    System Shock Pre-Alpha Demo now up on Steam and GOG.

    It's approaching the last few days of the KickStarter (it's funded, but there are some really cool stretch goals yet to be reached), so if you haven't already, try out the demo and if you like it, back if you can! =) Would link but KS links aren't allowed - easily findable tho'!

    System Shock Pre-Alpha Demo now up on Steam and GOG.

    Very enjoyable interview - I like that they seem very passionate, but with a clear idea of what they want to do and staying realistic instead of promising things they don't think they can commit to right now (like VR).

    System Shock Pre-Alpha Demo now up on Steam and GOG.

    No problem, ControlD! I remember a few years back looking into it and getting super depressed because it really seemed System Shock was lost in a limbo between EA and that insurance company and there'd never be another. So glad that didn't turn out to be the case and the license is in hands...

    System Shock Pre-Alpha Demo now up on Steam and GOG.

    This has been funded by the way, but still a lot of stretch goals (some of which are hidden) to go!

    System Shock Pre-Alpha Demo now up on Steam and GOG.

    ControlD, I believe that's outdated information. EA let the System Shock license lapse (thank the maker!) after a dispute with the other IP property owner, Meadowbrook Insurance, a subsidiary of Star Insurance, and Nightdive swooped in and acquired it (I believe they have everything now). =)...

    System Shock Pre-Alpha Demo now up on Steam and GOG.

    Thought I'd chime in and say as a fan of the original I played the demo and really enjoyed it; I'm excited to back this one. The Kickstarter for this game is now running (but can't be linked here) if anyone wants to back - it's doing pretty well, but it'd be nice to hit some stretch goals. Re...

    System Shock (Remaster) Kickstarter/Demo

    Hey all, In case people aren't aware, 1994's System Shock is being remade in a modern engine. It's going to have the feel/story (roughly) from the original, but update and enhance several elements and possibly add some new features/areas/etc. It'll support PC and XBOX One at launch, and...

    How bad a no-no is it to run a lower resolution on a monitor these days?

    Cool thanks all! Aspect ratio's perfect at 1920x1080 (same as that of native's 1920x1440) and I really, truly can't notice any perceptible blurriness issues after using it this way for a few days (versus a few weeks using it at native), so I think I'll stick with this and game at native when...

    How bad a no-no is it to run a lower resolution on a monitor these days?

    I'm honestly shocked I don't see more of a difference than I do, but it really seems great to me (and like I said I can still take advantage of the higher res in games). I just think the desktop in general is much more natural in an actual resolution than trying to force programs (some clearly...

    How bad a no-no is it to run a lower resolution on a monitor these days?

    Interesting point re Apple. I dunno any other software scaling option unless I'm missing something. Games I'm fine running at native, as my video card/processor can handle it usually, and it doesn't distort things. I'm mainly speaking of general Windows usage here, only because of the...

    How bad a no-no is it to run a lower resolution on a monitor these days?

    Hey all, Proud owner of a Dell U2713HM monitor, and overall I love it. Big improvement over my last TN monitor. That said, it's native setting is 2560x1440, which I find too big without UI modifications. I've been running it like that for weeks and used Windows 7's built in...

    Program to create virtual folder/drive eliminating subdirectories?

    Hey all, Hope the title to this isn't too confusing as I'm having trouble explaining exactly what I want to do, but here goes my best effort, and I'm hoping there's a program out there that can do it. I have a specialized program that can only see files in a pointable main...

    Quick Router Question - DLink DIR-855 QoS Settings & WISH Prioritizers

    Hey all, So working on optimizing router settings, and I have a couple of questions that puzzle me a bit, and I can't seem to find good answers. 1.) In the QoS section of my router, there's a section to specify Automatic Detection of Connection Type, or the Connection Type itself. Then...

    Upgrade Advice - GTX 280 Now; Want Moderate Imrpovement + Cooler

    Just an update the 560ti is in and working great! This card is not as long as my 280, as well as much quieter and MUCH cooler - I ran the same test (actually, longer) with Arkham (max settings, including physics; settled on 4X MSAA as it can do higher easily, but I like smooth + sharp, and 4X...

    Upgrade Advice - GTX 280 Now; Want Moderate Imrpovement + Cooler

    Thanks for the continued great feedback! Gotcha about high res and Radeons having the edge. Re the 280 GTX, I realize heat isn't the only factor, and you're right - ideally it should be running fine at 82C, but it's not for whatever reason. If I crank the fan all the way up, it eliminates...

    Upgrade Advice - GTX 280 Now; Want Moderate Imrpovement + Cooler

    So a few clarifications! I just realized somehow, I listed my processor as 2.6 GHz - it's in fact a quad core 3.2 GHz (no idea how I managed that one, but I think my old Pentium D was a 2.6 and I got lost in time). So I'll see a bit more benefit than most of these posts take into account...

    Upgrade Advice - GTX 280 Now; Want Moderate Imrpovement + Cooler

    Fair points about PhysX, and you're probably right, the marketing probably did get me. I absolutely acknowledge the 6870 (and 5870 as well) are the most bang for the buck right now, and I'm not an nVidia fan boy or anything; if none of the games I wanted to play used PhysX, it would have been a...

    Upgrade Advice - GTX 280 Now; Want Moderate Imrpovement + Cooler

    Thanks again for all the great feedback! (Just FYI, gaming resolution is 1920 x 1200). I researched most of the suggestions and it came down to between the Radeon HD6870 and the GeForce 560Ti (which I started looking at a bit later in the game), both within about $50 of each other for the...

