I have a G73JH from Asus that I have been gaming on for nearly two years. I play games on it nearly every day. It is an old junker compared to this rig but I won't ever go back to a desktop again. I played completed Crysis twice and Crysis Warhead once on this laptop. I'm talking good settings here too on a 1080p…

Not sure how that has any bearing on this situation in any way? The customer ordered one big Mac. The customer received two big macs and was charged for both of them. Furthermore when the customer asked for a refund on the second big Mac he was told to shut up and hit the road.

Good for him. What the hell was Microsoft thinking! You don't get to take as much money from a customer as you like as long as you give them something for it. How about if McDonalds starts charging an extra two dollars on every order and tells you "Oh don't worry about it sir, we put an extra four napkins in the…

If you have previously purchased the QuakeCon pack on Steam, they added Brink to it for free Thursday - Saturday. I bought the pack last year I think and the game is sitting in my list ready for download. A friend told me that with some packs, if they add games to it later, they show up for people who already bought…

You can't trademark a single standard English word. Bethesda cannot prevent others from using each single word in their game titles. If they tried to file this in court I suspect that the judge would threaten the attorney with professional discipline based on the frivolity of the case and obvious fact that there is no…

OK, OK. Maybe it's 95% of the time. Twenty years of dealing with the same old man who still likes to play video games like a fifteen year old probably wears on the most reasonable of women.

My wife loves a lot of reality shows. I've often asked her why there are writers in the credits at the end of the show if it's all real. I think the people who enjoy it know it's a highly modified and edited form of "reality" but they don't care. I mean the woman has a Master's Degree for goodness sake. I do like…

I have always found any form of payment for a woman to pretend to be interested in you to be very creepy. The whole man/woman interaction is based on chemistry and interest from both of them. How can one get any kind of enjoyment out of a woman who clearly is bullshitting you for a few bucks? You might as well be…

I'm sorry but I cannot wrap my mind around a beautiful petite Asian woman as a dominatrix. I can't fathom someone tying one of them up in a way that is anything other than cruel and horrible. Perhaps it's my American ideal of a Japanese woman but there you have it.

I live out in the sticks... well I live in a small Texas town (5000 people) and I have a 6Mb DSL connection. I'm pretty happy with that. My downloads from the interwebz run in the 580Kbps to 620Kbps range. When I actually measure the connection I'm getting something around 5Mb which is pretty good. DSL slows as…

Thank you all for your advice. These have all been copied and pasted into my notes so I have some places to go for study. I will go to Amazon and find the book too.

Any of my fellow readers/commentors successfully teach themselves to read and understand Japanese? Any advice for a guy who is looking at a mountain of memorization and wanting to get to the top? I'm memorizing Hiragana characters at the moment using digital flash cards on my smart phone. I also downloaded and…

I have never seen this game but I played PLENTY of games on a 486 and those graphics are jaw dropping. I never played a game on my 486/DX computer that looked that good. I can't believe I I never read about that game on AOL 1.0 for Windows 3.1. I would've played until I got tired of dying every thirty seconds. …

+1 Internets for pandafresh. That made me laugh!

I am considering and have actually begun learning Japanese this week. It seems to be an impossible task. I've begun learning the Hiragana syllabary. It appears that I must memorize over 100 things before I can even begin considering learning any actual words. I don't know how many years it would be before I could…

That's kinda of cool in a creepy sort of way.

That's right. You have to hover over the post that showed up on your profile in order to see the little "X" that appears. When you click it then you get a popup that asks what you want to hide... something like this post, all posts, this friend, or whatever.

I'm not sure if the comment was focused on whether the cut scene is pre-rendered or the fact that there are or aren't cut scenes at all. I like cut scenes. They can be overdone for sure but I expect them at the end of major sections of a game to carry the story forward. I want my games to tell a story. If the game…

Crappy was a poor word choice. Especially for this game. I don't own it and have never played it.

I agree with you. I find it odd that we are talking about a donation funded advocacy group eating $1.1 million in fees so that a state with $83.5 billion in revenue doesn't have to pay for their intentional misdeed.
