1441  Non-Gaming / Hardware / Software Hell / Logitech Extreme 3D Pro USB Joystick? on: December 05, 2004, 11:26:09 PM
Saw this on sale at CompUSA for 19.99 after MIR.  I saw numerous reviews on the internet where buyers complained of calibration problems after a few weeks and that there is a downloadable calibration fix on the Logitch support website that none of the reviewers mention.  

Does anyone have this joystick and can give an opnion?
1442  Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Help Diagnose this Car Problem on: December 05, 2004, 07:07:43 PM
My wife drives a 97 Toyota Camry automatic.  Yesterday, she was driving down the highway and then all of the warning lights came on and then the car died.  She came to a stop and was able to restart the car and drive home.  I don't know if this is related, but three months ago, we spent $400 to have the dealer redo the wiring in the trunk because the back lights weren't working.  The car battery is a 5 year old Sears Die-Hard.  

Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for the advice.
1443  Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / I Stopped Playing Sacred Today on: November 24, 2004, 01:26:21 AM
I remember a post about a month ago where the person said that they just didn't care anymore.  I feel the same way.  I had updated to the latest patch and my journal got broken.  I kept going anyway and got halfway through the quest where you need to find the four elements.  Just more of the same hack,hack, hack.  The side quests were all in the fedex vein and you didn't get any really good loot or a lot of experience points.  Just more of the same.  Boring.  I think the straw that broke the camels back were the quests that required you to go voer the same territory and to go to all four corners of the map.  Even with the portals activated, it was still a lot of been there, done that.

I really like Diablo 1+2 and even played the console Baldur's Gate, and Champions of Norrath games.  But Sacred just left me with the feeling that I wasn't getting anywhere.

I think that I am ready to move on to Pirates!
1444  Non-Gaming / Steals and Deals / My ToysRUs Buy 2 Get 1 Free Purchase on: October 27, 2004, 12:17:12 AM
The ToysRUs that I went to (Bethesda, MD) did not have the Shadow Hearts combo pack.
1445  Non-Gaming / Steals and Deals / My ToysRUs Buy 2 Get 1 Free Purchase on: October 24, 2004, 06:26:46 PM
Paper Mario
Tales of Symphonia
Shadow Hearts: Covenant

The video games section had only a few customers this morning.  I was expecting a mob.

What did you get?
1446  Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Hey lawyers (LSAT and GPA Q's) on: October 23, 2004, 11:30:54 AM
The best way to prepare for the LSAT is to purchase the sample/practice exams and take them under real exam conditions (This last part is the most important).  I took the LSAT way back when they were on the "48" scale, so I don't know how the scores correlate now.  

Also note that you may have a better shot at the national law schools that have very large 1L classes (Harvard, NYU, Georgetown, etc.) as opposed to the small law schools (Yale, Stanford) because those schools are large enough (400+ 1Ls per year) to want geographic diversity.  That means that you generally have a better shot if you are from the middle of nowhere, but a harder chance if you are from a big city with good schools.

Good luck
1447  Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / SWON or Wings of War? on: October 21, 2004, 10:16:54 PM
I have both games.  I finished SWON, but am just starting WoW.  While agree with the above posts that WoW is a better game technically, SWoN in my mind has more atmosphere.  The one thing that I really liked about SWON was the inclusion of exprimental planes.  If you ever wanted to take on ME262s with an experimental US fighter, SWON should not be missed.
1448  Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / What compelled you to go Console? on: October 17, 2004, 01:55:25 PM
Here are my reasons:

Ability to put console in the living room instead of going to the den to play games on the PC

Football games are better on the consoles

Consoles are more party gaming friendly (easier for two to play at once)

Interest in genres where consoles have the edge, particularly RPGs
1449  Non-Gaming / Hardware / Software Hell / How are Non-Epson ink Cartridges? on: October 17, 2004, 12:22:12 PM
I have an Epson CX5200 color all-in-one printer and am running ow on ink.  The Espon brand ink cartridges are pretty expensive and 123inkjets.com has an ink megapack for $45 that comes with 3 blacks, 2 reds, 2 blues and 2 yellows.  Anyone have any experience with non-name brand ink?  My primary use if for general office printing/copying and kids art projects.  I don't use it for color photos.

I remember a thread in gonegold forums a while back on the subject, but don't remember the consensus.  I would also be interested in any sources for cheap name-brand ink.  I think Amazon may have the best deal for Epson ink.

