    Aion - what ever happened to the pretty graphics?

    OK so I've been looking at some screenshots of Aion and I can't help but wonder where the amazing graphics that were promised have gone to? I can remember being taken aback by them back in 2006, but now they're so meh. Following are a few screenies for comparison. Note that Guild Wars: Eye of...

    Why does Windows Firewall block Windows Update?

    In Windows 7 that is... Anyone have any idea as to how to allow it through (as it should logically do automatically)? It's frustrating having to turn the firewall off manually so that my PC doesn't shout at me for not checking for new updates. Thanks

    Are Z-boards worth it?

    As the title suggest. I've always been interested in getting one...mainly for the convenience they provide for some MMO's like Guild Wars and World of Warcraft. I did, however, see a friend's once briefly, and it looked rather strange. At least I think it was the default layout.

    Guild Wars 2

    Discussion is kind of hap-hazard at the moment and all over the place, so let's keep it to one thread :) ----- Rumour has it that the Guild Wars 2 trailer will be released in a few days time at some gaming convention. This is one rumour I REALLY hope is true. And I seriously hope the trailer...

    Battle.net Mobile Authenticator now available in South Africa

    You can get it from mobile.blizzard.com on MTN, Cell C and Vodacom and on quite a large number of phones. It's going to cost you $0.99 though and you'll need PayPal. Alas, it's not free like the iPod Touch and iPhone versions are.

    I felt like such a traitor.

    So this morning all enthusiastically I woke up to promote something at a local mall. When I got there...it was the Wii :eek: I felt like such a hypocrite encouraging people to buy the thing. Forgive me, brethren, for I have sinned :o

    The Chronicles of Spellborn Developer Goes Bankrupt, Frogster Announces Redevelopment

    As the title says, not long after launch, the NA version of the game will end in its current form and the game will be relaunched as a microtransaction-based game in 2010. Rather sad another indie developer went under :( The game was great, albeit their launch hurt the game badly.

    Are we going to start seeing the effects of SEACOM soon?

    I initially thought the SEACOM wouldn't do much for ADSL prices at inception, but whilst browsing the OpenWeb site yesterday I came across this. Basically it's uncapped 384Kbps ADSL for R599/month. Currently the cheapest product of equal calibre I can find cashes in at R999/month. That's quite...

    Twilight War3ZA Server

    OK, today I installed Warcraft III and The Frozen Throne. Could someone please give me a step-by-step guide on exactly what I must do in order to play on said server?
