I could see enforcement as being very easy. BTW, this is all hypothetical... 1) When you setup a Ps3 it makes you get on the Internet and say it's your console. 2) When you play a new game it registers itself to your PS3 account and your PS3. After that point that disc can only be played...

Wow, I've tried every Diablo clone that came down the line. This one finally gets it right. The graphics are really good. Tons of detail and very pretty. The combat is right on the money. It just has the right feel. So many Diablo clones have screwed this up. I think it comes down to...

The tony hawk game I thought was a DS game. That would explain the graphic quallity. Also I expect this thing to be around $150-200. No way it'll be even close to the 360 or PS3 price. They are going for super mass market penetration. That means really really low price.

No one knows. There is still no change at the official Quakecon website except for a news post from last week that says Hang in there. I'm tired of waiting. I have to let my boss know really soon if I'll be going or not. Plus we all have to line up hotel rooms, etc. This wait really blows...

The main quest was interesting to me until it became a item hunt. "go get me this, now go get me this, blah, blah, blah". At some point I'll back and finish the main quest but right now I'm finding the Thieves guild and Dark Brotherhood quests much more interesting.

Same as tetrahedron. I did the D2D thing and have had no problems besides the problems that everyone else is having. I didn't have to even leave the house to get the game. And I didn't have to install Steam and leave it running and all that crap. Nice.

Really? hmmm...

Personally, I feel like $250 is way to much to pay for a mod. I only paid around $50 for the game itself. Bethesda is totally out of their minds if they think I'll pay 5 times what I paid for the game for just a mod for my horse. That's just crazy. If they lowered the price to maybe a...

Not to sound like a wimp but just move the difficulty slider one notch to the left. I got stuck at one point in the main story and moving the slider was the only thing that got me past it. It's changeable at anytime for a reason so use it. I went from spending 6 or 7 arrows on a stupid goblin...

You can get it at any addon site. It's usually listed in their top 10 addons. ui.worldofwar.net has it or curse-gaming or whatever your addon site of choice is probably has it.

Use Auctioneer. Everytime you visit the Auction House tell it to do a scan. This gives you lots of information over time that it can use to build up a good idea of what price everything goes for. After a week or so you have a good listing of what anythings price is. The longer you use it the...

Ok, obviously you guys don't understand - if it isn't in Texas I will cry like a little girl. :P And nobody really wants to see that.

It doesn't say where the new venue is. Sounds like they don't know yet. The Gaylord was awesome though. Super nice hotel. It was like a kickass vacation with games thrown in. My wife even enjoyed going as I'm sure a lot of other peoples significant others did as well. I'm surprised that...

You need 2 gigs of RAM.

I'm totally looking forward to Titan Quest. Diablo-like gameplay with a good 3d engine? I'll try it. Maybe this one will finally be as good as or better than Diablo 2 (so many have tried, and so many have failed).

I like the idea of multiple auction houses. Maybe it will relieve some of the crowdedness of Ironforge and Ogrimmar. It didn't last night, but I figure most people were just trying to sort out there addons last night. The changes to Paladins are ok but the timer on how many times you can...

I read an interview with one of the Medal of Honor devs a long time ago. He said the games are better played at the highest difficulty level. It becomes a whole new game. Yeah, anyone can breeze through on the lower to middle difficulty levels. That's why they are there. But the hardest...

I was bummed about no official G15 support from Blizzard for WoW. Then I remembered that they have a zboard just for WoW. That answers that question. I'm sure part of their relationship with zboard includes that they won't support any other keyboards...which sucks.

Haiku comes across as a bitter, jaded, sarcastic, funny guy who just got sick of all the bullshit long ago. Kinda like every other really smart person I know in the computer field. If you read his posts without that knowledge I could see how you might take offense. Get a thicker skin...

Some of the vids look the Quake 4 MP demos are running on the new Dell XPS which are running dual 7800 GTXs with 2GB of RAM and probably whatever the fastest Inter Processor is at the moment.

I'll add my bit... System Shock 2 - I still like playing this one every once in a while (my favorite game of all time) Half-Life 1 - duh No One Lives Forever - loved the gameplay on the hard setting and the guard conversations were funny. Medal of Honor - Allied Assault - the ONLY...

