New game I found the other day while searching around for something new.  The game is a space mining based.  The preview on their front page explains it a whole lot better.  It is currently in closed beta but you can get into it.  Theres a link on their homepage for that.  Once this goes public, it could be the mmo everyone has been looking for.

Anyone play?  For those of you who dont, its a game where you build stuff with legos (they dont have lego logo on the studs, which in this are square, due to coprright reasons but you get the idea).  The games includes things such as events (a sort of very basic programing), weapons, prints for bricks, vehicles, and all kinds of user created content which can be found on their forum.  The game can be played in single player or in multiplayer.   Many of servers have different themes like city build, death matches, dogfights, and of course freebuild.  There is a demo which limits you to 150 bricks or you can buy a key for $20 through the game's website.  The compunity is ok. Lately a lot of 7 to 9 yr olds have been showing up but its not to bad.

Here is a link to the website where you can buy a key,  look at screen shots, and visit the forum.

Ive looking around on google and havent found anything that would help. Currently I connect to the internet through a 2wire modem/router w/ wireless.  That sits in a room abover the basesment. My new computer (which is in the basement) isnt compatible with the usb adapter that came with so Ive been using a wireless usb adapter I picked up at Best Buy. It works for browsing the internet but for games like garry's mod it cant hold a stable connection. I was wondering if I could use the old router or modem I used to use to help me get a wired connection working.

Time to go looking for a new graphics card. My Dell Dimension 4600 needs a new card because the old card leaked crap all over the inside of the case.  If there is anything slightly better than a Nvidia  5200 fx then please let me know. 

Specs:
Pentium 4 CPU @ 2.80 GHz
512 MB of ram
Can be pci or agp compatible

Ive found a couple but I need to know if these will be any good.

Well, I finally after weeks of waiting and dealing with fedex got my new computer but Im having issues with starcraft. I found a fix for the color issues but it wont run in full screen. It runs in what I think is a 600 by 800 box while the rest of the screen is black.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

Currently I have a Dell dimension 4600. Its old but it does what I tell it, up until I install and try to run Call of Duty: world at war.  Ive done some research and found that my Nvidia GeForce 5200 isn't supported. I need some suggestions on what I should upgrade to. The computer currently has 512mb ram and outputs 250w. There is one agp slot and several pci slots (not express).  I really don't want to get a new computer (Ive only got so much money.)
