Need to setup a system for basic voice acting/dialogue.

Hey everyone, I need to develop dialogue for a Fallout New Vegas mod very soon and I need something decent to record with, other than a computer microphone. I'm on a college budget so I can't afford a lot right now. I won't really need this setup for anything else, just some basic voice acting. I ne...

Mass Effect takes roughly 42-72 hours to play if you play it correctly. ME is a VERY VERY deep RPG game that takes some thinking to play and it revolves mostly around your interactions with people. Things that you do in ME1 WILL effect ME2. An hour is certainly not enough time to understand any dece...

New XBox: 4GB vs. 250GB?

So the new XBox has come out for $200. I was really hoping that it would at least have a 60GB HDD and this was really expected. I figured it would be a nice replacement for my XBox 360 that was stolen a couple of months ago along with my 120GB HDD. However, the new one has a whopping *sarcasm* 4GB o...

Holy crap! Typo... I meant a 7600GT lol. I know a 9400 wouldn't be an improvement over a 9600 :P

Thanks for the tip on the RAM. I've had a tech I used to work with tell me otherwise but I always figured 2 Gigs was enough. A new Proc or just a better video card might be a better investment overall.
