    Alienware 14 a good laptop?

    Thanks for the tip. I'm leaning strongly toward getting this laptop now. I have a whole extra day to consider before my discount expires, so I still have some time to think and gather opinions. I also spec'd out an XPS12 and an Inspiron 15R, but both were more expensive (I get a 15%...

    Alienware 14 a good laptop?

    It only applies to the Alienware 14, 17, and 18. I'd prefer to get something without a discrete GPU (integrated graphics on a Haswell would be fine for most of the games that I play), but it's hard to walk away from 25% off. 6 pounds does seem somewhat heavy...

    Alienware 14 a good laptop?

    I've been offered a 25% discount on the Alienware 14 on the Dell website, which is a great deal so I'm thinking of buying it. I'd mostly be coding on it, so the discrete GPU won't get much use, but I'd love to have a laptop with a Haswell CPU for the extended battery life. Some reviews that...

    [DEAD]Panasonic VIERA 42" TC-P42X1 720p Plasma HDTV: $532.53 AC w/DPA. FS. Exp. 9/15 @dell

    That's a really slick deal. Without the coupon, it's currently $599 in cart ($150 off for some "limited time offer", no coupon required). And free shipping until the 17th of Sep! Not quite as good e: Beware, printed resolution is 1024 x 768

    Did you enjoy Baldur's Gate 1/2, Planescape Torment, or Icewind Dale back in the day?

    Actually, I just finished playing BG1 for the first time with easytutu. What a fun game! And then I started BG2 for the first time... WOW, these games are amazing. And then I installed the widescreen mod, and it looks absolutely awesome.

    Steam Weekend Deal *Thread updated weekly*(Deal start date: 10/23)

    I've wanted to play The Witcher for awhile, but I'm not sure if I should wait longer for some sort of uber deal. I wouldn't be able to play it until September at the soonest, probably October actually. So that's not an easy decision

    Ordered PS3

    Valkyria Chronicles - This game is fantastic, get it. Final Fantasy Tactics meets WW2 (although it's a little childish at times) Resistance 1 and 2 - Very fun FPS games MGS4 - Very fun, probably the best in the series

    PS2 Console Still Worth Buying?

    Hell yes, it's a great system and super cheap right now, as you noticed. Then again, if you already have a Wii, remember that it also runs Gamecube games, which is full of good games for kids.

    Can i use my ps3 controller on my laptop?

    I've gotten it to work on my main PC, but I have to run the driver installation program every time that I want to use the controllers. Maybe he doesn't want to shell out $X for a new controller? Isn't that the point of the post?

    Empire Total War

    To the credit of the developers, revolutions were practically trendy during the ETW time period. I guess the design reflects that?

    When California goes bankrupt, will you flee that state?

    That's really not true at all, CA has the 10th largest economy in the world (including other countries) according to the CIA factbook, and it's the single largest tax contributor in the US. Also, 75% of red states receive more from the federal government in socialist programs than they give...

    When California goes bankrupt, will you flee that state?

    CA needs to repeal prop 13 (cap on property taxes, keeping them 45th lowest in the country) and then reform its budgeting methods. Voters can assign spending with a 50% majority, but legislators can only make budgetary changes (cutting projects or raising taxes) with a supermajority. That...

    SWG was awful, and it just got worse as time went on. Bioware's MMO sounds like it'll be a singleplayer game with a chat interface, but that could be really good

    Ahhh the memories

    The original DOW intro is pretty sweet, although it makes the space marines look a lot more mediocre than they're supposed to be. I was impressed by the DOW2 trailer. I love the dreadnaught's line: "I am here to destroy you." Total Annihilation gets an honorable mention, since the game is...

    What's your watch list for the near future?

    What's your point? Mass Effect 2 isn't scheduled for this year for the xbox, which means it won't be out for PC until 2011 at least. And Diablo 3 is definitely not coming out this year. Starcraft 2 probably won't be out until 2010, too. My list: Starcraft II Diablo III Mass Effect 2...

