Why I Might Just Re-Subscribe to Netflix (Hint: XBOX 360)

Peter Redmer — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 21:56:52 GMT

In addition, this new found desire of mine has been ill-timed with another event; my canceling of my Netflix service. I did this out of a want to save money, of course, but the anticipation of getting shiny new discs delivered to my doorstep is starting to become too hard to ignore. But, there's a few new features of Netflix that just may make me pull the trigger.

I have connected a wireless router to my computer and my Tivo, which are working fine. When I connected an ethernet cable from the wireless router to my PS2, I tested the connection through the PS2 and it was "successful", but when I try to log in, it tells me that a network cable is disconnected, even though I have over-rechecked both ends of the cable, and the wireless port is lit up where I connected to it. Do I have to turn everything off and connect while the router and computer are off? My friend said he just plugged and played, but I have had no such luck.

Are "Classic" Video Games More Fun?

Peter Redmer — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 19:30:44 GMT

I had been thinking about this quite a bit lately, and after sharing my old school NES collection with some members over at RoboCommunity , some members there agreed with something I've believed all along: that old or "classic" video games are more fun. Of course, old school games aren't as graphically impressive, and usually not as expansive, but somehow - at least to me - they were more captivating. Is this because gamers like me, who grew up having to use our imaginations rather than having FMV and CG shoved in our faces, simply appreciated old school gaming more? Is it a psychological thing - are we just reliving our youth with classic games? Or are "old school" games truly more fun and inventive? I have lots of opinions here but I'd really like to hear from the community first :)

Crysis Warhead

Hi Guys, I'm The Gamer in Australia. I just got into the new game out, Crysis Warhead . Anyone playing it as I am at a dead stop at the frozen aircraft carrier. I got all the baddies including the two vehicles and now it says I have to follow some Colonel. The trail leads to the side of the ship. I have even tried to set four charges to blow a hole in it's side, but that doesn't work either. I have looked for a walk through, but there doesn't seem to be one around. Can anyone help please?
