    Indiegogo campaign under way for high end carbon fiber tripod

    If anyone's in the market for a *good* tripod, FLM Canada is doing an Indiegogo campaign for their latest model. They're treating it as a preorder campaign, so if you fund it, you'll get a tripod...but if they don't get fully funded they won't be able to offer it as a permanent part of their...

    FS: MSI R7970 3 GB

    OK, please take a second to read my situation before you PM me. I'm stationed overseas in South Korea. I had to RMA a defective MSI R7970 card, but MSI would not ship the replacement to me here in Korea. I finally got frustrated and just ordered an eVGA GTX 680 from Newegg. I had the RMA...

    Can anyone recommend a good VPN provider?

    I'm thinking about getting TERA when it comes out but discovered that Korean IP addresses will be blocked from the US version of the game. (I'm military stationed in Korea. I'm getting fed up with dealing with regional IP blocking and random issues like the Origin store refusing to display in...

    Avoid MSI products at all cost!!! TERRIBLE Customer Service!

    I am in the Air Force. I'm currently stationed in South Korea...I got here less than a month ago. Thanks to this overseas assignment, I have discovered how truly terrible MSI customer service is, and that they refuse to support American military members stationed overseas. How do I know this...

    Section 8: Prejudice - anyone still play?

    I bought this game after watching TotalBiscuit's "Why We Can't Have Nice Things" video on it, and I've really enjoyed the game mechanics from the single player campaign so far. Does anyone still play? There's a thread on the game here already but it hasn't been touched in over six months...

    Boot loader on a thumb drive?

    Just an idea I had...I'd kinda like to toy with linux on my system, but my experience in the past with installing two operating systems and using a boot loader has been a real PITA. What I'd like to do is install the OS to one of my hard drives, then install the boot loader onto a bootable...

    WTB: 5850 reference cooler OR broken 5850 with working fan

    Kind of an oddball, but I have an ATI 5850 that I just bought used, and it sounds like the fan may be failing on it. It's making a grindy noise sometimes. I'll probably try to take it apart to see about fixing it, but I'd like to have a backup option.

    World PvP in MMORPGs

    I keep hearing this recurring complaint from seemingly a lot of people, particularly about the current state of WoW, and I have a question. For all of those people out there who complain that Blizzard killed world PvP in WoW with battlegrounds and stuff...back in vanilla WoW, there weren't...

    Can we talk about preordering games - and how stupid this new trend is?

    Am I the only one that feels this way? So many of us who buy games are now pre-paying for titles based solely on the publisher's ability to hype it up in the media. I have never pre-ordered a game, and I have no intention of doing so in the future either. And now it's getting to the point...

    Any games out now (or soon) that would benefit from more than one 5850? (1920x1200)

    OK, so I'm almost done with my deployment, so that means I've got a decent amount of money in my bank account with which to fund a new build. Right now I've got an Intel Q6600 with a mild overclock, 4 GB of RAM, and an ATI 5850. The build I'm looking at is: Intel i7 930 ASUS X58M...

    Quick question about WoW - account hacking/recovery

    OK, so I used to be a WoW player. I'm kinda feeling that itch out here as something to do with my down time. Anyway, here's the deal. I quit back in the beginning of last year (January/February timeframe) because my account got hacked and I didn't feel like dealing with it. I don't remember...

    Looking for multiplayer PC FPS: free, fairly slack hardware requirements

    OK, so I'm looking to organize a squadron LAN party out here as part of a unit morale event...I'm not sure yet just how many people would be interested in attending something like that, but I'd like to maximize the number of people who can participate by finding at least one decent multiplayer...

    Borderlands DLC (specifically General Knoxx) performance worse than the main game?

    I don't really recall getting a significantly worse frame rate on my desktop PC in Borderlands but it did seem a little slower in General Knoxx than it did in the main game...but now I'm out here at the deployed location and my G73JH can't seem to handle the Knoxx DLC at all. It feels choppy...

    Looking for a netbook recommendation

    I've been thinking about getting a netbook for a while, and when I was on my flight across the Atlantic for my deployment last week, seeing a bunch of other Airmen on the plane watching movies and TV shows on their netbooks pretty much cemented my desire for one. Right now I'm strongly...

