    Good Canadian Online Stores

    Hi all, In the last month, I've had horrible experiences trying to buy Zack & Wiki and Okami for the Wii (tried to stay clear of eBay as it was a gift and I needed the games new). As I was told at the beginning of my odyssey, both games had been discontinued. No problem, I thought, I would...

    How to **** with people in TF2

    Personal disclaimer: it's really fun to watch, but these ****ers are really annoying if you are actually in the server: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUPzN7tp7bQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPoKaoJu0m4

    Upgrading my Vista Computer

    Hi all, I just got myself a copy of Retail Vista Ultimate from a friend that works with Microsoft. Now, I have a semi-old computer (3.0GHz P4, 1GB RAM, 9800) that I know will run Vista, but I know I'll be doing a whole system upgrade within a year. Now, I heard from LifeHacker and...

    What are your opinions regarding evolution

    I did not include Intelligent Design as it is neither a scientific nor a theological standpoint on life, but rather a legal manifesto set out to validate supernatural explanations within the science classes of the U.S. public education system. I'm provided four clear choices which I think...

    Computer's Dead :( - Need this forums advice

    Hey all, My computer worked great yesterday night, but when I turned it on this morning it makes the one beep (good), goes through the dos screen (good), but before the Windows load screen comes up, it restarts (bad). This cycle continues over and over again. It still responds in the DOS...

    Individual ringtunes for callers

    Hi all, I just bought a Motorola Razr V3, and I was wondering if there are ways to get individual ringtones for each caller (or caller group). This would make my life a lot easier as I could ignore one group. Thanks for any help.

    Videos of most (if not all) E3 Wii games

    Here's a site that has video's of most (if not all) Wii games that were shown at E3. I'm at work, so I can't watch them yet (and the site is horrendously slow), but I'll be putting in my flawless reasoning why this is better than PS3 once I get home and watch them (talk about a priori...

    DS Lite off to a good start

    Long story short, in Japan at least, DS Lite is outselling PSP by 10 times. I'm a Nintendo fan boy (Sony games have never appealed to me, and I still don't understand how the Play Station 1 could have outsold Nintendo 64...the closest explanation I could come up with is that PS1 had many many...

    Alyx Screenshots

    Well as Episode 1 is supposed to highlight Alyx (which it does quite nicely, as she only induced my wrath once by refusing to get out of the way) I thought we should have a thread showing of some memorable Alyx screenshots or quotes. I personally think that Valve did an excellent job in giving...

    Google Trends...Google does it again

    Hey, I searched this forum and did not find anything mentioning this, so here goes. Google just came out with Google Trends, which is basically a summary of how often a term was googled as a function of time, region, or language. As an example, you can search for Half life 2 and see when...

    Confused about Power Supply

    Hi, I'm trying to buy a powersource, but I'm very confused. I know from my motherboard manual I see that I need a ATX12V. So I go to Newegg, and find this powersupply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103933 Why is the fan on top of the power supply. Is that just for...

    Powersource is starting to smell like burned plastic

    Well, the title says it all. I opened the powersource and saw that the fan is has a lot of friction when turning. The smell usually starts when I'm doing something computer intesive. Now, can I just replace the fan of the powersource. I'm quite handy with electronics, so the little bit of...

    Can't preload Aftermath

    Hi all, I'm having trouble. I can't connect to the Valve store either through Steam or through general internet. It simply says that the site is down (ie: standard firefox message when a site is not accessible). My internet is working fine. As a lot of you seem to be pre-loading, something...

    Where are my save files

    Hi all, my computer is acting rather bitchy lately and I'm thinking that windows is about to die on me. I've started to back stuff up, and then I came to Oblivion, with my beautiful lv. 32 battle mage. But I can't find my save files. Where are they stored? What are they named?

    Annoyed with the training limitation

    Hi all, In oblivion, you are only allowed to train 5 times per level. This, to put it mildly, annoys the living hell out of me. In morrowind, you could level however many times you wanted as long as you had enough money. The major reason is that I like to train my minor skills only and the...

    What is the point of robes and other clothing.

    I remember that in morrowind you could wear regular clothing (pants, shirts, robes) on top of your armor. You could still have good defenses and by enchanting the other clothing you could have very nice bonuses. In oblivion I noticed that it's either/or. I lose 15 defence points when I equip...

    Tomb Raider taking a lesson from Prince of Persia

    To be frank, I never understood how breasts were supposed to make a video game better, but hey, that's besides the point. So here I'm writing an all important paper for one of my classes and I'm browsing IGN as I come across a couple new Tomb Raider movies. I was never a big fan of that...

    What to look for in hardware?

    Hi all, Whenever you look at hardware, there's a million of parameters that they give you for every single component. Is there a nice site which actualy makes sense of those parameters, cause I'm looking at new motherboards and 75% of the info is just gibberish to me :D. Thanks. PS: Is it...
