as a battlefield rookie (this is my first one aside from the BF2 demo), can someone explain to me just what isn't offered in this title that would be in a full-fledged third entry? because as far as i can tell, it's got all the shit that was in BF1942, BF2, etc. how is this release somehow less legitimate?

I've picked up a cheap Dell slimline that I'm going to turn into a HTPC and was wondering what the standard is in terms of remote controls for these things? I'd love to pick up one of the entry level harmony remotes (I would love to switch to just one remote!), but can I just buy any old infra-red adaptor for it? Is there a better solution?
Cheery!

Haven't been following "the scene". My MX510, which I'm happy with, is breaking down. Should I just get the MX518 or G500, or are there better ones out there?
-I play shooters
-I want adjustable DPI
-I want a middle button / scroll that is EASY to click, unlike on many mice I've tried
-Intrusive / annoying / bloat driver software is a minus. I'm ok with Setpoint, though.

Power draw is down to 215w on the 470
Performance is above that of a stock 5850, close to a 5870.
http://www.fudzilla.com/content/view/18183/1/
Now any 5850 will oc past 5870 levels, but if the 470 has lots of overclock room and can pass it, I'd say for $350 it would be a good deal. Also means ATI will almost certainly drop prices on the 5850/5870.

Just tried these and they give me a noticable performance boost in BFBC2. I also noticed they indicated some improvements for SC2. So thought I would post about them as a ton of people playing BFBC2 & SC2 right now.

There's bound to be someone here who speaks Turkish or has heard of this "SpySoldier" thing right?
I mean, what does all this mean?
Google translate had some weird results, I'm hoping for a more accurate translation by posting this here. It said that "Ne mutlu turkum diyene" means "who says what happy turkey?" - well quite frankly I don't know who says that.
As for whatever my friend is doing about this hack, I am clueless. I'm waiting for him to sign onto steam.

If you are a fan of the band Fishbone they are playing at a friends bad on April 9th, 8pm. My buddy owns a bar in Redmond called Palmers East.
Its not a huge place but it gets packed there, and if you're single its a great place to meet women as there is always a good amount of hot single women folk that go there to have a good time.

I spent a considerable amount of timing playing the PC version (with a gamepad) and writing something up for this game. I tried to be as honest, forthcoming and clear about the good and the bad. Hope its helpful!

Essentially its Nintendo DSi + 2 Seamless screen + 3D that *doesn't* require glasses + tilt sensor + gamecube level graphics.
My reaction? A little excited, a little worried by possible gimmickyness but also intrigued that they could pull it off the 3D well. But Gamecube level graphics? That's kind of exciting since they'll be able to port stuff from the Wii lolz.
What do you guys think?
