    Torchlight 2, My Impressions... (updated: 5/10/12 with Final Impressions)

    We already know the answer to question 2. The reason is because people bought this game from other sources not just steam. So in order to get everyone to play together with one friends list they made the runic account. Many people bought the game from runic directly and don't use steam.

    Upgrade my system or rebuild

    I don't think I need to go to Xeon since my current CPU is fine for what I do in work. I hadn't thought of virtualization but that might be a good idea. I have 2x4GB ram now how would upgrading to 16GB help me though? My other question is with a game like Skyrim that is very cpu bound won't I...

    So Steam offline mode is not actually an offline mode?

    you have to first be online to initialize offline mode the first time. Then you are clear to use offline mode whenever you want. If they allowed offline mode without verifying anything than you could give everyone your games with no protection against it.

    What PC game demos blew you away?

    The Fear demo for sure was one that I played and told myself this is awesome. There is another game that I can't remember the title of that had multiplayer in the demo and I ended up just playing the demo multiplayer for many months without getting the game.

    My Steam Account Got Banned..

    Doesn't Even Balance do Punk Buster and not VAC. Punkbuster most definitely has false positives but VAC certainly does not. 1 = 1 If you have COD_4_HACK.exe running and VAC sees it than its a ban that is all it does.

    Triple Monitor with Integrated video?

    Off one graphics card no its not possible. Only just recently have we seen triple monitors off one graphics card and that is with ATI's recent cards. An integrated graphics would not be able to do it.

    Thinking about getting my mother a laptop for her birthday. She watches hulu and likes to play flash games, Farmville, bejeweled etc. Her current laptop(2 years old) lags horribly while doing flash things so I want to make sure the cpu I get on this laptop is up to the challenge. I recently...

    The AT Battlefield Bad Company 2 F.A.Q.

    I agree I wish DICE would fix auto team balance because it does not work at all. No matter the team sizes people can switch to whatever side they want. So what happens all to often on my server is people will start switching to the winning side and then the teams become unbalanced. Then I have...

    At my wit's end with Steam.

    A better analog is to buy a shitty THQ game at Best Buy. Would you stop buying games from Best Buy or would you stop buying games from THQ. Steam = Best Buy THQ = THQ

    The AT Battlefield Bad Company 2 F.A.Q.

    Don't think that is the case because I am only 15 and the person I killed was at least 20 when I killed him and I only got a silver. Maybe it a range of people close to you like 5 below and above is silver. I am skeptical of that too though because I have killed people above me in level at like...

    Advice on gaming laptop for college student

    Gaming laptop is a very bad idea especially if he is going to take it out of the dorm room and too class or the library etc. If you get a gaming laptop about the only thing it would be good for is to stay all the time in the dorm room and to take home on vacation. A gaming laptop is useless if...

    Five Drives for Raid-5

    Yeah I am going to try and make a freenas box with 5 1tb drives hopefully it works out. Might I ask what is OCE? From what I can tell of Freenas it seems to have all the features I want so don't think it will be an issue for me.

    Five Drives for Raid-5

    Unfortunately I am not an expert at ZFS's unraid or raid-z implementation. From what I have read though it uses transactions and small partitions so a failure would only effect a small portion and not the entire raid. When it goes to rebuild it only builds the small partition and does not have...

    Five Drives for Raid-5

    I am using ZFS and power backup so hopefully no fault errors from crashing or improper shutdown. Also its a software raid so maybe it will not dropout as opposed to a hardware raid. I am going with more drives in lower capacities so that I can more easily upgrade in the future. Upgrading 5...

    Buying Online Vs B&M

    So I buying online as long as you check the return policy isn't that bad compared to buying at a Brick and Mortar store. I always thought that buying things like Monitors from Online retailers was a bad idea but I guess things have matured enough to do it.

    Imgtech PowerVR SGX545 vs. nVidia Tegra2

    Nemesis either you are like 10 years old or your primary language is not english. That said Nemesis you seem to have some kinda of agenda and refuse to consider other people's thoughts. This thread has derailed considerably since the start in my opinion.

    Getting a refund for game purchased through Steam?

    He doesn't make a good point at all besides that I agree. The analogy of Recalls when one person or a couple have a bad result from a product is not even close to accurate. A product like a crib or car is a solid product which is made a certian way and if it failed in the way it was made...
