I have been an avid player of Call of Duty 4 since release. Back in the day, I was heavy into Quake 2 and Quake 3 (and Doom prior to that), but pretty much stopped gaming for a few years after Q3. Not just shooters mind you, but all games. That changed when I played Company of Heroes and soon after ...

VL Forums Restored

We had an issue with the forums the last couple days that required a restore of the database. Long story short, we were not as diligent as we should have been, hence the outdated database. We apologize for any inconvenience, though it was us who had all the headaches. :blow me:

I've owned a 2nd gen Nano, 5th gen 60GB and a 6th gen classic. I picked up a V2 Touch this week. As a long time iPod user, I have to admit there's a bit of a curve using this.

Reg price I read was close to $1600, so this is $1000 off since I paid $600. What sweetens the deal is it also comes with a grill co...

I went to an editor's day when they were launching their first Socket-T board. They made a lot of bold claims and had a lot of us really excited. I think we know how quiet they went soon after. We'll see if this latest comeback holds any steam.

My new Grill. Bow to me.

Ok, the picture is NOT of my backyard, but the grill is exactly as is. Just bought it 2 hours ago, but the 3 feet of snow here is going to delay assembly for 2-3 months.

I was gonna mention the same thing. Maybe try in another system, as well as a different monitor. I'd also try a different PSU. It usually is a video issue what you're describing, but it could be power as well.

I think there are talks of a sequel, but I would prefer they not do the hand held camera thing again. I had some major problems watching the movie. Frikken image stabilizer cameras have existed for years. You'd thing a VP of a company can afford a better camera. If you go to the official website, I ...

If you have all the parts in hand, it should take less than an hour. Since the DB8 was my second try, I did it in 30 minutes.
