We are a small group of video game "enthusiasts" who would like to raise money for our favorite charity: Child's Play. We're doing this by live streaming us playing our favorite games (that are also fun to watch) for a full TWENTY FOUR HOURS. That's right, one whole day. We will be streaming on Justin.tv on December 22nd starting at 12pm EST(-6). We will have a wide array of games going from a ...
Cue 2011 as the "Worst Year for Secure Online Accounts".
After Sony and Valve, Trion Worlds is the next group to be hit. This especially concerns players of Rift.
We recently discovered that unauthorized intruders gained access to a Trion Worlds account database.
The database in question contained information including user names, encrypted passwords, dates of birth, email addresses, billing addresses, and the first and last four digits and expiration dates of customer cre ...
Apparently a bill is being passed along through congress to censor the internet. Well here is a site to protest it. Either call or send an email opposing this bill! http://americancensorship.org/
Computer issues Anything highly graphical starts fast but then goes really slow Started by Tri-Edge on 15 November 2011 at 0:03
Anything I play that is sufficiently high in graphics like Audio Surf or Playstation or anything really starts out running fine but after a few seconds it slows down for a few seconds and then goes back to normal but then goes back to slow and so on. My theory at first was HDMI cord was dieing but its a pretty nice cord, my second one was the hard drive is starting to go, maybe its not processing as fast as it used to... although now it could possibly be my graphics card or something? What d ...
I was thinking today, about all the different reactions I have gotten playing some games.. I know it may sound weird, but has anyone actually felt angry/sad/happy or even confused during or at the end of a video game?
As of right now, I am severely angry with Red Dead Redemption..
Rockstar could have had an option to play as John Marston AFTER the end credits. I want to blow Jack's fucking head clean off his shoulders. The ending actually made me tear up, I got so into the game, ...
Hey, remember COICA? That heavily-restrictive American law that basically lets big businesses do whatever the fuck they please with the internet in regards to censorship and the like, through the use of the Justice System? Apparently, it got shut down.
So naturally, those who proposed it have come up with something "new" to replace it. Behold! The "Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act."
Click here For an article detailing the fall of Mega Man... It seems it's suffering on all fronts, remakes, spin-offs, add-ons, etc... And one of the main directors that was able to get any green-light on Mega Man games has stepped down... A dark day to befall Mega Man fans worldwide?
Edit: Didn't know the best section for this, since it really encompasses all the games, so I figured Chit Chat is the most widely read, so I put it here. Edited by Masterlink on July 20, 2011 at 2 ...
Laptop help Calling all techy nerds! Started by Tri-Edge on 15 September 2011 at 17:49
I just acquired an HP Pavilion dv7-1170us HOWEVER I was told that the previous owner took it to the geek squad and they told him that the mobo was fried.
Im wondering if this is exactly true. See when I press the power button, it powers up, the screen does NOT turn on (And he said its a new screen), the fans spinning really fast you can hear it, the lights on the keyboard are on, then the fan stops and silence. All in about 2 seconds. The screen never comes on, the fan isnt working, and t ...
DAYTON, Ohio (CN) - Dayton police "mistook" a mentally handicapped teenager's speech impediment for "disrespect," so they Tasered, pepper-sprayed and beat him and called for backup from "upward of 20 police officers" after the boy rode his bicycle home to ask his mother for help, the boy's mom says.
Pamela Ford says her "mentally challenged/handicapped" son Jesse Kersey, 17, was ridin ...
Well now, I've not been to the boards in awhile... Thought it might be time for a drop-in. Kinda feels strange posting on a forum, whilst so used to being in IRC.
Considering this was my very first forum, I kinda thought it special to come around and poke it a few times with my IP octet.
20 years ago (plus three days), the web officially went online with the availability of the very first website! What people commonly call "the Internet" today is actually the World Wide Web, a subset of the entire Internet. After all, before websites were available, people could still connect to each other by e-mail, Telnet, Gopher, USENET, Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) and others.
Things sure changed a lot since those first websites were made available, and I can easily say that ...

Anywho, now that we've finally entered June, we're supposed to have uncomfortably warm weather right now. But instead, we have sunny and breezy weather. And it gets so darn cold at night. At least it'll spare me the electric fan.
But this ain't no excuse to emit more greenhouse gases into the air. The next thing I'll invest in are solar panels and minature wind turbines to power my AC. At least we don't ...
To Tri-Edge- thanks for the mouse help. It didn't work (the thing was ball&track) but still, thanks.
Something recently popped up.
Y'see, The M key is all messed up. when I press any key on the bottom row (or enter)it spits out a string of "m"s. However, when I press the M key directly, nothing happens.

Bin Laden Dead, U.S. Official Says
By HELENE COOPER
WASHINGTON —President Obama announced late Sunday that Osama bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks, was killed in a firefight during an operation he ordered Sunday inside Pakistan, ending a 10-year manhunt for the world’s most wanted terrorist. American officials were in possession of his body, he said.
“On nights like this one, ‘’ the president said, “we can say that justice has been done.’’
99 years ago today at 11:40PM the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg in the North Atlantic ocean. 2 hours and 40 minutes later the "ship of dreams" was to rest at the bottom of the sea forever. We gather in this topic today to remember those lost in this disaster. May they rest in peace. We also gather here to remember the ones who survived the incident. They have all passed away. The youngest one Millvina Dean, died at the age of 97.
Its hard to believe. When I was a kid, there were ...
I am watching TV Tokyo and NHK because I somewhat understand the Japanese language.
My heart goes out to Japan right now, many people say they are "used" to this type of disaster, but definatly NOT to this extent. It is really annoying that some people believe it's "not that big of a deal" because they feel things like this happen in Japan all the time.
Right now I am on Spring Break and my Japanese teacher did not go back to Japan but her family and friends ...
As a Texas resident, I find the political system...disturbing.
Example-the two major political parties, Republicans and Democrats are at political war. Just now, I heard a "senator" yelling "LET'S TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK!!!" This is disgusting, because what one party passes, the other vetoes, not because the bill passed was bad, but because the other party passed it. This has led to many... conflicts.

Dr. Brad Carter, Senior Lecturer of Physics at the University of Southern Queensland, outlined the scenario to news.com.au. Betelgeuse, one of the night sky's brightest stars, is losing mass, indicating it is collapsing. It could run out of fuel and go super-nova at any time.
When that happens, for at least a few weeks, we'd see a second sun, Carter says. There may also be no night during that timefr ...
