by Maarten Goldstein, Aug 04, 2004 7:15am PDTRemember when we said the FileShack Chicago server was back and then we had to pull it offline again? And then we did so again? And again? Well guess what, it really is back now! It's been running fine for the past two days now so we're pretty certain we've finally fixed all hardware and software problems plaguing that machine.

tldr: $14 xbox live compatible router at best buy
i went to best buy today hunting for a good cheap router to replace my nice netgear rp114, whose only fault was not being xbox live compatible. they had their belkins, their dlinks, their linksys's, etc. wired, b, g, lmnop, you name it. they got it. the belkins all had $40 rebates, which was nice. the linksys's all had $10 rebates, which was nice as well.
so i'm talking to the best buy guy, making sure which are confirmed to work with xbox live. i tell him there's a page on xbox.com that lists the known good ones, and we make our way to their "internet terminal". sadly, it was down. he decided to go talk with the girl working in the video games section, and she showed me a few routers they had on the shelves, which were all identical to their other stock over on the pc networking aisle. at this point, i'm thinking the wired belkin is my best option ($20 after rebate).
then she leads us over to their xbox live stand-alone kiosk thing, which had games and accessories for all your xbox live needs. hanging there on the rack, not in a box, but in one of those impossible-to-open clear plastic packaging things, was a mad catz "online gaming starter kit," containing a madcatz branded router and 2 8ft network cables. she takes one off the hangar and says, "i think these are on sale, let me check the price."
she comes back. "i need to update the price on the rack, because this thing is on sale for $14."
sold.
$14 router? shit, you can't even buy two 8ft cat5 cables at best buy for $14. hot.
i have the router now running here at home. xbox live diagnostics completed successfully, and i'm obviously on the internet, so it's all good. i can't find any official homepage for the thing, it's not on best buy's site, and i can't find it for sale anywhere online. this is the closest i can find:

it's also mentioned here:
http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/4409/Mad-Catz-Reveals-2003-E3-Lineup
i don't know if you can find it at your local best buy, but if you're in the market for a non-wireless router, can't hurt to check.

I hate that pause time style of gameplay, i find its pretty pointless because if you find yourself in a bad position then you end up having to move while the other person is still shooting at you, and if youre both in good positions then you just stand there trading blows and wait until the battle is finished. Maybe its just me but i seems to lack the tactics that you might find in turn based games. It feels more like a RTS game, and i dont like them.
I prefer turn based RPGs because you can move around and attack each turn and it just feels a little more controlled. But some of the 'classic' RPGs use the pause-time system, like NWN and Baldurs Gate and KOTOR, so I have to struggle thru it.
which do YOU prefer?

I have a green halo xbox that's been giving me a bit of trouble.
It's not thompson'd, it has the phillips drive. However KOTOR continues to lock up on me every once in a while. This is my second time through the game and it never locked up on me before. The only other game i've had problems with is DDR. It DRE'd me but cleaning the tiniest of fingerprint smudges from the outside edge of the disc seemed to solve the problem. no other games have given me any trouble.
I called xbox tech support and spoke to a guy who could barely complete a though. he reminded me of bobby lee's "koren translator" character from from MadTV. "If you could, like you know, take out the game from your xbox you know, and then flip the xbox upside and stuff you know, and see what the... the... the... serial number is you know?" I half expected him to say "It's like.... you know.... UH OH HOTDOG!"
Anyway, they gave me a case number to send it in, but I want to get my saved games off first. I was able to get all of my saved games on to an 8MB xbox memory card thingie. However, each of my KOTOR saves is 1600 blocks, and considering that the 8mb memory card only has a capacity of 502 blocks, I'm kinda stuck.
TLDR;
My xbox is weird, but really only in KOTOR. I can send it in for service, but I don't know how to back up my KOTOR games.
Is there a bigger memory card out there? Should I even bother to send it in?

I'm about to Format and reinstall XP (HOME) but I've only done it like once before. and it TERRIFIES me
Questions:
1.I just put the CD in the drive and follow Directions?
(last time I did it I needed a Boot Floppy)
2.will it ask me which drive to format if I have more than one and will it leave the other alone? (backup shit)
3.How the hell do you export your emails from Outlook Express ffs?
4.Am I missing anything important to back up?
-I've got soundcard driver, monitor driver, Vid card driver,FTP site logins e.t.c
-All my work e.t.c
-Pron yo
-Bookmarks
5. If I want to move some cards around in the PCI slots, I do it after the format? or will it just reboot automaticly? (making room for the XBOX HUGE fan on the LeadTek 6800GT)
I'd appreciate any help, I always HATE dealing with hardware and drivers and formats e.t.c
one problem is I have to do it tonight and I dont get the new card til tommorow. so I can't go clean into the new cards drivers BLAH
(well I got Doom3 and then I had the Card in my hands but I exceeded my fucking debit card limit for the day)

The parents offered to buy me a new cell phone. The problem is I know nothing about cell phones. All I know is that my parent's business uses nextel phones and the walki-talki thing so I think I need to stick in that category. My current phone is a motorola i50sx (http://img2.phonescoop.com/img/p/245/112_1.jpg) which is an old pos. On to what I need.
I don't need internet or email or any advanced stuff like that. But I do talk on it an hour a day so it can't be uncomfortable to hold for long periods. I've heard those extremely small phones are a pain to hear and talk at the same time. Web cam a plus but not needed. Long battery life would be a big plus. One-two mini games would also be good. Thanks for any suggestions.

This shit sucks! At first, I could choose a resolution of 1024X768 but after I restart the computer, it switched to 640x480 and there are NO OTHER resolutions to select.
WTFage? Can someone point me in the right direction, besides the fact that it's a pile of shit card... is there something I can do to revert it back to 1024x768 that it was displaying fine on?
