Heh, the only thing we bn for is Cheating, cursing/racial slurs, and teamkilling/teamwounding.

Yeah, CS is still free, and there are fixes for the problems, live the voicecomms issue. For the voicecomm issue, change the CS shortcut to this: C:SIERRAHalf-Lifehl.exe -console -game cstrike +voice_dsound 1

If you enjoy playing on fun, full servers with people who like to have a good time, try one of the [CoFR] pub servers. We are a large community (500+) of older, mature gamers. We are always adminning our servers, and kick/ban cheaters and kids who can't behave themselves. Also, check out our...

I have also avoided "autographed" stuff. Really, what are the chances that there are 10 companies (the large ones are located in FLORIDA???) that engage stars enough to keem multiples in stock. "Here Mr. Pitt, could you sign this one? And this one? and this...and this..." That, and who...

You really need a Program like Photoshop or Jasc's PSP7. This will allow you to rasterize the format.

Everywhere I look, I can only find low res, small pics. Does anyone know where I can find larger ones? I have an Idea for my new HT room... Thanks for any help! Butch :D **edit: I just realized that this may be considered "Bootlegging" or infringement, but I'm not sure. I am a graphic...

yeah, that PC has loads of inputs and outputs, including rca and S-video...

Well, last Friday, some friends and I hooked up 2 Xboxen, one to a 47" widescreen HDTV, and one to a 27" 800x600 computer monitor. It worked really well, as the larger had a split screen, and the other had the 27" all to itself. It was really cool to also have a deathmatch where each person...

I also think that it's annoying how magazines and sites never get farther than "It sounds AMAZING" and "It looks sharp"... EXPOUND, people! That's what you're paid for!

I think, with the advent of the new hardware, that there WILL be epic landscapes in racing games. personally, I would LOVE to see the following in a great race game, complete with cops and traffic systems, and where rendering doesn't stop at the skybox: Yellowstone/Yosimite national park...

I think racing games games benefit ALOT from great graphics and high resolution. the point of a racing game is to feel like you ARE there. With faster hardware, you can have higher res textures, more polygons, bump-mapping, ect.

This is the test Drive series, in the same bloodline as the previous games, where if you smack into a police roadblock doin 105 in a sportscar that weighs 90 pounds wet, the car will go into the air. I personally like a wild wide in a racing game, where if you bang and flip the car, it affects...

As an example, they are suping up the new "TEST DRIVE" game much more for the XBOX than the PS@ version. Here is a clip from Gamespot.com when they were shown the latest build... This is what I was hoping for. Game makers are not sitting by and being content with just the same game ported to...

Why do you all constantly go back and forth about this? What is it to you that Console X or Console Y sold more last week? Are you seeing any of that money? To me, it just sounds like a slick way to perpetuate the fanboy BS. And don't tell me you're interested in sales trends... It doesn't...

Things in 4:3 look strange to me anyway now :D I haven't had it affect my gaming, as I just aim and shoot. Since there is no depth perception, I don't find trying to judge distance to be a problem. But I can't WAIT to see an XBOX game in 16:9 and 720p...
