explorer.exe has randomly decided to stop working. this wouldn't be surprising if it weren't for the fact that every other program runs perfectly, but the taskbar, browsing folders, the start menu, are all unresponsive. eventually, after 5-6 minutes, whatever you clicked on will respond, but that's unacceptable. i'm having to work the computer through the New Task dialog box in the task manager (which thankfully still works).
it also runs like this in safe mode. as unresponsive as it is in regular windows.
i didn't change anything, didn't mess with any settings - it just started happening. what the crap is going on?

- There are boats on the shore on Wake Island. These are very, very good for getting between points quickly. Especially if you want to get from one end of the horseshoe to the opposite end of it.
- It helps alot to take the least obvious route to a point possible. It might take longer but you won't die and you'll be able to shoot at enemies from angles they won't expect. On Iwo Jima if I want to take Mount Suribachi I will not fight my way up the cliffs but instead almost always spawn on the carrier and quickly boat it to the back of the island. There is a path up to the flag there that is never guarded. Plus when you enter the point that way you are looking at the backs of the enemy soldiers watching the cliffs. Easy kills and a easy capture.
- Keep an eye out for what is happening with the bombers. If it looks like a bomber is heading to the point you are going to try capping just wait it out. Let him destroy all the enemies there and then enter the point.
Anyone got more?

Was going to go with the HT-RC160 but the free iPod dock on the SR607 sold me. The additional HDMI port as well. Receivers now a days are a pain to buy. They all seem the same. Hopefully this does full audio/video passthrough on the HDMI ports.

This whole campaign, there's no base building, it's just levelling 2 heroes running around a HUGE map and buying and finding items and loot and shit, it's really different and pretty awesome.

Terrible. I've rarely seen such unidimensional plot. For those still interested:
Hot chick gets haunted and hallucinates / runs away all movie long. A boring exorcism occurs at some point near the end. The boyfriend even survives. Hurrah.
Also, the producers tried using "shocking" visuals (animals and humans with upside down heads for example, spooky looking kids, ohhhhh!), and bring absolutely nothing new to the table.
NEXT! >:(

From what I've been reading, this game has a steep learning curve. I'm mildly familiar with DotA and played a little WC3 and SC casually. I never liked the resource management aspect of RTS games and I love Diablo, so is it safe that I'm going to love this game?
I'm mostly curious about that learning curve. Is it really as steep as some people have been saying or will I be able to hop in, reasonably so? Is there a single player mode or is this beta entirely multiplayer?
Anyone in the beta know how long until I get invites to distribute to buddies?

What's the first ultra violent video game you played, and what age were you:
I played the demo for Carmageddon when I was 10. I thought squishing people was funny but found the game itself to be boring. Even back then I was a video game snob apparently. Today I fell bad if I step on a snail. Growing up to be a serial killer: avoided
