    What's wrong with my laptop/monitor?

    I've been using 1600x900 since I connected this monitor to my laptop , and it worked fine until I disconnected my laptop to take it elsewhere, and now my laptop thinks the screen is designed around 1024x768. Does anyone know why this might be? Thanks.

    Call of Duty Community Not Misogynistic, Says Sledgehammer Co-Founder

    The people who use those insults are the loud, dickish minority. The rest of us sit quietly, mikes unplugged, and mute the fuckers. That's what it's for, by the way, the mute function - it's so you don't have to hear the sub-humans. Edit: here's something I forgot to mention. I'm willing to...

    My ill-fated expedition into the world of modding.

    It works! Thanks for all the help, Escapists. I wouldn't have known where to start without you.

    My ill-fated expedition into the world of modding.

    I'm a console gamer. Recently, though, I realised my PC isn't as shit as I thought it was, so I bought some games. After messing around with Fallout 3's console commands for a bit, I decided I should take a look of the mods that had for so long been out of reach. So I downloaded one that adds...

    I've been thinking about Call Of Duty.

    I like the franchise for both its single-player and multi-player experiences, but it's clear that they're running out of ideas. With Russia's usefulness as a villain exhausted, the games have set out in search of new enemies, and haven't been very successful, although both Black Ops 2 and...

    How Did You Become a Gamer?

    I became a gamer at age five, when my dad bought me a PS2. It came with several games, but the only ones I really liked were FIFA 2001 and Timesplitters.

    Your "I'm an idiot" moments in gaming.

    I was playing State of Decay earlier. I was playing as Maya, heading from my base in Marshall to Spencer's Mill to bail another survivor out. Along the way, I drove past that burnt-down building with the chain-link fence. It was infested. I thought I might as well take it out while I was there...

    Most annoying character voices?

    Sam Hoffman and Captain Montressor from State of Decay are really annoying. That's really all I've got.

    First time clubbing on Saturday - advice?

    A few friends of mine somehow persuaded me to go clubbing in Brighton. My plan is to stay as sober as I can get away with, without them saying I didn't like it (I don't expect to - it's a clusterfuck of things I don't like). So, any advice for a socially awkward guy heading into uncharted...

    So embarrassing!

    Well, let's see... There was the time I was playing CoD with some friends and died because I was looking at books on a shelf. As it was the last kill in the game, everyone saw it. That wasn't good. Needless to say, they still take the piss out of me for it, a year later. Another time, I was...

    Poll: Women In Combat? Yea or Nay?

    I used to be all for it, but the fact is, women aren't built for it. The Israelis tried it, and people died as a direct result. How? Say your team is assaulting an enemy machine gun. If it's an all-male unit, people don't stop if someone gets shot. If there's women and men, men stop for women...

    Poll: Do you believe in global warming?

    I don't believe it's happening. Alright, it is, but I don't believe we're causing it. We should be more worried about our continued pollution of the oceans rather than the threat of them rising, if you ask me.

    coolest end credits?

    Easy. Modern Warfare 2's museum flythrough was a brilliant idea, and being able to explore it (and hit the button that made them all want you dead), in my opinion, makes it the best credits scene out there.

    your parents surprising reactions to videogames

    My mum said Minecraft looked fun and she's interested enough in Mass Effect to be able several characters by name, although she says both look too complex for her. She used to play Theme Hospital and Age of Empires, though.

    On profanity not yours...

    My brother and (two) sisters swear occasionally. My parents don't swear. I heard my mum say "Shit!" when a car hit us from behind and I heard my dad say "fuck" and "wanker" when quoting someone, but that's it. I estimate that one in every seventy-five words I use is a swear word, which makes me...