    Battlefield 1943 question...trial expired?

    So last year I bought Battlefield 1943 on the PSN store...played it happily, etc., etc. Well, I replaced the defective aftermarket HDD I had, and restored BF1943 (along with other games) from my backup...but I recently tried to play BF1943 a couple nights ago and I got a "Trial Expired"...

    Question about the ATI grey screen of death for 5800 series cards

    My new Asus laptop (5870 mobile graphics) is experiencing this issue, though I have only seen it happen a couple of times. I am trying to decide whether I want to deal with the RMA process. Does the grey screen of death tend to get worse as time goes on, I.e., does it start happening more often?

    HD benchmark results from a defective drive

    OK, so here's a little backstory. Like many gamers, I decided about 8 months ago to upgrade the hard drive on my PS3. I did the research, and chose a 5400 RPM drive because, at the time, the general accepted truth of it is that 7200 RPM drives might adversely affect performance. I picked a...

    FS: XFX 4870 1 GB

    Question about PS3 hard drive upgrades

    Almost a year ago, I upgraded my 40 GB PS3's hard drive to a WD Blue 250 GB hard drive. Ever since I did that, my PS3 has been really slow when it comes time to install new demos, game updates, etc. When I download demos, I usually start the install process and turn off my TV, and come back in...

    Question about headphone amps...do I need one for my PC?

    OK, I want to start my question off by stating clearly: I am not an audiophile. I do, however, enjoy having decent quality sound, i.e., I'm not willing to settle for mediocre computer speakers or the speakers built into my TV. For my computer, I have a Logitech Z-680 speaker set that I've...

    Are there any gamepad friendly interfaces to launch games from?

    So I'm kinda toying with the idea of upgrading my main rig and tossing any upgraded parts into my HTPC for some light gaming duties on my TV downstairs. It'd be kinda cool to use a gaming computer for some more gamepad friendly games (third person action games, racing games, etc.). I'm just...

    F/S: BFGTech 8800GT w/ aftermarket air cooling

    New larger video card sizes a trend to stay?

    My Lian-Li case barely fits the 8800GT I have right now, and I was planning on skipping the ATI 4800/nVidia GTX 265/285/295 generation of cards (of course, the nVidia lineup wouldn't have fit my case anyway.) So when I read that the new ATI 5870 is longer now too, I wasn't happy. Anyone know...

    Roommate's laptop doesn't like my D-Link DIR-825?

    Hey, I have an odd problem...or my roommate does, I mean. I have a D-Link DIR-825 that I'm pretty happy with. My laptop connects to it just fine through the wireless network and it seems to go pretty fast. My roommate's Toshiba laptop, though, is extremely slow on it. His laptop is equipped...

    So I need a WoW PvE server to play on (horde)

    I have recently realized that every time I have gotten frustrated and quit WoW it has been because of PvP. I've always played on PvP servers because my friends always played on them, but tbh the ruleset just isn't for me...I'm more likely to help an alliance player if they're in trouble than I...

    Anyone else starting to prefer cel-shaded graphics?

    I'm looking at Bit-Tech's Prince of Persia preview and I really think that the cel-shaded graphics add a lot to the graphical appeal of the game. (I'm not a big PoP fan, just judging some of the screenshots.) Obviously graphics have come a LONG way in the last decade, but now that we're at the...

    The Warhammer Online server/faction balance thread

    Since faction balance is pretty important in a game so strongly rooted in PvP and RvR, I figured I'd start this thread. Basically, the idea here is that, if you play Warhammer Online, just make a post saying what server you play on (feel free to say what guild, character name, etc if you want)...

    Laptop keeps switching display to TV (hooked up via S-Video)...

    Is it possible to buy just the receiver for a wireless mouse?

    OK so I just deployed to Kosovo and I got here and quickly discovered that the receiver for my brand spanking new Logitech MX620 didn't get packed in my gear. It operates on the 2.4 GHz frequency, does anyone know if it's possible to buy just the receiver somewhere?
