I'm trying to play now, 6/29/11 20:23. Can't get into EA, game starts, can't log in.

Thanks for the wishes of good luck. I have three grades that depend on the final exams. My current grades in each of these classes is between 87% and 89%, I have to get almost perfect scores on all three exams to get A's. It sucks but I think I'm just gonna have to settle with three B's and an A, I'm still waiting for confirmation on the A. I'm bummed out about this semester.

Next week is finals week, I've had all of my projects coming due and I've never been so stressed ever. After next week I'll be back on the battlefield with you guys. I should have said something sooner. Thanks for not giving me the spring cleaning boot. See you guys soon, Tilgado

As part of a mondo two-year content deal that Netflix has signed with CBS, episodes from every generation of Star Trek will arrive on the Watch Instantly wunderservice starting in April. It's unclear exactly how many episodes or seasons are included in the offering, but if they decide to leave some of Voyager off the table I'm okay with that. http://m.gizmodo.com/5767471/episodes-from-every-star-trek-series-ever-coming-to-netflix Just saw this thought some of you Trekies would be interested.

Tiny. I'm still messing around with it I don't really see the iPhone as a valid fps gaming system. I couldn't pass it up it was $0.99, I figured that was a good deal. My fingers cover the majority of the screen so that's taking some getting used to. ;P

I downloaded BFBC2 for my phone last night. Gave myself a headache and hand aches playing it just now. Does anyone have it, add tilgado as a friend. Haven't played online yet, just the campaign stuff so far. Seems fun for the most part.

Don't defrag it you'll burn it up. Or so I've read.

Please be careful, those things are dangerous because other drivers are r-tarded.

Saturday, I'm here. Sorry for missing yesterday.

Congratulations!!! That is great, have fun with the new position. Maybe your time away will let me get a few more points before we next meet.

What game?

I've been noticing the sever population, its way up and the servers stay almost full almost all of the time. Did dice or ea do something to fix up some stuff? This a great thing for the servers. I am still unable to add the armory servers to my favorites, so that's why I was wondering if the server browser had been fixed.

Have any of you guys installed these yet? I did yesterday and my frame rates improved dramatically. I went from 20~25 in fire fights to 37~39, and from 46 to 69 in normal situations. I'm running SLi, I think these new drivers made a difference, I keep cranking up the settings and I'm only losing a frame or two for every bump up towards the high gfx in the game.

I'll be on 16:30ish, once I'm done on campus.

I gonna try to make it!

I gonna try to make it!

Yeah it sucked, we sure could have used your help. The A squad was doing all the work. Of all the things to look for in a name they have "KY" as a flag? They must have ughm "issues". We'll find one that will accept your bad a$$ednes.

What time? I'll be on until about 7:15 Central US time. Grenich Mean Time -6 hours

I'll wait until you guys start giving reviews of COD5. I don't want to waste money on it if I can't play it. COD4 gave me migraines.

Windows 7: What Happened to Gaming? VIA: http://kotaku.com http://kotaku.com/5384543/windows-7-what-happened-to-gaming In 2006, then Microsoft Vice President Peter Moore apologized for what he called a dereliction of duty to the company's number one gaming platform: The PC. Now more than three years after promising, and some say failing, to deliver a PC gaming renaissance with the Vista operating system, Microsoft is set to roll out Windows 7. But this time there are no apologies or promises. PC gaming, it seems, has taken a back seat. When Windows 7 goes on sale on Oct. 22, PC gamers will have little reason to run out to buy it, says Matthew Murray, managing editor of ExtremeTech. "I don't think there's a lot about (Windows 7) that's going to make it that much more compelling to gamers than Vista," Murray said. "It's a bit better using memory, and it's a bit faster in certain areas, but the performance overall isn't really that much different. If you have Vista and you're happy with it, you can probably keep it, at least for now." To be fair, much of that promised renaissance in 2006 was tied to the Games for Windows initiative, which launched alongside the Windows Vista operating system. While the two hit at the same time, they're not directly connected. The biggest idea behind Games for Windows was to make it easier to play games on your PC. This was done by creating a set of criteria that computer games needed to meet to have the Games For Windows label on their box. Those criteria included compatibility, easy installation and including parental controls. There were also a number of neat ideas tested out, but never fully realized. Most computer games require an installation before playing, but the Tray and Play option was meant to allow gamers to pop a game in their computer and start playing almost immediately, similar to what most console gamers experience now. Unfortunately, only one game, Halo 2 for the PC, currently uses this system. The most noticeable way in which Vista and Games for Windows crossed over was the operating system's Game Advisor and Games Explorer. The Game Advisor ranks a person's computer and available games making it easier to tell if a title would play on a PC. The Games Explorer was meant to collect all the games installed on a computer and display them in one folder. It's here that Window 7 does bring a modicum of improvement for gamers. One of the biggest issues with Games Explorer was that it often didn't detect games that were purchases through online retailers and providers like Steam. While Windows 7 still doesn't seem to include Steam in the Game Explorer, it now has the ability to if the company wants to support the service. If a game provider does choose to be listed in the Game Explorer, computer owners will be able to view news from the service and information about the service's games, all inside the window. Another update to Games Explorer allows you to be notified when a game you own has an update or patch and then install the update from the explorer without having to launch the game. Finally, Games Explorer will track statistics for the games you play, showing you how many times you've played, how long and your win and loss ratio. Currently only the included games seem to support this function, but I'm sure more will include it after the operating system officially launches. Murray says the only improvement he can find in Windows 7 for gamers is in the Games Explorer, but even he doesn't find it that useful. "Being able to check for updates for all your games in one interface is a nice feature, but since it doesn't install the updates automatically (the way Windows Update itself does), I don't know how useful that's going to be to a lot of people," he said. "And I've never gotten that into using the Games Explorer anyway?I tend to just add icons to the new taskbar, as with everything else. Aside from that, there aren't a ton of game-friendly changes I've come across." The problem I have with Windows 7, though, isn't its failure to vastly improve the gaming experience, it's Microsoft's failure to take advantage of the attention brought by the launch of a new operating system to once more thrust PC gaming into the spotlight. The biggest promise the Games for Windows initiative made when it initially was unveiled was that it would be backed by a huge marketing campaign, one similar to the push Microsoft gave the Xbox 360 when it hit. But that was never fully realized and PC gaming was left to suffer as a second favorite system next to the Xbox 360 and Microsoft's continued marketing blitz for its gaming console. In the vacuum left by Microsoft game developers, chip manufacturers and PC builders have come together to try and reinvigorate PC gaming though the PC Gaming Alliance. But even this effort seems oddly absent during Window's big week? If Microsoft want its PC gaming platform to thrive they will need to do more than offer lip service in the future. But with the lasting success of the gaming console and PC gamers' ability to seemingly put up with anything, why should they? Microsoft declined to comment for this article.

I'll try not to cough on you guys.

I've got the swine flu.

Also have Star Wars Battlefront 1 & 2. ETQW.

Yeah, he hacks, he has no scruples. He's told me so.

That server is for stat padders. I got in trouble their too, the only thing you can do on that server without getting banned, is sit in a vehicle. They told me they set the server up for people who want to get vehicle points while they go to work, or over night. They've already been reported to EA but EA doesn't seem to care. You getting baned wasn't personal, you just didn't do the rules according to THEM.
