Star Trek is soooooo stupid to begin with, that no matter what Kirk did, Han kicks his ass.

Yes it is first person. First person suuuuuucks!! Graphics are so 1992 and the controls are weak and boring. W A S D keys didn't do anything, even though it's first person. I don't get it. Actually, I loaded and tried it for a few seconds. My initial thoughts: Not too bad. I like that it shows your...

I liked it better when it was called Men In Black. Way too many similarities.

Wasn't a baaaaaad film. But I saw too much MIB and X-Men in it.

As he said, 5900 works fine for the traditional client connect to a server. However, if you setup the client in listen mode, and have the server add that client to it's connected clients. . . that client listens on port 5500. In this setup, the server is basically telling the client "Connect t...

In my opinion, even the $700ish laptops will play a DVD good enough for plane viewing.

I don't mind Jack wearing a Kerry T-Shirt. No worse than me putting a Bush/Chenny sign in my front yard. They are allowed to support who they want. They are people after all. However, if I'm at a Jack Black concert, I do NOT want to hear about how cool Kerry is. I'm paying for Jack to entertain me,...

YUP!!! And steam suuuuuuuuuuucks. All the happy, good, usefull tools don't work. It doesn't store your favorites. It doesn't store the history of servers you've played on, etc. It MUST redownload the entire server list every time you start it. But best of all. . . . there is no anti-cheat code. I p...

Wife found it, and took me. I knew NOTHING about it going into the theater. Told her to surprise me. I laughed before the first line was uttered. Took the film till the second line before I laughed again. Laughed many times after that. Wouldn't say it's the best film ever and must be seen at the th...

So far, it seems to be. Scanned my system for games it supports. Maybe I didn't want them to know about what I have loaded. Maybe being a new user, I didn't know it locked the CD key down and it just locked my borrowed friends CD key to my user ID. etc. I like how it sets up the server list, favori...

Went to play CS last night to kill some time (and people I guess). It said my client was out of date. Hmmm. Must have released an update. Cool. I let it search for the update. It came back with "Your client is out of date, but there are no updates available". Hmmm. So, I hit the forums. T...

I don't see how you can compare Stiller/Wilson to Farley/Spade. Black Sheep was Tommy Boy 2. No doubt. But what two films did they have similar relationships? I guess you could say Zoolander and Starskey and Hutch. But, I think that's even pushing it. Different types of humor going on. But Meet the...

Ok, it's not that I need more RAM. Here's the issue. When a game is programmed, it's set to put certain things into memory, prioritized by what's accessed more often, what's needed most, etc. You could load the entire game into physical memory, but that would require you to have about 500mb above a...
