    Portal 2 Released to Mixed Reaction

    Gamers have a tendency to act like bratty kids, even if the majority of gamers are 18 and above. It's the biggest reason why I only play online rarely - if so, mostly with my real-world friends (haven't raced online in years...)

    What MP3 player do you use?

    Creative ZEN X-Fi 8GB, purchased late 2009. Doubt it's in production, as it was already superseded at time of purchase. Does the job and sounds nice

    Is the Web Browser the Gaming Platform of the Future?

    Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation made an interesting point, something along the lines of the apps creators focus more on gameplay than gimmicks

    Video Game Characters are Cheap Dates

    Vito in Mafia II is invincible. With the exception of his vision, everything else is normal!* *haven't tried shooting anyone drunk in game

    NFL Teams May Replace Playbooks With iPads

    Makes sense. Considering the size of the playbooks (Green Bay's is reported to be over 600+) and how much time it would take to print and assemble them, I'm not surprised.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Linked to Russian Airport Bombing

    This is very appropriate for using this quote: "The news media always need a bogeyman" (via http://www.cracked.com/article_18982_5-terrifying-online-trends-invented-by-news-media.html )

    Technology - Then and Now

    I recognize this isn't too long ago, but I remember my tech friend and I drooling over 1TB HDDs (2006ish). Also remember Battleship Mtron like it was yesterday! On the RAMAC, just imagine designing that thing from scratch

    Jeopardy! to Feature IBM Supercomputer as Contestant

    I'm all for it if one of the contestants is Darrell Hammond doing his Sean Connery impression :p

    Is it Possible to Hear an SSD?

    Yes. My laptop's has a faint, high-pitched tone that audible only if you're specifically focusing on it. Do note that my laptop mostly relies on passive cooling with the CPU fan kicking in only when necessary

    The New-Age Nickel & Diming

    "The most recent example for a game I've played has been with Mafia II. It came out with a $10 piece of DLC a mere two weeks after the game's launch. Clearly, the content was already completed, so why not include it in the game and extend the gamer's ~10 hour game time?" Exactly. It felt too...

    Mafia II

    Is it just me from never playing games like this ever before, or am I just so used to the camera angle that is really making me mad when I play the demo? It's only thing I don't like about it so far

    Is Our Video Game History Rotting?

    I remember struggling to get a NES started around '99-00, it's not like the systems have started dying recently. Although 5 years newer (assuming the NES was 15 years old in 2000), my N64 is still as strong as when I got in 1999...I have a feeling we won't have too many issues preserving the...

    Will the Removal of PCI in Intel's Upcoming Chipsets Affect You?

    I'm happy as heck to see PCI finally phased out. It was a bit frustrating on my mobo finding space (or lack of) for my TV tuner card

    TV Tuner Cards?

    Hey guys, sorry that I really only come here for shopping advice :D but I'm looking into getting a TV tuner card for my desktop. I'm pretty new to that area, and I'd love to watch TV on my desktop and possibly use it like a DVR. With that being said, does anyone have any thoughts? I was...

    Is there such a thing as a GOOD budget racing wheel/pedal/shifter

    I'd go for a used MOMO. There isn't much of a selection for commercial, mass produced steering wheels that are good quality

    Is this mouse for real?!

    Jeez, this is a level of sick mindedness even I or some of my friends could think of
