http://www.team-gizka.org/wip.html As any PC game fan knows, the otherwise excellent Knights of the Old Republic 2 was released in an unfinished state due to scheduling restrictions (LucasArts wanted it released in time for Christmas). Interestingly, the resources for the cut content was...
I think the people in charge of the Emmys have lost their collective minds. Even if there was any reason for an award associated with TV shows to be given to a gaming console, why did they give it to the PS3 and not the Wii? http://www.gamespot.com/news/6163855...stnews;title;4 My...
Some time ago there was a thread on another forum about burning CDs and DVDs on a computer. In it, I and others noted that sometimes you will get a computer that has trouble burning either CDs or DVDs at full speed while some less powerful/slower computers are able to burn at full speed. I...
Someone got their hands on a RTM model and put it through all the usual performance tests. http://level505.com/2006/12/30/the-f...i-r600-test/1/ What's interesting is that while the R600 card does outperform nVidia's 8800, it doesn't exactly blow the doors off of it (considering how long...
Apparently, there's an email making the rounds:
Do read some of the essays at the above-linked site as it's quite funny. They even have a fakey scientific journal. :D
You'll have to click through several pages to see all of it, but trust me: it's worth it. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ashen1/...uild/intro.htm I'll have to build myself one of those one of these days. Looks really snazzy!
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ It's nice so far, but I'm not crazy about the relocation of the "close tab" button. Now instead of one close tab button, they have a separate one for each tab, which makes it more obnoxious to rapidly close a bunch of tabs in succession.
I started posting here long, long ago when DVD was still a fairly new format and I was trying to piece together something on a budget. When I first joined, I was enamored with DVD and everything about it and spent a lot of time on these forums. I'm not as big a film fan as others, but it's a...
Hiya! I was gonna post this on a gaming forum I hang out at, then I remembered this place (haven't been here in a long time, sorry, guys). You guys are generally far more knowledgeable about this sort of thing, and these boards get a heck of a lot more traffic. Anyway, I'm considering...
Forgive me if there is already a thread for this movie. Apparently, there's a movie coming out starring Tom Cruise that does to history what Hollywood often does to history. I have to imagine some of our British friends will be angry about this...
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/fakemillion1.html What really scares me about this is how common must forgery be that a moron like this could be in a position to attempt something like this?
http://www.chud.com/news/feb04/feb24cass.php3 I just caught the trailer. I didn't understand a word of it, but the images from the trailer look darned good. Sorta like a live-action anime. If anyone here understands Japanese, read the site and tell us what the heck it's about! :)
Right-click and download. This monkey is really confident and really stupid, but the result is funny enough! :) http://old.hugi.is/fyndnar/apetiger.wmv
To quote the inimitable Bugs Bunny, "Whatta maroon!" Chef Has Beef with Wife, Injures Diner This is even more bizarre than the RIAA suing customers. Speaking of the RIAA… You knew this was bound to happen
It looks like they're planning on combining books 1 and 2 into one movie. Dadgummit! The ending of book 1 is too powerful to use as some mid-movie thing. I could see combining books 2 and 3 but 1 and 2? Sacrilege! *hoists pitchfork* Burn them! Burn them all now! (Edit: forgot to include...
Only if it's funny of course, and I got a chuckle from this one: http://monsterhunter.coldfusionvideo...ivingDead.html I'm not a horror fan, but some of his insults directed at anally retentive fans certainly applies to me. :)
http://www.scwatch.net/modules.php?n...viewtopic&t=16 You know, with all the talk about intellectual property rights going around, why is it that the computer industry has the most boneheads claiming patents on obvious stuff any monkey could think up and that everyone else is already doing...

Doesn't seem like too many folks around here are into PC games, particularly those PC staples: strategy and role playing games. Is there something about home theater that makes people more inclined to indulge consoles? Perhaps because it's one more thing you can plug into your stereo? :)...
A player of Civilization III offers sagely advice to Paul Bremer on the occupation of Iraq. :) Warning: probably not as funny if you don't play Civ 3. http://www.mcsweeneys.net/links/open...aulbremer.html
