    What game was this?

    Shouldn't be too hard.

    Building a PC

    No, 3.3gb max with 32-bit. It's a hardware limitation caused by the way memory is addressed ("mapped out"), not an OS limitation. You can use certain tweaks to "see" the full amount, but you cannot utilize it.

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    There is probably a good game in here somewhere, but I'm not sure that I can be bothered with actually finding it. If you've already bought it, you may as well give it a fair chance.

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    The new Wolfenstein. So far I'm unimpressed. The graphics are functional but unimpressive, and the... Actually, "functional but unimpressive" describes the whole game pretty well so far.

    Building a PC

    That's good, but others may not hear it, since it's a very subjective thing. I certainly don't, especially not enough of a difference for me to justify an extra $80+ on something better spent on other things, or to justify having to deal with Creative's drivers again although those may have...

    Building a PC

    The only difference I notice in sound quality between a good soundcard and good onboard*, and this is with decent headphones (Sennheiser HD 555), is that the onboard in some setups has a very faint hiss caused by other components, usually the video card, producing electrical intereference**...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Keyboard. I always use the arrow keys on a keyboard for racing games. Joysitcks and controllers feel too cumbersome for me, like I'm trying to steer with my elbows, and it causes me to misjudge corners and end up kissing the walls. Don't get the wrong idea, though; driving like an asshole is...

    Building a PC

    You mean amperes, right? In that case, yes, the amp rating is far more important than the wattage. The only situations in which someone (who isn't building a dedicated server) needs a 600+ watt PSU are those with monster SLI/Crossfire configurations, and/or lots of hard drives. It's a lot better...

    General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

    Well, most of them don't. ProStreet did, but unfortunately it wasn't a very good game. It seems like Most Wanted was the last NFS that had a (somewhat) lasting appeal, but I have high hopes for the upcoming Shift despite the downward trend in the quality of Need for Speed titles. Meh...

    GRID. I drive like an asshole.

    Fallout 3 Mothership Zeta reviews and info

    I played FO3 again just to try this DLC and see if it was really so bad that modern reviewers could give it a 6/10 (which is like a 2/10 from 1998, after adjusting for inflation). Oh, it is. It really, really is. That bullshit made the base game seem great by comparison. Everything about it...

    Every fucking time I open this thread, you're the last person that's posted. So screw it, I'm done avoiding rating your avatar. 6/10

    Tea Parties and Obamacare

    I was especially entertained by the woman in the first video that admitted being uninterested in politics prior to this systematic dismantling of the country. "Hey guys, I don't have an actual understanding of what the fuck I'm talking about, but I am UPSET ABOUT IT!" :V There's a pervasive...

    Apple Urges Government to Outlaw iPhone Unlocking

    That was an iPod+HP, which is technically an HP product. You should have gone to them for support, not Apple. That said, I haven't liked Apple, their products, nor their practices for a long time. I do have fond memories of the LC II, though. Good ol' pizza box.

    Stalker: Call of Pripyat

    My point was that you can change it back. But hey, if you don't like it, you don't like it. :D

    Stalker: Call of Pripyat

    It's a bit of a hassle, and by no means does it make up for the flaws OL has for you to begin with, but you can change the carry weight in STALKER yourself. Isn't Oblivion Lost superseded by AMK or something? Actually, we're probably getting off-topic here.

    Watchmen Question

    Yes. They're much, much better. Even if you didn't like the movie you could very well like the comics. If you like comics to begin with, anyways.

    Stalker: Call of Pripyat

    The first one... Base game is kind of okay, but obviously had unused potential. The main flaws it suffers from are overall bugginess (though the patches largely cleared this up), sometimes completely redonkulous AI, and a hilariously bad translation. Also the story is convoluted and stupid. With...
