AOL News

Posted by Mr Butterscotch as News, PC, Software Features, The Web

AOL has a massively long history on the Internet, being one of the firs tcompanies to really get people online (even if you don’t like the service they provide). Back in 1999 there was an acquisition of Netscape Communications Corporation, i.e. Netscape Navigator – one of the leaders in web browsing. AOL played a massive role in assisting the launch of Netscape 6 – which happened to be Mozilla based (the company behind the Firefox browser) but still Netscape branded. AOL was a major source of support for the Mozilla Foundation and the company continued to develop versions of the Netscape browser based on the work of said Foundation. Whilst Netscape Navigator was used reasonably widely prior ...

Play WoW using your Xbox 360 Controller

Posted by Jaren as Computers, Cool Stuff, Games, Online Gaming, PC, Software, Windows

I've been using my Xbox 360 Controller to play every game installed on my Vista Laptop, starting from Doom3, Civ3, Oblivion, Half-life 2, Halo, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, Battle for Middle Earth 2, Etc.. Even Using it on a few MMO's like Freestyle Online, and World of Warcraft. And the experience is great, better than the feeling of messing up my laptop keyboard, because of frustrated keypresses that leads to smashing your keyboard. Plus the neck strain because you have to be close to the monitor and keyboard at the same time. Now for Other games I used the Pinnacle Game Profiler Software,which is free to download but costs you if you want to upgrade it. For the game, World Of Warcraft ...

Bungie Leaving Microsoft

Posted by Jaren as Games, Gaming, Microsoft, PC, Random Thoughts, XBox 360

There's been rumors flying around, that Bungie makers of the Game Halo, is leaving Microsoft and is going to set out, to stake a claim in the gaming world to become independent company. An issued press release from Microsoft states that Bungie is about to to "embark on a path to become an independent company." Bungie, a company owned by Microsoft has been making loads of money and with the recent success of Halo 3, in my opinion they're well-equipped to be independent, Good for us gamers, we should expect the same kind of commitment and focus on the Xbox Platform and as well as opening up to other gaming platforms too. As Harold Ryan, studio head for Bungie said, ...

A Return to Oblivion

Posted by Mr Butterscotch as Games, Gaming Features, PC

One of the problems I've had recently is that my computer has been overwhelmed by spyware. My own fault I suppose, given that I was after an older piece of software that I should have left in the digital graveyard. Anyway, this has resulted in my hardware having to be completely wiped. And so I've started all over again. One of the things that I was genuinely surprised at was the amount of games that I had on my PC. The most obvious way that it came to light was the need to reinstall them - or rather the lack thereof. I'm not sure why, but I've always drifted toward completing console games before PC games. One ...

Microsoft to release gaming mouse

Posted by Rogue as Accessories, Computer Peripherals, Computers, Gaming, PC

I remember buying a Microsoft gaming peripheral almost ten years ago now. It was a Microsoft Sidewinder Joystick that I barely used because I realized a week after I bought it that I was not into flight simulations and using joystick to play first person shooters is a joke. Microsoft has built a good reputation for making game peripherals and it is banking on that reputation to sell its new product -- a gaming mouse. The company recently announced the Microsoft Sidewinder Gaming Mouse. The new product promises to have superb handling and highly customizable Among its features will be on the fly DPI switching,adjustable weights, interchangeable feet and even macro recording. It also ...