    Mods and Games like DotA

    Russian Roulette. With a fully loaded pistol. DOTA is awful and the people who play it are terrible. But seriously, have you tried Demigod yet? It was pretty much designed with DOTA in mind, only they strove to make it better (and aren't bound to work within the WC3 engine)

    Six Days in Fallujah

    This game is already posthumous; the battle of Fallujiah took place. It's over. Apocalypse Now came out only four years after the Vietnam War. The Battle of Fallujah was in 2004, ie five years ago. I'd suggest that we're well within historical territory here. WWII games aren't popular...

    Six Days in Fallujah

    Why wouldn't it be a good idea? There have been countless WWII, WWI, Vietnam, etc. representations made in movies, games, etc. There's nothing unique or special about the Iraq war that makes it immune to portrayal (or even parody) in a video game. Anyone who thinks it's "too soon" or...

    Weren't some of the actors/actresses in Starship Troopers also softcore porn stars? Not really the same as what Ms Grey does, but relevant nonetheless.

    Has Anime become mainstream in the US?

    The manga, sure. The anime is really only an introduction to the manga. Seeing the anime and not reading the manga is like admiring the front door of an art museum but never stepping inside.

    Star Trek, Terminator Salvation, or Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

    The first Transformers wasn't that good. It was very pretty and featured a mediocre storyline. It lacked enough robot fighting. I don't expect the new one to be much better (they've cast human actors? Thumbs down, humans in Transformers should only be there to die in huge explosions) Star...

    New Eva 2.0 trailer

    Has Anime become mainstream in the US?

    There's my point, summarized. Most anime is awful and not worth watching. If you don't have anyone with a sense of taste guiding which series you watch, pretty soon you'll come to the conclusion that all anime is terrible. As a medium for telling stories, anime tends to have a pretty slow...

    Has Anime become mainstream in the US?

    No, it has not become mainstream. Only nerds and pervs watch anime. I'm a nerd :P Do you want to know why? It's because a lot of anime series are complete and utter shit. That's right, they're terrible. But for some reason a bunch of guys decided that all anime everywhere is good, so...

    No fiber to the home ? We will build our own then !

    2) The problem I have with this is that it allows false claims to be made that the service is violating the law. Say that the city happens to lower broadband service rates but also decreases funding for fire services. Time Warner could show up and claim that they violated the bill even if the...

    TWC to Customers: You Don?t Want Tiers, You Don?t Get Super-fast Broadband

    He cares so little that he can't be bothered to care less than he already does! But if someone put a gun to his head, I guess he could then care less?

    TWC to Customers: You Don?t Want Tiers, You Don?t Get Super-fast Broadband

    This is further proof that these broadband monopolies need to end. More competition means we'll have lower prices and better service across the board (although it may take a decade to get there).

    No fiber to the home ? We will build our own then !

    Then why are you claiming that these bills are fair? They artificially increase operating costs (by requiring several third party accounting services) and on top of that tack on pretend "costs" that don't exist. And the final imaginary cost (as opposed to the actual cost) sets the minimum...

    No fiber to the home ? We will build our own then !

    Why should the city not be allowed to have access to grants for broadband expansion and broadband stimulus? Who could possibly agree with this? The private industry is subject to none of the rules in either of these bills, so why should the bills pass? Time Warner is not trying to level the...

    can you play l4d across PC and xbox?

    1) Playing on a 360 makes you less effective in FPS (ie M+KB > console controller), so you shouldn't want to play with the PC players for this reason (ie you'll suck in comparison) 2) The PC voice chat people tend to be a lot better than the 360 voice chat people, so you shouldn't want to...

    Cutting taxes for the rich does not stimulate the economy.

    Even if they've increased their share, 35% is far from an optimal rate. 40% wouldn't be a huge increase, but it would increase government revenue considerably. Better yet, we could eliminate the countless loopholes in the system that allow so many in the top bracket to evade taxes. The...
