If you want more pixels in front of you, but don't like big monitors, the multimonitor solution may work for you. I think bezels don't bother me because after just a little bit of play your brain learns to ignore that small area. Besides, you are still focusing directly in front on you. The sides ar...

I've been burned by Obsidian before (the ending of KoTOR 2 was awful).

I would be happy to see them establish themselves as a good game company, as opposed to the people called in to make Bioware sequels when Bioware doesn't have the time (see KoTOR 2 and Neverwinter Nights 2).

Did Fable 2 ever get released on PC?

Well I'm now playing this on PC, and the DRM hasn't affected me so far. That isn't the point though. The point is I'm a scumbag for giving them money while taking away my rights. Personally though, I feel they took my ownership rights as soon as they started slapping license codes on everything so I...

I liked the first Disgaea a lot, the second was OK but not as good. I haven't gotten far enough in the third to know how it ranks with the other two, but I can say that I prefer the Disgaea series to FFT.

Is Little Big Planet worth getting?

I made an emergency purchase of a PS3 about a week ago (after my motherboard had to be RMA'd because the computer wouldn't even post, but that's fixed now). I'm really liking it. I've been playing a ton of free downloadable demos. I purchased Uncharted and am having fun so far. I'm also enjoying pla...

Oh yeah, would definitely like to try Halo Wars on PC. Also, dunno what the big whoop is about Demon's Souls. From what I hear from a mate in class and Yahtzee's review, it sounds like an absolutely horrid experience. I love Yahtzee's reviews, they are very funny, but it doesn't mean I agree with e...

2560x1600 resolution on my 30 inch Dell3008WFP monitor is better than 5040x1050 on three 21inch monitors I used to get with SoftTH and TH2Go. Mostly it's better because it works with more games. Also the gain in vertical resolution (1600 instead of 1050) is actually very nice. It's a personal prefer...

Demon's Souls by Atlus. I'm about to buy a PS3 and one of the main reasons is to play that game.

Update The computer came together perfectly. I love this case much more than the Antec Nine Hundred I had before, I feel like I have more space. Also the power supply on the bottom thing that Antec does makes sense weightwise but means you have a long way to go with those main power cables. 30" 2560...

My SoftTH rig, before it got stolen:



After the burglary, I've decided not to go back into surround gaming. I got a Dell 3008WFP 30" monitor instead.

One more question, I'm thinking of just getting only one monitor, 1920x1200, at least 24", any suggestions?

How's this?

After looking at the combo discounts available, this is what I came up with. The 300gb VelociRaptor I already purchased isn't shown here. I am going to research the case and then pull then trigger, I think. LIAN LI PC-A17B Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX 850W ...

I'll look into changing up the hard drive, case, memory, and monitor (still debating whether to get three again or just go with one). Thanks for the suggestions. I went ahead and bought my wife a replacement netbook, and somehow a 300gb Velociraptor hard drive also ended up in my cart. Funny how the...

I think MMORPGs are GREAT in surround gaming. I can have my inventory window open at all times, I can have the big map open at all times, I can make multiple chat windows with different purposes (guild, group, global, etc.), I can have a bunch of taskbars... Also the "fish-eye" effect doesn't bother...
