I can almost see the meeting before hand... Executive: "Slow news day is it?" Drudge: "Very sir! May I lick your boots?" Executive: "Take your tongue off my boots, I'm not wearing any...Now go onto the information super high way and find me a story!" Drudge: "Of course sir! Right away!"...

If you're looking to check the specs on a card versus another card try using GPUReview. It's a site that allows you to look at the specs of two cards side by side so you can see where each one out-performs the other. If you're not technically minded though I'd recommend getting yourself a...

Hmm...interesting thought really. Our government bandies about the slogan of multiculturalism so often that you'd hope we weren't all significantly more racist than other countries. That being said though...our two major telecommunication providers (Telstra and Optus) have a bad habit of...

I always though they were 'Isometric Dungeon Crawlers'...that could just be shortened to dungeon crawler I suppose but it's in an isometric perspective.

This is probably going to get me flamed but I'd peg Far Cry 2 as my favourite multi-player FPS. The huge battlefields with thick scrub and plenty of hiding places just screamed "Guerilla Warfare" which is something I found really refreshing after more twitchy FPS games. There was/is a real...

First decree? "As you were people, as you were..." Our internet would be boring without all the crap that goes with it. Show me a man who truly wants a clean, sterile, tolerant and reasonably well educated internet and I shall show you a figment of your imagination. Second decree though...

There is so much win in that statement,

Win +10, OT: They're a band that helped create a sub-culture, or at least define it, because of that they're never going to escape the 'emo' stigma...well, unless they did a total about face and started making more songs about topics besides "my feelings are hurt".

Yeah, that's kinda what I was driving at when I said that the games "it tends to go south as soon as 'guest' characters are introduced." When I said SC2 was good I meant in terms of what it brought to the table for the fighting engine. I agree that Link, Heihachi, Spawn etc were unbalanced and...

Soul Calibur is a great fighting series in itself, but it tends to go south as soon as "guest" characters are introduced. SC1 was brilliant, I think everyone can agree on that. SC2 introduced new mechanics that became intergral to the fighting system (advantage/disadvantage, GB moves...

"The story takes place in the rebuilt New Manhattan" Wait...what? It was Neo-Tokyo after the World War III wasn't it? That's a rather odd artistic liberty to take considering the characters names still sound Japanese... Also I pity whoever gets Tetsuo's role in the end, they're gonna spend...

You have love how Tom's letter isn't even gramatically correct...let alone logically, legally or morally.

In answer to the OP I'd say that Family Guy is out to please the widest audience possible. You commented that the recent shows are well animated and acted but the jokes fall flat, I would argue that the writing has stayed fairly consistent but the shows budget has increased. The animation has...

General tip for Fallout 2 is to invest in small guns and pick up the Gauss Rifle near the end of the game. Thing packs enough wallop to castrate deathclaws and lobotomies aliens. Also for all 3 games stealing is useful, in tactics particularly where you can rob people of everything but the...

I know I'm gonna get flamed for this...but am I the only one who thinks that supporting 'quick-scoping' is basically pandering to a glitch? My impression was that CoD is supposed to be one of these gritty, twitchy & semi-realistic FPS series (I say semi for obvious reasons). I can guarantee...
