by Maarten Goldstein, Feb 27, 2006 6:53am PSTPretty sure I'll be picking up Battle for Middle-Earth 2 this week. Never played the first one (just kind of slipped through), but the sequel looks pretty good and I need a new RTS to play. Will await some reviews first though. Movie: Guys, if I don't bleed to death pretty soon, I'm gonna die of boredom.

I fell asleep. Giggles watched it, said it was "okay", but that I wouldn't like it much, except for one part (something probably blew up). I didn't know it was gonna be a sci-fi movie and I'm not all over Scarlett Johansen (just another blonde with giant hooters) so I don't feel like I missed much.
Saw II tonight FTW!!!

So many millions of players are used to the UI mechanics, game mechanics, ease of interface modding, and other things that WoW has really polished. I'm not saying that WoW really has given us anything new, but they've really set a new standard, imo, when it comes to the user friendliness of the game as a whole.
Do you think things are just a natural progression, or do you think that many games will now try to just hit the same standard that WoW has? Or, do you think that not much will change; WoW is just another game? It seems to me that Oblivion has certainly been influenced by WoW.
Personally, I quit WoW a few months back, but when I play games nowadays (MMOs, but even FPSes or other genres), I often feel like they're "missing" something. Certain things that you can just do in WoW aren't there. (the one exception to this may be Animal Crossing: WW) So, I end up comparing things to WoW. I think that millions of other people that were introduced to MMOs through WoW, like me, will be similarly affected, and this will change expectations, and therefore game design.

I bought my GF one of these and we are about to take a vacation to Europe and she was looking into getting a battery backup b/c we won't have a USB device to charge it while away.
Can anyone suggest one made for the nano that is effective + travel ready?

Two good Capcom games are now at $19.99: The GameCube version of Resident Evil 4, and both the GameCube and PS2 versions of Killer7.
These are at both EBGames online and GameStop online, I don't know it holds true in store.

I just put together a system based on a X2 4400+, 1 gig ram, Nvidia PCI Express video, 400 watt psu.
The system installs and runs Ubuntu Linux great, however it keeps shutting off during the Windows XP install. This happens pretty much right after the first reboot, before it asks for the key and all that. Any thoughts?

The whole way to work it sounded like rice krispies just after you added the milk. When i finally arrived at work my car had no other damage besides the cracked review window, and no apparent place where something hit.
But also find it hard to believe that something hit the back of the car while i'm doing 70 on the high way, if anything it should be the sides or the front that gets hit with something right?
First week and i'm what $200-$300 down, bastards.

i have one main div with 2 divs floated left inside the main div similar to this:
http://home.comcast.net/~jal365/test.html
the 2 divs inside sit side-by-side if the width of the browser will accommodate it. but if you resize the browser too small then the divs wrap/stack on each other. i don't want this. if the browser window is too small i want the divs to stay the same and just show the horizontal scrollbar. how please? thanks.

Why no shack hype for this title? I was under the impression that it was a long ways off, and was really surpised to find out it is already shipping.
Only impressions I've found are from a rather informal review at Game-Boyz.

I've got this terrific song stuff in my head but I have no idea who the artist is or what the song name is.
However, I can play the main riff/progression on guitar and need some help identifying it! It's a jazzy/funk type of sound, but any help would be appreciated:

So, I've checked in the BIOS to make sure it's not disabled, uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers a few times using the nForce_5.11_winxp2k_international_whql.exe from NVidia's site.
However, when I go into Device Manager, it still shows an alert next to Multimedia Audio Controller, saying the drivers aren't installed. I try to install them manually, and it complains that "Audio3D.dll on Realtek AC97 Audio Driver Disk" cannot be found.
Anyone run into something similar where the installer for onboard sound's drivers doesn't work properly? Is there a deeper hardware issue at work here, like a fried sound chip?

I'm quite tempted to pick up a DVD burner at newegg today, since they have one for $40 with free shipping and I'm buying something from them already today. Does anyone have experience with NEC hardware? I've never used their equip before... what's their reputation?

I need a new cordless for the home phone. Anyone have any recommendations?
I'd like something that's not in the 2.4GHz range, has a headset jack, and has a standby life of 3-4 days. I've heard good things about Motorola and Panasonic. Bonus points go to phones that use batteries that don't develop a memory (No NiMH).
Also, I'm never buying another V-Tech product again.
