I use newegg.com and tigerdirect.com, though I check newegg first.

I don't think consoles ever overtook PC if you think about it. PC was first in almost everything. First in online gaming, first in talking to other players while online with a headset, first in having more than one display (consoles still can't do that), etc. I have a couple articles on my forum...

Console of Choice=No Console Get a PC.:biggrin:

Yes you can definitely buy a better video card and take the existing one out. That's one thing I've been looking for myself since the slowest thing on this machine I have is the graphics card. I'm running and old NVidia GeForce 9400 GT 1GB overclocked and it will still run most games but not at...

For that price, yes. I looked up the video card here: http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Radeon+HD+6670 and it's not the fastest of course but it is a decent card. I believe this is the new 4 core FX chip, though some of the Phenom II chips have been reported to be just as fast. (Just...

I had to kick a guy out of my clan (not the one I am in now) because he left his mic open and everyone in the game server heard him cussing and beating his kids. We just couldn't talk to him after that. This was almost 10 years ago. We never even told him why, just kind of let him go. I hope his...

I haven't had many problems with Firefox crashing, but I must say they come out with new versions far too often.

Right now I'm running an old Geforce 9500 GT w/1G video RAM. Been looking at a 550 or 560 Ti though, hope to get one soon. Update: Got one and it is definitely faster than the old one.

Remember Moore's Law: Computers double in speed every 18 months or less. I have noticed some of the newer games make my video card run at 108% but only use about 60% of the CPU. I was able to overclock my older GeForce 9500GT and get almost double the frame rates, but I really need a newer video...

I'm 40 and I go to college with teenagers and twenty-somethings! LOL! :)

PC Gamer, Maximum PC, Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, CPU (computer power user), and a few others. I used to read Game Informer but they seemed biased against the PC gamer. A lot of games on the PC platform wouldn't even be mentioned as being on the PC, they would list the consoles only.

I like Pepsi but don't like Coke. Even when I switched to diet versions I still only liked Pepsi. Right now I love Diet Mountain Dew and pretty much get upset when I am somewhere and they don't have it. Diet Dr. Pepper is great too.

Yeah, I remember when Counter Strike was just a mod for Half Life then it became a game all it's own that you had to pay for. I think Day of Defeat finally became a stand alone game as well, started as a mod for Half Life.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the NES. It came out when I was 17 and I played the crap out of it. I think I went through the entire game like 3 times!

Very nice review. I was just curious which platform you reviewed as sometimes the same game will be very different on another platform. (e.g. Graphics on PC are usually better and they tend to add more stuff.)

Of all time? For me it would have to be Half Life. At one time there were so many servers it took 30 minutes to refresh them all! (circa 2000) Plus it was the first graphical online game I ever played. Before that I was playing text based MUD's.

I use Firefox, I was going to try Chrome until they got hacked in less than five minutes at Pwn2Own. You can read about it here: http://www.necrowolf.usa.cc/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=31&p=66&hilit=chrome#p66. So that pretty much left Firefox as it's 10 times faster than IE. I've also tried...

Sweet! Though I almost cried when they sold out to Dell.

HP is not too bad. One of the computer shops I worked at only sold HP products, and I was working on getting my HP certification, but it didn't pan out. In fact I built one while I was working there and they got a little miffed I didn't buy from there since I worked there. What I have now is...

I've lost track of how many PC's I have built. I used to go to the computer show in the state capital here just so I could buy parts that weren't on the market yet. Now though you can get one from Cyberpower and other companies cheaper than actually building it yourself. I actually calculated...
