    PC Beta Sept. 29th, 27th with Origin pre-order

    There's also the fact that there isn't any proning in BC2. I feel like the game would be far more frustrating if they took the glare out.

    Lessons from Valve - How to build a designer's paradise

    I visited Valve a couple months ago. Having open rooms, 30" monitors, and unlimited free candy makes Valve a company I'd want to work for. EDIT: After reading the article, I'm happy somebody else found out how hard it was to find the offices; I somehow managed to get in through the service...

    Battlefield 3

    Isn't 3d spotting in Bad Company 2? I don't see how spotting is different from BC2, and why so many people were complaining about it in the Alpha.

    Dragon Age 2

    When I played the first part, I thought they had really wrecked the game. But once the fantasy sequence was over, I found it was a pretty streamlined version of the original game (I noticed they took some cues from Mass Effect 2; if they added kinetic barriers, this would've been a very good...

    Another gaming laptop recommendation thread

    The G73 is probably his best bet. There's a 15" version available (G51-something?) if he doesn't care for the size of the 17", but they're both large laptops with poor battery life that look slightly ugly.

    Ubuntu or Altnernative

    I think the easiest way to try Ubuntu would be to download the wubi installer and run that. It automatically downloads the correct iso, installs Ubuntu in a file on your exisiting partitions (so you don't have to mess with them), and even adds an entry to the Windows boot menu. If you don't want...

    Mandatory games for the cube

    You should definitely find Zelda: Collector's Edition if you can, and if you have friends that are into it (and have GBAs), you should play either TLoZ Four Swords Adventures or FF: Crystal Chronicles because those are experiences that are unique to the gamecube. Finally, Eternal Darkness...

    Need help on Philosophy Paper

    Using some definitions I pulled from the Oxford English Dictionary to get a better sense of what the prompt is arguing... Using this definition with ones from other dictionaries, "rational" as an adjective generally means being capable of reason / using reason. So I think rational argument...

    Played LoZ:Wind Waker for the first time.

    That dungeon was beastly. I remember buying a strategy guide and still getting lost in it. When I replayed the game a couple years ago, though, the dungeon seemed really easy. But jeez, I had to work up so much courage when I first went through it. It took me three days to prepare and 3...

    Did anyone feel said for that guy in Death Toll*spoiler*

    You know the priest at the part in Death Toll where you have to defend the church from zombies? And how he wouldn't let you in, but he got turned into a smoker, anyway? That made me really feel said for him. I mean, he was a dick, but seriously, he was all alone and stuff, and that was...

    iPhone or Ipod Touch?

    The ipod touch 2.0 does have speaker, and the volume control buttons on the side, so it's only missing the gps+bluetooth+mic. My brother was surprised that the Ipod touch he bought didn't have a microphone, and he really wanted it for voice recording. :( I recommend you get an iPhone, just...

    Looking to purchase a headset

    I had the steelseries 4h which was pretty good. The wire is a bit flimsy, and it became unsoldered because my siblings used it and pulled on it a lot. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826249024 So now I use the 5h v2 with its braided (and very pulling resistant)...
