WTF is Dungeon Overlord? :)

I got into this for a month or so along with a couple guys in the office. At first it seems like you only need to play it a few minutes a day but once you have 5 or 6 dungeons on the go the micromanagement is insane. Minimum of an hour every day to keep things ticking over but I probably was...

Bioware employees creating fake DA2 reviews on metacritic

Do the user reviews on Metacritic use a 'weighted average' system like IMDB? Surely this would diminish the effect of stat padding of these sorts?

My PC went bang...whilst turned off :(

Please don't make me doubt my sanity! Yes I'm sure it was real, fortunately, since there was a pleasant smell of unhappy burning electronics afterwards. I opened the PSU up since it's not under warranty any more... I can't see anything wrong with the caps, nor any scorch marks. Motherboard...

My PC went bang...whilst turned off :(

So I was happily dozing off next to my PC, until I was awoken by a bang. I'd just shut it down and climbed into bed. I fall asleep very quickly so I wasn't fully concious, but I'm pretty sure there was a whining noise that got increasingly louder before the bang. After testing things (this...

Battlefield 3 64 Players on PC only and Jets confirmed

I never used to like playing against jets so I used to just stick to maps that didn't have them. I used to play competitive BF2 so I never used to see them in matches anyway, hence I didn't need to learn how to cope. Can't wait for this either case, even though it'll probably be borderline...

Steam vs Retail pricing...get with it steam(possible rant)

It's funny, you reminded me of my (lack of) experience with Awakening. I loved the original Dragon Age and was very happy the expansion was coming out. I bought the original on Steam. When I tried to buy the expansion, I noticed it was 30% more on Steam than other retail channels. I figured...

tf2 Kritzkrieg or Ubber?

This. Average demoman on public servers is terrible, and spends his day setting massive traps that nobody ever crosses. KK soldier has huge burst damage potential, and between the average soldier vs average demo, the soldier is far more likely to do the right thing when charged. TF2 like many...

tf2 Kritzkrieg or Ubber?

In my opinion, I think there's much more opportunity for game-changing things to happen in your favour when you're using the uber. That's not to say kritz is by any means useless, but many public games get stuck at some bottleneck. The average pubber (on the receiving end of the charge) is far...

Competitive games can make me rage... in recent history if I've been playing BFBC2 for a couple hours and every map I've been on I'm on the losing team, despite being the top scorer on the server. This makes me unhappeh :'( World of Warcraft works for me, queue up on dungeon finder and go...

Unbelievable BFBC2 Vietnam Gameplay video

My best guess is that in the cases of him 'knowing' where enemies are, it's a case of it being a very common place for enemies to approach from, or he heard them coming. Probably a bit of both. I'd like to say 'I can do that!' but I'm awful with choppers and his para jumping moves are...

Why does a 4 fps drop seem so bad?

I'd agree with the notion that a sub-30fps isn't really acceptable for most gaming, and you're seeing first hand why. However, isn't there something to be said that a 6fps drop from 30fps is a 20% decrease? You'd probably notice a drop to 48fps from 60fps

From MW2 to BC2

I always thought one frustration in BC2 lies in being new and not understanding the situation in game, nor how to use it to your advantage. I played alongside my friends who were both pretty bad newbies, and they'd often attempt to take cover in completely irrelevant places with exposed flanks...

Which drivers would have less amount of issues: 5870 vs 470GTX

Past 3 years I've had Nvidia and ATI cards, I've never had any issues with either. Anything before then is going to be too old to consider. I play a lot of different games, and having had no issues, I personally don't feel there's much relevancy in people who claim one is more stable than the...

Ultra budget WoW graphics at 1920x1080?

Back in the day I ran a Q6600 @ 3.0ghz with an 8600GT(S? whichever was faster) at 1920x1280 as a temp measure and it was OK. Once I got the 8800GT I was on high settings (not crazy AA) and only experienced slowdowns in 40 person raids. The strong CPU was obviously pulling me through there...

Killing Floor - Great Game, some bugs

Well that's fine, I'm not (and most people) aren't asking for a reload cancel. I'd just prefer it left me empty on ammo and made a 'click' noise every time I try to fire an empty clip. An automatic reload can only have been programmed as a 'helpful' feature, not as a realistic one or anything to...

Killing Floor - Great Game, some bugs

I picked it up too. I played it on the free weekender with a friend and enjoyed it, but always said I'd only pick it up if it was less than £5. One feature gets on my nerves often though...if the clip of your gun empties and you click again to fire, it automatically reloads. There's no...

Team Fortress 2 appreciation thread

TF2 is great! I've played it far too much - I love that Valve really listen to the community too, it definitely helps. An example would be about a year ago they added a server variable to appease competitive players - it turns off the randomized damage. Competitive players have been moaning for...

so who still plays HoN now that it's out of free beta?

I started playing this for the first time about two weeks ago..... I played LoL to see if I liked the game format and I did. I'm not very good but learning fast, yes the community can be brutal. If you play ranked games you're expected to know how to play the hero you've selected.

I'd never thought of mortar strikes being boosted by the explosive perk at all. I always justified using magnum on the bolt-action rifles partly because half my kills seem to be mid range, and also I thought that if I body shot by accident I'm more likely to net a kill from a wounded target...

That's a good point. I remember spending more time in BF1942 playing Desert Combat than the original multiplayer. I've racked up about 2.5 days playtime on BC2 now, and I'm feeling pretty burned out on the current maps. Most notably the rush maps, due to their often linear nature I'm seeing...

Long time lurker, first time poster here... I've played the game a lot, I really don't think cheating is as rampant as you think it is. From my experience your score is going to be heavily influenced by the effectiveness of your team. Some games I can score a 3:1 K:D ratio, others I'll be on...
