There may be additional skill points rewarded for achievements and stuff, like the original too.

Among my gamer friends, there's one single word I can utter at any given time that can cause instant and very audible groans: "Ubisoft". Now, it's not because Ubisoft publishes bad games, because the reality is quite the opposite. The problem instead lays with the company's insistence on...

Depending on where you're located at the time, calling for a cab can be a true exercise in patience. You might see 10 or more empty-seated cabs pass by, just out of reach, or you may not be anywhere near an area where you could simply hop in one. For these and other reasons, apps like "Uber" are...

With comments made in a preview document for the upcoming CloudGamingUSA conference, EA Labels' President Frank Gibeau has stated that he hasn't green-lit a single game that doesn't have an online component. He further states, "Today, all of our games include online applications and digital...

It'll even provide encouragement via the voice of your favorite Police Academy Lieutenant, Harris... "Move it, Move it, Move it!!!"

Well, it looks official: Black Mesa is soon upon us. Not sure what I'm talking about? No one could blame you, given the storied history of the game. Kicked-off in 2004, Black Mesa intended to be an accurate representation of the original Half-Life - just with all of the goods that Valve brought...

The delay of openSUSE 12.2 has been hard to ignore, but looking over everything that this just-released version brings to the table, it seems it hasn't been for naught. 12.2 boasts all-around performance improvements, thanks to features introduced in the 3.4 kernel and also Systemd 44. Glibc has...

The worst thing about summer is that it ends, but as we look ahead to the fall, we hold hope that there are going to be a lot of stellar games for PC released. At the very least, we have Borderlands 2 set to drop in a couple of weeks, yet another Call of Duty (Black Ops II) and even another...

Main system here is 11436 (1.3 years) on a WD Black drive. Nothing special there. But... *rummages through his ancient collection of semi-deceased drives* An old 80GB Maxtor drive at... 38781 (4.4 years)... Wonder what the drives are like on my server... probably not that spectacular.

How titillating. I have breasts, people are welcome to squeeze'um for cash... for... urrr... my charity... yeah... No refunds on loose hair... Oh who am I kidding, that's just a tad creepy.

Do you enjoy day-one DLC? Chances are good that you do - at least if you consider BioWare's Director of Online Development Fernando Melo's words to be gospel. He believes that day-one DLC helps cater a developer's launch to all players, including those who tend to complete their game in just a...

For fans, there are three choices that I'm aware of if you want to push air through the rad, rather than pull. These fans are focused with a high static pressure. Their CFM will appear lower, but are more effective at forcing air through tight spaces. Corsair SP120 High preassure - (has a quiet...

Well, I've replaced nearly every single component on this board. The two 100k resistors were replaced with 10k to reduce the gain, so there's more travel on the volume control. It's not as loud, but there's finer control. By comparison, 1/4 volume was very loud with low impedance headphones. I...

Thank you kindly. There are so many other games I could/should have mentioned, but I'd be here forever if I did; most of the games listed are ones that I have played. I have never played Minecraft, but I'm aware of the strong community behind it, so I should have at least mentioned it. I really...

When/if I get the other parts in like the power adapter, balanced potentiometer, and it all works with no noise, I'll write it up. Honestly though, there really isn't anything complicated apart from desoldering. Fixing the 'pop' when it's turned on will likely require an extension, but I'll see...

This is part of the problem atypicalguy had. Although he was in Linux, he couldn't get any sensor information that correlated with the Tesla. This may be either a driver problem or it just doesn't have a sensor. Only thing that could be done was to attach a sensor to a fan controller or...

Glad you got everything up and running. Let us know how things are holding out after a week or so. Guess you have to figure out what to do with all the air cooling kit now :p. I wouldn't be too concerned with going from GPU > CPU in the chain. Water cooling is much more efficient and...

Personally, I couldn't unless someone gave me specifics. At some point, sure, but I'd need to do a lot of reasearch first. Also, a plastic case would be bad, need grounding and lots of it (a lot of designs use the case as a ground-trunk). Don't get me wrong though, the temptation is there.
