Homer: I'd like the phonebook for Hokkaido, Japan, please. Librarian: Here you go. Homer: Thank you. May I use your phone, please? Librarian: Is it a local call? Homer: ...Yes. BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BOOP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BOOP BOOP BEEP BOOP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP...

I'm upgrading a Dell desktop that doesn't have AGP or PCI-e slots. Any recommendations for PCI video cards? I'm looking at the Radeon 9250 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814103167 and Radeon X1300 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814103016 , both with...

Double click the wireless icon in your system tray and check out the speed and signal strength. They should both be consistently high. How is your lag when you play using a wired connection?

The combat in Planescape was a disappointment after Fallout. The hack 'n slash battles seem clunky and random compared to the awesome tactical brutality in Fallout (nothing better than destroying someone's eyes with a well placed shot). The game's depth works against it, since I almost felt...

Are the Hori ones the best on DS? The Hori PSP protectors are pretty well liked...

The building I moved into has free wifi for tenants. The thing is, I can only get a decent (20-60%) signal in the bathroom, which isn't really ideal. Even one step out of the bathroom makes the signal too weak to be useful. Is there a way I can boost the signal on my end, or just have it relayed...

Various sites list the sizes- I think gbatemp.net has them.

I'm not counting on a price drop anytime soon, but is it worth waiting to see if there are any end of the year deals (like free accessories)?

It's not a DVD, it's a thick booklet that comes inside a DVD case. This was given away free when FFXII launched. It's a neat extra to have, but please don't pay $15 for it.

So, EB/GS is doing first come, first serve with the PS3 and Wii?

Anyone know if the post-merger EB extended warranty has changed? EB's extended warranty used to rock, but did they adopt the GS one?

It's a SATA connection, but you can't swap a new one in. Each individual 360 disc drive is paired to that specific motherboard; if the identification is off, it won't work. There are ways to rewrite the firmware to let you do all kinds of stuff, but we're getting into pirate territory here.

Are you getting a core? I'd advise against that unless you got a free HDD or memory card somehow.

Anyone who thinks Sony will go third party and rely on Jak and ATV Offroad Fury to pay the bills is fucking terminally retarded.

"Sony going the way of Sega"? Bullshit. Sony is a hardware company first and foremost. They would never go software-only. They would go bankrupt and sell off all their developer studios first. These analysts are so stupid, they don't even have a shallow grasp of the situation.