    Upgrade Advice - GTX 280 Now; Want Moderate Imrpovement + Cooler

    Thanks for the feedback - I'll take a look at the 5870's and 6870's (and possibly the 6950, and a few of the other suggestions, but the heat comment concerns me - I should be okay power wise even with a beefier card, but I'd prefer to stick lower if possible). As discussed, since my processor...

    Upgrade Advice - GTX 280 Now; Want Moderate Imrpovement + Cooler

    Hey all, Running a quad-core 3.2 GHz 4 GB RAM (X48 chipset) gaming rig I built in October of 2008. When I built it, I used a (PCIe) eVGA GTX 280 card - factory OC'd a bit. Card's performed fairly well, but then, and now, I've had some heat issues running it at stock in certain games. If I...

    PC Slow After PSU Replacement (Original Blown)

    Rifterut, thanks much for the reply. Yeah, the PSU that blew wasn't even branded... Ouch - sounds like the prognosis isn't looking good. Well, I'll see what I can figure out and if this thing's salvageable. I'm sure I can at least figure out if it's the HDD or something else - not sure I...

    PC Slow After PSU Replacement (Original Blown)

    Hey all, So I've got a friend who's computer recently died with a blown PSU (smelled like burnt cat - not good). We replaced the PSU with an inexpensive but a decent 500W model (she was on a no-name 480W model), and the system seems to have power fine, but its *incredibly* slow now for an...

    Help - Laptop Charging Issues

    Hi all, Have an issue that's puzzling me. Working on a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop with a nasty virus issue. Had it since yesterday and just noticed today the battery is draining and not charging back up. (BIOS agrees, so it shouldn't be related to the virus). Power is getting to the...

    Considering Giving Norton a Try - Trend Micro User Now

    That's cool, zeruty - just making sure. lol. Re Antivir, I took a look and it looks like a pretty cool product. As I said, I haven't heard of it previous to this. So I'll definitely check it out and read up on it some more.

    Considering Giving Norton a Try - Trend Micro User Now

    Zeruty, I have absolutely no vested interest in Trend Micro, nor do I/have I worked for them. I've used several antivirus programs over the years, most notably Norton, McAfee, and Trend Micro. Trend Micro simply has given me the least problems of the three. I haven't tried AVG, NOD32, or...

    Considering Giving Norton a Try - Trend Micro User Now

    Thanks for the feedback, guys. I have close to a month to figure out where to go from here. I have to say after the initial promising performance, I'm pretty disappointed that Norton let me down. I rarely give companies second chances when a product really disappoints...and I did in...

    Considering Giving Norton a Try - Trend Micro User Now

    Well guys, I have some bad news. Norton's out of my system and I'm back with Trend Micro (just trial at the moment), which sucks because I paid for a year of Norton Gaming Edition. I really like it, but I can't forgive the problems I've been having with it. So here's where Norton went wrong...

    Considering Giving Norton a Try - Trend Micro User Now

    One other nice touch. Norton does what is called background scanning when the computer is idle In other words, when you haven't used your computer for 10 minutes (which happens a lot for me as I need mine up for work but am not always at it), it quietly scans in the background, the only...

    Considering Giving Norton a Try - Trend Micro User Now

    Just a quick update - after almost a week with Norton 2009 Gaming Edition, it's a definite keeper for me. I love how few resources it takes, I love the bursts where it updates frequently (and completely non-intrusively), the interface is nice and simple, etc. Really don't have much...

    Best antivirus for gaming?

    +1 for Norton 2009 Gaming Edition I've only been using it for a few days, but switched from PC-Cillin, and Norton's using much fewer resources even in normal mode than PC-Cillin did. It's got a special Gaming Mode that you can enable on demand (for a set amount of time...up to 6 hours) that...

    Considering Giving Norton a Try - Trend Micro User Now

    Cool. I disabled most of it with Trend Micro but just realized part of it was still enabled, so went ahead and completely disabled Windows Defender. Even before that, though, I have to say my rig is a bit snappier with Norton - I can actually tell a difference. It also updates much more...

    Considering Giving Norton a Try - Trend Micro User Now

    One more quick question while I'm at it. I feel if I have good Antivirus + Antispyware (Norton), it should be safe to completely disable Windows Defender (Vista 64). Yes? Thanks!

    Considering Giving Norton a Try - Trend Micro User Now

    Wow! I'm legitimately surprised by the negative reviews of Trend 2009. I've had good luck with it, but beyond that, at the time (years ago) it was reviewed really well. I guess all the suites change and change over the years. Kind of sad to see it doesn't do a good job anymore. But, I'm...

    Considering Giving Norton a Try - Trend Micro User Now

    Hi all, After having some not-so-great experiences with Norton and McAfee years ago (bloated, slow, let things through, etc., etc., etc.), for the last few years I've been using Trend Micro Anti-Virus + Antispyware. I've been quite happy with it and have no real complaints - it does just...

    Dead Laptop Drive Options

    Well, set my freezer colder and that *almost* worked. Not quite (almost sounded like it was reading and identifies better). (May try that one more time in my desktop.) Can't really logistically do the "still in the freezer" drive idea at the moment, though it's a great one. Also tried...

    Dead Laptop Drive Options

    Hey all, I mainly do software troubleshooting of computers in my area with some hardware work. I've got a laptop with a dead hard drive (SATA). Clicks loudly when it tries to access, which I think means a head problem. I've tried the freezing trick (in a static-proof bag, then a...
