    Adios PowerPC, Apple gets in bed with Intel

    You make the mistake (like a lot of people) by assuming that it will be an x86 processor. Intel has been experimenting with 64-bit ISAs for quite a long time. It's very unlikely that Apple will be running on x86 chips. Right now, most people are guessing that it will be some variant of the...

    New Family Guy tonight on Fox

    I feel like American Dad is sucking the quality away from Family Guy. These new Family Guy episodes have all been extremely scattershot. I realize that part of the Family Guy humor is all the random references that get thrown in, but I think the new episodes have been abusing this to a new...

    Webcams - Eh?

    If the picture is accurate, then I got two of these (refurbished) to chat with my GF on AIM. They work fairly well for cheap webcams. The only real issue I've seen is that the color tends to be inaccurate (but I expect that will be a common problem with all cheap cameras due to their crappy...

    Help with Devil May Cry 3

    In general, the secret to DMC is to be cautious. Despite all of the cutscenes telling you what a bad-ass you are, the easiest way to win is still divide and conquer. Try to trap enemies against walls for deadly comboing. Keep yourself away from the majority of the enemies if you can help it...

    Battlecruiser Millennium is now freeware

    It's the Desktop Commander! Actually, this brings up a good question. Is Derek Smart still making "games?" I haven't heard of any Coke machines being attacked in the news recently.

    Which console do you *regret* buying?

    That describes me exactly. I bought a GBA a couple months before the GBASP was announced. I've always regretted my GBA since I don't use it that much. But I really regret not waiting and getting an SP. I also regret purchasing Golden Sun as my first GBA game. I don't know what all the...

    how long does the pS2 memory card saves last.

    Well, to be perfectly pedantic, technically, they won't hold their saves forvever. Even though Flash memory is "static," there are still leakage currents, thermal diffusion, etc. So in reality, it wouldn't be surprising to find a memory card failing after 10-15 years, just due to simple...

    Odd (good?) pawnshop find

    I'd definately recommend playing through the first disc before deciding if you like it enough to buy the full game. Personally, I bought it full price during a draught in PSX RPGs, and I completely regretted it. The game flow didn't do it for me. I found it to be an extremely tedious leveling...

    Now and Then, Here and There: Complete Series for $22

    Damn, I loved this series. It's so simple and honest. Seeing a lone kid, completely outnumbered, putting up a fight with nothing but a stick ... I think there's a rare beauty in something like that. Anyway, I might have to grab this.

    Looking for some high quality ear buds

    This is a little OT, but is there a place that you guys go to try out these headphones, or do you just buy them based on the reviews you see? Every BB, CompUSA, etc, store that I've gone to has only had crappy basic headphones for sale. I've never been able to find anything like the kinds of...

    Old School Deal at GameCrazy- 3 for $15, ALL classic games 4/28-End of May

    Are you sure you're asking about DQ8? From the early reviews, DQ8 is incredible, and will probably end up being the best game of the series. But it's not due in the US until Nov. (and it's for the PS2). If you're really asking about DQ7, it's a decent old-school RPG with a huge amount of side...

    Break-ups are hard to do....

    Whatever, I can see that it's pointless to argue with you, since you are incapable of listening to other points of view. Language is about communicating ideas. NSFW does not mean anything in its self. What people assume is safe and not safe for work is based on personal interpretation. If...

    Break-ups are hard to do....

    I don't see your logic here. Nothing about, NSFW, only 18+, etc. implies anything hostile or unpleasant. You are correct that NSFW is a warning, but it's a warning about what is appropriate for the workplace, NOT a warning that the content might horrify or disturb. Your argument is a strawman...

    God of War

    Those bastards at gamefly sent me a scratched disk, so I played up to the "Temple of the Oracle" and now I can't load the next level. Arghh! So I ended up picking up Phantom Brave at EB so that I have something to do while I wait for gamefly mailings. life is so hard.

    We made a black hole?

    I understand how Relativity works. My point is that this is already happening. When astronomers point their telescope to a star 1000's of light years away, or look at an object near a large gravitational field, they are already observing it in it's time-dialated state. So while what you...

    We made a black hole?

    You're not really understanding what I wrote. The Theory of General Relativity has been proven in much the same way that Newton's Theories were proven. It is a known FACT (not a "belief") that time dialates in the presence of gravity. Not only have we have done experiements to illustrate that...

    Anyone else seen the new Family Guy episode?

    Here's another vote for FFDShow. It does everything, and it comes with a nice GUI so that you can actually configure your codecs, instead of just just d/ling "codec packs" and having everything conflicting with each other at the end.

    We made a black hole?

    The "strange reason" is called Einstein's Theory of General Relativity, and it's not a "belief," but a proven fact. Actually, Relativity and Quantum Mechanics are the two most proven theories ever devised (meaning they have been verified to more accuracy than any other theories). In this case...
