I'm never buying a game on Steam for more than 5 bucks if it's for single player. I'd feel cheated if I was unable to go into offline mode. A couple months ago I was moving and had limited internet access, and when Steam updated I was unable to use Offline mode. I tried all the usual suggestions with no success. I didn't find out until I was able get a good connection that the reason was because the update changed something that started rejecting uppercases i

Alright, so I read an interview from PC World concerning the sale and Brad says the following: If Impulse isn't best of breed technology, then what is, Steam?" says Wardell. "Steam is the most popular, to be sure, but technologically? Let me put it this way. The technology difference between Impulse and Steam is such that any objective developer who looke

Anyone know yet how much GameStop paid for Impulse?

There's just something about the goofy state of society in that movie that makes me smile. It's like the farthest left on the political spectrum of San Francisco took over society and banned anything remotely bad, or that could offend even one pers

I watched Serenity before Firefly - didn't ruin it for me. Oh yeah, forgot to add Weird Science and Judge Dredd for my fav movies.

I don't have a doom and gloom view. I simply have a negative view and experience with GameStop, and want nothing to do with them.

The important part for Impulse is if it'll say more than I::R for protection on the game's page. I::R looks like it'll be a versatile DRM platform where it even has the potential to mimic Ubisoft's DRM.

[quote who="coreimpulse" reply="57" id="2885808"]Didnt the original team that made Company of Heroes left Relic? That's why they can't make a CoH-like DoW game. Would DoW 2 and other RTS that do away with base building completely be like those Tactical games like Hidden and Dangerous or the original Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six games?[/quote] Not the entire team, just three of the development leaders. They formed their own studio called Smoking Gun Interactive.&n

[quote who="Kodiak888" reply="9" id="2884657"]Too little too late, Impulse. Again. And Bethesda owns Fallout now, not Interplay. You can buy the 3 pack at Target for $15 around here. It even has the same graphic art as posted above. Paying more for a digital release? Really Stardock? Really? Also, no DRM on the disc, not even a disk check. I've been loosing faith in Impulse and Stardock continually since the release of Demigod. <b

Why is it 9.99 on Impulse per game when it's 5.99 each on GOG? Is it Interplay defining the prices because it's really not allowing Impulse to be competitive.

Yes I am. Just saying, even on new games they do passably...for a netbook. http://h20435.www2.hp.com/t5/The-Next-Bench-Blog/HP-Pavilion-dm1-A-Quick-Gaming-Test/ba-p/61053 As for me, I'll wait for Llano before I get a new notebook.[/quote]

There are some vids with users sharing their experiences so far and they've been pretty decent for some older games. But they still won't be up to snuff for many recent releases. Anandtech also has a review of an ITX board with th

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="50" id="2883190"] One that I will recommend you dont see is Roswell. We tried it recently and it was pretty awful. It's basically a teen drama (I wasnt aware of that beforehand...oops), but some of the angsty teens happen to be angsty teen aliens. The writing and dialogue are terrible, the story moves along very slowly, and the lead character may have well as been played by a manikin, he's so wooden. Seriously, a life-sized cardboard cut-out would have ha

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="3" id="2882588"]Unfortunately, the 'atom' processor yields at best 30% success (approximate figure based on specs and game 'needs'). Dual 'Atoms' do better, but use power. The "Ontario" fusion chip promises to do better and should be coming along on 10" netbooks sometime soon. The problem still remains the screen size/resolution and the need of the game.

Another vote for Bad Company 2. If you want urban, stick to the following maps: Panama Canal, Oasis, White Pass, and Arica Harbor.

[quote who="Aractain" reply="4" id="2881969"]Impulse? Its almost an automatic no given the history right? Anyway I love the way BF3 is "Hai guis! Member BF2ZzZZ? Well BF3 will HAVE THE SAME FEATURES AS BF2 OMGOMGOMGOMG!!11!".[/quote] Good point. Forgot EA was one of the few that put up their new games for sale on Impulse. Got things a little confused with no BC2 Vietnam along with a lot of other titles from most of the major studios.

I would recommend Seaquest and Sliders. They kinda... start to suck in the last two seasons especially Sliders, but I think they're still worth watching.

Death to crApple!

He has the freedom to say it no matter how tasteless and I have the same right to call him on it. Also, freedom of speech rights don't necessarily extend to the internet, depending on where you say it.

4 people died in that attack and 18 wounded. Not something to make fun of.

I'm still waiting for the GalCivII expansion bundle to go on sale.

Fair point. I personally had it happen to me with CoD4 last year, but I figured out I didn't need to run Steam to play it - SP or MP.
