    The *Official* I'm Pumped For Borderlands 2 Thread AKA Here's My Wallet, Randy!

    I'll be going with Gunzerker first and I'm rather stoked about it. Love the idea of dual-wield weapons, and our real-life sizes about match so it's a perfect first. Figured that about Zero's skill. I do wonder if it'll become really useful later on. Same goes for Siren.

    Sophos Issues Anti-Virus Update that Detects the Program Itself as a Virus

    This story couldn't be more perfect for a Friday. Sophos, a leading anti-virus provider, issued its detection updates as usual yesterday, and while this usually goes off without a hitch, there was a problem with this one. Somehow, the update managed to begin detecting Sophos itself as a virus...

    Zalman VF3000F GTX 570/580 GPU Cooler Review

    Hi spixel: I admit I am still left a little confused. You state the RPM doesn't increase after 50%, but the medium and high temperatures differ... I'm not sure what's up there, when mine remained the same. The fanmate I have doesn't state low/medium/high; it's just a dial with the word "up"...

    GIGABYTE Z77X-UD5H Motherboard Review

    For its $180 pricing, GIGABYTE packs quite a bit into its Z77X-UD5H. For starters, it includes 9 internal SATA ports, 4x USB 3.0 ports at the back, and not four, but <em>five</em> internal 4-pin fan headers. On top of it all, there's an mSATA option and <em>three</em> internal USB 3.0 headers...

    To Celebrate Battlefield's 10th Anniversary, You Can Score BF3 for $10

    None of the past couple Sims 3 expansion packs have been made available to Steam, whereas the first 6 or 7 were, so I am assuming that if EA does release something to Steam, it'll be something minor. Nothing from EA has hit Steam since March...

    To Celebrate Battlefield's 10th Anniversary, You Can Score BF3 for $10

    "8 months prior to that comment EA had an epic sale on Origin that devalued its IP just the same." That's the point here. EA sold stuff super-low long before this person spoke up, so I am not sure what it ultimately has to do with EA not being on Steam, unless it all boils down to sale...

    To Celebrate Battlefield's 10th Anniversary, You Can Score BF3 for $10

    Doesn't matter who said it... it's the opinion of one person. 8 months prior to that comment EA had an epic sale on Origin that devalued its IP just the same. Therefore, it doesn't make sense. Doesn't seem to be the opinion of the entire company.

    Firefox for Android

    Alright, so I've been using Firefox for Android these past couple of days, and I have to say that I'm hugely impressed. While I find Chrome stable (for the most part) and Firefox not, PC-wise, I find the opposite to be true on mobile. Chrome stalls, crashes and is generally wonky too often. I...

    To Celebrate Battlefield's 10th Anniversary, You Can Score BF3 for $10

    I think that must've been the opinion of just one person, because EA sold NFS The Run for $20 one week after release last fall... more than six months before that article was published.

    Nero 12 Out Soon, We'll Have a Full Look

    Haha, Nero 8 was basically the last version I used. I dabbled with 9 for a bit but never ended up getting around to reviewing it. I am looking forward to messing around with 12 more.

    To Celebrate Battlefield's 10th Anniversary, You Can Score BF3 for $10

    The game is only available through Origin. You're saying that EA's beef with Valve was that it put games on sale? That doesn't make a lot of sense, because Activision almost never puts its games on sale, and when it does, the savings are stupid small until the game is two years old.

    To Celebrate Battlefield's 10th Anniversary, You Can Score BF3 for $10

    Still don't own Battlefield 3? What on earth would it take? EA to sell the game for $10??? Oh, really? Well you're in luck! To celebrate Battlefield's 10-year anniversary, all of the games in the series, sans DLC for the latest game, is on sale for a cool $10. That includes Battlefield 2142...

    Nero 12 Out Soon, We'll Have a Full Look

    It's been quite a while since we last took a look at a Nero product - three years if you count NeroLinux or five years for the Windows suite - so it's about time to end that drought. With Nero 12 set to launch soon, we've decided to take it for a spin and see what it brings to the table - is it...

    The *Official* I'm Pumped For Borderlands 2 Thread AKA Here's My Wallet, Randy!

    For greater effect, I'd recommend listening to the eurodance artist Pandora on Pandora, purchase a replica of the Greek woman Pandora, move to Pandora Island, Nunavut (because I'm cruel), pick up one of those Pandora handheld consoles, have a copy of the novel Pandora sitting on the desk, and...

    Android Compromised via NFC on Samsung Galaxy S III

    For those who own phones equipped with it, NFC (near-field communication) has the ability to offer some cool functionality. The most popular example is allowing you to hover your phone over a device at a checkout in order to pay for your order, but other ideas could include swiping the phone to...

    SteelSeries Sensei [RAW] Gaming Mouse Review

    I have the same one, and have been using it since about the time I made that post. Like the original I am loving it quite a bit, no complaints. i do appreciate the texture more, that's for sure. I've had almost no gaming done with it yet, but that'll change come Friday ;-)

    A Look at Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD for the PC

    I took a look at Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD for the Xbox 360 back in July, and at that time, a PC version had never been confirmed. Well, a month later, it was, and its release happened just this week - and for a mere $10. Is it better than the console versions? Does it play better? Does it look...

    Moving Your 'Non-Movable' Android Apps to an SD Card

    I am not familiar with that error, to be honest. You might want to test it out in another computer, or it could just be a limitation of the phone - something that rooting should fix (though I am not certain there either).
