    Halo Reach: Wheel of Halo Contest - Winners Posted!

    This was a really good idea on filling people in on all the cool features CAG has to offer. I didn't even know half of this stuff was available. Kudos.

    $299 PS3 at Game Crazy??? (YMMV)

    I got my deal at the Houston store in Champions, on 1960, just north of Willowbrook Mall ... they couldn't stack the $50 bump though. But they will acknowledge the promotion if you're having trouble in Houston.

    $299 PS3 at Game Crazy??? (YMMV)

    I drove two hours to get to the nearest GameCrazy for this deal, and they told me you can't stack two console bonuses on the trade in. So to trade in two consoles, you only get $50 bonus, rather than stacking it to $100 bonus. After my friends gave in at the first stop, I continued to three...

    Kind of a general Core vs. Premium question.

    I do not have an HDTV, and probably won't for another few years. Just don't have the money at the moment. Although I'd like to think I will have one soon, I just don't see it happening any time soon. Also, I saw somewhere in the 360 Price Drop thread that the Core now comes with a wireless...

    Kind of a general Core vs. Premium question.

    The other day at work I won a 20GB HD for the 360, plus Guitar Hero II, but I don't have an Xbox 360 yet. That said, I'm curious on what the better option is here ... Core or Premium? I don't have any of the next gen consoles and it is time I upgrade to them. Would it be more efficient to get...

    Really bad idea - Teachers stage fake gun attack on sixth graders

    Is this really that new? When I was in second grade, late in the afternoon once we had a "Gun Drill," or whatever it was. We all thought it was a fire drill, but a lot of people saw a man running around waving his arms with a fake gun in hand, myself included. They told us over the PA...

    It's that time of year - what's on your bi-annual DDD wishlist?

    Probably have to pass on this one. I'm broke. But for those of you worried about things being Out Of Stock, don't be -- you can still order. In fact, sometimes it works out better that way, because you aren't charged for those items until they ship. So if the sale ends, say June 25th, like...

    You're playing _____ too much when _____.

    You're playing Disgaea too much when you see the entire world as a grid system. I guess that can be applied to any strategy style game, though. Happened to me with FF Tactics in late '97 and with Disgaea about a year ago. And one time, when I was really tired (after a day or two of being...

    Jack Thompson Goes After Wendy's for Promoting Manhunt 2...what?

    It seems weird he chose to go against a company affiliated with NINTENDO ... which is easily the most family-oriented console of them all.

    what games do you regret trading

    This was something my mom did. When I was in ... third grade, my mother traded in my Game Gear and all my games for it so she could get me Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, for my birthday. It was pretty lame that she took something away to give me a present. Oh, and the worst part was...

    Can one computer ruin the internet connection for every other computer?

    When using a router, you're sharing your connection with the other computers on the network so you have to expect some slowdown on it. I used to sell DSL internet services (recently, like last month) and we had a limit of about four computers per network on our wireless routers we sold. If...
