    What should I do?

    Is anyone putting their money on Rage? I'm not sure what to do. I'm saving money so I can get BF3, when it comes. My plan is to purchase something that I can play with people I trust. I'd introduce myself to you folks and no doubt have a blast playing with you. When Robin announced the...

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution - A user review (Part II)

    This post continues from Deus Ex: Human Revolution - A user review (Part I) The Game Art One of the things that I found most interesting about DE:HR technology was its economical approach to DX11. Particularly with tessellation. The game makes use of it if the player has a DX11 compatible card...

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution - A user review (Part I)

    Introduction Every once and a while a video game comes that has me do more than just play it. It introduces gaming concepts or a story that inspires thinking. It's not just the story in Deus Ex: Human Revolution (DE:HR) that draws me into philosophical tirades with myself though. It's also the...

    This week tech roundup

    Very interesting Corsair memory in this week's TG tech roundup, folks. It's a 8 GB dual channel perfect for a 64bit system if, like me, you want to move from 32bit, or are already there but have less than 8Gb; a value I consider minimal for 64 bit systems. Check it out. What's more...

    Marketing fabricated ARGs

    Anyone else annoyed at Deus Ex ARG? When Valve created the Potato Sack Pack and GLaDOS@Home ARG I was one of the critics of this form of advertisement. Not just because it end up becoming one big flop. I was criticizing it even before its conclusion... and players learned that all they got was...

    No Battery needed. Use capacitors.

    EDN comes with an interesting piece of news: New Architecture promises better battery. Electronics is not my forte. But one question arises: I find the technology essentially interesting. But while 5Kw/Kg is surely impressive, it speaks nothing of its size. My guess is that these hybrid...

    Confusion with SLI dual-core cards

    Is it technically possible to SLI four GTX 590 cards? I answered somewhere else, it is. But I think my answer may be wrong. I based it on my understanding of SLI and on this fella (http://3dmark.com/3dmv/3199988). However, Nvidia's website refers to a Quad-SLI setup in a different light...

    Thermaltake Level 10: The what NOT thread

    So, we will know from the great Techgage Contest: Thermaltake Level 10 GT Chassis who you would like to design your computer components. That's fantastic, but it is only half of the issue. The other important question on everyone's mind is: "But who wouldn't you want to?!". That's right. Let's...

    Logitech Performance Mouse MX - Part 1

    The Performance Mouse MX is Logitech's current top offer. As I get ready to loose my mind on a Topre Realforce 103U keyboard somewhere around mid July, I went ahead and started to refurbish my desk already. This mouse comes to replace the Revolution MX, which you can only get these days in a...

    The dream keyboard

    I'm currently on the market looking for a good keyboard (again!). I don't know about you folks; but to me, keyboards are the most replaced computer element since rubber-dome keyboards became a norm. This has actually made me go red eyed on a few occasions, since the only efforts I witness into...

    Witcher 2 first patch removes DRM

    It's out and it will remove the DRM from the game. It's possible that this decision has been motivated by the complaints of players that the DRM was impacting on game performance, while others where having issues activating the game. Adam Badowski, CD Projekt RED Development Director said...
