    What are you playing now? [2007-2018]

    I had a Game for Windows Live problem when I first tried Bulletstorm. I am not sure what fixed, but it started working after I installed Bioshock 2. Doesn't make sense, but that is what happened. Jim

    *spin-off* Importance of Backward Compatibility Discussion

    Well, not exactly COD but Gameloft has the Modern Combat series for IOS and android. There will be other options, whether people will use them is another story.

    Good Desk Chair under $200

    I have that Serta Manager chair, and I do not recommend if it is going to be used a lot. The cushion does not hold up that well.

    NVIDIA Kepler speculation thread

    It more of a localized heating, as you stated when the room with your pc is warmer. Myself, I have never noticed any big increase in heat in the rooms I have kept my pc in. Ijust have never noticed the amount of heat that would be required to effect anything else except that room.

    NVIDIA Kepler speculation thread

    I do not agree with this. I would think that your thermostat would have to be almost on top of you pc for this to happen. So in a ranch style house if your pc is in a bedroom and the thermostat is in the hallway, or near the livingroom, I would think it would not have much if any effect. Now I...

    Bicycle!

    I live in Columbus now, and central OH must be one of the flattest places around. I grew up in the Cleveland area, and it was not this flat. I lived in Birmingham, Al for a while and I would not want to ride a single speed bike there.The hills where the outlaws live are pretty tough when I run...

    Upgrading PC need advice please

    I do not think you can do this, a 20 amp plug will not fit into a 15 amp outlet.

    NVIDIA GF100 & Friends speculation

    I normally don't take part in these theads, but I don't think that a graphics card will have much, if any effect on the electric bill due to heat generation. Usually a thermostat is placed somewhat centrally in a house, mounted say about 5 feet up. I have never seen a computer set up anywhere...

    *spin-off* NPD to no longer release HW/SW sales numbers

    I also wish that this will come true. I never understood how people can take these numbers so seriously. Jim

    What are you playing now? [2007-2018]

    Playing Oblivion right now ( kind of late, but you can't play them all new). It is like Fallout 3, but with swords and magic. :smile: I am not normally a hack n slash kind of guy, but I thought I would try it for $20. Now I am thinking of trying Dragon Age. I played both Mass Effect games, and I...

    Halo: Reach

    I picked it up at Walmart when I got off work at 4 am. My son will like the knit REach cap that came with it, and my wife will like the $20 Walmart gift that also came with it. My son and myself will be playing some co-op after he is done with homework. Jim
