I'm up for this. A Monday or Wednesday would work best for me. Thursdays are out, Fridays are doubtful. Since I have the misfortune of living on the east coast these days, it would be nice if we could start earlier in the evening.

In theory, exposure to bright blue light, such as sunlight or normal monitor light, promotes wakefulness. This can potentially interfere with your sleep, and conversely it might be that using f.lux means your naturally encroaching tiredness is no longer warded off by your monitor's glow. I've...

Many PS3 users complain when the 360 gets formerly exclusives games from their system and vice versa. Porting from the PC is not like that. When a version of a game is suddenly announced for the opposing console it's very unlikely to mean that the levels will be half the size, that the textures...

Watched the scene on youtube, and from the look of it, Qui-Gon took it squarely in the upper center of the abdomen. Such a strike would probably miss the lungs and puncture the stomach or intestines instead, but the real problem is that it looks like the saber would have nailed his spine. This...

Hey I wouldn't sweat it, the simple unfortunate truth is that there just hasn't been as much interest shown in BF3 as some of the other games we run. In truth there hasn't been a whole lot for you to organize in the first place. Moving forward the key thing to do is probably to organize a game...

For my part, of the styles of desks I've tried I've found the most comfortable to be a simple large desk surfaces with no major addons. Putting a keyboard tray or drawer over your legroom makes it more cramped, plus the instability of a tray can sometimes be annoying. Drawers and cabinets are...

Battlefield 3 is apparently going for $30 on Origin. Not the preferred digital distribution platform, but you don't have a choice on this one. I'd say that the game is more than worth it it for that price, and that you should overlook any hangups about Origin.

Not to crush your dreams or anything, but realistically at best you can look forward to waiting a good long while for PS3 mod tools to be released and then hoping that a no blood mod is released. Honestly I'd say that the odds of all that lining up is slim to none. -No serious mod tools have...

This game has already devoured the majority of my four day weekend and still I feel like I've only scratched the surface of its content. I'm loving it, brings back a lot of nice memories of Morrowind that Oblivion mostly failed to reproduce. The interface could be better, and I've encountered...

Preloading the game now, Origin/Battlelog name is the same. Also, if it hasn't been brought up before I favor Fridays and Saturdays for game nights, other nights are much busier for me.

There's nothing here but a petulant rant more befitting a highschooler than the college graduate the writer claims to be. His "points" are all laughably simplistic and underdeveloped, not meriting a response at all. These people are deluded, they write these things not because they have a...

Having poked around the beta for a little while I can say that, while I'm still irked at the principle behind the thing, Origin really hasn't been bad. It kind of ends up just sitting there taking up space, mildly annoying, but hardly a deal breaker. Honestly I would be more shocked at people...

Man, the thought of a new Battlefield release is exciting, I've had many good times with prior games and looking forward to many more with this one. Steam and Origin: Shadetaker

I didn't buy some of the item DLCs, but that shouldn't stop me being able to play. I would like to get in on some of this, especially since I never actually finished the game. I do have a big test this week though, so I may be limited in when and how much I can play.

I want to play this game so bad! So bad! Curse you faulty boot drive, why did you have to fail on the very day the game came out!? Why did you have to fail on what incidentally happened to be probably my worst day at work since basic training!? Why did the government issued laptop that I was...
