I have a 3.0 ghz p4, 1024mb ddr, 6800gt 256mb, sb audigy2, etc. I`ve always ran 1024x768x32bit@85hz(sp?) , well not always but recently with this setup. I use some fsaa etc. But I always want to run higher resolution, but I like to have the same res/refresh rate for games and desktop etc. Here`s the question, what`s a resolution that popular and most if not all games support it? That`s why I stick with this. Every single game I`ve played in the last 5 years support this res. If i don`t stick with the same res, I have to always re-center the image on the monitor, and I`m lazy :wink: . And obviously I don`t wan to go to high, cuz then when something comes out more taxing...I`ll have to readjust everything. I know that a wierd request/question...but nevertheless does anyone have any ideas/answers? Thanks.

Well seriously though...I`ll play both sides here. There`s plenty of I hate/love steam threads around so I won`t do that. I`m sure some people have issues with steam just like anything else out there. I`m sure some people don`t, just like anything else out there. Steam isn`t perfect, it`s nice to have easy patching through it but it is still cumbersome IMHO, but it certaintly NOT the devil like some make it sound. Have you used steam? If not, how do YOU know what it`s like? I`d hate for someone to miss a game like this, because of these reasons...Game this good only come out every few years. I`d think about it before you do it, that`s all. I`m certainly not going to try and change your mind. But I would think more about it, since you have to wait anyways. Just my opinion, Later.

Nice one :wink: . I`ve done similar things, even worse. I shall not speak of them. :oops:

One more review is up. http://gba.gamespy.com/nintendo-ds/wario-ware-ds/587485p1.html 4.5 outta 5 is good stuff!


Pros
It's more WarioWare!; seriously, do you know how addictive these games are?
Cons
 Slightly fewer microgames than the original; the unlockable goodies are kinda lame.

The WarioWare series is really the ideal portable game -- they're incredibly easy to pick up and play for two minutes, but engrossing enough to keep you occupied for hours.

I`m even more sold!

Did anyone watch tonights episode??? Holy shit. Best time I`ve ever spend in front of a TV, other than video games :wink: .

As long as Michael "No one else will hire me since Ed went off the air" Ian Black is part of those VH1 retrospective shows, I refuse to watch.  I don't think there is a less-amusing "comedian" (and I use that term loosely) alive.  I've never seen anyone so smugly impressed with their own cleverness.

 I`m wasn`t really a fan of him, let`s say. But he did grow on me. SOme things he says are funny. For me at least.

LOL. I guess that would sound confusing if you didn`t know it was a show and that was the title. It`s on friday at 11pm I think on vh1. They also reair it all through the week. Seriously... if you watch you WILL like it. Well , you sure as hell should :wink: .

LOL rage we are back to 78 items I believe :wink: . BTW, are you grabbing this on XBOX or PC? If you aregrabbing the xbox one and you have Live! and if this turn sout good...we`ll have to play some MP stuff. My gamertag is Harpua3. Later.

IGN gave it a 8.5 and gamespot gave it a7.5. There`s alot of glowing reviews of it out there. I`m still grabbing it. It`s like everything I expected.

Gamespot gave it a 7.2 actually, citing that the "touching" is repetitive and "boring" and the game is very short. "With the constant poking, dragging, and drawing these contests throws at you, it's easy to get good at them awfully fast. If you're cool under pressure, were any good at the previous WarioWare games, and are handy with a stylus, you'll get through the entire game in around an hour and a half."

I think I'll pass on this one.

 I`m not trying to convince you about anything, and now that is out of the way :wink: . Sorry you`re  correct about the 7.2 instead of 7.5 my bad. Not much of a difference IMHO though. Anywho...with the gba wario ware games I beat it really fast too,and I`ve had it for a year or more, and I still play it!!! ALOT!!!
 Plus these guys over at gamespot are NUTS!!! Wario ware for gba pretty much was the same thing over and over again too. Press A, or press left then right and so on.
 I agree it`s like tetris etc. you don`t quit when you beat it. It`s just fun to play over and over and over again.
 I`m not usually thinking like this but ...gamespot seems to dislike two things, xbox and ds. For what reason I do not know( I could certainly guess though). I always look at gamerankings and go by that. Plus I have watched the movies for this game and it looks just like I`d imagine. And I`m assuming it will play just like that too. I`ll be grabbing this tomarrow if I can find it, I`ll post back when that happens. Later.

Plus these geforce 6 cards are nice!!!

I didn`t want to sound like I hate ATI, I certainly don`t. i had a 9800pro before this 6800gt...I liked both. But the switch across from ATI to Nvidia can go smooth and then not so smooth without a reinstall etc. Some people I`m sure would agree with both sides. I`ve seen both happen. Anywho...If you have and like nvidia and you wanna stick with it, that`s one less problem that *could* pop up. That`s all.

Nice to know there`s a few of ya out there :wink: .

:? I`m more confused by your latenight response that my late night post :? . :wink:

In two days or so I`ll post impressions on this stuff.

