    Half-Life 2 - Who is still playing this timeless classic?

    2 is fantastic. I hated it at first because I was expecting it to have more RPG elements to it but after I got around my issues with it and got my head wrapped around the UI, it's fantastic. 1, well I played it a tiny bit and the fact that you can no longer move after getting health gated kills...

    Bang The Box! (Mini-ITX Build Log)

    That case is awesome! Nice build, the mobo looks lost in there. Got fans? :-D

    Half-Life 2 - Who is still playing this timeless classic?

    I'm still grinding away at borderlands 2. I need to get back into HL2 though.

    Planned versus consequential upgrades

    I know that feeling. Not with NV drivers per se but with drivers in general.

    Planned versus consequential upgrades

    My new to me GTX470 will be here today which is my first planned PC upgrade in four years. I did a consequential upgrade last year when my main and storage drives failed and I moved to bigger drives and moved my storage drive to an external unit but that wasn't planned and as I say, it was a...

    Chromebooks - yea or nay?

    Personally I'd prefer a netbook even though they're out of vogue.

    Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 boots twice....

    It sounds software related to me. Do you have a spare HDD you could hook up and put a clean OS install on? Sans GRUB, just straight into a single OS on the drive. That would tell you if it's hardware or software for certain because if it's able to boot into a single OS and stay running then the...

    What to do with nearly 300+ 17" LCD monitors?

    Put an ad on Craigslist in the free section and let people come get them. They'll be gone inside a week.

    Movies Thread!!

    Just to clarify, it's not the same character just like Dirty Harry and Walt Coogan weren't the same but still yet were cut from the same cloth. I guess what I mean to say is that Driver (the name you only see applied to Mel's character) is more along the lines of Porter than he is Martin...

    Movies Thread!!

    Another bump. Get The Gringo, Mel Gibson does a great job in resurrecting the no-nonsense tough guy personae he donned in Payback which, in my humble opinion anyway, was widely overlooked as a fun, fast paced action flick. Get The Gringo is gritty and has a rather low budget feel to it but...

    Borderlands 2 revisited

    I got an Infinity pistol today. It's a lvl. 9 Rapid variant. Anyone know how to find one a tad higher level?

    iO7 Update Almost Broke The Entire Internet

    According to apple it was 200m and that accounted for half... did you read the entire article? If that nearly broke the the entire internet I guess Georgia must be on a different trunk because my service never changed from what it normally is, 25mbit.

    Borderlands 2 revisited

    Yeah, I've got plenty of keys, I didn't realize they were so easy to obtain. Currently I'm sitting at level 23 and I just finished Pirate Booty. I've found out that you need to be a couple of levels above the mission if you don't want to spend time (and money) being reconstructed. That said, I...

    Borderlands 2 revisited

    One question. I have a golden key and I haven't used it yet. Exactly when would be the ideal time level wise to use it? I'm at level 11 now but if the items in the chest in Sanctuary improve as I level I'd rather wait to redeem the key.

    Borderlands 2 revisited

    Okay, I know I ruffled a few feathers when I lambasted BL2 for its flaws. I still don't like certain aspects of the game mechanics involving guns and ammo but that's neither here nor there. I've been playing it the last few days because after dumping damn near 800 hours into Skyrim, I've killed...

    The Bizarre Phobia You've Never Heard Of: Fear of Holes

    The headline is a tad misleading though. Yes, it's a fear of holes but not all holes. People aren't creeped out by a hole or even groups of holes. Instead it's more like certain patterns trigger the phobia. Of course calling it a "fear of random patterns of circles" wouldn't have the same wow...

    Model S license plate

    As a geek I have to admit that that's a good joke.

    A motherboard that slows the boot down over time?

    Personally I think it has to do with the drives themselves. When my Seagate drives were starting to die my POST times were about twice as long as they had been and the boot to windows logo from POST and subsequently from logo to login screen were all longer. After replacing the drives all the...
