I know most of you are here to take part in the ongoing ban/hottie drama, so I'll make it easy for you.

Mecha tried out the recently released Half-Life 2 demo, and reported that it ran as smooth as butter.  This confirmed my confidence in the Source engine, and it's ability to make shit look good on just about any rig.  The same thing can't be said about Doom 3, which runs decidedly slower on the same hardware.  Unfortunately, my prescribed remedy still stands:  Put money into a new video card, then look at other options, like RAM and the hard drive.

I really enjoyed doing that little segment, and I'm sure Break feels the same way.  If anyone would like to come forward with there hardware questions in the future, please do.  The BMX crew always has something to say.  But beware, the crew does not believe in the idea of, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all."

BreakmanX (AKA Matthew Nyquist) founded BreakmanX.com in 2001 after having small video game websites since around 1996. Things really took off in September of 2002 when he started The Game Show with Richie. BreakmanX.com quickly developed a tight knit community of gamers as the crew covered major industry events and interviewed top industry talent. Break later went to the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts to get his MFA in Film and TV Production. He worked in Hollywood for seven years with people like Fred Roos (The Godfather Trilogy, Star Wars) and Dane Davis (The Matrix). He's now gone full circle and returned to Kansas to write and direct a feature film (EyesOpenMovie.com), relaunch The Game Show (BreakmanX.com), and spend his day time hours as an tenured Associate Professor.
