What are you getting back as a reponse? Is it saying the username/password are incorrect or something else. Try having the problem websites do a reset with the passwords.

Looks like 12 mins from a straight to video movie thats trying to look cooler than it is. I'm not a MK fan but I don't see what this has to do with it besides I guess they use character names from the game.

Meh...

Looks Like Wardell/Stardock have thrown in the towel against STEAM and are selling while they can get something for it.

I thought Dirt 2 had a similar mix of multi-car and solo events in SP compared to the first one.

for as much hate as they seem to get it hasn't stopped them from having a record year in 2010.   their overhead is insane though (or maybe it's not overhead but some other term), because after making $9.47 billion in sales they only have a net profit of $408 million (which was yet another record for them).

Pretty commmon sales vs profit for a company that operates brick n morter locations. Its expensive to run physical locations.

the only problem now is knowing how long it probably be before book six...

I'm kinda hoping the big reason behind these 2 books taking so long was that he didn't plan to do Feast or Dance originally and he ended up having to come up with stuff to fill them out. 

Pretty sure he's said the series was meant to be like 6 books. Thats surely changed now that he broke what was originally book 4 into two.

Put many hours into Battlefield 2. Have to try this out to see if it still holds up.

Same Q6600 here and havn't even thought about doing an upgrade. The 460 is a solid card to get. I'd go with the full 1GB version, worth the extra dollars IMO.
172  Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / Re: Medal of Honor 2 on: February 19, 2011, 08:10:50 AM
I guess they have to keep trying, but I just don't think they can make a game that will crack that upper tier of CoD, Halo and Gears like they wish Medal of Honor would. Battlefield has a better chance IMO.

You can also get the whole lot of Square published games for like $90. Theres a bunch of games in the pack.

Arnold was never a good actor, just the right guy in the right place with big biceps. Trying to in any way compare himself to Clint is laughable. The guy should just go do speaking stuff and maybe write an autobiography.

Also Predators was dumb.

The HP ENVY line is known as being a good Macbook Pro alternative for Windows. Pricer than others but they have the same nice aluminum body and quality components.

The new HP DMz1 or whatever its called with the new AMD Zacate cpu/gpu has been getting good reviews as sort of the premium netbook machine. It performs better than any Atom machine even ones with the ION graphics, with good battery life. Its a little higher than Atoms at $450 but seem well worth the cost in the long run.

Is there really a market for something like this in a world with a 3DS and everyone has a smartphone?

In the US I don't think there is, at least not any more than was for the original PSP. Also don't forget the popularity of the iPod Touch
179  Gaming / Portable Gaming & Apps / Re: PSP2 Revealed, Codenamed 'NGP' on: January 27, 2011, 02:47:55 PM
Glad there are 2 analog sticks but wish they were concave designs. Price will be very interesting for this. I don't think it can be any more than $250 in the US at least. The PSP hasn't been as popular here and I don't see people buying it if the think costs as much as a full PS3, especially with the continued rising popularity of smart phones.
180  Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Re: Spartacus Season Two on: January 22, 2011, 05:25:30 PM
Definitely seemed to ramp the sex up...even for Spartacus. Can't remember any girl on girl from the first season. Also the combat seemed diffrent in not quite the 300 style but "turned up to 11" I remember it as.

"Spencer noted the long life of the Halo franchise and pointed out that leaving such large gaps in between releases can be detrimental to audience engagement."


Translation: MS sees the massive sales CoD does every year and wants in on some of that.
182  Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / Re: Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo's 3D House of DS on: January 19, 2011, 06:52:26 PM
This pricing isn't at the level of the PS3 for $600 debacle of Sony but it is Nintendo going out of their affordable pricing image which they have pretty much always been. I believe after the first couple of months when all the fanboys get theirs the system sales slow considerably where Nintendo has to drop the price faster then they want too.

I had the same thing showing on those two deals then after going to a game page and coming back I noticed the Stalker deal showed, but not the GTA IV one, then when clicking on the individual deal pages the GTA IV one showed up for $9.99. Must be some glitch with STEAM.

Dunno if its because I bought so many games last year but this STEAM sale has been really disappointing IMO. Allot of frankly second tier games and allot of stuff I've seen on sale multiple times before. I spent over $100 last year but am sitting at only $7.50 spent so far.  icon_frown

You don't need a Chrome OS notebook to do that if you want. Any note or netbook /w Chrome installed can do it....thats my point. Why limit yourself. Also The Office "tick" is buried so far into the business world its going to take allot more to even budge it.
190  Non-Gaming / Hardware / Software Hell / Re: Google's Chrome OS on: December 20, 2010, 04:28:02 AM
Chrome OS seems like a good idea for Google(keep people in their world as much as possible), but I don't see the benefit to users that much. You can get the same experience simply by installing Chrome on any windows machine and you still have a full OS at your disposal. Honestly seems kinda pointless.
191  Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Re: Stargate Universe on: December 19, 2010, 03:56:06 AM
I think SGU was SYFY's attempt to "BSG the series" in terms of tone. I havn't watched more than the first half of season 1 and enjoyed it for the most part. The conflict with the people and from back home added nice tension. Didn't care for the stones device either but overall I liked it more than past SG's. I never could get into those series on a regular basis.

I wonder if the PS3 is struggling because Blu-ray is losing steam because of the way streaming movies and TV shows is taking off (or because of much cheaper Blu-ray players)?  It also seems like the Kinect has won the PR war with Move, and I think that's a huge deal for the future of both consoles.   

I doubt streaming has much to do with it. Most people are bandwidth capped. I think the cheaper Blu Ray players have more impact. I was able to get a Sony Blu Ray player for 1/2 the cost of a PS3.

Considering Netflix's streaming accounts for up to 20%of peak US bandwidth now I wouldn't discount the effect it could be having.

200  Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Re: UFC 121: Lesnar vs. Velasquez on: October 20, 2010, 02:50:34 AM
I don't. While I give credit to Lesner for taking the hits from Carwin he was seriously exposed as a weak striker technically. I believe if Cain has an opening he will finish Lesner and not gas himself out.
