    XP PRO X64 edition

    The main problem was that only Athlon made 64 bit processors for home use. That meant that the market was 99.9% 32 bit Windows, so very few hardware and software companies supported it. A friend of mine just recently bought a socket 775 Pentium 4 processor that ONLY supports 64 bit Windows. That...

    "Tarantino to direct Half-Life movie?" - Gamespot Rumor

    On a side note. Since Xen was probably the most hated level in the HL series and jumping puzzles arn't really going to translate onto film very easily, how would you re-imagine Xen for the movie? Or if you would choose to just remove it, how would you end the story? I would say that the only...

    Cats + stuff = AWESOME

    This ones title says "01/31: Tinkerbelle rocking a tiara and clearly loving it" but to me its more like "get this shit off me or you die in your sleep".

    5 pirates and a 100 ducats

    If Pirate 5 chooses a fair split would be 20/20/20/20/20 Pirate 4 it would be 25/25/25/25 Pirate 3 it would be 33/33/33 (ish) Pirate 2 it would be 50/50 So in order to get Pirate 4 and 3 to...

    5 pirates and a 100 ducats

    Pirate 5 splits it 3 ways. He and 2 others agree, that only leaves 2 left to disagree.

    5 pirates and a 100 ducats

    They disagree untill there is 2 left, then one Pirate says he takes it all. Since there is no majority to over-rule him he gets it all?

    Nvidia TV output

    Try booting it up with both a monitor and the TV connected and turned on. Go into the graphics options and select the right TV properties, (PAL-I for the UK, NTSC for USA, thats all I can think of right now). You might need to find the option to switch over to your TV if your card doesn't...

    Best Comedy Films of all time

    Theres a film called Whoops Apocalypse, I've loved it ever since I saw it on TV when I was a kid. Unfortunatlly everybody I show it to or describe it to says its the biggest load of crap ever. I'm not sure if I like it cause its funny or because I loved it so much when I was a kid. Either way I...

    Xbox 360's lower quantity same price!?.

    The price is at a level where they will make the most money. Higher prices mean lost sales to those who are not willing to pay that much, which in turn works against them as too many units on the shelf and it loses credibility. The price of a console has nothing to do with making money, they...

    about 2003, 2004, 2005 Prince of Persia games

    I got WW with a graphics card. Not played it yet, it said somewhere that it was designed to be played with an anologue controller. I've been thinking about buying one of those XBox controller to USB converters. Would that be worth it or should I just uninstall it?

    STALKER finished!!!

    1. How can it have "gone gold" but still be in beta stage 2. "The final build has the whole storyline, 20 levels and all of the features." I thought STALKER was one big freeform level around Chernobyl.

    Gamespot's Game of the Year is...

    Confession: I have never played a Resident Evil game. Ever. Should I play the fourth, or is it the sort of thing you should really have been there from the begining?

    Act of War Expansion Media!

    It wasn’t as good as C&C but it filled a “pick up and play” RTS hole for a while. I’ll probably play it, is it expansion or sequel? Edit: Never mind. I should have read the thread title a bit closer.
