I'd be willing to give it a try. I don't tend to stick with a given streaming service forever, instead choosing to switch between them depending on what I want to watch. Low (non-existent?) switching costs are great.
Which brands have you had die on you? I have an LG blu-ray burner in my machine, but honestly, the main reason its held up may simply be because I hardly use it.
Looks good, and thank you for posting. I hadn't looked into the X series for a few years. X:BTF and X2 were the ones I spent the most time with. I took a long break from the series after tinkering around in X3 some before kinda burning out (played the previous games too much perhaps). Looks like...
I'm a big fan of DIscord for voice comms in various games, especially for its sound quality, ease of use, and well, the fact that it's free for now. I'll admit, this move surprises me, but I do like competition, so we'll see what happens.
Probably the strategy games like:
Master of Magic (uncountable at this point)
Master of Orion 1 and 2 (pretty much the same)
Alpha Centauri (Probably 1 playthrough for each of the main game factions and a few expansion pack factions. Half a dozen playthroughs maybe.
Sword of the Stars complete...
Well, finding myself bored and curious, and going off the 8 bit ghostbusters theme song, I found it. It's ghostbusters for the NES, and hot damn, the ending is bad:
Clearly, the Commodore 64 version was the way to go for 80s ghostbusters games.
But anyways, I'll throw in Fallout: New Vegas -...
A fair bet that it's false positive. I used Avira for a few years, and it had a nasty habit of reporting many false positives. It would even block Micrsoft's media creation tool for making a Windows 10 bootable usb drive. I'd like to hope they fixed that, and I'm sure they did, but that was the...
It did, due to some old licenses expiring IIRC. If you wanted it still, someone in the reviews for this confirmed that the provided steam codes still register just fine as of August 2018.
Looking over the list, I'm impressed with the CM Hyper 212 evo for its price. I think I'm using the slightly older CM 212 plus, instead of the evo, and though my overclock is mild to moderate (4.2ghz on 3770k), it has never let me down. I'll have to look through the list again and see if...
15 years is a long time. The real question isn't comparing the new hd6xx vs the 15 year old hd600, but the new hd6xx vs the latest hd600/650. Could be the build quality overall has changed or perhaps the build on the hd6xx is a bit cheaper than the latest hd600/650 models. Couldn't say, as I...
Ah, the good old days. Gabriel Knight 1 might have been my favorite. I'll give honorable mentions to King's Quest 5 (the VGA graphics were great at the time) and the cd-rom version of Loom - they put their creativity hats on for that one.
Reasonably common for sure. A Chinese H1B plead guilty to stealing MRI related trade secrets from GE back in 2014 - with the intention of returning to China and joining a Chinese firm that competes in the MRI and imaging field...
Yep. I just checked my old Asus Z77 deluxe. First BIOS available: 3/2012. Final BIOS available: 9/2013. About a year and a half of support. That Asrock has a miracle bios team. For fun, I checked some of their Z77 Extreme boards (11 and 6), and both had beta 2018 microcode bios updates. Incredible.
Getting thousands of uncorrectables in a 24 hour period consistently, along with the reboot issues you're having, would lead me to investigate further. I'd give your ISP a call. I had a similar issue myself a few years ago, and, once the repair work was done, I would generally see only a few...
Unpatched release version of Fallout 2. I used to study for exams between area loads. The patches helped quite a bit, though.
Also, Emperor of the Fading Suns- mostly the time between turns.
They do seem to have a little problem with criticism over at Tesla. They even sued the BBC and Top Gear (judge threw out the case), and Musk referred to Top Gear as "completely phony". A few years later, Musk had a beef with the NY Times over a review they did on a Model S...
I think my last try with a PC gaming subscription was GameTap way back when. Cool for a while, but for the gaming time I have available, better to wait for steam/gog sales and humble bundles - then just buy cheap.
