    Sleep is Death is now pay what you want (min $1.75)

    http://sleepisdeath.net/ Sleep is Death is now pay what you want, well almost, with a minimum charge of $1.75 to pay transaction and bandwidth fees. I just picked up my copy. If I really like it, I'll pay/donate some more. It is a 2 player only game. One player is like the "DM", the other...

    Old PC game packages.... what to do?

    It is possible to save a lot of room by flat collapsing all your boxes and separately storing big cd jewel cases. Semi related question - do you all keep patches for all your games on physical media too? For games that don't have DRM/remote authentication I'm starting to collect the patches...

    Final Fantasy XIII

    Well, it will probably take you a long time to level up if to finish all the missions first.. There is a level cap in place too until you finish the game. There may be a few missions unavailable too. I think its generally recommended to finish the story first, then go back and do the missions.

    Final Fantasy XIII

    Persona's 4 was an awesome game, but the battle mechanics were so painfully "tired"! The only reason why I tolerated the grind, boring and tedious turn based battles, and the aggravation of save points spread out relatively far, is because the rest of the game was just so awesome. If...

    Heavy Rain

    Ethan has serious mental problems and he's aware of it. I didn't think it was too far of a stretch for him to think he was the origami killer.. Also, when I played, I don't remember my Ethan character getting caught by the police. Two times were close, but he got away both times.

    Final Fantasy XIII

    I actually liked the characters in this one and I thought the voice acting wasn't bad at all. Hope grew up towards the end(his speeches reminded me of Linus from Peanuts), and Vanille was grating at first, but it was all a show ( a really annoying one lol). They all changed and grew in a...

    Adobe Flash CS4 Pro - best legal place to buy?

    I forgot about the suites. It's more money, but it is easier to argue its more of a value. BTW, rumor has it version CS5 will be released sometime in April. For Flash, CS5 supposedly has the ability to build Apple apps! http://www.adobe.com/devnet/logged_in/abansod_iphone.html

    Adobe Flash CS4 Pro - best legal place to buy?

    So I'm interested in getting Flash CS4 Pro. I know there is a 30 day demo you can get from Adobe themselves. Does anyone have experience/suggestion of the best place to LEGALLY buy a single user license for PC? It cannot be academic, since I may in the future release work off of it. (plus...

    PSN network issues - can't play in ofline mode either

    I just glanced through another thread on another site,and someone mentioned it may be a "fat" firmware issue, not necessarily a PSN issue. Someone claimed their "fat" ps3 wasn't connected to the internet and it still had the problem today. That might make sense, the firmware may have a...

    Forget what *might* be, what do you *want* to be in the next gen?

    No more loading screens in the new engines - have everything stream loaded while you are playing... or at the very least, cleverly hide them (Uncharted for example) . Seem-less complex indoor and complex outdoor environments. GTA, and every other FPS, I'm looking at you on the next interation...

    Well, if I remember, there is this one thing locked away in a chest for a side quest. (I don't want to give too much away.) That's the only time I remember lock picking ever being really useful.

    New Zune HD Details...

    Yes. I think Zune itself should replace windows media player. The library management actually works, and the info it grabs for your media is awesome, and actually looks nice.. I'm really liking Zune Pass. The 10 song credits per month really won me over. I'm actually stunned how great...

    Persona 3 and 4 Fan Club Thread!!

    I think I like the flow of the story, characters and interaction of Persona 4 slightly better, but I thought the bery last ending of Persona 3 was executed better. The concept of "persona" is subtly different between the two. HOWEVER, To get the "true" ending of Persona 4, was hilarious in the...

    Vista refuses to remember my aero visual effects settings

    Solved! Login with my normal user account(non admin) Hit start, search on SystemPropertiesPerformance and run that. The interesting part is, UAC DOES NOT prompt you to switch over to your admin account if you do it this way. I turned off animate min max, and now the setting sticks when I...

    Vista refuses to remember my aero visual effects settings

    Yea, but its still not applying to my normal user account.. I've set them (before by logging in as admin through UAC) and had it stick for my normal user account and my admin account. Its just recently I noticed they don't stick anymore for my user account. I can't pinpoint exactly when though...

    Vista refuses to remember my aero visual effects settings

    long story short, the new account behaves the same way. Did SP2 change the behavior of the advanced settings a normal user can change? I notice when I go to system -> advanced system settings it makes me go as admin, to make the settings.. I'm wondering if its actually saving the settings...

