Been watching the walkthrough via EpicNameBro's youtube channel. I'm an older gamer and these days I'd rather live vicariously through other gamers, especially non-blind playthroughs as I enjoy seeing all the secrets and junk. But in the case of this game, I'm wanting to pick it up for PC...

The RNG weighs more to you getting rares the first time you kill a boss, but there's zero guarantee. I went to help a friend do Act III last night and I think I picked up something like 12 rares on the bridge run in a 45min playing session. Logged onto a low level mage and got a Legendary item...

Try in about 6 days of playing casually. In that time the wife and I have hit and gotten achieves for ALL the random dungeons and events in normal. Even now it's become apparent that the entire game has been designed from the ground up to force you to buy gear off the AH instead of going and...

During my reading of the 3dfx history, which was very concise btw, I got to the bolded part quoted below and was reminded of something I hadn't thought of in years. Wasn't 3dfx suing Nvidia over some earlier patent infringement? Anyone remember what was going on with that, wasn't that case...

Thanks for the heads up wanted to make sure it wasn't me losing my mind or my hardware. Thought I had noticed it when playing DVDs on my PC as well. PowerISO also works fine plus it's got a bit more utility as I can create an ISO file, mount it in Sun's VirtualBox, add files to the ISO on...

Anyone else experiencing diagonal scrolling lines using Windows Media Player (the version included with Windows7) when playing videos? I'm not getting it if I use VLC. I see it with any type of video (DVD, Divx, Xvid) Was able to take a screen shot and cropped it down. Enlarge it up and...

I have. Actually several different reports regarding modularity have been sent from my end regarding different portions of the superbar.

That's my major major complaint, if they're going to push this new "superbar" onto us I would LOVE to see it modular and completely customizable. Again, I detest having my "show desktop" button be on the right hand side of the bar and locked in position, it makes no sense other than someone...

Few weeks back had ESET Security Suite go into a crash loop which was locking everything up and opening up about a bajillion error report screens. Seems changing a security setting in Win7 caused soemthing ESET wasn't too thrilled about. Had to safe mode it and change it back. In my case I...

Had mine bluescreen just a few days ago on a restart. After the auto-re-restart, it did a file check, reported corruption of system files and then it did a roll back to about a week previous which only took out a game install. After re-installing the game to see if that was what caused the...

Oops sent a PM asking Rys but didn't know we could just outright ask here, would like it if I could get mine changed to Riptides ?

5.4GB so far. I used my Vista (user/name) folder and copied it over to Win7 and all I had to do was install VirtualBox and fire it up and within a few minutes had a shared folder setup for transferring my files between my WinXP and Win7 installs. I didn't need to mess with anything else...

Fixed by doing a clean install and using the ATi Windows 7 Beta Drivers. Also using Windows Live Mail, it looks.. well.. I won't say, but imported everything from my store folder just dandy.

*backed up everything first. **understand it's beta. I went ahead and did a Vista Ultimate x64 SP1 to Windows 7 x64 Upgrade, not clean install. Now I'm getting an issue where Catalyst Control Center is not only not starting but I cannot uninstall CCC nor overwrite the ATi drivers using...

Was two days not enough?
