Chime in again... I find it laughable that AOL is running ads on TV promoting their "safe" network and are what I term the most computer intrusive internet firm that I deal with. These commercials are at best misleading. AOL is telling people that if they don't specifically use AOL, they'll be open to all sorts of spam, viruses, spyware, etc. That

I guess it depends on what server you're playing on. I've been seeing a lot of druids, rogues, hunters, priests and paladins lately, but very few magi, warlocks or even pure warriors.

I'm close to level 32 and it's still entertaining, but annoying that it now takes a group to get anything done. (As I'm anti-social, you can see how this is a problem for me. And no, we won't get into why I'm playing a MMOG. ) However, my Horde character is now level 14 and I'm having a lot of fun with him. Still, I hope Blizzard gets more content in the game. It definitely seems to "dull out" past a cert

What these people want to do is equate M-rated games with other activities that we restrict in our society. Let me ask a question (because I don't know): Is it illegal to buy a Playboy if you're under 18? If it is illegal, then I can better see their justification with this law. However, if it's not, then I find it ridiculous that they're trying to censor speech which is just as valid as what you can buy in the store in print form. Of course, in the end, this is just another way for pare

Yea, not sure what VU got out of that. I said the exact same thing when I read the report. Well, it likely means that more Steam is on the way and - worse case - all the cyber-cafes will have to pay for Valve's games again at higher rates and with more DRM then they could ever dream of.

PC Gaming has been under fire from politicians and other groups practically since its inception. While the initial criticism was that video games somehow rotted your brain, in recent years they have been called "murder simulators," with numerous failed attempts to ban their sale to minors. In what can only be viewed as a radical step, Activision now requires visitors to their website to enter their date of birth and a valid credit card number in order to simply view the pages o

Based on what you said, I'd guess you have some driver wackiness taking place on your PC. Brand-name PCs come with a ton of pre-loaded software, which I find usually mucks stuff up nicely. I wasn't aware of that there are class mods, but I rarely visit the WoW site...

10 million characters died 58 million times in the first year ... interesting. But what's cool is that we've had 9,000 years of fermented beverages. (Honestly, I didn't know what else to take away from this PR. Heh.)

I've seen a lot of Tauren Druids, but most Undead seem to be magic users of one kind or another. One thing's for sure, low armor can be a royal pain. Even with my Alliance Druid character it's a very noticable difference when a Paladin puts his divine aura on you. In bear form you truly become a tank with the extra armor boost.

I've been using the Omega drivers for over a year now and they're great. I wouldn't recommend trying just any 3rd party drivers, but Omega definitely knows his stuff.

There are 3rd party tweaking programs that will make WinXP's menus immediately pop-up, rather than slowly appear. (In regards to Paxx's post.)

For me, outside of the horrendous latency (ranging from 2200 up to 4700), I witnessed the wholesale takeover of Astranaar by Horde players on the Dalaran (PvE server). About two dozen high level characters charged in and took out every NPC in the town, plus every Alliance PC who had their PvP flags on.

Hmm, one of the others can elaborate on this since I may be wrong, but from my understanding you may have issues with your system, fuxd. It's not so much your CPU as your built-in video card. GalCiv 2 makes full use of DirectX 9.0c, which it sounds like your card may not handle (specifically I'm worried about it not dealing with the new TrueType fonts used in-game).

I'm level 27 now with my Elf Druid character and things have slowed down, but that's mainly because at that point you have to do more stuff in groups to complete quests. Still, there's a ton of things I haven't done or seen yet either.

It's a good article and I have to agree with it. That legal purchasers are forced to jump through hoops and treated as criminals by default is not only outrageous, but insulting. I know it's cliche, but vote with your dollars: Support those who treat you right and punish those who don't.

Well, I only started playing WoW a few weeks ago, so I'm still hooked myself. I play my Alliance character on the Dalaran server and last night a bunch of Horde players laid waste to Astranaar. About two dozen of them - all uber-high level - stormed in and killed every NPC and PvP tagged Alliance member in there (there's just no way a handful of level 54+ people are going to withstand the mass beating of over a dozen Horde PCs). Of course, Astranaar doesn't have many guards and they're not
