    TeeWorlds Problem

    I installed Windows 7 RC1 last night (after using Build 7000 since February), and for some reason TeeWorlds CHUGS along when I use it. In order to get my mouse from one side of the screen to another it takes a load of laggy mouse moving. Any ideas what's causing this? My other games are...

    Hidden Gems

    I thought I'd create a thread where we can recommend games that are totally awesome but hardly known (or mostly forgotten). I'll start: Future Cop: L.A.P.D (1998) - I had such a blast in this game a few years back. Apparently it didn't sell too well, but man was it awesome. You basically get...

    Xfire

    How dare we not have a thread for it! All that changes now :p For those who don't know: Xfire is a popular instant messenger for gamers. It tracks your total game time for a very wide range of games (and displays it on your online profile page), allows you to add friends and chat with them via...

    Entropia Universe

    Entropia Universe was the first MMO I ever played, known as Project Entropia back in the day. The idea behind it is that you deposit real world money into the game at the exchange rate of $1 to 10 PED, purchase armor, weapons, land and property with it, and then do as you please. You can make a...

    South African game development - will it ever be big?

    What do you guys think? I'd personally love to see local games being released internationally. I think we'd be perceiver as serious underdogs by the world, but can you imagine how that perception could literally change overnight if we were to get one smash hit out of the door? Not only would...

    Freerealms

    Free Realms www.freerealms.com Anyone here play it? It's aimed at the kids market, but it's still fun. It's completely free, as the name suggests. It was released less than a month ago and already has 1 million players! The client is an 8Mb download, which updates as it needs to when playing.

    Internet Problems?

    Is anyone else experiencing annoying internet problems? From the start of yesterday my DSL was very trippy, then at around 3:30 it totally bombed out. Spent aaaages on the phone with Telkom trying to sort it out, then gave up. It's working again as of around fifteen minutes ago, but it's so slow...

    New Blizzard MMO NOT an existing IP

    The community manager has stated on the official World of Warcraft forums that the new Blizzard MMO will be a new IP. I'd link to an existing article, but I'm sure Tinman would like to write his own :D

    OGame

    www.ogame.org Does anyone play it? It's a sci-fi text/browser-based MMO. It's pretty addictive I must say and definitely one of the better text-based games I've played.

    Rate the last book you read.

    Book - Southern Vampires (1): Dead Until Dark Author - Charlaine Harris Rating - 8/10 It's the basis for the TV series called "True Blood." The beginning was tedious, followed by random dramatical bits and a very dramatic finish. All in all it was a good read, albeit a tad cliche'd with regards...

    Who are you voting for?

    Please try to keep this clean of political flaming :) We have a nice community feel going on here and fighting is the last thing we need. So who are you voting for, if you're voting for at all? I'm personally a huge DA supporter, especially after seeing how excellently they've been running the...

    Recommend a Game

    Well, I really need something new to play, but I'm not sure what to opt for. I'm interested in a good RPG for PC or something of the sort. Essentially if anyone has an MMO client they're willing to share that would be even better! Thanks :)

    Enjoyed Pre-CU Star Wars Galaxies?

    Since SOE have ignored the pleas and protests of what was once their community, some of the community members have decided to take matters into their own hands. I present to you Star Wars Galaxies open-source! It's basically an exact copy of the pre-CU version of the game and it's totally free...

    Windows 7 and Netgear

    Has anyone had any luck using a Netgear wifi dongle on Windows 7? I have the WG111 v2 and it just won't work :( I need it to.

    The Thin Metal

    I'm not sure about any of you, but thin metal in contact with my mouth is not a pretty feeling. For example, taking a thin teaspoon knocking it against my teeth will send me running for the hills. It's sorta like scratching nails on a black board. Anyway, in my moment of genius today I decided...

    Wizard 101

    At first when I saw this game I thought "oh dear..." I decided to give it a try anyway, since someone on mmorpg.com recommended it. I downloaded it in full knowledge that it was created with kids in mind (a Harry Potter-like MMO with strict chat filters). All I can say is that I was extremely...
