    A Japanese, Anime-Based Mod coming out in August

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0qiRavsgAQ A group is making a mod on--well, I'm not sure which engine. But it's supposed to come out in August. It's based on Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha, an anime that's basically a spoof of Cardcaptor Sakura/Sailor Moon/DBZ. Looks quite like the show; cool...

    Why do different servers show up in the list each time I scan?

    I reinstalled ESF and have been looking for servers; each time I refresh, different amounts of servers come back. Sometimes "Sub's" server doesn't show up at all. I don't remember behavior like this in the past.. Anyone else experience this?

    Do Tuesday game releases piss you off?

    I personally hate how game publishers have chosen to distribute games on Tuesdays. Usually this means, in the US, they ship on Tuesday and arrive on Wednesday. In the case of digitally distributed games, they're released on Tuesday. This makes absolutely no sense to me. The best example I can...

    Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures

    Has anybody picked this up yet? I bought it tonight; installing it now. Great to finally see an M-rated MMO with blood/some nudity/etc. Not that that's all that matters--but I want a more mature themed game. Tired of the "PG-13" fantasy that has incorporated itself into nearly every mainstream...

    Mushishi: the mature, jaw-droppingly beautiful anime of 2006.

    Mushishi--basically "master of mushi." In Japanese, "mushi" means "bugs," but in this story, mushi are basically primordial lifeforms that took a very different evolutionary path than we did. They're invisible to most people, and they tend to follow a river of light (again invisible to most...

    Watch Code Geass!

    I don't know how many of you keep up-to-date with anime, but I hope at least some of you got to see Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion last year. One of my favorite series of '06 and '07, along with Mushi-shi and Death Note. Basic premise: An alternate history where the United States never...

    TriggerHeart Excelica on Xbox Live Arcade

    Did anybody else see they'd added Triggerheart Excelica (an '07 Dreamcast game) on Xbox Live Arcade? It's a lot of fun--I never expected this game to reach stateside. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigger_Heart_Exelica Try the demo on XBL!

    Useful, Lesser-known Windows Shortcuts

    I've noticed that when I use my computer, people ask me how I do several things so quickly. It's through short-cuts. There are a multitude of useful shortcuts people just don't know about. I'll list a few, and see if anyone else knows some I don't know or forgot to list. 1) CTRL+SHIFT+ESC...

    -Worthless- XB360 Memory Card

    Honestly. What is the point of these? I have the nice version of the 360 with the hard drive, but I still want to be able to take my save games to another person's 360. So I buy a memory card--a total rip off at $40 for 64MB--and I put it in my 360, ready to transfer my save games. So I try...

    XB360+HP L2335 1080i/p support

    I've been playing my XB360 hooked up to my L2335 (http://www.anandtech.com/displays/showdoc.aspx?i=2467 You have to copy+paste this link into the browser)), and it works in 1080i--but according to the OSD, it's only 1804 x 1015 resolution, rather than the 1920x1080 resolution I know 1080...

    Video Capture Slowness

    I haven't used any of my video capturing software in awhile--and I booted it up, and while it displays the video at a decent speed, trying to capture it (whether by fraps, virtualdubmod, etc) is pretty slow. My computer is pretty fast (3GHz+), over a gig of RAM, an nvidia 7600GS video card, and...

    Motherboard Help (Buying)

    I'm looking for a motherboard that supports PCI-Express, and can handle either a Pentium 4 chip, or a Core 2 Duo chip. Do they exist? I ask, because I want to upgrade my computer in small steps--and if I switch to a PCI-express mobo, I have to immediately upgrade my video card, too--and the...

    Half-Life trouble (new video card)

    I recently switched my old ATI 9800XT for a new nvidia 7600GS. I thoroughly removed all the ATI garbage and put in the new card--I got a decent jump in FPS in my games. But when I start Half-Life (or Half-Life mods, like ESF) I only get like 1-5 FPS. Something is obviously wrong. I tried...

    7600GS: Unlocking pipelines

    I recently replaced my 9800XT(256MB) with this (slightly) overclocked and +RAM 7600GS (512MB). I was wondering if there's any disabled pipelines/etc I can activate? I looked around on google, but couldn't find anything. I've already noticed a sizable jump in performance (though this card...

    Peter Jackson: Making a Game.. again?

    I was watching the news, and all of a sudden there's an inane story about Peter Jackson "breaking into the gaming market." Am I wrong, or did Peter Jackson not already try to make a game--the abysmally crappy King Kong game? Meh. I liked the LOTR movies, but King Kong--the movie--was rather...

    Spore Gameplay Overview [Video!]

    http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=8372603330420559198&q I don't know where it's from, but it's a very long video detailing Will Wright's next big game, Spore, from the microscopic to the galactic level. Very interesting! Even though the game is months away, it looks like it's finished...

    New Monitor

    I've been in the market for a new monitor to replace my 19" flatscreen CRT. I've looked around and come back to this one several times: http://www.anandtech.com/displays/showdoc.aspx?i=2467 But it's kind of expensive. Usually anywhere from $1,000 to $1,500. But I was looking around on...

    Pick Your Favorite Ice Cream [Brand]!

    I'm tired of there being no even remotely interesting threads to read. So here's another one of my random "versus" threads. Some of you -may- remember my old ones, about fried rice and pepsi/coke. So.. which BRAND of ice cream is your favorite? This isn't about flavors, but feel free to post...
