If your going insane like I am, because Google have messed with the features which made me use Google in the first place, take another look at what we used before Google came along….

There are two ways you can stop BF2 from crashing to desktop (CTD). The first way is to, once BF2 has loaded and you have logged in, alt-tab back to windows, open the task manager, find bf2.exe, rclick and set affinity. Select only 1 core of your CPU(s).
The other option is to modify your BF2 shortcut:
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start /high /AFFINITY 2 BF2.exe
ensure that the shortcut has the correct ‘Start In’ setting eg:
“C:\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES\Battlefield 2″
This should work fine with any shortcut.
Note the affinity command line switch starts from 1 up, in my case, run bf2.exe on the second core.

Avatar isn’t flawless, and neither is Aliens and or T2, but that doesn’t effect me, I’m there to be entertained and Avatar does this in spades.
Yes the storyline is shallow and linear, but the story is told in a new and very entertaining way. The combination of industrial CG technology and great directing takes the standard ‘boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl’, ‘good guy – bad guy’ and ‘journey to self discovery’ and presents it in a new and interesting way.
For me, the 3D was very subtle with the exception of a few floating things, but I gather this was JC’s goal. Avatar is up there with the best science fiction movies of all time and will end up in a lot of peoples collections. 8/10 – if only the story was as good as the directing.
Well, this wasn’t what I was expecting… This is an awesome and excellent movie 10/10.
Title: G.I. Joe
Released(AU): Aug 6th

My rating: 4/10

While looking around for something new, I came across the Nvidia’s ’3D Vision’.
The list of supported games includes FSX, BF2, CoD and many more. Due to the use of hardware to generate the 3D stereoscopic view, a supported Nvidia video card is required (test your video card here). The Nvidia ’3D Vision’ drivers are approved by Punk Buster/Even Balance so there is no risk of getting banned or kicked from your favorite game. Nvidia state on their site: “We have worked closely with Even Balance to ensure players can enjoy a full 3D experience online”.
The Nvidia ’3D Vision’ drivers work to a large extent, at a hardware level. The software does not require 3D Stereoscopic support to work with ’3D Vision’, any software which utilizes ‘Direct3D’ can Continue reading – Is Nvidia ’3D Vision’ cheating? »
