    Starcraft II BlizzCon Coverage

    Oh, it is badass. I had the pleasure of playing the game last weekend at Blizzcon. It is worthy of being a sequel to Starcraft.

    South Park Season 10 DVD to include 14-day WoW Trial

    Yes, since they're going to force you to install the trial. I really don't understand all the hate for World of Warcraft, it truly is a phenomenal game.

    BlizzCon

    Thermopylae_480, I posted my write up on our old guild website, along with some pics. Feel free to link to it and post my impressions all you want.

    Windows Vista Tech Support

    The two biggest problems I've had is my sound card stopped working, but a quick re-install of the drivers fixed that. I'm also having trouble with imbedded WMA videos loading in Firefox, because it is trying to use Windows Media Player 10, rather than 11. That's not a big problem either, I...

    PHP problems

    That's what I was thinking as well, except for it has managed to get past two forms of security: accepting an e-mail that allows access (not a big surprise) and actually getting past moderator approval for forum access. It also changes domains all the time, much to my chagrin, so simply banning...

    PHP problems

    Lately, on several different PHP forums, the user HelenVBeden, along with a slew of other user names, has appeared on different forums. I first noticed it on my WoW guild forums, but I've caught it in other non-WoW forums. Does anyone have any idea how to circumvent this virus? It just spams...

    Should I get a Nintendo Wii OR and Xbox 360?

    Or you could install Yellow Dog Linux for the PS3, even though it is terrible. The best thing about it is the access to documentation on the Cell API.

    Should I get a Nintendo Wii OR and Xbox 360?

    I think that's because people get way into the games. It just takes flicks of the wrist, people. You don't have to throw like a major league pitcher to play a baseball game. I also think some of the reports are a tad bit exaggerated.

    Should I get a Nintendo Wii OR and Xbox 360?

    Yeah, because it is one of the most intense and visceral games released in years. Plus it was an excellent game. How about Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, Eternal Darkness, Prince of Persia: Two Thrones, and the Metroid Prime (it doesn't have to have blood and be rated M) games? Oh and...

    Xbox 360 Controller Question?

    I get, on average, around 31 hours per charge

    Xbox 360 Controller Question?

    Just plug it into your PC like the other user suggested. It won't be damaged, the controller stops charging once full I believe. I personally recommend the play and charge kit, it works great, I very rarely have to charge my controllers, the pack holds its power for awhile.

    Should I get a Nintendo Wii OR and Xbox 360?

    Just because its a Nintendo console doesn't mean all the games are for kids (like Resident Evil 4 on the Gamecube). Also, Zelda, though its not really violent, is incredibly fun; it is a great game. The Wii isn't about graphics, its about fun. The controller works fine too, make sure your...

    Should I get a Nintendo Wii OR and Xbox 360?

    Actually, the 360 only plays in 1080p after you get the massive update that came in late October. Also, though it displays at 1080p, its usually only running 720p textures upscaled to the new resolution, not true 1080p textures (only one 360 game came with 1080p textures, which I believe were...

    Help, Video Card WAY TOO HOT

    The temperature data could be wrong. One of my CPU temp. readers always tells me that it is around 500c, which is impossible.

    What multiplayer games do you play?

    I play UT 2004, classic UT, CS:S, Half-Life 2 DM, every now and then Halo 2, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory, World of Warcraft, Battlefield 2, Ghost Recon: Advance Warfighter (on 360), and sometimes a random RTS (Starcraft, C&C:Generals). I used to play Red Orchestra, but my friends tell me no one...
