I just don't like flight yokes, even the high end ones. They make my arms hurt and I can't be precise with them. (Also I think they are ergonomically designed to be between a pilot's legs, not on a desk but that may be just me). I am looking for a consumer version of...

Geometry, lighting and shadows were scanned not calculated. I am guessing that all effects like bulletholes, smoke, dynamic scenery (doors you can open) and additional lighting will all stand out and look fake. How is the program to know if a dark patch might be a shadow or a dark bit of wall...

Virtual Pool 3 is the only game I have never gotten bored with.

My main is D/D ele. they are powerful indeed. Takes a while longer to get into, but very very rewarding. The character has such a nice flow to it in combat. The fact that you keep yourself alive in melee range, being the most squishy class, just by using magic and being fast is awesome. The...

Yep, the PC version is being worked on by http://www.nixxes.com

Just letting you know getting the Antec PSU fixed everything. Thanks again you rock!

I will do just that. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. I don't have a camera and the sticker is probably facing the case because I can't see it, plus it's in a bit of a hard-to-reach spot. I double-checked the connections. I used the 6+2 pins connector straight from the power supply for the 8-pin connection, but there was...

Today I bought a Point of View GeForce GTX 480 1536MB cheap. System boots fine and everything looks perfect. Temps are ok, drivers installed well, card seems fine. But whenever I start ANY game I get a reboot. This seems to occur at the point it has to start drawing at full speed , so most...

Unfortunately my favorite bit-torrent client utorrent (microtorrent) has gone the winamp way. The installer want to add toolbars and there are ads showing in a new integrated 'app studio'. The usual blabla about partners etc, you know the drill. This usually kills software so I need an...

Good for you. Your choice of words suggests you over indulged, but smoking kills you. Smoking a little still hurts you a lot but most other stuff in life will do no harm in moderation. It's sometimes tricky though, a raid takes hours and there can be pressure to show up. Especially for healers...

Sounds like a blast but this has me worried: If you buy the collector's edition you get : "Collector’s Satchel: Increase the size of your primary backpack to 24 slots." For a mere 10 quid. We have an agreement in my household not to pay for virtual items and this has me a little worried. So...

Gentoo here, because of the wonderful package manager Portage and I kept breaking my system on other DIY distributions. All in all it took me about 20 hours to install though and two more weeks to finish configuring the WM and kernel.

Bah! You made me backspace my own reply :) You just said it all. Psychic enemies in a stealth game just kills it.

Linux demands a directory name when executing a file. there are a few shortcuts for common directory names : . current directory .. parent directory ~ the home directory of the current user assuming there is a file called /home/steve/myfile : /home/steve/myfile would start myfile from...

I'd rely on an automated installer if this is your first go at linux. I wouldn't bother putting /home on a separate partition yet. My /boot partition is about 100 MB preferably the first partition you make on a drive . Don't forget to make it bootable / active. the swap file needs its...

Can you just buy Cataclysm and start playing or do i need to re-buy the original game + expansions + cataclysm? Gave my account away years ago but there is no way i'll spend more than one full-price game + subs.

Lots of interesting comments here, you guys are really knowledgeable. I found multithreaded programming very hard, even using libraries intended to help (TBB / Boost). But then, I am no professional. Here's how i look at multithreading and its limitations, please correct me if i'm wrong...

The Oxford dictionary describes hacked as follows: Hack, (hacked, hacked) - verb : to give one's password to the wrong person and blaming it on a third party in order not having to face one's stupidity.

Nah, graphics card holding me back in some games. As long as my racing games and all UT3-based games run at 60 fps at native res and GTA around 45-ish i am ok. I'm pleased and not upgrading in 2010.
