Well FSgeeK, that's not GSC's fault. Not all games can simply be compatible with Vista, so blame it on Vista and it's poor support for everything.

Right, since everyone can afford to upgrade every month. Waste of money that is.

Did you do the STALKER Vista fix that allows 3+Gb of RAM to be addressed within the game engine? If not you will experience crashes.

Simply patch up to the fifth game patch and search FS for Sqitso's post about Vista's STALKER fix. It involves running a small batch program to change the addressing limit in the games .exe file. Very simple command line stuff.

Well Lyle, if you can't pick a winner in a timely manner then why bother? By the way, IMO, the picture from the winner of the CM contest was terrible.

I emailed Lyle back in May and got a response along the lines of "Cooler Master isn't talking" but that was in May, this is July. I've emailed him again due to this contest and also the surprising decrease in site ad quality and also for Brett Todd's horrendous article titles and opinionated reviews.

How do you know it is considered "crap" to everyone? I want to know how you came to be hired by FS Brett. By the way, your Haze review had some pretty obvious grammar problems.

*shakes head disappointingly*

Agreed with the above comments. FS has become very poor at organizing contests. I refuse to enter unless something is resolved with the CM contest.

By the way, I emailed Lyle once, got a response, and that was in May. I emailed him again.

Edit - seems to be the same one. WTF?

Very nice, now if only it wasn't back to WWII. I've yet to see a kick ass 'Nam game, it would be nice if they could do that instead, but I digress. Co-op should be worth it.

Again, your opinion is your own Mr. Todd. As far as I know, this is the last MGS to feature Solid Snake as a character, so of course they will let him go out with a bang. And yes, it does sound like something I'd like to sit through.

How would you know what mental state he's in? Quit trying to start flame wars.

It IS up to parents to keep violent video games out of their children's hands, end of story.

I still say the 8800GT. You can't find a G92 GTS for $170 and the GTS is only a small percentage faster.

Don't apologize to EA, EA blows.

And why would you want a modern River Raid? That would be like making a modern Space Invaders.

Did you patch it? The patches fixed a lot of the problems of the first game and the final product runs pretty well.

Nice! Can't wait for the next installment. DX10 ftw!

Yes people love to hate Doom 3, probably because of repetition. You do the same things over and over until the end of the game without too much of a storyline. I think the developers relied on scare tactics and excellent visuals rather than story to carry the game. I still play it here and here though!

This was announced quite a few months ago. Obviously I love STALKER and the August release date SUCKS but I'll deal with it.

Well I'm sure others like it too but if you look at it from a design standpoint, it's a terrible game, note I didn't say player standpoint.

Trial and error gameplay in this day and age is a sure fail, just like platforming with a fixed camera system (except maybe God of War) and bad first person shooters (Jericho anyone?).

Uhh why? I'm sure they ate all the beef, and if not, then they at least hold a new world record.

I say we cook 12.0001 tonnes of beef just to piss them off and take their record.

Hi Santarian! Feel free to join our cluster!

I personally like DragonForce and I think Li Herman is one of the best guitarists to emerge in the speed metal scene in a long time.

My favorite song is Through The Fire and Flames because of the tradeoff solo :D

If businesses were really worried about it they would just but a bunch of XP packs from retailers or etailers out there. Just because support may die doesn't mean the OS will become obsolete. Tons of businesses still use Windows 2000 FFS.

Besides, there are tons of modders out there, if any problem comes up with XP I'm sure the community will find a fix for it.

I'm not saying Vista is a good business option and I'm not saying it's better than XP, but I do think it's time for a new mainstream OS. A STABLE one. One that will work off the shelf. Vista is not that OS. Until then I think MS should continue to offer support for XP. Judging by the 'net it shouldn't be too long before a new one is out anyway.

So just acquired some Meshuggah and I gotta tell ya, this stuff rocks! I had heard Rational Gaze from the Texas Chainsaw Massacre soundtrack and didn't think very highly of it, but now that I listen to it and other songs from them, I say I'm quite pleased. AMG also nearly reveres them as gods, with only one album out of 6 or 7 falling below 4/5 stars.

Songs to check out - New Millennium Cyanide Christ, Rational Gaze, Perpetual Black Second, Bleed, and to go back a ways to '91, try Sickening.

These guys are Swedish metal by the way, very, very technical and complex music.

I can't speak for everyone but as far as I'm concerned, it heavily depends on the band. Same with super-hardcore nonstop screaming and pounding guitars (ala The Red Chord, Job For A Cowboy etc).

For instance, I like some of the Red Chord but not so much Job. I used to be that way with my metal too, I used to like singing rather than screaming but I grew into it (thankfully) and now I'd rather not have it any other way.

On an unrelated note (sort of), I think we should start off by making blogs of our all-time favorite music groups so everyone can see who likes who and maybe get a better idea of who's out there. I'll get a bunch of different pics and shit ;)

Oh definitely. Don't be hatin' on Howard just cuz he's black :P

I'll have to post another blog sometime with some funny videos. I actually found a video on YouTube from Montage Mountain's Toyota Pavilion where Warped Tour '07 was, the one I attended, that showed Adam D (lead guitar) at his finest LOL.
