I stayed away from MySpace, and even Facebook as well for about a year after my wife started her profile and invited me. I finally made a profile and have liked FB pretty well.

He joined the Wildcards Cavalry just before I did and we played a lot of games together back then. You had ...

Far Cry is a lot like Soldier Of Fortune. It's a pretty linear game, so you don't spend much time trying to figure out where to go next. It's pretty buggy for multi-play tho. I really enjoyed the solo-player game and would highly recommend it for that alone. One of the things I liked best about it ...

Getting back into the car may have not had much to do with it. I'd wager that all the tugging on her sweater built up the charge. Sweaters are major ESD generators. Good stuff.

I've completed the Alpha Labs portion on Veteran. I really like it, really getting into it. People are complaining about it being dark, but that's just part of the story IMO. Use the flashlight a lot. Hell, the place gets trashed by monsters and the lights go out. Seems logical to me. :) This is ...

One of the best "bang for the buck" video cards is still a ti4200 IMO. I've been using one of those forever, just passed it down from my primary PC to my grandson's PC. Still a very good vid card. I played through Far Cry using that card (P4-2.63B with 2x512M Corsair). Played great, too. You can ...

Update...
Finished Far Cry on single player (medium diff) and liked that pretty well. I tried playing some multiplayer but it seemed pretty buggy. That would be fun on a LAN tho. I'm playing Deus Ex right now and like that one a lot. Definitely reminds me of System Shock 2. I like the way the story can change ...

Finally received my gift money, and ran out and picked up a PNY 6800 GT on Monday night. Only one in the store. They were out of stock of the X800 as well - which is outselling the 6800 GT by about 4:1 or more from what the salesman was saying. I had to add $127 to the $300 gift money in total. The ...

Been doing some reading and I'm starting to lean in favor of the GeForce 6800 GT. Looks like the x800 pro would out-perform it, but that the 6800 GT might be a little better as far as the features it supports... geez, I was looking at the 6800 Ultra Extreme... the cooler on that thing is huge!

How would you spend $300 at CompUSA?
I am about to receive a $300 gift cert for CompUSA, and am going to upgrade my vid card. My current card is a ti4200. I'll be willing to add around $100 to this gift cert (maybe $200 if I thought it was really worth it), I figure this is a good opportunity to buy a vid card I wouldn't normally blow ...

Heh, yeah. Unreal 2 was pretty but short and boring. Far Cry is really good, but nothing I've played comes close to Deus Ex. I dont know if older games are your thing, but its simply stunning so its definitely worth a look. You should be able to find it for cheap. It has a convoluted, far-reaching ...

Worth Upgrading 2.66 (533) to 3.0 (800)?
I just upgraded my motherboard from an MSI 655 board with 533 fsb to a Gigabyte 8IK1100 with 800 fsb. I had a lot of instability issues with that old mobo, and rather than try to RMA it I decided to just replace it with a better mobo. From all the bad things I've been reading about the SiS 655 ...
