Kaidan is possibly the most reviled character in game history. lolz.. I disliked Jacob more than Kaidan. Basically anyone that whinges about their dad is out the airlock... its the freakin' Normandy, not Degrassi Junior High. *makes plans to re-do...  [Read More]

...what an epic trailer for a video game...wow. It's one of those extremely rare instances where the game is just as epic as the trailer lets on, and not just a bunch of fancy cutscenes :thmbup1: play it mang ;) ye'll like it! :thmbup1: mtfbwya...  [Read More]

He's referring to the recent USB flash drive support added to Xbox 360. they just added that recently?? It sucks having USB ports and not being able to maximise their potential. I remember my PS2 had them as well.. cheese knows what that was for :(...  [Read More]

Heathen! lolz. I'm a huge Forgotten Realms/Drizzt fan so I know what I'm missing out on! BG would look ridiculous on my current monitor, unless I played it in a tiny window. I cold try run it on my tablet pc I guess ;) She has been known about sin...  [Read More]

That's a nod to BG2. When using Hide in Shadows, Imoen says "now you see me, now you don't". Cool. I love little references like that :) I never played BG Series. There are factors that proclude me from playing the original games, but I'll...  [Read More]

cmon stinger, the CCC, even in lighter form is way too top heavy. Nvidia is getting on the bloatier side too mind you, you should be able to opt out of the 3DVision stuff on installation if you don't need it. At the end of the day, both sets of ca...  [Read More]

my native rez is anything up to 2048 x 1536 Well if you want to game at anywhere near that you really don't want to skimp too much on a GPU - The 5770 should definitely be your minimum starting point. Speaking of high rez outputs... almost exactly...  [Read More]

What is your display's native rez Bill - that'd be the crucial factor for choosing between a 5870 and a 5770. The 5870 will better equip you for native HD gaming. Also, did you see those Asus mainboards that have inbuilt 5770 that I reported on in t...  [Read More]

I've definitely heard good things about it Billy. Its XFX after all ;) It also seems to sport the 8pin setups the pesky newer cards need. What GPU will you be powering ? The 5 year warranty on it should keep you covered long enough until we all sta...  [Read More]
