    Google Vs. The English

    Thank you Google. Thank you for this bounty of information and humor I am about to receive.

    How do you upgrade video RAM?

    There's your answer, however, keep in mind that the minimum for a game to run means different things from game to game. For some it's the minimum playable (at 10-15 frames per second) to others it's simply the minimum for the take to run, and not crash. Chances are, if you run the minimum, or...

    Old Server - what to do with it now?

    So, back in 2004ish I made a new server. It was beautiful in it's time. Dual socket, AMD 285's with 4 GB of RAM on a Thunder K8WE (S2895), 12 500GB drives across 2 PCI-X buses making up a (soft) RAID 6 (plus a spare), and 4 Gb NIC's run into a single trunk. It was to be my home media/'anything...

    Poll: Screw WADS

    WASD + mouse it what separates us from the primates. I use an Xbox controller on my PC when I have to, but only when the game has tarded the controls up too badly because the game was originally designed for console. (oh, or when driving/flying)

    If knocking on doors was made illegal, how would you alert the householder of your presence?

    People are already experimenting this. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/44149021#44149021 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/44162683#44162683 Neither attempt worked, so I'm thinking some of the above might work better. My picks for win are the brick through the window...

    Poll: If God had a nationality, what would it be?

    Either Goa'uld or Asgard. This may come off as a joke, and it kinda is. At the same time, God and the Angels are from the above, and magics (miracles) are just things that one doesn't have the technology or ability to understand. Consider what the following would look like 2000 years...

    You can change ANYTHING on the escapist, so what would you change?

    I miss the animated content and the video of D&D play. Much of that was really good. Honestly, I'd just like to see more. Yahtzee, MovieBob, Extra credit, Tales from the Table, and the Loading Ready Run guys are all great. The Escapist podcast was a nice touch as well. It wouldn't have...

    GameStop Sales Down, But Digital Skyrockets

    Really? You mean stores that don't carry much in the way of PC games are not making as much money on PC games as the alternative that just requires a click of a button to get what a consumer wants when they want it from home? Wow. Learn something new every day.

    Report: Internet Explorer 9 Doesn't Suck

    IE protects users better then any other browser? Right. You can tell me the sky is hot pink with neon green swirls too, but it doesn't mean I'll believe it. Finding insecurity in IE takes about as much time as it does for me to look out the window to double check the color of the sky too...

    American Humour is Terrible

    Sorry man. South Park is American. It was created, developed by, and voiced by, and owned by Americans. This is the Escapist man. Never post without expecting us to check the facts. Second, American TV is a shotgun at the American public and the world. It's aimed at a broad spectrum. To...

    Jimquisition: Fight in the Name of Childishness

    Eh... kinda? Ok, going on Fox was a bad idea. Going on Fox and trying to be an adult was a bad idea. Going on Fox, trying to be an adult and not expecting what happened, was a dumb idea. That was our bad and dude should have been or prepared. He was ready for CNN, NBC, or any other...

    Poll: You must choose

    Pretty easy for me. Would you ever play Russian roulette? Would you ever stand up on a motorcycle at 150 mph while naked if you had the chance to make a million dollars? Would you do 180 mph on a motorcycle wearing no protective gear? Would you kill a few to make sure thousands would live...

    Seriously, stop calling it the "God Particle"

    It's just a name, kinda like dark matter. It's a way of saying we have no idea what it is or if it's really there, be we think it's important. Once god is applied to anything, even in name, there is pretty much no way take it back.

    Jimquisition: A Different Kind of Difficulty

    More garbage from Jim. He was starting to.... no not really. Although hard can equal tedious, tedious does not equal hard.
