I've been playing the CS series since 1.4, and I have to say that I love GO. I think all of the map alterations are done in good taste and help to balance the game out a hell of a lot more. There was a time when de_dust was so CT-sided that it was almost unplayable as a T. Now dust is about as...

Well, here we go: I recently helped my cousin purchase a new PC from a friend of mine. This PC has a discrete graphics card, but we had to use the integrated until we picked up a VGA to DVI adapter. Now here's the annoying part. As soon as we picked up the adapter and plugged everything in to...

The design aesthetic is just awful. I feel that if it weren't for the gloss finish, it'd definitely look a lot better. If I got the case for myself, I'd most likely take a scotch-brite pad to it to pull the gloss off.

So, basically what our friends in Japan have been doing for years.

Hey Rob, Have you had the chance to use Gnome 3.0 yet? If so, how does it compare to Unity? They look relatively similar, and seem to have the same overall goal in mind. I'd also imagine that since Unity is a shell running on top of Gnome 2.x, while Gnome 3.0 is its own environment, that...

As a clarification: When you slap the babes, it is not a slap in the face. You, as a character, are carrying the 'babe' over your shoulder and you give her a smack on the ass. Source...

Apparently MacBook Pro users don't really have any focus. The 6750M is absolutely abysmal, considering the amount of cash you plop down for one of these. $2,500?! I mean really?! I guess this doesn't really come as a surprise, though, considering Apple's been doing this for years. Don't get...

Oh god, I hope not. If such a thing happens, I'll be one of the first to start breaking the protection open. I might even hard-mod the thing, if they start hacking away at the features. I think Sony might have learned from the PSP and PS3 ( read: linux debacle ). They stated somewhere that...

I'm actually growing quite tired of nVidia for the most part. On the desktop side of things, they're re-branding the same cards over and over again. That is, until their release of gf100 next month. They've been relying on their old products and advertising muscle to keep them going. At least...

Geez, that's quite the price. On the topic of Frys, though: I actually have one like 20 minutes from my house in WA. It's pretty handy to have nearby when my internet connection is rather sporadic lately.

By my experience, maybe I should join an anti-terrorist force or a terrorist faction then.

Yeah, I'm just about done with every mainstream developer for the time being. It's the companies that struggle to gain a foothold that seem to put out the amazing titles. Indie is where I'm gonna stick as far as PC games go. Well, that and Valve, since FPS is pretty much all they do.

I'm actually disappointed in Infinity Ward beyond words. They used to be such a PC-oriented team of developers. You can look for a few minutes and dig up quotes showing this. Yet in recent years, they seem to have completely changed their position. Now they seem to hate us (PC gamers). Their PR...

This is the reason that PC gaming is in the crapper. And companies like EA and others blame piracy as the major factor in their sales. So what they do with that is they take out major pieces of the game or they resort to DRM measures. And the reason that Infinity Ward is doing their thing is...
