    Why consoles are rubbish!

    So it doesn't seem that anyone's noticed the fact that most of the people on these forums are going to be PC gamers because this is, after all, a PC community, but beside that, consoles aren't that bad. Consoles appeal to people who want simple stuff. Consoles are for people who just want to...

    Free Browser Based/Mac MMORPG

    This solution will cost you money, but it'll probably be the best one if you want to play games on a mac. VMWare has a program called VMWare Fusion (link). It costs $79.99 (USD), but it's worth it. It runs Windows as a virtual machine on your computer, so you can run Mac and Windows clients...

    What kind of games do you play??

    I play most anything multiplayer. I play WoW, but most of the time I'm on either Warcraft III, Team Fortress 2, or Zombie Panic playing with friends. Anything new (to us) is good.

    amd or intel? for gaming

    Intel, definitely. First off, it's not at all about GHz, it's about actual efficiency. Second off, quad-cores are great for multimedia (video encoding, etc), but dual-cores are the most that modern games make use of. Intel is definitely a lap ahead of AMD. The Core2 architecture is amazing -...

    world of warcraft tips

    When leveling, go into some talent spec that gives you damage (as a priest, go shadow, etc). Make sure to always do quests, and try to kill things a couple levels below you (really speeds things up).

    Team Fortress 2 "Meet the Sniper" Trailer

    The good part is that Team Fortress 2 is working on stuff like this. It's not meant as an advertisement really, it's meant for those already playing the game. They're just having fun doing it - always good for the health of a game. My favorite part was when he was trying to justify his...

    What gamepad are you using for pc?

    Mouse = instantaneous tracking. Gamepad joysticks = not. A good mouse with a keyboard is sooo much better than a gamepad, in my opinion. Someone mentioned racing games - I actually use joysticks for those. The only things I don't use my keyboard/mouse for is racing games and flight sims (Tie...

    Age of Conan... anyone else in?

    So I was just wondering -- who else here is quitting WoW (or, in my case, has already quit) for Age of Conan? Comes out 5/20, I'm pre-ordered, heard from beta testers it was pretty good. Any other thoughts?

    Ultimate game list!

    Not there ^^ It'll take him a while to add up the DOS games. Personally I think he'd do better to throw them into a database with some info with what platform the game is for, the release date, etc. But that's just me.

    Ultimate game list!

    I have a (very) long list of DOS games I'll submit, but I'm too lazy to register at some forums, so I'll just give you a .txt link: http://ethraax.exofire.net/files/dos-game-list.txt I did not compile this list, it came with the Memories project I got. I actually have all those games ^^...

    Undeletable MySQL Database

    account name: ethraax cPanel account: ethraax domain: ethraax.exofire.net server: cossacks I have this database, "ethraax", of size 0.01MB. When I try to delete it, it confirms the deletion, but it never goes away. I can't make a third DB because of it. If you could manually delete it...

    My z-index isn't working...

    So I have this project to write a portable website for a gaming database (of really any game). For the mock-up I'm using a simple Runescape thing. I have this idea that the box describing something goes slightly in front of the icon, and when you mouse over the icon, it gets bigger and pops up...

    Hosting a Torrent Tracker

    [Resolved] Hosting a Torrent Tracker I've read many posts through the search feature and I seem to find different answers to this. Corey said here that is was okay as long as you were only seeding your files. Some other posts had a flat "no" attached to them. The reason I'm looking at...