Thanks in advance for input.
1450  Non-Gaming / Hardware / Software Hell / Inkjet Printers on: October 17, 2004, 01:10:59 AM
If you primarily print in B&W, I would recommend getting a laser instead.  You can get a good one for less than $200 (Brother or Samsung) and the toner is a lot cheaper than ink cartridges on a cost/page basis (although the first toner cartridge will be pretty expensive compared to the first ink cartridge).
1451  Non-Gaming / Steals and Deals / NWN Platinum DVD on: October 17, 2004, 12:09:20 AM
Is the dvd version only available through gogamer? or will the usual suspects begin carrying it too?
1452  Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 on: October 16, 2004, 05:46:41 PM
I thought that they were about the same.  If you have a PS2, I would look into Champions of Norrath instead.  I think that it can be found for $20, or $15 if you do the Best Buy gamers gift card trick.
1453  Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / Why can't you download PS2 or Xbox demos? on: October 16, 2004, 01:47:50 AM
I heard about Halo2 being pirated and downloadable from the internet and began thinking, why can't you download PS2 or Xbox demos from the internet and then burn them to a DVD to be played in your PS2 or Xbox?  The demos on disks are the only reason why I buy some console gaming magazines, but the demo selection is rather limited.  I think that it would be great if there were a console demo library of comparable size to PC dem library.
1454  Non-Gaming / Steals and Deals / TRU B2G1 coming soon on: October 16, 2004, 01:43:49 AM
IMO, unless you have cash coming out of your eyeballs, you are better off getting the good $19.99 games in this deal.  Last year, I got three brand new games for $100, but 6 months later, all three were going for $19.99.   Besides, there are too many great games out there that you can't possibly have played them all before their prices stop dropping.  It seems that even for good games, you can get them for $29.99 or less within 6 months of their release.
1455  Non-Gaming / Steals and Deals / Received my $22 Sims 2 from JC Penney Today! on: October 16, 2004, 01:38:49 AM
Morlac,

How much is EBX offering for a used Sims 2?
1456  Non-Gaming / Hardware / Software Hell / Charity that Wants Used PDAs? on: October 15, 2004, 07:24:31 PM
Not really a problem, but I have a few old PDAs (3 years, old by pda standards) lying around and was wondering if there are any charities that would want them.  I called Goodwill and Salvation Army and they would just try to sell them in their thrift stores.
1457  Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / Do Grim Fandango and the Monkey Island Games Wrk in WinXP? on: October 15, 2004, 01:32:06 AM
My brother has them (the original releases with boxes and manuals, not the cheap jewel case version) and was I wondering if its worth my while to borrow them.  Can I get them to work in XP w/o a lot of hassles?

1460  Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / Is Sacred fixed after the 1.7 patch? on: October 13, 2004, 03:13:57 PM
Thanks for all the input.  I'll give it a try tonight.  Is there a recommended character for a newbie?
1461  Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / GameBoy Advance recommendations for my son on: October 13, 2004, 03:11:25 PM
I highly recommend the Mario Kart game for the GBA
1462  Non-Gaming / Steals and Deals / Received my $22 Sims 2 from JC Penney Today! on: October 13, 2004, 01:57:44 PM
This is a carryover from the gg forum, but I received my $22 copy of Sims 2 from JC Penney today.  It was shipped by UPS ground for free too.  Great Deal!
1463  Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / [xbox] Got KOTOR, now what?? on: October 13, 2004, 01:14:34 AM
One piece of advice, don't read any other forum threads other than this one so that you don't accidentally read any spoilers.  Also, don't read any previews for KOTOR 2 because a few of them have spoilers too.

Enough said.
1464  Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / Is Sacred fixed after the 1.7 patch? on: October 13, 2004, 01:02:16 AM
I know that there was a discussion about this in the gg forums, but I've been waiting for it to be fixed before starting.  Anyone care to revisit the past?

Thanks in advance for your help.
1465  Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / Pirates Limited Edition - Extra Content? (PC Version) on: October 11, 2004, 12:59:42 AM
I've never preoredered a game before, but I am seriously thinking about preordering Pirates (PC).  I noticed that the description of the LE on ebgames says that it comes with the original game and special mods available only on the LE.  Does anyone know if we will be able to run the original game on WinXP?  ALso, anyone know anything about the special mods?
1466  Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Is Gonegold.com down? on: October 10, 2004, 06:31:45 PM
I haven't been able to log on in a few days and was wondering what's going on.
1467  Gaming / Console / PC Gaming / Fallout BOS worth $30? on: May 23, 2004, 10:53:09 PM
I noticed that the price for Fallout BOS has come down to $30 at EBgames and FYE.  I know it wasn't worth $50, but is it worth $30?  Also, are there any insanely difficult jumping puzzles?  I hated that puzzle from the original BG:DA.
