BioShock Infinite , just didn't live up to BioShock 1. Story was also bit out there and drug out like Dragon Ball Z or BioShock 2. Also BioShock 2 , terrible awful story and writing. Fallout 3 while it may be a good game in it's own right it has nothing to do with the original Fallouts, except for …

Re: Post your 'current' PC

I decided to re-case my new-ish (I built it at Christmas) into my Lian-Li PC-777 (which has been otherwise gathering dust, as you can see in a picture or two - I did a better job cleaning it AFTER flash photography showed me the spots I missed :lol: ), and it qualifies as a "current" machine …

In Omsk there are lots or cottonwood trees planted back in USSR. The female ones make fluff, from mid-June to mid-July the streets look like this: http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/10075273.jpg It's everywhere. Needless to say I don't ride in the city at these times :) and it get …

I also love the idea of cooking, i wish i was better at it but, practice makes perfect i guess. Glad to hear I'm not the only one with such interests. Also I hear Tom Hanks is quite the avid Type Writer collector. OH and I to love LEGO i plan on getting some of the Ghostbuster sets. EDIT: I …

I've always wondered if any one else here has other hobbies? For me it's not hardware and or retro gaming or gaming or movies and game and music collecting and what not (all the same hobby to me), it's usually something like small engine or motorcycles, cars trucks and or early internal combustion …

That reminds me that I have a Dell laptop (Inspiron 8000) with similar specs somewhere. I haven't used it in years. It would probably make a good Windows 98 gaming machine. It has a GeForce2 Go and 512 MB of memory. But where would I plug in the joystick? Were PCMCIA cards with game port adapters …

Re: Have you ever personally cracked a CRT?

By the way that metal strip around the front end of the tube isn't just for anchoring purposes, it's a safety-critical piece. It contains the implosion and should never be removed, the CRT might even violently implode on its own without it. I actually knew that already, but what I still don't …
