The game looks too easy. You can esstentially pause the game to lineup a perfect headshot. And the AI looks pretty retarded in the videos showcasing the combat.

Did you know Chinese Democracy is coming out on Nov 11, 2008? I guess we know who won that race.

I have to laugh when people claim Nolan's Batman series is the best comic book adaptation; yet in the same breath they comment on which characters would work and which wouldn't in Nolan's world. If this is truly a great adaptation of the source material, there should be a seemless transition from the comic books to the big screen. We wouldn't hear people saying Killer Croc or Mr. Freeze couldn't thrive in Nolan's Batman universe. I think Tim Burton's take was the best because you really didn't question things like a deformed penguin looking dude in a giant rubber ducky. Burton developed a world that balanced that fine line between absurdity and realism.

I downloaded and played the Crysis demo just to see how my new computer stacks up. I have all the settings on very high. The game runs phenomonally well but the graphics are not as spectacular as some of the gameplay video I have seen coming from Crytek. Are there certain graphical features that are exclusive to the retail version?

I just recently put together a new PC after my 4-year old machine was gasping it's last breath. My previous PC had a GeForce 6800GT that was giving me headaches. While gaming, I noticed many artifacts on games that weren't even that taxing. Lots of screen tearing, geographic anomolies, screen flickering, and missing textures. I always suspected it had something to do with overheating.

Anyway, I moved my old hardware into another case so I could use my good case for my new PC. While uninstalling the hardware, I noticed a huge build-up of dust and hair on the GPU'S heatsink fan. I removed it all and booted my PC just to see if everything was installed correctly. I loaded F.E.A.R--a game that caused all sorts of problems with my GPU. It was amazing how night and day the performance was. The video qauilty was perfect and the game ran at blistering framerates. All this time I could not play games and all I had to do was blow into my GPU fan.

Okay, I put together a new computer yesterday and loaded TF2. Everything was fine and dandy; however, I just now tried loading the same and all the texts in the menu are completely invisible. I loaded Steam and the same thing is happening with the Steam menu. Is anybody else having this issue? I'm using Vista 64-bit Home.

I was surprised to see that SF4 was also being developed for the PC, which is unusualy since the PC is not a platform known for it's fighting games. How do you think the game will control on the PC? Obviously a KB&M would not be ideal for a fighting game. Do you think it'll use the X360 controller, or are there joysticks availble for the PC that would work well with the game?

The Screen Savers was a great show with Leo Laporte and Patrick Norton (Morgan Webb was just an intern in those day). Now it has turned into the most wretched show on television called Attack of the Show. AotS is so unoriginal. The first 20 minutes of the show is nothing but Youtube videos from two weeks ago. Olivia Munn is a ditz. Kevin P. is a smug ****. I have never seen a show try so hard to be funny and not succeed once. If anybody still craves the old SS, go to DL.tv. It's practically the same format.
