post in the customer/technical support forum or the bug reports forum. I primarily keep an eye on those looking for potential issues. You can also e-mail me at...

    Installing Company Of Heroes. Do I need to install patches in order or the latest?

    Shouldn't there be some sort of full 2.101 patch? (not just 1.71-2.101).

    Savage 2 - Worth 10 Bucks?

    Finally got the chance to do a decent video of the game, thanks to the changes in the replay viewer coming in the next patch (already in the test client). http://www.jrpereira.com/savage2/savage2_hiddenvillage_trailer.wmv http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eo9kNAFiyTY Let me know what you think.

    Savage 2 - Worth 10 Bucks?

    When you fire up the version that you download through steam, it'll prompt you to create a savage 2 account (and I think your promo code [i.e. steam purchase/cd key thing] will already be filled in at that screen). Once you create the Savage 2 account, that account will work on any copy of...

    Savage 2 - Worth 10 Bucks?

    For the moment, all servers including the community ones are alternating between full to the brim and almost full. Tomorrow and through the rest of the week they're bringing up new servers, and community members are setting up new servers/looking for places to rent servers at this very moment...

    Savage 2 for $9.99 on Steam.......

    When the new servers are set up, there will be more tiered servers with different level ranges. Only reason why they didn't have them before is that there weren't enough players to justify it.

    Savage 2 for $9.99 on Steam.......

    They reduced it a while back to where there's only a few extra seconds (3-5?) for demo users. However, if your team isn't able to meet its gold upkeep, you'll have increased spawn times. That feature is to prevent enemy players from ignoring your buildings and farming your team when your team...

    Savage 2 for $9.99 on Steam.......

    Looks like the $10 steam deal brought in enough players to pack every official server and have some spillover in the lobby. S2 is currently working to get new servers up, but they may not arrive til monday.

    Savage 2 On Steam $5 Off

    It looks like Savage 2 may be going through a few months of polishing and bug squashing: I'm really hoping to see the game grow. Despite its flaws, when everything comes together the game is absolutely amazing. They just recently released the second major content patch. I created two of...

    Savage 2 On Steam $5 Off

    Looks like Savage 2 is coming back from the grave due to the steam release. Hopefully we can get a solid player base this time. I've been getting some new gameplay videos on youtube recently. If you don't want to bother downloading the game for the demo (or the free offline stuff), check...

    Keyboards 'Dirtier Than a Toilet'

    I'd be willing to bet that the spotless germaphobic clean freaks are also the most disease-prone. If you live a little dirty your immune system will thank you for it. BTW, apparently they haven't seen the upstairs toilet in my house.

    (HP) Media Center Remote Woes

    I haven't yet been able to find that particular remote, but would this one work as a media center remote? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880100851 Honestly I'd rather have it in black if possible, but if not, oh well.

    Yea, I came here hoping to find any information regarding my non-functioning hp remote, or maybe suggestions for alternatives (not that I want the hardware to beat me). Updates to this section would really be useful.

    (HP) Media Center Remote Woes

    So I have this particular remote which came with my laptop - a hp dv9335nr. It worked fine in vista, but from what I understand it's supposed to work with XP mce as well. ... but it doesn't. It was my original understanding that the remote is a regular media center remote, but it seems that's...

    Savage: The Battle for Newerth...

    There's something in the range of about 300 people in the prebeta. They're still working on the kinds of bugs and issues that will be too obvious to bother leaving in the beta and hearing about a thousand more times. It's looking good so far. Don't expect Savage 2 to be so incredibly...

    Won a PSP - what do I do now?

    If chains of olympus is as good as god of war 1 and 2, then you should get it immediately. The ps2 games kicked so much ass. I don't have a psp yet, but I'm starting to think that I won't be able to hold out for much longer.

    Terminating Internet Service Not Easy

    I work at an ISP that does this. We do it because we're dependant on verizon's lines and they charge us out the ass for provisioning fees. We're basically taking a loss for the first few months on our lower speed service without the setup fee, and if the customer cancels early, then we have no...

    Supreme Commander Performance

    Hmm. Well, still, IF you could get a system like his for $1100, I'd like to know so I can get something like that cheap when I upgrade. Even with the fps issues and the various small bugs/desyncs/etc., supreme commander is by far the best RTS I've played and among the top games I've ever...

    Supreme Commander Performance

    Simply put - It won't run well unless you have a cray. I've got an amd64x2 4600, 7800GTX, 2 gigs of ram, and asus m2n32-SLI deluxe system and it only runs ok (30ish fps at best) on low (except shadows, which are at their lowest 'on' setting so i can more easily see aircraft). The second you...

    General observation: Pc gaming is for enthusiasts, console gaming is for casuals.

    I dunno why people have to take sides with it. Even with console gaming being more casual and pc gaming being more hardcore - both can still be enjoyed by a single person. I enjoy PC gaming for when I really want to sit down and play hard. For me, console gaming is about relaxing and...

    Warcraft 3 Errors

    I had dealt with this problem on a map of mine for almost 3 years. It seemed to boil down to the object database for the map going bad somehow. I never got back to working on the map, but I've tried recreating the map using only certain code, objects, and terrain and it seems to be related to...
