@girdz: I agree. It is getting a little ridiculous. I never gave it much thought before, but anecdotally, it seems like more and more stores are breaking street dates recently, leaving games available to be streamed/pirated. I don't ever recall it being this bad or frequent before.   Can anyone who has paid attention comment on this?

In the tradition of Borderlands, Forza 3, and Modern Warfare 2, another full game is streaming live weeks before release (*sigh*).    http://www.justin.tv/wafflezone I can't guarantee the steam will be up when you read this, but since at least one store has already broken the street date, expect more early streams of AC 2 to follow soon. 

He's not physically moving to a different location, just changing jobs. Sorry if there wasn't enough clarity.  @dcpc10 said: " GL to him, his reviews were so damn amazing back in the golden gamespot days. Its such a shame we don't see much footage of him. I kinda wish he'd start a vlog or something. "100% yes.  Any form of writing or anything he could fit into his schedule would ...

Well wishes from Los Angeles. I hope you are happy at your new job!  This may seem silly, but you were the coolest person ever when I was in my teens. I know, logically, you were just an editor at a videogame website, but, even realizing that, you still were a large influence during those years. I'm not sure I could even explain why; and trying to explain would probably ...

No.

It's over for the night!  I only just caught the tail end of it. They said they will resume tomorrow night, with the option of watching live or archived footage.

I didn't see an announcement on the site, but there's a live broadcast going on over at Justin.tv Enjoy!http://www.justin.tv/giantbomb/old

There's a mysterious card in my computer, and I need to know whether it's critical to the system or not. So I turn to the PC literate to help figure out if I need to keep this. I'm building a custom PC and the number of PCI slots affects motherboard cost.The card is labelled as a FastTrak TX4200. Doing a little googling comes up with this page:http://www.promise.com/product/product_detail_eng.asp?segment=RAID%20HBAs&product_id=127 "Cost-effective Enhanced SATA ...

@darkgoth678: It's not the 7900 GS that needs the pins, it's the GTX 260 I'm getting to replace that. I wasn't quite clear on that. Thanks for the input.

So after spending many many hours doing research, I've finally narrowed it down to purchase time. Basically I'm upgrading my graphics card, as well as getting a new power supply and monitor (everything else is A-OK). If you could take a moment and review/help me out before I purchase, it would be appreciated. Monitor: looking to get a new one for under $200. Here's what I came up with:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236050Graphics card: ...

I'm currently looking to build a new system, but have no idea about any graphics cards, system specs or whatnot. Seriously, the last time I knew anything about building a PC the new big thing was the Radeon 9800. Yeahhhhhh. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could point me to some good sites (or give me some tips) that would help me get back into the PC building scene. The ...

So, while I was browsing through the live streams of random games over at justin.tvhttp://www.justin.tv/directory/gaming(word of advice, avoid the Halo 3 casts unless you want to hear 13 year olds being idiots) when, for the first time, I decided to click on the social tab at the top of the page.http://www.justin.tv/directory/socialI burst out laughing. Lo and behold, the entire front page is filled with webcams of teenage aged girls sitting ...
