You, sir, win all the internets that I can give you. OT: I guess TF2, that's my most played F2P game, although I'm no longer a free player strictly. After that, it'd probably be Crimecraft. I'm looking into getting into some of the ones mentioned in the thread though.

Solo is going quite well at the moment, but there are a few minor niggles. For starters, I get terrible static whenever I'm using my surround headphones, rendering it useless, the menu sensitivity is terrible, and menu navigation is quite clunky. That being said, I'm loving (nearly) every...

The harshness is quite a large amount of its appeal, at least for me. Sure, I get frustrated, but that only happens when I'm not immersed in the game. When I'm tense, eyes darting between the dark corridor barely lit by my flashlight, and my meagre health, with only the wind in my ears, and the...

This one makes me giggle uncontrollable.

I second Fraps. A few things to note are that it is somewhat resource intensive. I experience about 2-5% drop in frame-rate when running it, but generally that's not an issue. Additionally, because it doesn't compress the video/audio, your final files end up being massive (in the order of...

I'm looking at either a new tube amplifier for my guitar, a new guitar from Vietnam, a new keyboard, mouse or a Logitech G35 Headset.

I don't hate my ex. At least, not anymore. I mean sure, I had the same initial reaction that lots of people did, anger in reaction to it, which turned into hatred. But y'know, life goes on, and it sure as hell isn't going to wait up for me just because I'm feeling sorry for myself. That...

I love my analogue watches, but I usually break them, leading to the necessity for a digital one. The average lifespan of a digital watch for me is around a year, an analogue lasts maybe 6 months, if it's lucky.

Used to have a strat copy, currently have an Epiphone Les Paul, and am currently looking at an Orville Les Paul. I do love my Les Pauls. In terms of general electric guitars, my advice is to buy second hand. The first buyer will pay most of the depreciation, and then you can pick it up for...

I heard 64 on PC as well, but for consoles I was under the impression that it was only 24. Sad face. EDIT: I forgot to put in "Yay. A million times yay."

Whoops, forgot to mention I'm already running it in compatibility mode. I'll try administrator though, and run a driver check. Thanks!

xkcd, Cyanide and Happiness and Questionable Content. The first two are already explained, but QC is kinda like a web-comic-ised TV series. In a good way. It follows a 20 something guy named Marten and- Oh forget it. I suck at explaining and selling stuff. You'll have to start from the...

Hi guys. Recently, my friend and I dug up Age of Empires II to relive some nostalgia. We can get our online games set up well enough, but often, there will be periods where the game completely freezes up from lag. We can still scroll around, select units, etc, but they won't move and respond...

Yeah, I've definitely noticed that I am incredibly hypocritical, in terms of how I treat others. I mean, I _try_ to be a good person by helping them out when they need it. And my personal philosophy is to try to let everyone live their lives the way they want to, as long as it doesn't impinge...

Hey. I haven't been on the Escapist for too long (not more than a year, anyway), and I this kind of thing has been bugging me for a while, and I need someone on the outside to provide an objective point of view. Or maybe I'm just rambling and I need to get stuff off of my chest. Either way...
