this sounds like a number of games The Learning Company put out. The fact that you played it in school pushes me more in that direction. You might google or wiki the company to find the specific game.

Hmm, do you know if there is a performance hit from using these glasses?

I don't know for sure. I found it interesting that they didn't mention any performance problems other than with the 8800GT. The game is essentially rendered twice. If I had to guess, I'd say you'll be getting about half the performance you would with 2D gaming.

Well its sort of a lie. Yes they get the same fps as in 2D but if you were going to be honest its really half that since everything is rendered twice. You will perceive the lag earlier than you would in 2D

I have heard far better things about the iz3d monitors. these use glasses but there aren't usb or any other type of plug in so thats way more comfortable. Basically just like wearing regular sun glasses. The monitors are way cheaper and reviews have said the quality is very high. (By way cheaper I mean $399 so not really a cheap monitor)

I think that my cpu temps are a little high but I wanted to get the opinions of people who know overclocking better than me.

I have a q6600. I have a full tower apevia case with 2 120cm fans blowing in and one 120 fan blowing out plus a 650w muskin psu with two 80cm fans (one taking air in from the case andone blowing it out the back). I have a Zalman reservator v2 watercooling system(this is the large fanless radiator) with 3/8" tubing going to the supplied waterblock and nothing else being cooled by the water supply.

Under the stock 2.4 ghz clock I run OCCT and get up to 58 degrees C. I have two thermocouples. One of the water block gets to 37C and the case temp is 29C.

This seems far too hot for stock. I used the supplied thermal paste to attach the water block. At a 2.8 ghz clock with no overvolting (standard 1.25v) its already hitting 66 degrees C. It idles at 46 degrees C.

So I would appreciate any help. Do this seem right to you guys? Is there anything I could have messed up? It seems like I read about people doing better than this with stock fans.

Thanks in advance for the help

Well I don't have a clue but it sounds like you have tried the logical things. At any rate this will give the topic a bump. One thing I might try is to go into control panel and system. On the left side of the screen it say device manager. Look under the Universal serial bus controllers section and see if it recognizes that anything is plugged in or not. It might say unknown device if it doesn't recognize the controller but knows its pluged in. That might help shorten the list down of possible problems.

I agree. I hated that I couldn't do the rest of the missions once I had done the main quest. Who's idea was that? The sad thing is it was such a good game that it deserved a better ending than that.

steam support isn't known for being fast. Have you tried clicking the message that gives you a new set of letters? sometimes the first set is confusing. Also are you on a shared IP? MAybe someone from your IP got VAC banned or something.

Well the ultimate test of a computer right now is still the latest Microsoft flight simulator. This game makes computers playing crysis on the highest setting look like thoroughly average computers.

no we can't. But I will tell you that there is a very easy way to get one. It involves buying the game, opening up the box, and magically there one is.
