    You didn't have to do that, but I'm glad you did.

    I couldn't find a youtube unfortunately but I did find a wiki. http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Tynan

    You didn't have to do that, but I'm glad you did.

    In Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide there is a distraught woman who asks you to go and rescue her baby from her house. You can refuse to give the baby back to her. I carried the baby through the entire game because I was certain it would pay off. It never did and I forgot about it...

    Interplay is Now Offering its "Significant IP Portfolio" for Sale

    Finally I can get a sequel to the superb Mario Teaches Typing. Rock solid mechanics. Interplay's love for the venerable platformer really shone through with that gem.

    Relatively minor things we want on NX

    Steam in home streaming. There is no competition between Nintendo and people who own high end gaming pcs. It would be slick if I could play KSP on my couch with a touch screen from time to time. It's not like Nintendo competes with Steam anyways.

    The worst game you have ever played.

    Star Trek: Starship Creator. I never miss an opportunity to shit on this game in public forums. It's hard to convey it's awfulness with text without resorting to hyperbole. You design a ship, select a crew and then assign it a mission. And then you can sort of watch it do a mission from an...

    Gaming PC Build

    I agree with the other poster about the i5. Also, why have you gone with a sound card instead of onboard sound? Audiophile? I can't tell the difference at all. I also like the cooler you selected more than a liquid cooler. Just put the fan blowing through the heatsink towards the rear case...

    Report: Nintendo NX is Portable With Detachable Controllers

    From what I've read I'm clearly a tiny tiny minority but this would be absolutely perfect for me. A gaming tablet with good integrated controls and nintendo first party games that can also connect to the TV for multiplayer kart. There's already over a hundred million boxes that can play COD at...

    It's Hard to Get Nostalgic About Games You Didn't Grow Up On

    Shouldn't you be in an old folks home gumming your food? Please grandpa, tell us the story of how Commodore ruined Amiga again!

    X-COM: UFO Defense - The World's Best Alien Invasion Game?

    The interface is really bad. I had to alt tab to the manual three times to throw a grenade. Real grenades are easy to throw. Even infantry can do it and most of them can't read. In fairness a lot of games are over simplified for mass market appeal but there needs to be some sort of balance...

    Is Steam the modern day PS2?

    I decided to do a bit of research before posting knee jerk reactions and I found out that Sony sold over 150 million units. Steam has a little over 125 million accounts. I thought for sure the number of steam accounts would crush the PS2 install base but I was not correct. Is anyone else...

    How every U.S. state can achieve 100% renewable energy by 2050

    I read an interesting article recently that detailed an add-on module that would allow conventional power plants to use solar power to decrease their fuel use by between half and a third by adding a solar pre heater. It makes use of existing power plant infrastructure and doesn't harm grid...

    Your Gaming PC Uses More Energy Than Three Refrigerators

    This is a weird study. They must know their study was deceptive and would be used to make deceptive click bait articles all over the internet. Why? What do they gain from this? Power saving features are built in to the operating system and the hardware so that the system doesn't waste power...

    I Miss the PS2 Days/7th generation (WITH DISCUSSION VALUE)

    The PS2 was a hell of a console. Any great obscure RPGs that you'd recommend? I didn't like Dark Cloud much. It was super grindy and I didn't care for the water and poison mechanics. It seemed like their only function was to pad out the gameplay. The building mechanic was interesting. I...

    Oculus Rift Officially Launches In 2016

    It seems to me that the OR (is that okay?) is going to be releasing into a somewhat limited market. How many people have the kind of hardware to drive two 1080p 60 fps displays? How many of those people want a VR headset? And of that subset how many people are going to hold out for the Vive...

    Evaluate this PC for me!

    OP: I'm a bit confused here. Are you planning to overclock your machine? Given the nature of your post I don't recommend it. Most processors and cases come with fans and while aftermarket ones are great they aren't required for a budget build running at stock clock speeds.
