    Question about Heatware

    So I just had a FS transaction fall thru primarily because I don't have Heatware (I'm a longtime [H] member but I just don't buy that much used hardware). Coincidentally, I'm the creator of Glowrep (glowrep.com) -- a service similar to Heatware that actually links a person with their various...

    Free Mass Effect 2 code

    Please note: this is ME II, not ME III. Personally, I think II is the best of the series. First person to respond here gets it. Also, activates on origin.

    Cherry Brown vs. Illuminated

    I know this is probably sacrilegious, but I wasn't super happy with my $130 mechanical cherry brown keyboard and I replaced it with a Logitech Illuminated K740. It's amazing. Anyone else go back to using non-mech keyboards? I think the biggest difference is the low profile keys. I...

    GTX 770 vs. GTX 780 for 1440p

    After doing quite a bit of research on whether to go with a 770 or 780 to power my new 1440p monitor, I'm still on the fence. I did purchase a 770 but I'm having second thoughts. I gather that beyond a not-insignificant increase in raw processing power, the major difference would only come...

    what to do about hackers in bc2?

    So I usually hate it when someone calls someone else out for hacking, but tonight I ran into a real 'hacker'. The player's name is [-10.0]Destiny.Calling and we were 'playing' on Team69er Hale Los Angeles (server). The guy was racking up 60 or 70 kills to 2 or 3 deaths in the matter of a few...

    Intel x25-m 120gb vs. Crucial C300 128gb

    So I'm about to take the plunge and purchase my first SSD. I have done a bit of research and been through the discussions here on [H] and elsewhere. I have determined that the two units in the title, the X-25m and the C300, are my finalists. My understanding is that the C300 will be faster...

    PC Leasing

    I was wondering if any of you have ever tried leasing a home gaming pc? Not sure if any companies offer it, but it just seems like more people would choose to lease high end PCs rather than buying outright. Although I am an avid PC gamer, the upgrade cycle has worn me down over the years. I...

    Starcraft 2 Strategy Guide Question

    Anyone have any experience with unofficial strategy guides (specifically, Shokz)? I am looking to up my game in SC2 and I was wondering if these guides were a good place to start. Normally I don't go this route, but it seems like a good value considering you get a unlimited subscription to the...

    Considering what to upgrade (again)

    I currently have: E6600 OC'd to 3.3 ghz EVGA 680i 2x 8800GT 512 MB SLI 4gb OCZ Reaper DDR2 1066 I am considering upgrading this system after several years, and I am looking at the new GTX 460s for a relatively cheap way to do it. I am a little concerned, though, that given the 8800GT...

    Empire: Total War - worth $14?

    It's on sale and I'm not sure if I should pick it up. There seems to be very mixed reviews (despite the critical acclaim upon release) by those that love the series. I've never been a huge 4Xer... so I just don't know if I should drop the loot. wot do u all think?

    Problem with HD picture quality on Time Warner cable

    I just bought a new Panasonic Viera G15 and I have been very disappointed by the HD picture coming through the cable box. My other HDMI input looks great (PS3), but the HD picture quality via the cable box looks like upconverted SD. I have changed the settings on the box to make sure it is...

    PSP Thoughts

    I'm headed out of town for a few weeks and noticed that the PSN Store now sells a bunch of classic PSOne games that you can play on the PSP, with the biggest standout being FF7. In addition, it looks like the PSP's library has developed quite nicely with lots of good core titles. I am...

    It happened

    Last night after the Laker game I needed to blow off some steam.. I loaded up my Call of Duty 5 (bought during last weekend's Steam sale) and as I was playing the Russian portion of the campaign, a significant milestone in my gaming life occured. I got tired of killing Nazis. I know what...

    Mouse issues

    I have been using a G5 Rev 1 for the past few years. I've had a bit of buyers remorse since I first bought it, as the mouse just isnt that comfortable to me. Plus, the scroll wheel is a total joke, both in the scroll ability itself and the firmness of the button (its more resistant than your...

    Demigod Rocks

    Just wanted to let everyone know that a patch was released for Demigod that fixes many of the issues that plagued the launch. For those of you holding off because of some of the negative (and in my opinion, premature) reviews, you should definitely go buy the game. The game appears...

    Cyrus - DOW2 - minor spoilers

    Does anyone else feel that Cyrus in DOW2 is somehwat out of place in the mechanics of the game? I played with him for a bit at the beginning, and while I understand his appeal in missions which require "subtlety", he just became a hindrance to an effective war-fighting strategy in the long-run...

    halo wars - editors choice??

    i thought editors choice awards were generally reserved for games that garnered scores of 9 or above (or an equivalent). does this seem strange to anyone else? I know ign can do whatever they like, but this feels canned. http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/857/857436.html

    oblivion question that has been bugging me (spoilers)

    I played oblivion for awhile after release, and then something happened that really turned me off the game. When it became clear that you needed to close all of the gates and that that was going to take awhile, i completely lost interest. It almost seemed like the bread and butter of the...

    Logitech Illuminated Keyboard

    Sick of Carebear MMOs

    Is anyone sick of playing MMOs that are either entirely PvE or have PvP that is devoid of consequences? I know Darkfall is coming out but my guess is that game is going to be another huge disappointment. RvR in games like WAR create a communal penalty system for failure in PvP that just...

    Left 4 Dead - 360 or PC?

    I'm an avid PC Gamer but the multiplayer coop is a pretty compelling reason for me to buy this game for the 360 (play with roommate / visiting friends). The other thing to consider - price is $44.95 on Steam for PC (no tax) vs. $59.99 on 360 w/ additional tax. What do you guys think?

    8800gt 512 Purchase

    I bought an EVGA 8800GT 512mb SSC on release about a year ago. Normally I wouldn't buy a factory overclocked unit but I sold my 8800GTS 640mb G90 on ebay and was able to basically trade straight up for the better card. Now that the 8800gt's have come down in price, which card should I SLI...
