    So I just installed Steam once again.

    Right mouse > Properties > Updates > set to 'Do not automatically update this game' > close. That and savegames haven't been corrupted for any game I've owned due to updates, I even recall it having prompts before updating on a few games where this might be case. Maybe if your game is 10 years...

    So I just installed Steam once again.

    Steam with the window being open, 100MB of RAM, with it minimized to tray, 20MB. Chrome is using well over 500MB with 4 tabs and some plugins. This is not an issue unless your PC is ten years old. For the rest you can set yourself offline (though why have friends if you don't use it?), stop it...

    Which game serieses have you lost interest in and why?

    Assassin's Creed died the minute I knew I had to deal with Ezio again. I felt it would've been better anyway without the present-day nonsense, would've been much cooler to work through the ages up to the present and see how all the events influenced it. Call of Duty: After CoD4 I picked up...

    Illegal download vs legal download? What will it take?

    It's not as simple as 'people want to have a box' or 'why pay if you can get it for free?' that motivates people to pirate software. Though admittedly the money aspect does play a fairly big role. Digital download actually has more potential as prices of shipping out physical copies is zero...

    The Big Picture: Maddening

    Is this the big picture? Nah, just some rant. He served his time; not good enough? Then your beef is with the legislator and not with EA or the athlete.

    Escape to the Movies: Sucker Punch

    - Haven't seen it? Don't read it (though coded a bit incase you catch a glimpse) - Instead of a lot of suspense with displaying the needed stealth to get the map, lighter and knife - seeing a close up of Amber's hand reaching into the mayor's front pocket and such - they were switched out for...

    The Big Picture: PC Gaming Is Dead - Long Live PC Gaming!

    Way to miss the point: you can do so much more with PC. The only reason people buy consoles is for exclusives, or because they are cheaper in comparison to a gaming rig (even though games cost a fortune). Consoles are a waste of money unless you really really want to play some new and...

    The Big Picture: PC Gaming Is Dead - Long Live PC Gaming!

    For the people thinking the PC is going to die... Are you posting in these forums from your Playstation, Xbox or Wii? Or do you prefer the 3 inch eye-strainy-vision on your phone? Yeah, I thought so.

    The Big Picture: PC Gaming Is Dead - Long Live PC Gaming!

    I didn't have the time to read through the other 1100 posts so I don't know if it's been said already but... The problem I have with laptops is that they don't come near the immense power a desktop PC has, same goes for consoles. Then comes value: laptops are way more expensive in the sense...
