    Top-Down Racing Destruction: Death Rally Review

    What's better than racing? Why, racing and blowing up your opponents, of course! Remedy has just released a remake of its 1995 top-down racer Death Rally, and it's fun. The game has fast-paced racing, a ton of eye candy, gameplay that allows you to hop off as quick as you hopped on, good variety...

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

    I'm glad the tutorial helped! I'm impressed that Facebook could be moved, and I'm now left confused as to why I haven't been able to do that on my own phone. I've given up on it though, and am just never going to make the mistake of owning a phone with so little internal memory again.

    Achievement whore? I've got a game for you!

    Yup, I couldn't imagine playing this with the KB+mouse to be honest. It's quite fluid and fun with the X360 gamepad.

    How to Make Your Own Cat5e Network Cable

    Despite their simplicity, pre-made networking cables are expensive - especially if you're in need of outfitting your entire house. Luckily, making your own cables isn't only far less expensive, but easy, and perhaps even a little bit fun. If you're still unsure, read on as we explain the entire...

    Acer CEO Issues 'Think Twice' Warning to Microsoft Regarding Surface

    Hah. According to Wikipedia his name is Zhentang, which would sound like "Jentang" when spoken in English. It's no wonder he doesn't want to be known as Jen... And I tend to agree with your thinking. I still think MS will end up canning Surface within a year and let the others have at it.

    Achievement whore? I've got a game for you!

    I could never get into the Drag Racing app... it felt so dull from the get-go. Death Rally is quite a bit of fun, but also repetitive, but it keeps things interesting enough where it doesn't get too boring that quick. A normal race takes about 1 minute to complete, so you bang them out quick...

    Achievement whore? I've got a game for you!

    A top-down racer came out this week, Death Rally, and given that Bang Bang Racing did little to impress, I decided to give it a whirl. It's a great game (I'll be doing a quick review soon), but what might stand out the most is the amount of achievements you earn in a little amount of time. This...

    Acer CEO Issues 'Think Twice' Warning to Microsoft Regarding Surface

    When Microsoft first announced its Surface tablet, which would be one of the rare hardware products to come out of Redmond with a Microsoft brand-name on it, many questioned how the move would affect the company's relationships with other vendors - namely those which have supported the company's...

    MSI Z77A-GD55 Motherboard Review

    CPU is part of the equation, but again, if the needs are modest, you'd have to be unlucky to get a chip that just won't OC at all. Binning really comes into play with extreme overclockers, where even 10MHz can mean the difference between a world record or not.

    MSI Z77A-GD55 Motherboard Review

    I had limited time with the board because I needed to move onto something else, but I did get to 4.5GHz with it. I just didn't put it under our usual battery of tests (as can be seen by the lack of us talking about it in the article). Overclocking really isn't a major concern of mine, because if...

    AMD Re-recruits Jim Keller as Chief of Processor Group

    As sad as it might be, I've forgotten most of the time I spent with Socket 939, but damn, was it a fine platform. I forget which CPU I had, but I think it was similar to the 3700. This was back when I had a ton of fun benchmarking and overclocking RAM... something I find totally boring ever...

    MSI Z77A-GD55 Motherboard Review

    If you're looking for a good Z77 motherboard to pair up with that shiny Ivy Bridge CPU but don't want to break the bank, MSI's Z77A-GD55 is well worth a look. Despite its modest $165 price-tag, the GD55 offers a rich feature-set, looks good, has a robust EFI and even makes overclocking easy for...

    CM Storm Sonuz Stereo Gaming Headset Review

    I thought $70 was a relative steal for this headset given what's offered. I admit I haven't kept up on what's out there though, so what's a typical price for a quality gaming model? $70 just sounds like a good price to me, but it might be the fact that $200+ headphones have warped my thinking...

    People who believe The Onion are literally unbelievable

    The person who believed for a second that a gymnast was put down because she broke her leg cracks me up every time I think about it. http://www.theonion.com/video/gymnast-shawn-johnson-put-to-sleep-after-breaking,14345/

    Uniblue Powersuite Pro 2013 Review

    Is your PC in need of a tune-up? If so, you're in luck, as there are at least a million 'PC Optimizer' tools out there. Uniblue's Powersuite looks to be one of the better ones, however, in terms of both features and aesthetics. We've been using the latest 'Pro' version for the past couple of...

    People who believe The Onion are literally unbelievable

    Yeah, it's a riot, haha. I suspect I'll be going to this site on occasion if I need a good laugh. Or to feel depressed about the world.
