Go with Dell. They've got some of the best prices on the market, and almost every tech website agrees that Dell's LCDs are some of the highest quality available. The casing is solid, the colors and vibrant, and you'll get less dead pixels than other brands.

I know not you since you were giggling like a little school girl. Flame on!

Mine flips open, has speaker phone, and has a color screen. That is all the functionality i really need. It also plays the theme song from The Boondocks.

Hooray for banana phone!

I play as the Human Torch and just light up the entire screen with fire. Apparently some people find this annoying.

Back in my day, we called those websites.

Titan mode is a lot of fun (and you can gain a lot of XP playing it), but it's laggy as all hell. Part of the problem is the Titans are pilotable by the commander, meaning the inside play space is constantly moving, meaning all those turrets, shields, and players are constantly being refreshed by the server. Hopefully they'll patch it to account for the lag. I'm still having fun with the game, and I find the new XP system really compliments teamplay behaviors, which I appreciate. If you want to lone wolf it, you can still end up with 20 points a round, but if you guard points, resupply teammates, provide cover fire, and work as a squad, you can end each round with 50-100 points and level up extremely fast. Oh, and the buddy system works flawlessly. Valve should be feeling a lot of shame right now that they can't get theirs to work.

Not just that, It should be released as a "sorry-for-screwing-with-our-costumers-in-the-first-place-here's-alittle-FREE-sorry-from -us" You are a god damned business genius. Quit wasting your superior intellect here. Quickly! You can save the world!

Yeah well this Dell deal is handled in a pretty sleazy way. Questions like "What did you spend your annual bonus on?" were for example only displayed for the employes who identically answered "DELL Ultrasharp 24'' TFT 10024i1084012840812x PiXMA blabalala"... things like that annoy me. People scoff, but that really is what most people spent their bonus on. It's a fucking swet monitor. yeah, i'd get that 30" if i had the money. The thirty inch is actually shit. It doesn't come with the variety of inputs that the 24 inch does (thus no hooking up your dvd player or consoles). It doesn't have the card reader. And it's dual-DVI, so you're gonna need a card to support it. The 24 (while smaller) is still ridiculously big and has so many wonderful features that it's totally worth the $750 price point. You're basicaly getting a monitor and a TV.

Going to pick up Children of Mana later today. I have high hopes.

Well I think at this point it simply comes down to the fact that Sony knows they can get this much money off of stupid fanboys, so they're going to charge $700 a pop. When bluray costs come down, so will the PS3, and they'll start taking market share. The real question is how well the 360 and the Wii can claim market share in the meantime.

more like "BF2 with less vehicles and weapons but mechas" or "unlock the frag grenades on the internet" it gets REALLY annoying when you play it at a LAN with your friends, and that you can't unlock the basic skills you already had in bf2 thank you EA I agree it could suck on a LAN, but I find it to be a lot of fun on the internet. The leveling system is well thought out and forces you to invest in certain types of combat experiences if oyu want to get better (i.e. you can get more XP by learning to support teammates and follow orders, which also happen to teach you to play better as a teammate). If you're not sold on it, wait for it to drop to $30 in a few months. It will be well worth it at that price point.

So hessi just made up this month's contest because he wanted to make an ibex?

Mine is so much better it hurts.

Hahahahah! Dumbass.

The Shadow of the Colossus thing makes it really retarded.

I got it today, and I'm pretty happy with it. The weapons work a lot better than the demo weapons (the sniper rifle actually hits people!) and the leveling system actually seems better designed to reward quality playing vs spam tactics. Also, people seem to have settled down when it comes to the new vehicles, they tend to actually use them effectively vs running off and playing with them. Plus, they seem to have combined my two favorite classes (spec ops and sniper), so I'm very happy with my newfound death bringing.

George Bush isn't going to go down in history very well.

Some DICE employees have posted to say that it only tracks how many ingame ads you render per session and doesn't track internet usage outside of the game. So I'm torn. I'm inclined to believe DICE, yet I distrust EA.

I would also look into some general Design and Architecture books. A good handle of spatial design and architecture styles will go a long way. Plus they make nice coffee table books.

Got mine off Amazon when Mojo got his.

Meh, I want a new Monkey Island.
