Ok, here is a possible problem. You have to check the temperature while the game is running. Opengl graphics put a huge stress on the video chip. Idle temperatures have absolutely zero connection with stress temperatures. I've had video cards in the past that were failing and although they would be at normal operational temperatures when just surfing the net or whatever, they would spike and shut down once I opened CoH.

Not that I think it's necessarily a temperature problem. I also did a search and saw that some nvidia systems seem to be having the exact same problem with any game that uses opengl. And the only solution I've seen is lowering the resolution, and even that doesn't work for everybody. I'm sure a real solution will show up in a future driver release but until then we can only test programs or circumstances that might be adding to the problem.

I'll admit the Rikti are the only ones who feel alieny. They have spaceships and they beam down.

We need a giant mother ship event if their is going to be another alien invasion.

Good thing this thread is here. I'm feeling quite testy this morning.

Oh hell no. Do not want!!!

Now I'll say why and this is purely based on the trailer.

In the original series there was occasional use of shaky cam. Mostly during earth bending fights or large explosions. In other words where it makes sense. A large explosion or earthquake would shake a camera. But there was no sign of the obsession that Hollywood seems to have with hiring epileptic cameramen.

Now go watch the trailer again. A character jumps and the scene jitters. A character blasts and the scene convulses.

I didn't really notice it in the small window but the moment I played it full screen I wanted to yell at the imaginary cameraman to stand still. And since I intend to watch the series on my television rather than an ipod I'm not willing to deal with that. No matter how good the rest of the series may be that would be a deal breaker for me.

I fought the urge and fought it and fought it... but the urge won.

A baby seal as a weapon. I want to go seal clubbing.

Actually her appearance and actions wind up giving the impression that Herschel was at least partly right. I know he isn't but it gives that impression.

The other zombies charge out but she hesitates and hides until the last moment. Then she doesn't charge growling like the rest. She sort of hesitantly shuffles forward with an occasional snarl as if she is fighting the urge.

In other words if she acted like this in any other show the other people would be telling her "Fight it Sophia. I know you are still in there." and then she would start crying or say "Help me" or "I can't" or some such.

I just downloaded the book because I figure it's only a buck. And I will definitely give an unbiased review.

However I was forced to engage in a facepalm so violent that I now look like a pug. A third 5 star review has been added... by another one of your editors... who also has no other book reviews.

Sorry about that Lycanus.

Before you bother trying to search out and add other programs just turn off your firewall and see if you can connect. If you can then it's a firewall problem. If you can't then it's not the firewall and we have to look for some other explanation.

Lycanus. Good idea pricing your books at the dollar point. Makes less money for you but until you are known it will sell more copies. And at this point you want exposure, not cash.

However here is something important DO NOT (note the emphasis) let friends and family review your book. They will always give it 5 stars. And people who stumble across the book looking for something cheap to read will check out their other reviews. There is nothing that can kick a new author onto to the "never buy this stuff" list faster than having 5 star reviews by people who have never reviewed any books other than those by that particular author. The kindle market has been flooded with really terrible authors since it costs nothing to put a book there. As a result kindle readers tend to immediately check out the reviews to see if they follow the all positive reviews by people who have never posted another book review. There are even forum threads that exist for the sole purpose of telling others which authors to avoid.

You have a 5 star review on this book by a person listed as an editor. That's one step away from you writing your own review stating how you love your own writing and are looking forward to reading more of it in the future.

Also, look into hiring a professional editor. It is a huge investment but friends and family are never brutally honest even when they desperately need to be. If you won't go that route then ask some total strangers to critique your book. Give them $20, a double spaced printout, and a pen. If you only have friends and family help you hone your craft then you will be just like those singers on American Idol who show up and screech badly enough to make eardrums bleed and then are astonished by the criticism because their family always told them they were awesome.

Now the positive. Love the cover.

Are you on a home network or a college network? Sometimes colleges will block sites.

It's the star on top of the Christmas tree which will rise from the ground on December 15th.

Um... It's actually ok to say World of Warcraft now. Still no compare contrast but you can do things like mention the commercial or that they have a pug pet.

This happened to multiple people quite a while back. I can not remember what the solution was. I do remember that cycling through alt-tab one more time was a work around.
