I'm in the market for a laptop, and am hoping that the VV community could share some opinions on the importance of resolution. My needs for the machine are very minimal, and I'm attempting to stay in the sub-$1000 range of bargain laptops. My needs: Email/browsing/MS Office Light gaming (nothing ove...

From f13.net The axe finally fell. It was only a matter of time, I suppose. And while many of you may try to spin this to make SOE look bad, apparently this wasn't really their doing. You see, SOE doesn't own Sigil. It doesn't own Sigil now and they won't own them tomorrow. But they do own Vanguard....

Ten Ton Hammer and Silky Venom are both really good resources. Once you get up and running, Vanguard MMODB is your quest/item/bestiary database, and if you plan on doing any tradeskilling (which I'm guessing you will), Vanguard Crafters will be a very helpful board. I've grouped with a few druids, ...

Picked up an Antec Truepower Trio 550 last week at C-usa for $70 after rebate. Haven't opened the box, but from everything I've read it seems to have some pretty decent cable length.

Nice. How long have you had that DS3? Is it a Rev 2? Should say on the box. Even my MB userguide has Rev 2 on the cover. Yessir, it's Rev 2, just delivered this week.

I'm a sucker for console baseball games, and have been playing the bejesus out of this on the 360 since the day it was released.

I went with a full arms spec through lvl 55, as I was soloing 95% of the time. I loved the dmg output and soloed very effectively, mostly with polearm and 2h weaps.

They haven't released much information yet, but I think the battleground feature they're planning on implementing is going to be the best PvP element in WoW. So far, it sounds similar to the battlegrounds in DAoC, with PvP-specific zones containing towns and castles that can change hands, siege weap...

MVP Baseball is a pretty solid game, IMO. I've played a few seasons, and have found the game to be pretty well balanced. I really like how they handle the farm leagues and player movement. The only area of the game that I was disappointed with was the off-season options in dynasty mode; pretty weak.

IMO, there's much less micromanagement involved in Sims 2. Moods seem a little bit easier to change, and I haven't had any week long boughts of depression or hunger that would afflict my sims in the first game. It's been entertaining so far, but I can't see it holding my attention for any extended p...

Yes he had good passes. However, I think when he sees the video of the game he will regret some of the decissions he made.

If anyone can turn things around, it's Larry Brown. This team is still the most talented group of players in Athens. Jefferson, who is typically a very good shooter, won't have another 3-for-16 performance. Everyone else (besides Iverson), had a pretty good game offensively. If Brown can keep Iverso...

Henry's a tough back, who played through some nasty injuries last season for the benefit of his team. If McGahee starts taking his carries, he'll ask/demand to be traded.... and I can't say that I'd blame him.

Only 1 guard in the NBA at the all star break had a FG% greater than 50%. That used to be the standard. Who's standard is this?? For a guard, 44% to 47% is considered quality, anything higher is exceptional. Jordan, arguably the best pure shooter in the game, had a career avg of .497. They're all g...

I don't think people should be so quick to jump on Rivers here. The Chargers have the worst run front office in football, and every year they have trouble signing their draft picks.

Philly is going to suck ass this season. They lost too much on defense, and have no running game. How do you figure they lost too much on defense? They upgraded at DE (Kearse) and LB (Jeremiah Trotter and Dhani Jones), and although they lost both starting (aging) CBs, they have 2 young studs ready ...

Carter is not that great, but he is way better than a washed up Vinny Testaverde. Not that I'm a huge fan, but you could do a lot worse then Testeverde as your starting QB. He's a great mentor for the younger players (see: Chad Hutchinson), and the guy did step in for 7 games last year, completing ...

By the way...I am going to go ahead and predict the upset of Michigan by Miami of Ohio. Michigan has no QB, no RB, and a shaky O-line.

This year, I'm most impressed with what he's been able to do with Wright. He's been an enigma throughout his career, and Mazzone has him pitching like an all-star.

Any thoughts on who got the best of this deal? I'm leaning toward Houston. T-Mac is a top-5 player in the league, and I'd be hard pressed to put Franchise in the top 10.
