  1. Re:Zelda is the best game of all time! on Legend Of Zelda - Evolution Of A Franchise · · Score: 1

    The game is harder, but that's because it's different. It's really cool when you have Zelda:OOT memorized and then play the master quest. Everything's different and it messes with your mind!

    To add to my sibling, you can also not block Ads. In addition, you can choose to have your browser download the ad, but just not display it; thus making the server think you're looking at ads when you're not.

    You should try it, it's pretty awesome.

  3. Are either any good? on Comcast Signs Deal To Acquire TechTV · · Score: 1

    Having Basic Cable only, I've never seen either channel. Are either any good? What kind of shows do they have? Is it worth upgrading for these? Or is my broadband connection (hence the reason for the Cable, Basic Cable + Internet Just Internet) a better resource?

    Printscreen will capture the entire desktop, while ALT-Printscreen will just capture the active window.

    (At least, that's the way it's supposed to work :) )

  5. Re:Try this for something similar... on Doom - The Board Game Announced · · Score: 1
    Have you tried those two? I've never heard too much about Deadlands, so it didn't look to exciting to me. What about PvP Frag? Does it add anything good?

    I only said the two expansions because Pvp and Deadlands weren't expansions so much as supplements.

    For anyone interested, there are a couple of people selling Frag on eBay. (In fact, ones going for $30+! Wow! Maybe I should sell mine. ;) )

    FRAG was a great game! With a couple of friends (4 was pretty good, but it had rules for up to 12 at once) it was awesome. I feel it perfectly distilled the feeling of a deathmatch down to board game form.

    The turns went fast and so the action never slowed down. The best part was rolling the dice. It used D6's and you rolled the number equal to the damage on the weapon you were using. The person who you were shooting rolled the amount equal to his/her armor. Divide the armor into the damage and that's how many hitpoints the guy just lost.

    Nothing's better than having the nuke (12D6) with the quad-damage (x4) for a total of 48 dice worth of damage! The guy didn't even bother to roll for defense.

    There are a lot of variations that include height, terrain and other stuff like that. If you see this game at your store, pick it up, along with the two expansions. It's definitely worth it!

  8. Re:Answer: Compilers on Current Processors Tested With Linux · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That's a good point. But for the average user AMD just always seems like a better choice from a cost/performance point of view.

  9. Why use Intel anymore? on Current Processors Tested With Linux · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Seriously, why why anybody use Intel anymore? AMD kills them almost every single time. AND they're cheaper! (Note: I said *almost*)
