    If you play Counter-Strike, give a [CoFR] Pub server a try!

    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

    Autographed Movie Posters - Anyone have them/collect them/buy them off ebay?

    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...

    Anyone know where I can get hi-res DTS/DD/THX logos?

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

    Anyone know where I can get hi-res DTS/DD/THX logos?

    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...

    Xbox LAN party pic

    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...

    XBox vs. PS2 on Technical merits

    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!

    XBox vs. PS2 on Technical merits

    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...

    XBox vs. PS2 on Technical merits

    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.

    XBox vs. PS2 on Technical merits

    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...

    XBox vs. PS2 on Technical merits

    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...

    Restocking Keeps Xbox Rockin! Another spin on current sales numbers

    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...

    This is what Halo looks like on an HDTV (47") 16:9

    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...

    This is what Halo looks like on an HDTV (47") 16:9

    I've been looking at all these threads, and some people have ashed if it's safe t play on an RPTV, what kind of performance do you get w/ the HD pack, and what does it look like on an 16:9 TV. I took some pictures, and as always, pictures don't do it justice. But I think they came out fairly...

    Xbox ProLogic Output Only?

    Well, it could be a few things: Do you have the optical input activated and assigned to a button on your receiver? Read the manual of your amp and make sure you're doing all you need to on that end...

    To those with wives / girlfriends...

    My girlfriend of 5 years is great about it! I just make sure to balance out my gaming time, and time with her. Most times when she gives me a hard time, she's just ribbing me, but when I can tell she's serious about it, I'll immediatly do something special for her. She's really gotten into...

    X-Box loses another exclusive

    Since when is Shrek an XBOX exlusive? If you mean where it says "ONLY ON XBOX", that's true.. because it's only avalable on Xbox! I might be mistaken, but I don't ever remember seeing that it was only going to be for Xbox. mainly because it's Shrek, and that has a huge liscensing...

    How Many here use RPTV's?

    I finally got to see some pics of someone playing halo on a Widescreen HDTV just like mine... Droool! This is killing! Why won't my GF let me have that thing already!?!? She's a sadist, that's why...

    Anyone seen X-Box's on the shelves anywhere today?

    I don't know if it means anthing, but the one I picked up last saturday (22nd I think) had the sticker on the little view window that said "Manufactured 11-14-01" That says to me that they are shoveling it out the door and into stores as fast as they can. I'm sure it helps to have a...

    How does that work? The reason there is an increased demand is because IT'S $49!!!

    Gaming on PC vs. consoles

    Hey, if you can afford both, just get both. I happen to have alot of expensive hobbies, including Home theater and PCs. To say to someone "Man, spending $3K on a system is stupid" or anything along those lines is just a stupid, shallow comment. Why would someone say this? Because: 1.)...

    I would KILL for a picture of HALO playing on a widescreen HDTV! My GF won't let me touch my XBOX till Xmas, and it's killing me! Someone has gotta post a pic!

    Metal Gear Solid X-Cancelled?

    I SERIOUSLY doubt that MGS-X has been cancelled. I can Guarantee that you won't hear a peep out of Konami about it till after the holidays. It would be professional suicide for them to start talking about what they will do to it for the XBOX. Stealing the PS2's holiday thunder is NOT...

    Gaming on PC vs. consoles

    Question: A 5.1 EAX card in a pc will do real time IN GAME 5.1? I didn't know that they were doing pC games in 5.1... I never picked up a 5.1 card, because I thought that was for people who watch DVDs on their PC. If games on the PC are doing in-game 5.1, I'll definately have to look into...

    Gaming on PC vs. consoles

    Well, for the gaming industry, the money is in consoles. If you make a game for a console, you will sell more than if it were on a PC. It's just really hard to tel, because PC gaming companies are dropping like flies. i'm sure it helped Bungie decide to bring Halo out on a console. I would...
