    The original Xbox could have been Dreamcast compatible

    Yep, Sega chairman Isao Okawa tried to negotiate a deal with Microsoft, but it looks like his insistence on netplay was a dealbreaker. http://kotaku.com/5447897/how-xbox-could-have-helped-the-dreamcast-survive Just imagine what the world could have been

    American Health Care Reform

    I've been following the various debates for a while, and - unbelievably, given historical precedent - it's now looking likely that the Senate is going to pass a bill. I was wondering whether you guise in the States especially had any opinions on its efficacy! Or anyone else, for that matter.

    My friend's macbook has died...

    and I can barely keep a straight face. Which is awful, because she has essay deadlines for next week. I've lent her a laptop for the time being, but in terms of fixing the thing, macs are completely obtuse for me, so I thought I'd post here and see if anyone could lend a hand. When you turn...

    Putting together a microATX cube PC! Advice Needed.

    I've got a friend who has 600 quid to spend on a gaming PC, and has asked me to help him put together a machine inside a cube case, ie http://www.xcase.co.uk/p/293416/x-cube-black-with-side-top-window-650-watt-psu.html He's already got optical drives and a monitor. The problem is, while...

    "Eating large quantities of cured meats like bacon could damage lung function and increase the risk of lung disease" I can't breathe!

    Online games stop after a few seconds.

    I've searched and couldn't find a solution to this - hopefully someone will have seen something I haven't. Every time I log in to a steam online game, I load up the level, drop into the world and start playing, only for everything to freeze in what's best described as 'infinite lag' - I can...

    Jaegermeister!

    I'd heard it was popular among US students so decided to pick up a bottle last night. Hahahaha, it's great - its taste resembles cough medicine and it's syrupy sweet, you can rack up the shots without feeling a thing. It seems to f*ck people up quicker, as well. Had a great night, got back at...

    Drunk Australian Attacks Shark

    It's a radio interview - listen to the host, he's compulsively cracking up :D http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/check/player/nol/newsid_6360000/newsid_6367700?redirect=6367785.stm&news=1&nbwm=1&bbram=1&bbwm=1&nbram=1

    Is the 'Episodic' label justified?

    I was going to create this thread a while ago, but didn't get round to it - the recent delay that apparently shifts Ep2's release to winter highlights what's bothering me, though. The first episode, announced early 2005, was out a year later. We're now looking at a year and a half gap between...

    I need new books!

    I've been on a spate of novel reading recently. Now I need a new author! Recommend me some books. They can be non-fictitious, as long as they're enjoyable/reasonably easy to read (ie A Short History of Nearly Everything etc, I get enough hardcore non-fic in my history degree :)). I was thinking...

    My ISP Is Blocking Steam!

    I recently downgraded my connection with the provider for the halls I live in, and it turns out they've blocked steam traffic. Is there any way around this? I don't particularly need to game online, but I would like to be able to login to steam, keep everything updated, and get new titles...

    Online Music Stores

    I've just cancelled my subscription to eMusic. The idea was, pay 8 quid a month and get 40 tracks that are yours to keep - really great, but their library wasn't so good. It had plenty of the older jazz, but didn't have a lot of the more modern material I'm interested in. So! I need a new...

    The Democratic Hopefuls

    Well, Hillary Clinton has just thrown her hat into the ring... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6282389.stm I'm not American, and I'm interested to know how everyone over there feels about Clinton, Obama et al... How do you guys feel about the democratic nominations? Who would...

    I just discovered Street Fighter

    My poor thumbs! On recommendation from a friend I've been checking out loads of them the past couple of days, SFII and the Alphas. I can just about dragon punch and fireball at will now, but playing on a keyboard it's a bitch getting the diagonals in for specials. Addictive as ****, and I'm...

    New video setting for high-end users?

    In the Robin Walker interview gameinformer did recently, there was mention of an 'additional setting' for high-end gamers. Does anyone else remember this? I didn't see anything new in the video options.
