So I wrote a review, but published it as a blog instead of as a review because, like an idiot, I didn't see the "review" page. I've cleared the blog page, but now whenever I try to publish my review on the "review" page, it goes to an "404 error" page. Any ideas?

So when I posted this, it was in the "blogs" page. This was before I realized there was a "reviews" page. I'm an idiot. However, now whenever I try to copy and paste my review to the "reviews" page and publish it... I get an error 404 page. Any ideas?

20:32:25 Just tried that- saw some improvement, but some games still crash to desktop.  Audio sometimes cuts off.

For the tech savvy out there, hear my delimma.

I have as follows:

Intel i7 CPU 870@2.93Ghz   2.67 GHz
8Gb Ram
Mobo- ASUS P7P55D-E Pro

I used to have this:
NVidia Geforce 460 GTX SE

Then I upgraded to this:
760 GTX

Keep in mind I made sure to uninstall all previous drivers, and then install all of the new 760 drivers without issue.

Now when I try to run certain games, like Planetside 2 and FarCry 3, my computer sometimes crashes to a black screen- the PC goes on running, but there is no sound or visual.  Also, I occaisionally have start-up issues where the fan and lights come on, but the computer will not POST.  These sound like power issues.  I've noticed my internal heat rising on PS2, especially when doing drop-pods or flying.

Any ideas folks?  Is this a heat issue, or a power issue, or something else?  Any input would be useful.

Hey guys.

I bought my rig about 5-6 years ago, and at the time, it was a mean machine.  But I just got Rome 2, and it's finally starting to show it's age in a bad way.  It's also been giving me trouble with Planetside 2, although turning down the graphics didn't bug me as much until I started flying more.

Intel i7 CPU 870@2.93Ghz   2.67 GHz
8Gb Ram
NVidia GeForce GTX 460 SE

I'm looking at upgrade my video card- what would be a good recommendation that's compatible with my current rig, and would also garuantee I could play the next generation games with some degree of graphic depth- it doesn't necessarily have to be the newest and best.

Any input is good input, and I can provide additional info as needed.  Thanks guys!

I agree.  I am a fan of the classic point-and-click adventure games, I like RTS, turn-based RPG's, etc.  In otherwords, I play games other than shooters, and I found Heavy Rain uninspired and boring :/  I appreciate what it was trying to do, but the story wasn't very compelling, and I hate the whole character-hopping aspect.  Give me a choice of characters, or just stick me with one.  Jumping from perspective to perspective is frustrating and very unsatisfying, and makes it difficult for me to connect with any of the characters individually.  Story-wise, I found the forced emotional content kinda benign- it was like watching a soap opera rather than a movie.  The drama wasn't believable.  I dunno, in short, I wasn't particularly interested in the game.  I put maybe 3-4 hours in before I was bored to death.

Any info on this would be appreciated!  Do they still make joysticks like this for USB?

If you don't mind spending a little more money, Medieval II has an unofficial "retrofit patch" that lets you play the campaign hotseat, but fights between you and another player are just auto-calculated i think.
