    Petitioning for 970 Refund

    Did you buy your card during the "choose your path" promotion? I'm wondering if there would be an issue with that. I didn't really want any of the games offered but redeemed the code on the last day so it wouldn't go to waste.

    T500RS Racing Wheel for PS3 $150 ($450 off)

    I think it's up up the software developer to support any given wheel for PS4, also I think I recall Drive Club saying they would support this wheel. But yeah caveat emptor and all that for PS4.

    "There was always going to be a day one update on the console" - Microsoft

    I don’t see why Microsoft can’t have it both ways. If you purchase a digital version you get to take advantage of the 10 person circle. Their sharing plan seemed to good to be true, so they may have been getting heat from publishers in addition to the fire and pitchfork brigade after...

    Odds a Logitech G27 setup will work with PS4 or Xbox

    I have a PWTS Fanatec wheel (911) and it will not work, the Xbone will use wifi-direct and has never worked via USB because the XBOX and now Xbone won't support USB HID I don't see any reason why wheels, fightsticks etc that work on PS3 now won't work on PS4 Both companies have said the...

    PS4: $399, no online authentication, no used game restrictions...(Post E3 discussion)

    I’m interested to see the details of PSN+ going forward. I just got it for the first time, bought a 3 month pass to check it out. Got some really good games, and I am looking forward to more. I feel like I got good value for my $18. But since PSN+ will be required for online multiplayer, it...

    New Bill Pushes For A La Carte Cable TV

    Reading the link provided, I get the impression Comcast, Direct TV etc. cannot offer it even if they want. They are forced to buy crap channels and content bundled with high demand content. So ala carte isn't even an option, this seems to be what the bill is addressing. Plus it's got freedom...

    Lord British Presents website countdown

    In for first responder @ $25 feel like a cheapskate since I paid $59.99 for Ultima ][ in 1982 hah. But I imagine I can up my contribution down the road. Glad Lord British is back making an innovative RPGs!

    Wing Commander was made by Chris Roberts, have you looked into Star Citizen? Ultima and Wing Commander were great in their day, two of all-time my favorites.

    Logitech G700 discontinued?

    Still using my awesome G7 but really needing some more buttons. Priced dropped to $55 on Amazon today so I pulled the trigger. Really good price I think. Going to miss the hot swapping batteries of the G7 but oh well.

    New Keyboard & Mouse - what would you get???

    I replaced my Logitech G15 with a Vortex Race tenkeyless mechanical (red cherry switches & white LED backlight). The keys feel great and it freed up an incredible amount of desk space, and my hands can be much closer together, which feels better. And I picked up a Griffin Powermate for volume...

    want a montior to be mounted on wall...

    VESA is the mounting standard and is what's most common, the bolt hole pattern on the back of the monitor for the mount to bolt into. You can get a desk clamp style mount if you don't want to drill holes into your wall or want the option of moving it around. Monoprice has a nice selection of...

    Just do the heart quests and your story, you will level quickly. Jump on any events going on in the area. Harvest all nodes. Look at the hero page (H) and do your dailies. Doing map completes gives good rewards and XP too. For the Elementalist I’d recommend using sceptre/dagger, sceptre/focus...

    Buy Catleap Or Wait On Overlord?

    I ordered a Catleap 2b extreme. If you are going to order a regular Catleap, I'd wait. From what I've read the recent price increase is temporary. I almost ordered one about tens days ago when it was $309 shipped, but now they are over $400. edit: I see they are down a bit to the 360 range but...

    In addition, once you unlock a waypoint, sprinkled all over most maps, you can teleport back to it for a nominal fee. Also there are teleport portals (Asura gates) in largely populated areas.

    Just bought a Griffin Powermate for Windows 7 64bit, anyone else running one?

    It works fine as volume control on the desktop. With fullscreen apps you need to set it up with the Powermate software, which is fine if the app will allow control with the powermate's default action or keystrokes. But in a game for example, where you have to open a menu and adjust the volume...

    Just bought a Griffin Powermate for Windows 7 64bit, anyone else running one?

    Ripster, I was hoping you'd chime in since I recall you have those cool mods on the Powermates...and legos! It's a shame it can't work as a master volume control regardless of what's in the foreground. Oh well it's a neat device and comes in handy when at the Windows desktop. Getting my 1st...

    Just bought a Griffin Powermate for Windows 7 64bit, anyone else running one?

    I’m ditching my G15 keyboard after many years of use, so I just picked one up yesterday. I just grabbed the 2.0.1 download from their site. Installed and works fine with Windows 7 64-bit on the system in my signature. One bummer is that it loses functionality on the default global...

    I had a much more positive impression than swatX. Had some of those olde timey feelings of wonderment like the first times exploring in EQ and DAoC. Even with the fast travel systems it feels like a “world” instead of a bunch of zones. It doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but...

    Venerable MX-1000 won't charge without an argument

    Cleaning the contacts with isopropyl alcohol is a good idea, if that doesn't do it you can also try some super fine sandpaper, probably something in the 800-1000 grit or finer range.

    Odd question heh...but if it helps i'm using a DoubleSight DS-263N S-IPS panel and it's fine. I don't know if you are looking for the best response time with no ghosting like you would in an FPS?

    Seemed pretty much the same to me. I saw 17-100 FPS, just depended on where I was or what was going on. GPU usage was still low, 45-60% most of the time. 1920x1200 FXAA high detail. Saw 45-65 FPS generally doing PVE. Two months should be a good amount of time to optimize though. Can't wait...

    Logitech G7 mouse NIB 7/2/12 4:45:15 PDT $0.99!

    Oh the $102 was yours, cool. Yeah I saw the last two completed NIB winning bids went for a premium. I've used a G7...must be 5 years or so? I love it and had this one as a backup. But I really want some more buttons for games. G700 looks cool but the battery life isn't so good I guess. I love...

    They stated on their official forums that the game was still CPU bound for BWE2. For the most part I was in the 35-70 range in moderately populated PVE areas. I’d be over 100 in some areas, and drop into the 20’s or teens in crowded/spammy areas (1920x1200 max detail with HIGH...

    What games are you guys playing?

    DayZ for me, it's a trip for sure. It's a mod for Arma2 OA. It's in alpha so it's buggy and laggy at times but it's pretty intense with perma-death and player-killing bandits lurking about! Should be able to pick up the game for $10-20, I'm sure Steam will have it on sale for the summer event...
