    Half Life on iPod Nano????

    Hehe, I know it's been a while but did you all miss the dead giveaway?? In the part of Half life when the scientists are alive you don't have a gun or suit/armor.. Still impressive porting Doom and all.

    Star Wars Galaxies changing "BIG TIME"

    I didn't play the retail version so I have no business talking but I do have a question. I was a beta tester and the 1 thing that blew my mind was there were these terminals that gave out quests instead of NPC's. I assumed they were placeholders in the beta to test quests but when it went live...

    What's so much better about CRT's over LCD's?

    Ok, besides the obvious examples mentioned above, refresh rates, resolution issues, and colors. The thing that does it for me personally is contrast ratio. The best LCD monitors have contrast ratios of about 3000 to 1 or so(give or take). The average CRT is about 50,000 to 1. The true blacks you...

    1600x1200 vs 1024x768

    Isaacav2 This is not proper forum behavior. You must NEVER admit you're wrong in an internet forum. On a go forward, make sure you turn the thread into a flame war of personal attacks. This is the proper way to admit a mistake jk :D

    Best CRT monitor?

    More specifically the NEC/Mistubishi 2070SB. It's their flagship. NEC bought Mitsubishi but if you get the 2070SB you are still getting the Mitsubishi product that is considered to be the best CRT.

    Skill and MMORPGs

    The word skilled should be replaced with reflexes. If we use the argument that FPS have more skill than players in MMORPGs then we also have to assume players of FPS have more skills than players of Chess or Civilization. Of course when you think about it this way it seems rather silly.

    Adventure for the Atari 2600

    Anyway, so I was sitting around playing Adventure for the Atari 2600 and whenever I bring all the objects back to the castle the screen starts to flicker. I can't wait for the next generation hardware to come out. Any ETA on the Adam?

    Having Everquest 1 withdrawls

    Yes, I remember playing Everquest 1 and getting so addicted I threw the cds into the trash after a particularly good 16 hour session. Of course I went to the store and bought it again before I finally quit for good. I must say I am playing Everquest 2 now but being married keeps me from the...

    Why is vinyl viewed by some to be superior?

    Hehe, from my own perspective. The distortion. Same factor in Tube amplifiers. With turntables there is a background distortion that is what gives it that 'sweet' sound. CD's tend to be harsh.

    LCD or CRT for high end gaming

    Contrast ratio of a good LCD 3000:1 to 3500:1 Contrast ratio of a decent crt 45000:1 to 50000:1 Enough said. This is about best, not practical. CRT technology is infinately better than LCD for raw picture quality on PC's just as it is in home theater. BTW have you considered the...