This show is easily one of my favorites. Anyone else out there interested in this show like I am. I don`t get it really. i`m not usually into pop culture stuff this much. But that show is damn fun to watch for some reason. I`m a huge fan of that doug benson guy and pretty much the majority of the people on there are funny. Good stuff indeed. Does anyone else just eat this show up like I do? :wink:

I have no lcue what was in that needle. But I know I CAN`T wait `till tomarrow for more 24!!!

Our dog had some other issues recently but I won`t ever begin to get into this :cry: , but seems to be doing really good recently . Hopefully this continues.
 But anywho, we had our dogs teeth cleaned only because he was already getting something else done that required him to be put under. I`d ask the vet all kinds of questions just to be safe. Ask, ask, and ask more. It never hurts.

Ya, the lowest difficulty has "built in" help. Like telling you what button to use and when during a swordfight.

.BTW, I hate to tell you this...but when you do get this and install it...you`re still using steam and it still takes awhile :shock: . I just thought I`d prepare you for this :wink:

As long as it doesn`t take forever and it isn`t buggy, they can take their time and get it right :wink: .

Same here, that`s exactly what it looks like to me.

IGN gave it a 8.5 and gamespot gave it a7.5. There`s alot of glowing reviews of it out there. I`m still grabbing it. It`s like everything I expected.

8 left WOW!

Sorry I didn`t mention that. I`ve on too late and in rare form :? .
 They gave it 9.3

 Great visuals, gameplay,sound, pretty much you name it they liked it.
 I`m better off posting it tomarrow when I`m actually awake :wink: .

18 things left!

I wouldn`t quite say this... "Wow, I'm glad I didn't buy a DS."
 
 At least I wouldn`t and don`t.
 I have M64DS and it rocks. Next week wario ware is out. Another great title. Then there is animal crossing(SWEET!), lost in blue, Metroid, a few 3d zeldas I`m sure, viewtiful joe, etc, etc, etc. I don`t see what there is to be angry about.
 I`d rather see someone try to do new things. Otherwise we just play the same game over and over again.

 Noone seems to remember the ps2 launch games...icky. :wink:

Nice. I`ve probably seen Phish 15 times through the last 10-15 years. Not many :cry: . Do you happen to play anything? Just curious. Later. BTW, thanks I`ll check out that stuff.

Well, after just a quick testdrive they both are good. SC looks ALOT better than the last cs game I think. I think its 480p and it really is a step up from the last game. And the new gameplay stuff is really welcome. Random cool things about this game: New knife attack, New moves involving throwing people from below by grabbing their legs, Great new nightvision etc, co-op over live!, spy vs merc gameplay from SC:PT but with new gameplay additions etc. Good stuff.

 And the UC2. I did like it but something made it feel kinda like an old PC game ot me, albiet with additions and great visuals. Something just seemed lacking...I don`t know maybe I`m just old and it`s too fast or something :oops: . I plan on playing it a bit more still though, I`ll check it tomarrow when I`m less tired and see how it goes and report back :wink: . Later.

I like this one alot. I`m not usually a big fan of turnbased stuff but this is lots of fun for me.

I was just wondering. There seems to be a huge variety of people thast posted at gonegold and that currently post here. I figured there had to be a few :wink: . If so, do you know any good place to grab shows of good quality? I haven`t looked into this for a long time and I`m just looking to get back into burning LOTS O MUSIC! :wink:  Later.

Splinter cell:CT
 Unreal championship 2
 I`m going to check these out and I`ll post impressions. From what I`ve heard so far both of these are great. We`ll soon see!

I just looked at that. I`m REALLY looking forward to this.

It  is. But it shouldn`t be .

I think he meant it sucked, not that it sold poorly.

Go to www.gearboxsoftware.com and look up :wink: , it will say blank number of items to be completed etc. I`m also burnt out on World war 2 games for a bit, BUT...This looks awesome. The reason why COD rocked on the PC and sucked on the Xbox and other consoles wasn`t because were burnt out on WWII games but rather the console games sucked. This is a cross between full spectrum warrior and COD. Look here http://xbox.ign.com/articles/579/579774p1.html, tell me that MP doesn`t look and sound great.

Dude, Dell may be better, but not by much anymore :wink: .

One more thing to consider is if you go from nvidia to nvidia I would assume your chances of running into issues would be less. Just thought I`s toss that out there :wink: .

If you check this out-->http://www.gearboxsoftware.com/ they say how close this game is to being done! Getting there!!!
 Here are some sweet movies that show the potential of this... http://xboxmovies.teamxbox.com/xbox/1619/Developer-Overview-HiRes

 Check it out! I`m suprised more threads aren`t about this game. I hope it delivers.

I don`t want to sound like an ass :oops: ...but do you think that maybe she is over-qualified for these positions? It seems like that happens alot, or so I`ve heard. Just a wild idea of mine :wink: .

Ok here`s the deal. My wife likes the show and I watch it will her from time to time. She fills in the gaps so I know what`s going on. My interest has grown in this show. But...I finally put my finger on what I don`t like about it. They really don`t ever give you any clues about what`s going on. Most shows like this leave alot of questions to be answered but they give you hints, even if they are false. Lost doesn`t really throw any bones. They don`t ever attemp to explain anything so far(IMO). For me, there really isn`t any incentive to watch because I`ll know I`ll be just as clueless at the end of this episode as last. That sums it up for me :wink: .