Great setup but if you are upgrading for BF2 then you need to go ahead and get 2GB of RAM. It makes a world of difference.

I hooked up the 7800 to my TV and ZAP! It fried the card. Followed all the instructions and used the included little converter. Luckily it didn't fry my hi-def TV but it sure as hell fried the card. I've only had it for a few days though so I'm hoping New Egg will replace it.

I have a similar system except I have 2 GBs of that XMS Corsair RAM that HardOCP recommended in their $1500 upgrade guide (and my processor is a 4000+ with San Diego). I have zero hitching BF2 and run it 1600x1200 maxed out. Since it's not a heat issue apparently, it seems like it has to be...

I have to agree with DeathBOB. I broke down Saturday, and even with all the negative posts, I bought the game after enjoying the demo for a few hours Friday night. The retail game is lots of fun and I haven't run into any bugs yet. I have a super duper system (7800bfg, 4000+, 2gbram, etc) so...

OK, I put together my new PC last nite...it's basically the PC in the $1500 Upgrade guide from here at HardOCP. 4000+ AMD 64 (FX-53), 2 GB XMS Corsair, 2 120GB Western Digital SATA drives, Audigy 2 zs, BFG 7800 GTX OC 256MB, and good case and mobo. It's runs freaking fantastic! Doom 3, EQ2...

I helped a friend run a game place like that for about a year and 1/2 before it went under. You'll find that you'll get a steady flow of kids and young adults but it'll always be the same people and once they get tired of you then it'll be almost impossible to get new customers (that all...

I gotta say I loved AlienTC for the original Doom. The one that got Foxed. The original Foxed mod actually. The entire first level was completely empty of monsters. But you didn't know that until you finished the level. The entire time you were on the edge of your seat. It had voice clips...

Overall benchmarks only matter to me when they are in direct comparison to other cards that are available. Showing me that Doom 3 gets 67 fps on a certain card doesn't mean anything to me by itself. Reviews like that don't mean anything to me. Now showing me that Doom 3 gets 67fps on Card A...

This will be the first Quakecon in all 10 years that I won't be attending for the whole time (Wednesday - Sunday). I'm very sad. I'll probably only be able to go on Saturday. Hoping to make it to Carmack's speech and the HardOCP event (those are so freaking cool) and look at all the booths.

I probably played this map more at LAN parties back in the day than any other map.

I like the Honorable kills. So far I haven't seen a system for Dishonorable kills that would be fair though. Lowbie attacks high - That would allow for honorable kill on both sides and no dishonorable kills. That sounds ok. High attacks Lowbie - Most people are saying this should be a...

Definitely get Painkiller. Great hectic game, better than I was expecting graphics, and fun boss fights.

Why don't you just ask one of the guys that made The 7th Guest? Didn't Graham Devine work on that one back in the day? He was at id for a couple of years. Find out where he is at and ask him how the sound was done. Same for the other games...worth a shot at least :)

http://www.wired.com/news/games/0,2101,67088,00.html?tw=wn_tophead_2 That's a review from Wired. They hated it too. It truly does suck. I always feel bad for developers that have to toil away to create something that in the end just sucks.

Do not pay for this game ever. It's like City of Heroes without the cool character creator. It's like City of Heroes but with more repition. It's like City of Heroes without the fun combat. It's like City of Heroes without the fun missions. It's like City of Heroes without the fun. Can you...

The last names of the 3 bankers in Stormwind are Olivia, Newton, and John respectively. There is a named panther you have to kill in Stranglethorn Vale whose name is very close to Bagheera (it's like ba' gira or something) which is the panther from The Jungle Book. There are so many pop...

For the hardcore gamers back in the day there was Blues, Redwood, sCary, and then VoodooExteme. Voodoo always had a ton of news with great attitude. It was my 5 or 6 time daily stop until Billy left. He was one of the greats in that world of games and game news. Can't believe he passed at...

I bought one a couple of months back. Using it is the only way I can play games like Halo 2 on the Xbox. It's not as good as using a mouse and keyboard with a PC game but it's 10 times better than using the controller on the Xbox with 1st person games. The turning can be a little slow but...

Here's my 35 Dwarf Paladin named Gartok. So far having lots of fun.
