    Star Wars: The Old Republic - First Impressions

    Space Fights are awesome... really, I've done this same mission 10 times in a row, and it's still fun, recorded one of my earlier attempts at it. Dodging asteroids the size of.... well... asteroids, while trying to blow everything up that moves can get a little tense in places. Watch in...

    Star Wars: The Old Republic - First Impressions

    There are quests targeted at multiplayer, Heroics and Flashpoints in this case, these are 2 and 4 man teams. Some of the Heroics can be done solo if you have the gear and skill to pull them off, part of what makes it a challenge. Some of the main story quests also throw a number of challenges at...

    Star Wars: The Old Republic - First Impressions

    You don't need to team up with people, they will still be there in chat, and you will see them run by, but you can play the game and most of the quests as single player, summoning different companions helps too. Still need to pay for the subscription though.

    Logitech Wireless Keyboard K360 Review

    If it's anything like the Marathon mouse, you don't need to switch it off manually, since its rather smart when it comes to sleeping (though a little slow waking up). After using the marathon for a while, the 3 year life is based on a more relaxed usage pattern. For heavy users such as us...

    Healthiest and unhealthiest restaurants in the US

    Hidden ingredients, love them. "But I thought all ingredients had to be declared?" - Actually... no, they don't. I recently bought a loaf of brioche (I have a soft spot for it, can't help it), looking on the back for ingredients, there wasn't anything out of the ordinary until I read the allergy...

    Healthiest and unhealthiest restaurants in the US

    Going by the statistics of their 'best' meal... and of the disclosed nutritional numbers. I would put Subway nowhere near the top. Trying to get them to give up any nutritional information is hard enough, but they tend not to disclose flavour enhancers or even all the ingredients used in the...

    ASUS G53SX 15.6-inch Gaming Notebook Review

    I can understand the point of putting all the connectivity on the side instead of the rear - it gives them more room for airflow on the back, instead of pumping out hot air through the sides and over your hands. The thing with the bright screen may also be the result of support for 3D vision...

    Trouble loading webpages and flash

    If it's a hardware issue, then yeah, a Linux live distro would find that out quick, simply by the fact that if it doesn't work or same issue, it's hardware. (Live distros do not need installing, just boot from the CD/DVD, then load up Firefox to see if things are working). Though if you get...

    Anno 2070 Deluxe edition Steam won't play

    Supposedly, the game is encrypted by steam, so everyone is just waiting on them to patch it for the game to go live. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2238414 Must be some kind of pre-release thing, don't know. Anyway, you're not alone. Edit...

    SteelSeries Shift Gaming Keyboard Review

    For those of you interested, I recorded a short video of a rather nauseating software issue, not mentioned in the review. When resizing the window, the screen would wobble randomly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=455IH_Cy16I Yes, now you get to listen to my delightfully posh British accent...

    SteelSeries Shift Gaming Keyboard Review

    1. This link shows you the different keysets available and the supported languages. 2. It's possible that the shift key could be a hardware related fault with this specific board, but the problem didn't always occur. Recent firmware updates may have fixed the issue since i have not...
