    The $9.99 PC games in jewel case packaging are buy 1 get 1 free right now at Office Depot. Lots of shovelware, yes, but there are some solid titles mixed in. For example I grabbed Tomb Raider Anniversary and Battlestations Midway for $10. Me so happy.

    Tomb Raider Legend/Anniversary now in $10 jewel case packaging

    I was somewhere today (Office Max I think) and noticed that the PC versions of Tomb Raider Legend and Tomb Raider Anniversary are now being shipped in the 9.99 jewel case packaging. Shouldn't be long before Target and Walmart get them. Great games for anyone who's been holding out on them, and...

    Cheap wireless PC controllers at Five Below

    I picked up a "Game Elements Wireless Wave" controller today for $5 at Five Below (east coast only). It's actually not too bad, it has two analog sticks, 2.4 wireless, and dual vibration motors. Uses 3 AAA batteries and comes with a pretty nice software package including calibration and its own...

    How to ID boards with fan speed control

    I'm looking at buying a new board to put together a mid-range gaming system; I'll probably go with an AM2 socket/2600 mHz FSB deal. What I really want is variable voltage fan speed control for the CPU and case fan plugs on the board. Problem is, it's nearly impossible to decipher which boards...

    Sparkle card good for you American Joe!

    OK, I just spent a few bucks and upgraded some stuff on my AMD PC this week. One part of note was the video card, which I think is neat because I had never heard of the brand before last weekend when I saw it on Newegg for $55 with free shipping. It's made by "Sparkle Computer," which...

    LOgitech pad on clearance at Target

    I saw the Logitech Dual Shock cordless pads for PC knocked off 50%. Great PC pad, I play with one. The only drawback is no analog buttons.

    True Crime LA soundtrack help

    First off, don't laugh at me for playing this game...I'm just now getting around to it and it actually looks pretty good on my HDTV. Trouble is I can't get the custom soundtrack to work. I've selected a few of my own in the Audio-Cruising menu, and yet the game just refuses to play them...

    Chug-a-lugging on Morrowind

    Howdie, doodies. I am a few hours into Morrowind Game of Year for PC, and have been piddling around with the Morrowind Graphics Extender (MGE) mod. It rocks pretty hard, and did the two main things I wanted it to (render the game in 720p widescreen, and increase the draw & fog distance), but it...

    DLA compatibility on burner brands

    Very specific question here, so apologies in advance... I was considering picking up a new DVD burner since they're so cheap right now, and was looking at the two below. I wonder if Pioneer and/or Lite On products are compatible with Sonic DLA software? I like DLA becuase of its drag and drop...

    Fanless ASUS 7600GS problem

    I'm curious if anyone else here has experience with the passive coolers on Asus brand video cards. I just bought a used 512 MB fanless Asus 7600GS off eBay, and was dismayed to find the heatsink quite loosely mounted. It's a big aluminum wraparound type, probably weighs a good 14 ounces by...

    Philips auto component switcher cheap at Wal Mart

    My local WalMart carries the Philips PH61150 component/s-video/A/V switch for $24.88. This thing usually retails for $35-40. I picked one up because I only have one component input on my Panasonic LCD. The damn thing works great, which was a pleasant surprise considering the hit-and-miss quality...

    VGA -> component cables

    I'm toying with the idea of hppking up my gaming PC to my Sony 34" HDTV. As nice as my 21" NEC monitor is, I would like to play PC games in widescreen aspect ratio when available. My Tv doesn't have VGA in, though. There are a bunch of eBay sellers hawking VGA out to component in cables, some...

    Boiling Point patch

    OK, picked up Boiling Point for $4 at Big Lots based on recommendations from folks in the Big Lots thread. I'm getting "invalid patch file" when I try to intall the Euro 2.0 patch. Is that because it's incremental, and I need the Euro 1.1 patch first, or is there a trick to making it work?

    Old Atari commercial

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Om84Zc4-KcQ Pretty funny that they only show about 5 seconds of game footage. And the "corporate executive" drvies a VW Rabbit. :D
