I'll try sending again.

The advantage to something like Backloggery is you can link to it.  So if a friend wants to play a specific game with you, they can just look it up and see what you both have in common (from reading, I can't recall if it has a list compare function). Actually, CAG has that kind of thing as...

"Not being Windows" doesn't make an OS secure. As the saying goes, security through obscurity is NOT security. I can use BeOS or something else very few people know about, but that doesn't, by itself, make it secure. And I'd kind of contest the claim that "Linux is secure" anyway. Security...

If anyone is playing Darksiders 2, I just finished the game and all the DLC. IMO, the DLC isn't really worth it: it was barely even worth playing, so don't feel you have to get any of it or worry about what is "best".  The Crucible is really good: they should have made THAT a DLC, or made...

FF8 was an oddity, not just in FF but among all JRPGs, in that you should be able to finish it at any level.  There are even "low level runs" where people try to complete it with as little xp as possible. I remember junctioning endlessly to max out my stack of "spells" which I'd never cast...

I can't secure Linux, because I don't really know anything about it.  I can secure Windows.  So I'll stick with Windows.

LOL I spent a ton of putting my info in that site a few years back, then forgot I did it. You could also use GameFAQs, they also have a game list.  Not sure what the options are.

I'd also say try out Neverwinter.  It's pretty good, and F2P. But if you have friends who play WoW, it's definitely the best MMO out there (too good, IMO: I stopped playing because I'd play WoW to the exclusion of any other games). GW2 I never found interesting.  I tried asking people what...

Check GotApex.com every day, they have really good deals on laptops.  If you work, also see if your job has any discounts deals, like with Dell or somewhere, sometimes they'll give a login for company discounts (but always compare to the vendor's ordinary sales). IMO, don't pay more than $500...

Ok, I sent a request.

I played Syndicate not too long ago... it's not very good (I'd go so far as to say it's rather bad). If you want a game like that, get Deus Ex Human Revolution. I played that shortly afterward, and it was a far better game in every respect. The stories were REALLY similar as well, oddly...

Just got around to playing this (yes, Humble Bundle). Any CAGs interested in doing some co-op?  Let me know.  I'm doing some playing tonight, might be on for a little while tomorrow as well.

Uninstall Norton, that stuff is garbage.  Stick with Win Defender for both anti-virus and anti-spyware, it's quite good, and it's free (and it's far better than anything from Norton or Symantec).

Yeah you're right, I didn't realize that. Oh well, maybe someday I'll see it on sale.

I have no idea if you HAVE to have Alice: Madness Returns... but I didn't, and I got the game for free. I used this link (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/American-McGees-Alice/064efb92-dc4f-4e09-8283-2ab35ad7ed73), but I think if you search for "American McGee" on the Xbox you might...
