    Anyone part of Stanford U's Folding@Home project?

    Our collective time would probably be better off used to further one of the already-established teams that are out there. CF may have a large userbase, but I suspect very very very few among said users couldn't care less about F@H.

    XBOX Live Gamer Tag List

    Methinks one of these Gamertag topics needs to be stickied. Anyway, you can find me from time to time playing under 'Celebedhel'. I generally stick to Halo 2 or BF2: MC.

    Best laptop brand

    Dell Insperion 6000 - EBay New - Should I?

    Goty 2005

    AOE = Age of Empires. The only platform I still game on would be the Xbox, and as I loved several games that were released on there I won't bother trying to pick just one. Indigo Prophecy, Battlefield 2, Far Cry, Brothers in Arms...

    Eight Myths About Video Games Debunked

    It isn't our logic that's flawed here. If you've ever participated in a formal debate, you should know that correlation does not equal causation. One can find a casual connection of some kind between any two arbitrary things, abstract or concrete. You can parade one of these around all you...

    Video Game's Anonymous?

    Er... sorry, not what I meant =:P It should read 'Video Games', without the quotes. It's plural, not possessive.
