[quote name='Rocko']I might start Mass Effect even though I have no idea what the gameplay is like at all. :whistle2:k[/QUOTE]

From what everyone seems to have told me, it plays Exactly like Star Wars: KOTOR.

Never played KOTOR, so I wouldnt know, The story is strong and the Combat is fluid, but the most frustrating part of the game is when you're driving the MAKO.

Give it a try, it's a really great game.
 
Decided to call up Amazon...didn't go so well. I got the "we'll forward this to our marketing department and they'll contact you via email to you let you know if they can apply the promotion"

Shit, they better apply it or give me a refund and a pre-paid shipping label.
 
The covers for Fallout 3 on the PC and the 360 don't match on Xbox.com. :whistle2:s

Sort of like KOTOR - it's real time, but you can pause to issue commands or to use your pseudo-Force powers.

If you want to play it as a straight-up shooter, you can do it that way; I had more fun with the Adept class.
 
[quote name='corrosivefrost']Unless the unit is some sort of lemon, hardware-wise, most of the reviews are probably less relevant if you can, and do, flash it with something like dd-wrt.[/QUOTE]

Aight.

Also, my friend says "Get a Dual Band Wireless N. That's where its at." Is this really necessary, or will it make much of a difference?

Honestly, one of my concerns is that I don't see a drop in performance from what I have now. I currently have (well, had, as of last night) this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833127073&Tpk=wbr-2310

I would assume that any of the WRT54G series should be better than that.

Only if you're wireless card has N capabilities
 
So what's wrong with Vizio tvs? Are they just a crap company?

I ask because Dell has a 32" LCD for $330 w/free shipping. I might do that and get a new computer while I'm at it.

Wal-Mart Vizios were(are?) crappier compared to Vizios from other places.


[quote name='zewone']Mangthang did you finally get that GC?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, I'm sending them out today
 
[quote name='manthing']Only if you're wireless card has N capabilities[/QUOTE]

Yup. And if you plan on hooking your PS3 or 360 to it wirelessly, you're probably dealing with G, if not B, but definitely NOT N... so keep that in mind too (though I'd assume most N routers have the other protocols, much like how g routers usually support b, etc.)

Yeah, the N routers I've seen support B and G. Both my PS3 and 360 are hooked up via ethernet, so that isn't an issue.
 
[quote name='prmononoke']Link to such reviews? Budge said he hasn't had any problems with it.[/QUOTE]

Once you have flashed it with DD-WRT the only problem I can see is that it doesn't have any antennas on it, so it will lack just a bit of range.

While a Dual Band N router would be nice, Wireless N isn't even an established standard yet, so it will be likely to change specifications over time before it becomes standard.

Overall, I would just save the money and go with ideally a WRT54GL, since they seem to be the nicest out there.

I just recently got a Asus WL-520Gu router to take to school with me, because it was cheap, had fairly good reviews and I can flash it with DD-WRT. However, I haven't gotten to test it out yet.

[quote name='Rocko']Hm. I've never played KOTOR since I never an Xbox.[/QUOTE]

KOTOR is the best original xbox game.

[quote name='seanr1221']Mass Effect > KOTOR > KOTOR II

All 3 are good though.[/QUOTE]

KOTOR >> Mass Effect >>>>> KOTOR II
 
The reviews were on Newegg. The GL is reviewed much better, and has won their consumer choice award 26 times (seriously).

They finally announced a date for finalizing the standard? I thought they still didn't have one.

Well cool then. Thanks.

I told my g-ma and I think she might go halfzies on a TV/PC from Dell for my b-day.
 
What did you think of the new Naruto, Moxio?

I liked it a lot. First time it's been more enjoyable than One Piece for months. :x
 
Do the mixed classes in Mass Effect suck dick?

I'm not sure if I want to do Adept or Vanguard (mix of adept and soldier). Are there any classes that suck and I should avoid?

I hate making these decisions because I'm never sure if I'll choose a class that ends up to be really shitty.

It was eh. I legimately hate Sakura's character so any time I see her in the manga I get very cross. I like the kages meeting, I'm interested in seeing what Sasuke will do.

I'm not the one paying for it, since it will technically belong to my parents. They basically said they'd pay however much, so that's not really an issue.

I'm still deciding what to get, but I have some ideas. My friend, who actually went to school for this stuff, is going to meet me tonight and help me decide.

Thanks for all the help, by the way (and everyone else who has given input).

Yeah, I saw that. 26 times is the most I've ever seen. Pretty insane.
 
SeanRo??no, hook me up with some Steam currency so I can power up my garden to fight the infestation of zombies on my property.

She definitely isn't the best. What I liked was
the younguns deciding that Sasuke had finally gone too far and needed to be stopped. Should be interesting in the future.

Wait and buy it on XBLA.
 
Would you go so far as to call Politico a "piece of shit" because they staff a gossip reporter that goes onto MSNBC to discuss important stories such as rumors about a possible Chelsea Clinton wedding, Liquid 2? :cool:

Sorry for stating what everyone already knows, but...

Your opinions suck.
