Games ARE systems. Systems are restrictions. Pushing the boundaries of those restrictions, or competing within the boundaries of those restrictions is the very definition of a game. If you're playing a game, then you're playing the system.

I refuse to buy a PS3 for one reason: Sony had the nerve to charge $700 for a fucking logo at launch. Yes, they've gotten their shit together on price. No, that doesn't change my mind in any way. At the time the PS3 launched, I could have bui…

Really guys? Really? Why does it have to be either/or? Why the "Vs."? I swing both ways on this issues. Sometimes I want to blow shit up with a big fucking gun, and sometimes I want to blow things up by flamboyantly waving my hands around. T…

And my experience was completely different from yours. A lot can happen over that last mile of copper wire connection. The route that packets take to a speedtest site might be totally different from the route that they take to get to OnLive. The num…

Yeah, your internet connection definitely plays a part in how you feel about the service. The only time that I found the lag to be unbearable was while playing racing games. There were also a few times when OnLive wouldn't even let me log on because…

First, learn to hotlink. Cutting and pasting a link is so 1997. Second, tell us exactly what made you angry about the article. By leaving out this little detail, you just come off as a shill trying to generate traffic for the site, the author, or …

Not quite sure how accurate a list of favorite games would be as a character profile. . . . But here are the games I keep coming back to, in no particular order: * Don Pachi * Advanced Wars (at least the ones that were released in the U…

Originally posted by Quizzical It's very much a budget model, with 1066 MHz memory and a 5400 RPM hard drive. But look at the price tag: $425. That's after rebate. . . . Still, $500 is pretty damn good for a machine that can run Dirt 3 on h…

Originally posted by psyclum as tight as your budget is, i'd still spend alittle more on the powersupply. it's the one thing that will protect the rest of your rig. i'd use a used hard drive before i use a questionable powersupply. at least when …

I really don't intend to sit this at a desk. My situation is a little awkward and space is at a premium. The room I'm sleeping in doesn't belong to me and there is no space for a desk. I'm kind of inbetween a lot of things in life so I don't want to…

Originally posted by cooms Have you thought about the new AMD APUs? I made a little list up for you. Yes I used 1 recertified product from new egg but why not try to get a deal when you can.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82…

The whole APU thing passed me by to be honest. I haven't built a rig since around 2007/2008. I'm going to google and find out what's what there. I didn't mean to go into rant mode, but outside of this forum I've run into more fucking snobs using t…

I think I'm about to give this one to the console fanboys. You just can't build a decent gaming rig for the same price as a PS3. I'm sure that I could easily run Modern Warfare 2 on something along the lines of an Acer AX1420G, but you probably won'…

Originally posted by CalmOceans Neither. Kindle Fire, $199 I second this one. Tablets are basically just portable media consumption devices and that isn't worth any more than $250 tops. Especially when you consider that there'll be a new c…

Tonight I mourn the passing of a marketing genius and make a few predictions about the future of his legacy. Jobs could have sold manure to people that lived in mud huts. He could have sold ice cubes to penguins. So let's take a moment of silence …

Originally posted by Ridelynn Originally posted by Jimmy_Scythe I haven't build a rig since 2007, so I'm a little lost. I'm pretty sure that I can put an Socket AM3 CPU in an AM3+, but I'm not sure I have to go there since I've seen the…

Originally posted by Quizzical Exactly which components do you need? It sounds like you need a motherboard, processor, and video card. How about OS, memory, optical drive, or hard drive? If you want the best performance per dollar that you can g…

I actually thought about buying a $30 case and a 500W power supply (about $50), but I could just swap out the power supply in a donor case for $20. I'm not totally strict with the $300 price. I'm willing to be within $20 over/under my budget. So a…
