    Gaming Malware help

    OK, this is just not funny anymore. I've been trying for DAYS to get rid of some malware (trojans, rootkits, virus, whatever) I have on my PC to no avail, and I just can't take it anymore. I can barely use my PC because this keeps interrupting my work. It's on every fucking SD/USB stick I have...

    Gaming New to Linux

    So... I was studying yesterday, when my PC started acting up. It filled the CPU to the max, causing it to get hyper-slow and crash. Probably a virus or something, but I couldn't scan it with an antivirus. So I said, "fuck you, Windows XP. It's the second time in less than a month I have to...

    [E3 2009] And the winner is...

    So, now that the big console-making companies -- Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft -- have presented their products for this season, who do you think has shown the best? Was it Sony, with it's new motion-based controller, God of War 3 and FFXIV? Was it Miscrosoft, with Project Natal and The Beatles...

    Gaming Overheating problem

    That's the SpeedFan report from a friend's laptop. She's having problems with most of the games she tries to play, specially those that are intense on the graphics side, like Oblivion or Assassin's Creed. After just a couple minutes, the PC shuts down. As you can see, the temperature of the GPU...

    Viva la viral

    I'm a supporter of Norwegian Recycling (great, great artist), so I thought I should spread his gospel in GBAtemp (Sorry if it's been posted already, the search yielded no results.)

    What's the last book you've read?

    Yes, this is a gaming community, I know. And I also know that most people nowadays don't like reading books... But what are you reading right now? What's your latest book read? For me, the last book I've read is Paradise Lost, by John Milton. It's mind-blowing, I strongly suggest you read it if...

    Hardware GameCube controller support

    Don't know whether this topic has been asked before, but my search yielded no results. I bought GameCube controller today, mainly to play SSBB as I used to play SSBM, and VC games. As soon as I get a GameCube memory card, I'll get some GameCube games. But I'm wondering which Wii games support...

    Hardware Help with disc ejection

    I don't want too sound too desperate, but I am. You see, a certain person I... like... gave me a Wii of a friend of her's to softmod it for her. It's a breeze, I told myself. Well, modding is easy. But the problem is that, somehow, the internal button that makes the Wii eject the disc has...

    Dead Space: Extraction (Wii)

    Read more at the source. Can't say it looks bad. If they actually deliver what they promise, this could be one of the best Wii titles so far. (Sorry if it was posted already, didn't find it in the USN forum.)

    Secret Key event through NWC

    The key-item "Secret Key", which grants the player access to Rotom's alternate forms, will be given through Mystery Gift over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and in-store Toys R Us distribution hotspots. Given the popularity of Pokémon Platinum in these boards, I thought this would be nice to...

    Help needed!

    This will sound really odd: I need a severed hand. Before you freak out, let me explain. You see, I'm working on an in-depth analysis of The Duchess of Malfi, by John Webster. In case you don't know the play, it features a well-known scene in which Ferdinand, the Duchess incestous brother...

    Gaming Recording TV with a PC

    I got a VGA cable today (because HDMI is just too expensive) to connect my laptop with my HDTV. So far, the connection is good, the image quality is great. Now I'd like to record some programs and movies, but I don't know where to start. I know that I must get an app that records from the TV...

    Hacking 3-in-1 acting up

    My EZ Flash 3-in-1 has been giving me some problems lately. About three weeks ago I beat Wario Land 4. Everything was fine, I loaded the game through the CycloDS' GUI to the PSRAM. Now I'm trying to play Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen, but I'm having serious problems with the saving system. If I...

    Hacking Slow Cyclo?

    I've noticed that my CycloDS Evolution + Kingston Japan 1GB TF card combo is significantly slower than my old M3 Simply with the same card. Pokémon DP, for example, takes more than 4 "hours" to save (if you've played the game, you'd have noticed that there's a little clock that appears when...

    Gaming New CPU

    Hey, guys. For a time I've been thinking about changing my good ol' Pentium 4HT 3.06GHz processor for something newer. It is fairly new and works well still, but I'd like to upgrade it to, at least, a Core 2 Duo, since they are dirty cheap right now. My only problem is the mobo: I don't know...

    Gaming Quake 4 texture issues

    For once, I decided to buy a game. Quake 4 was only €15 so I said "heck, why not". I installed it, updated to the latest version but I can't make it use High Quality textures. No matter what I do, the game is stuck in Low Settings, just like in the picture. I have tried tweaking the .cfg file to...

    Love, sex and relations...

    Well, the poll speaks for itself. I'm amazed by the amount of threads from people with these kinds of problems, so I decided to conduct a little "public research" on the matter. Is there something bothering you? Do you want to ask that cute girl out but don't know how? Has a friend of yours...

    I don't know if I should take the title seriously and start my own "... Recommends" section, but I've just finished reading this comic and I feel the urge to make you all read it. Batman #686 - Whatever happened to the Caped Crusader? #1 is written by Neil Gaiman, of The Sandman fame. You can...
