    Mechwarrior Online Open Beta Begins Next Week

    As both a beta tester and avid fan of this game I feel that I should make a statement: If you are interested in the game, by all means download it and play it to your hearts content on the 16th. But there are issues, which I will not list because it would be a disservice to what will be a...

    Your home town's claim to fame

    Batavia, City of Energy and home of the (now shutdown) Tevatron particle accelerator at Fermilab which was the largest particle accelerator in the world before the LHC went online.

    Is Skyrim Multiplayer possible?

    With the mod community around Bethesda games there's a very real potential PC Skyrim players to see limited multiplayer (though I have no idea what kind of technical limitations there are). I'd love to be able to invite a friend or two into a game and go dragon hunting, though a highly...

    Any good female comedians?

    Amy Schumer is probably the only female comic I really like, shes been on a few comedy central specials and I just find her hilarious.

    Your username and what it says about you.

    I just picked this name a long time ago because it seemed cool (and I use it for everything even slightly game related), but one day someone I was playing with commented on how our relationship with the internet and technology is a faustian bargain so now I can pretend I'm all...

    Games You'd Buy Twice

    I did that already, once for my xbox then when I moved away and my brother kept the console I bought it for the PC. It was better on the xbox though. Another game I'd buy twice is Diablo II but only because I can easily get the battlechest for $20.

    Onine Gamers crack AIDS enzyme puzzle

    http://www.foxnews.com/health/2011/09/19/us-gamers-crack-puzzle-in-aids-research-that-stumped-scientists-for-years/ But yeah crowd-sourcing with a computer game to solve protein folding problems is an awesome idea. It's even more awesome that the results are getting published in scientific...

    So what will gaming be like in 20 years ?

    Well I'll simply turn on my brain's wireless interface and ask a local AI to help me craft up a game, maybe something along the line of a turn of the century zombie survival scenario. Some friends will get an automated invite once I've finished building the game world and then we'll play through...

    building a computer, no video

    The video card might not be getting power, most new mid-high end cards wont work at all unless you have their 6/8 pin connector in. Other than that do what others have said already (eliminate other components as causes and try to figure out the beep code).

    What novel should they make into a game?

    I'd love to see a Sim City-esque game set in the Culture universe. Where the player is the mind in control of a GSV or Orbital and you get to do whatever you flippin' want with your world and people will still live there. Archipelago of floating mountains only traverseable by birdsuits? Sure...

    Poll: Best Evil A.I.

    HAL 9000, because he wasn't actually evil. He simply carried out conflicting orders to the best of his ability and developed a kind of neurosis. And really, all the best villains are crazy.

    How do you think First Contact will play out?

    We'll probably be visited by the hyper-advanced robots/artificial intelligences of some species which is most likely extinct by now. And they'll either wipe us out in order to construct more of themselves and move on or they'll settle down and teach us all there is to know about their creators...
