FYI, the hard-copy of BF3 will require you to register it with Origin to play. I think the only EA game that is coming out soon that has explicitly said it won't be using Origin, or require Origin (unless you want to purchase digitally) is The Old Republic, and I think that is because BioWare...

Dreadnought Armor and Terminator Armor are different. I would say Dreadnought Armor wins this, since you don't have to be alive to rape ass with it. (Literally, they house caskets/coffins that wire the body to a neural system and inject the body with stimulants to allow the brain to continue...

Are you sure it was MDK and not Serious Sam? Serious Sam had headless enemies that ran towards you holding bombs and screaming. I don't remember this being in MDK.

This (these?) Also MineCraft :D

Team Fortress 2 Co-operation, Conflict, Many play styles, customization and collectibles. It's got a little bit for everyone.

In a D&D campaign my friend was playing, there were no Gods. We figured that the Clerics were actually just neutral evil con-men and their 'magic' required a supply of flash powder and bandages to be effective. Paladins were pretty much just fanatical zealots and considered Chaotic Evil.

I'd be a blacksmith. Preferably one of high enough talent to be creating beautiful, effective weaponry and armor for the most daring of adventurers. I'd have a magician friend/sidekick who would enchant my creations as well. We'd be approached by an evil tyrant and forced to make equipment for...

Robots. Robots do whatever I tell them to. Unless I tell them to think for themselves. Then I am fucked.

WoW is not money consuming. The cost of WoW is basically nothing for anyone with a job or half decent allowance. $15~ a month is the cost of seeing one movie, yet you are getting 720-744 hours of access to an entertainment source (assuming no sleep.) If you cannot find $15~ a month, you...

The Chrono Trigger mention is quite out of left field, but somehow passed the fences on this. When explaining to my friends that once I had gotten every ending in Chrono Trigger, that in any subsequent play-through I just ignored getting all of the optional characters, and always had a team of...

These actions, taken by publishers/developers as a method of recuperating loses due to the Used Game business model are not an act of aggression against the consumer, but a result of desperation. The money earned by a publisher/developer through a Used Game Sale is the equivalent of the money...

Uh, my post disappeared. But essentially the last line of this article is wrong. Canada has several providers that offer unlimited Broadband connections. They are just not the big telecom companies like Bell and Rogers. Teksavvy and Acanac are two that service Ontario, for example.

The last line is wrong. We have several ISPs that offer Unlimited Broadband. They just aren't the big telecom companies such as Rogers or Bell. Teksavvy [http://teksavvy.com/en/default.asp] and Acanac [http://www.acanac.ca/]

Try this (assuming you are using Windows 7) Control Panel > Device Manager > Network Adaptors > Your Ethernet Card, right click and go to Properties > Advanced Tab > Transmit Buffers, set the value here to 512 (should be default 256). Do the same for Receive Buffers This is sort of a...
