S.T.A.L.K.E.R was released in stores this past Tuesday! S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl "When Chernobyl melted down, it spewed a cloud of radioactive dust all over Europe. A similarly menacing cloud hung over STALKER's development, and given all its troubles we're fortunate to have a game at all, let alone one this good. Its setting is superb, its gameplay tense and convincing, and it boasts what are definitely the best fill-your-pants moments in a PC game for quite some time. It's hard to see how it could have turned out better."

As some of you already know, I purchased about 20 things on-line in the past month with mixed results. The good news is the assembly of my new computer only took about 2.5 hours, booted the first time and had 0 issues...the bad news is I was overcharged, shipped the wrong items and only received a $5 Im sorry refund and a t-shirt (newegg). If I would've waited 6 more days on the same exact items, I would've saved approx $120. Should I crap on resellratings about it? Should I try to work with another person there (2 via chat, 2 via email, 1 via phone)? I was promised $20 credit a week ago and was told it take 3-5 days. Just enough time for me to sit back and not utilize th…

Ok, so I am going stir crazy over here. I was never a super gigantic gamer or a very good one, but I sure loved the occassional neverending Halo matches with my friends and whatnot. Since my son was born (he's about 20 months right now) I'm desperate to find some fellow gamer and geek parents to hang out with during the days and weekends, preferably with kids about the same age. We could take turns playing and watching the kids, they can get some socialization in and such...watch geek shows, whatever. My nonparent friends mostly ditched me or refuse to understand that taking a toddler to a non toddlerproofed house isn't fun. Looking for peeps local to Orchard Park, Ha…

Ranked server hack Damn stat padders!! They should offer fake badges that only a padder would be able to obtain, like 200 knife kills in a round. That's how people get caught.

I'm trying to figure out how to make a plastic case NOT fry my components....I'm not talking about plexi, it's about the same material that a 5-gallon bucket is made out of. Really light, VERY sturdy. I've got the design down, just don't know if I should spray it with metallic paint to make it conductive (which I've seen suggested on other forums) or if there's some way to make it anti-static.... Any suggestions?

As of October 2008, Sony has been asking gaming publishers to pick up the tab. Dubbed the "PlayStation Network Bandwidth" fee, the rate Sony charges publishers amounts to 16 cents per Gigabyte. Free content, such as game demos, only rack up charges for the first 60 days they are available, but bandwidth costs for paid downloadable content are billed to the publisher essentially forever. Publishers seem unhappy with the added cost -- an unnamed source said "It’s a new thing we have to budget. It’s not cool. It sucks." Given this fee and Microsoft's attempts at making every high profile release exclusive to the Xbox 360, is it any surprise that gaming firms like Rockstar an…

Basically I bought this monster LCD to play on and my current hardware cant smoothly push the native rez for a lot of games. Soooo.... What would you folks recommend if I were to build a new system right now. Im currently doing some reading and newegg searching getting my ideas set. However Im a bit out of the current tech news and info so catch up can take a bit What do you guys consider hot and worthwhile. Lastly, Im more of a semi-budget wont buy newest biggest tech as I think the price is simply ridiculous vs. performance gains. So while Im looking at core 2 duo CPU's I probably wont touch the "extreme" versions as they seem just totally out of whack …

Phenom II X6 AM3 There is a clear trend towards increase of the number of cores inside central processing units (CPUs), just five years ago a dual-core chip was a dream, whereas now we are approaching six-core microprocessors. The new AMD Phenom II X6 “Thuban” processors will be compatible with AM3 and AM2+ platforms So possible no need to upgrade anything other then the CPU. http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/cpu/display/2...Technology.html

Ok, LAN games are great, but the one thing PC's really don't do well is fighting games. I was thinking it would be a blast to have a PS2 or something at a LAN for like DBZ, or Tekken, or whatever, and also for Sports games like Madden or NHL. Do you think anyone would wanna play it? Would you? Requiem
