Echoing what others have said. An integrated gfx chip just isn't going to cut it even for TF2. Upgrading that will be more expensive than $80, but you don't need a modern one because, as already said, it won't do much good with that processor. It depends on the kind of slots you have available...

Again, Populous. Probably 1 or 2.

This is probably Warwind This sounds like the Microsoft BOB interface. Not really a game. My aunt had it on her school computer to make it easier for her students. http://toastytech.com/guis/bob.html 1. Smash TV 2. Sinistar Pretty sure this is The Immortal Possibly one of the...

And did they say anything about installing Origin to activate TOR? I had to make an NCSoft account for City of Heroes, a S.O.E. account for Matrix Online and Galaxies, a Battle.net account for WoW, an EA Online account for multiplayer in Bad Company 2 on the 360. The safe money is every title...

When he non-answered someone concerning the Ubisoft always on DRM Pachter showed his true colors. He seems to be a "Money is only for the Rich" type, and the rest of us should be grateful for the scrapes we are given. This current opinion comes as no surprise.

While I agree with a few of these, this is all just peevey bitching. I can't stand the phrase "touch base" either, but if I complain to someone who uses it frequently I'm just an douche. Also to anyone who agrees with this list "fortnight", "expiry", and "takeaway (in reference to take-out)"...

Assault Chopper Command Hero were the games into which I sunk the most time. I'm not sure if they'd still hold up though. I agree with Dorkmaster in that control was the biggest issue. I learned to get better at the old games but they still never felt right. I might even say nostalgia is...

Are you in the U.S.? I'm not finding it.

The only problem I find is TF2 doesn't seem to like integrated graphics. Maybe the new chipsets might work. But I'm not sure how one would test that short of letting a friend download a copy of Steam on one's system. OT: From what I understand nobody bought Orange Box on PS3, so they stopped...

So how do I buy this with PSN down?

This is the problem I have with performance art. Which is something these games might be attempting. They are always about the creator and the audience is only supposed to comment on the brilliance of the artist. Keep up the good work Jim. I really like the "propaganda master" set and the...

The thing is most of what the Marvel Thor comic is based on was completely made up by Stan Lee. Any variation of saying they should be true to the original is lame because Stan The Man just went with whatever he thought would be a cool story. This comic sums it up nicely...

Not like you ever do but don't let the hate get you down Jim. I might not always agree with you but I do always love hearing what you say. Repost the "Nobody cares you're good at video games" episode. That'll blow a few minds. Also if you get a chance would you please ask Wardrox to post the...

Understood, but as I mentioned earlier the Scream films are about playing with the genre, not subverting it. The killers in those films were superhuman until the end when their face was revealed. To do something else would have been making a new type of film.
