Not sure if this really belongs here or in the computer advice forum, but here goes. I'm considering picking up a PS3 for its Bluray capabilities and occasional game fun time. What wireless router do you recommend that will work well with the PS3? Other uses will include iPhone around the house internet access, and who knows, maybe a wireless music server a la Squeezebox at some point in the future. I was actually just at Best Buy (which I realized, tonight, without a doubt, that I hate, and I will try to never go in there again) and almost bought a standard Linksys router for $80 or so, but I got cold feet when I realized I didn't know if I'd need something more…

I'm normally a run and gun kind of player, but after repeatedly playing Firing Range map so much and losing to the biggest camping whores (lying down in the garage, hallways, etc.) I decided to show them what REAL camping is about. Here's a video of a match from last night where I went 37-0. Attack Dogs + Chopper Gunner = Massacre. Follow through click to the Youtube link for the 720P version. -Ed

Making a thread for DotA since there are probably enough of us here that play. I started playing again, and would like to discuss general strats. Any suggestions to get better with Clock? I've only played a few games, but I really can't get my head around him

Which is better and why?

Any HC'ers want to meet up to crawl through D3 together? Lets use this thread to coordinate. I plan on getting the game sometime next week and I should be good to go if others are interested.

This is a freeware game inspired by the play controls in Super Metroid. It's the best freeware game I've ever played. I highly recommend picking it up and playing it if you have some free time. It's about 8 hours long and fun all the way through. It's available for both mac and pc, it works on Vista fine. Cave Story (Doukutsu Monogatari), A Tribute Site

We have a couple games bumping around the "What Are You Playing" thread, as of late, so I thought it might be cleaner to use this space to discuss the greatest of those games, Elite:Dangerous. I'll grab some screenshots of my lousy ship and uninspiring progress later tonight, to get things started.

I'd always wanted an online co-op first person shooter zombie survival game. And it's coming out. It's looking really awesome. There are some new footage from PAX up on Gametrailers.com -Ed

Didn't think any PC game (other than Diablo 3) would grab my attention, but it seems Spore might well do that. Comic-Con Demo by Will Wright: Exclusive: Spore - Comic-Con demo

After being curious about the game for years but never knowing anyone who played, I finally found a group about six months ago and headed off to Wildemount. I absolutely love this game. Since then, I've started running my own games, all online (due to COVID and practical restrictions). Any other dorks of this particular stripe on HC?

So I told myself I wouldn't play Fallout 3 until I completely exhausted Oblivion. Well I haven't completely exhausted Oblivion, but I thought I'd play Fallout 1 and 2 before I play Fallout 3. I actually never played the original Fallout games. Fallout 1 is great! Definitely holds up, and I'm really enjoying it. Well, up until now. I was doing the Brotherhood mission to head to the glow. I'm not using a walkthrough or anything, but I did read to get some Rad-X and Radaway. I took some rad-x before I went in, and ran the whole dungeon, but now I always die a short while after I leave. I don't have enough radaway to clear all my radiation, and taboot I saved so mu…

Yes, I have lost my mind and spent an assload on actually getting the Fanatec CSR Wheel, shifter, and Elite Pedals like in this picture (not mine pictured, but I have the same set up, including the stand). Although, I did sell off a few nice knives to fund this purchase... The game looks and feels fantastic. I must admit the collaboration / co-branding with Top Gear has pushed me over the edge with getting stuff for this game. Also, the fact that they support true H pattern shifter, is why I got it. Flappy Paddles and Sequential shifter is there as well. The amazing Auto Vista mode (a spin around the car gallery tour, with a feature narration by Jeremy Cl…

Any RPG geeks out there? Playing EQ2 myself on Najena Server (Mordom is my character, 80 Bruiser) http://eq2players.station.sony.com/characters/character_profile.vm?characterId=651363102

READY FOR ACTION! And coming to the XBox 360 Arcade. http://snowblind.com/Death_Tank_1280x720.wmv Fuck yeah, it's about damn time. I like the updated graphics, yet they still kept the core controls and feel of the game, right down to how the force shield behaves. -Ed

So who bought Halo 3 today? Any impressions yet?

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus are two of my favorite PS2 games. I highly recommend any PS2 owners get these two games, you should be able to find both for under $20 each. Ico Shadow of the Colossus Both games have the most realistic environments I've ever seen in a video game and really make you feel like you're part of the castle or the imaginary world of SotC.

Is anybody else picking this game up? I know I sure am tomorrow after work. I haven't been this phyched for a game since GTAIV and that was like a whole month ago.

So tonight I was playing Resistance Fall Of Man. Deathmatch... which is basically a free-for-all. This one guy kept camping and spawn killing. I called him out and kept killing him since he was staying in the same spot. This guy got so pissed he said "Where do you live?" ? I told him... He says "I'm 20 minutes away. What's your address U fuck? I'll be there with my boys in 20 minutes." Needless to say the rest of the players were like WTF? Of course you know me. I had to keep needling and killing him! I tried to tell him that if my door came down then 12 gage buckshot would follow. Everyone was laughing by the time it was all over. Can't believe …

Yes, I'm a sucker for Zelda and Nintendo Portables. I pre-ordered the Switch and Breath of the Wild. Anyone else getting the Switch? I still have my original Game Boy from 1989. Also many other iterations afterwards. I'll have to post a Nintendo Portables line up picture when I get the Switch.

Was in the middle of GTA4 and it froze up and shut down. Now when I try and turn it on it stays on for 3 seconds then shuts down and beeps 3 times. The light flashes red as well. Anyone know if this can be fixed or is it going to be a trip to Sony? I've got one of the early 80 gig ones that has the hardware emulation for older Playstation games.

I ask because I want to learn how to do this. I don't know which emulators are the best nor how to work them. Any help?

So I bought this a few days ago, I've been a big fan of whole Unreal series since the original UT came out. I'm happy to say that UT3 continues to have the same fast paced action and absolutely killer graphics as the previous iterations of it have. The Warfare game mode is pretty badass as well. Unfortunately the menu design absolutely blows. It looks like it was put together by a 5th grader and was clearly done so that it would play well with consoles. They are apparently going to fix this in a future patch so I'll be keeping an eye out of that. As I mentioned the graphics are really fantastic, the environment and character textures are well done and very detailed.…