    Vista refuses to remember my aero visual effects settings

    well, it was happening before the BSOD on uninstalling the driver.... I tried to uninstall the driver thinking that was the last thing I remember doing before my profiles got screwed up. So, any suggestions on the best way to repair my user profile? Or am I just better of creating another user...

    I couldn't get into the demo.. Played the first mission singleplayer.. The voice acting was terrible. Ran around with the SAW, mowed a bunch of AI down, hid around a busy area that the horrible sounding teammates were telling me., waited till they started running around again, mowed more AI...

    Vista refuses to remember my aero visual effects settings

    I just noticed, Vista x64 home premium stopped remembering my aero visual effect settings. I like to disable "animate windows when min and maximizing".. I can still turn it off, but when I logoff, and log back on, its reset to enabled again! only thing i can think of are perhaps these new...

    Street Fighter IV PC Benchmark Tool Released

    So if you have software outputting at a constant 60 frames per second and a display refreshing at 60 hz (60 times a second) With VSYNC OFF, you can still run into a timing scenario where the software is calling dumping new frame image into the draw buffer before the display is done...

    Street Fighter IV PC Benchmark Tool Released

    So if i understand it says VSYNC ON will cause a 1/60th delay because its waiting for the monitor to finish redrawing before it flips the buffers. But if VSYNC is OFF, that means you'll be getting only half screen refresh's if the monitor's not ready drawing the previous one. I can't stand...

    Street Fighter 4 PC: The Controller Debate

    I emailed them to confirm the fighting stick 3 was really in stock, the guy emailed me back within like 10 mins saying he was staring at two of them. I ordered,and it arrived at my house.. Sooooo, thats my story. :)

    I kind of hate to ask this question, but what kind of DRM and/or copy protection is used in the US DVD retail release and the Steam version(apart from Steam itself) of Arma 2? Does it have online authentication for single player? Do you need to be authenticated for LAN games?

    Street Fighter IV PC Benchmark Tool Released

    For a game like Street Fighter 4 or any fighting game, when you play the actual game, you'll want to turn VSYNC ON with triple buffering OFF and 0 frame ahead rendering. You'll also want to pick a setting that ensure that your absolute minimum frame rate is 60 fps. Too bad that benchmark only...

    Photorealistic graphics on PC

    Oh no question that games like ArmA are definitely a step in the right direction. So in ArmaA can you like kick down, shoot down, blow up stuff like fences and walls and pile the debris around somewhere else? Can you smash windows, break down, shoot apart, or blow up doors of houses...

    Photorealistic graphics on PC

    I'm more for a large complex environment with number of complex interactable objects and NPCs with advanced AI seamlessly loading, instead of a "photo realistic" hallway with two boxes, one braindead NPC, and a soda can to kick around.

    FFVII on the PSN!

    Ditto. I rushed through it and couldn't finish the last battle, and was too lazy to back track all the way back.. Watched the ending on my friend's save instead.. I'm going to load this on my PSP, so when I get interrupted, I can just "sleep" my PSP.

    The Sims 3(June 09)

    I reinstalled EA Downloader, and now it seems to work.. Although, it was annoying that even though I installed it on another drive, it still defaulted to set the "cache" to my C drive. It seems to run okay on my 8800GTS (640 meg ver) at 1680x1050 with low antialiasing, and all the other...

    The Sims 3(June 09)

    I bought the retail version. On my vista x64 machine, right at the end of the install, I allowed it to install EA Downloader.. Ugh. I knew I shouldn't have. I was curious what it was, so I double clicked it.. nothing.. I then tried to kill the process thorugh task manager.. nothing...

    What all would my buddy need for a tf2 server?

    Treat it like running a business. Sit down and envision and plan everything first. Technically building a server and getting it up and running are the easy parts. Making it stand out from the crowd, attracting regulars, and finding good and fair admins that play alot are the hard parts. You...

    I think my Gateway FPD2185W is about to die

    After a few years with this FPD2185W, I think its about to die.. I just got off playing a bunch of hours on my xbox 360 on it (with VGA), and turned it off for a few seconds, then flipped it back on when I booted my computer. Now it makes this aweful screeching noise. Its not the same...

    GTA IV DRM Revealed..

    jmicron controller causing hangs, new drivers seem to help?
