Don't diss the handle! :P Actually I used the handle a lot when moving it around/taking it to other places, it was quite handy.

Try reseating both cards?

I have around 20 GC games that I love, the system was my favorite from last gen.

This happens to me too, in confuses me a lot too when I'm tired.

The Darkness. Great game that a lot of people skipped over...

Serisouly, what a fantastic game which really had a lot of creepy parts in the game. Had one of the best final levels I've played in a long time and the WWI scenes were freaky as hell.

Who cares, the game looks boring as hell.

All I know is it's around 50 degrees outside (I live in central Ohio) so it's probably a little warmer inside. I have a Dell (you could hardly call it a Dell anymore, a lot of the parts have been replaced) which came with a stock cooler for the CPU. Works well I suppose, even during the summer my temps never went above 35 C.

I guess it's just not a demanding CPU. It works fine for all my games though.

Now I don't have the most advanced processor ever, in fact I would call it "average" at best for gaming. It's a Core 2 Duo E6320 @ 2.0 Ghz (slight OC from its default 1.86), but I thought the temps I got today were pretty...cool. I got these temps while running a server and browsing the web:

Under 20 C!

Just thought it was cool...haha

Updated mine around the time it came out, worked fine and the update itself only took a minute. People have to remember everyone is getting the same update, and it comes down to how reliable your internet is.

Yes, that is correct. I believe you can stack up to 3 years worth of subscriptions.
