    AMD Re-recruits Jim Keller as Chief of Processor Group

    I have a soft spot in my Big Red Machine heart for AMD. When I got into this hobby, I did so with my first custom-built PC based on a Socket 939 Athlon 3700 San Diego. Almost everything I know about being a PC enthusiast - troubleshooting, mods, overclocking, water cooling, etc. - I learned on...

    CM Storm Sonuz Stereo Gaming Headset Review

    I don't know if I agree. Just for the build quality (I should have said more about that aspect of the product, come to think of it) and the sound quality, I think it's quite fairly priced. The thing's built like a tank, and the sound quality is very good for something that's marketed as...

    People who believe The Onion are literally unbelievable

    Oh. Em. Jee. How have I been living my life without literallyunbelievable.org?!? Bwahahahahahaha :D

    Star Wars: The Old Republic Allows Free-To-Play Option This Fall

    I love me some Star Wars, but I just can't justify paying money to buy the game, then paying more money to be allowed to keep on playing the game. The monthly subscription model was the deal breaker for me.

    OCZ Vertex 4s on sale for less than $1 per GB

    I'd pick one up, but unfortunately I've already got a 128GB Samsung 830 waiting for the rest of the build to come together. It's a GREAT price, though. Thanks for sharing! :)

    Gasp! - Claw Machines Are Rigged?

    In all fairness, the Big Red Machine did NOT run off with the haul. The Big Red Machine acted like the "other" big guy in the red suit and gave his toys away. ;) :D

    Gasp! - Claw Machines Are Rigged?

    Here's my preferred solution: CLICK I was caught in the act, apparently.

    Whatever you do, DON'T insult an Olympian!

    TBH, I was shocked to hear about the death threats. When I heard those stories coming in, first thing on my mind was: Jeez, some people really need to learn to have some perspective. I love sports. I love competition. But mistakes or a performance that just comes up short are part of why...

    Whatever you do, DON'T insult an Olympian!

    Reminds of when the 49ers lost the NFC Championship game last year. WR Kyle Williams had two critical special teams fumbles which both led to scores for New York. After the game, there were lots of so-called "fans" who sent Williams a ton of death threats through Twitter for those mistakes...

    Just How Hard is it to be an Expert? Not Hard at All, Apparently

    I trust none of what you just wrote. :eek: :p

    Corsair Vengeance M90 MMO Gaming Mouse Review

    Maybe I'm old school (or maybe just old), but simplicity in design and execution are really underrated, in my opinion. It's like cars with electric or automatic everything: Those gadgets may be "convenience" items, but you're just adding more things to the list of "things that might break."...

    Just How Hard is it to be an Expert? Not Hard at All, Apparently

    Oh boy. If ever there's going to be a reason for the fall of our civilization, one of the reasons is going to be the absolute decay of journalism. There's a reason why freedom of the press is protected by the US Constitution (not to get too political here, sorry). If we can't trust our...

    Does Tech Packaging Matter?

    Just today I noticed how much cooler it was in the shade of one. :p

    Dang. Too bad Joe Montana no longer plays for the Chiefs. Then again, you could watch the San Francisco 49ers online... Hmm...

    Does Tech Packaging Matter?

    When it comes to tech purchases, I always research the product as much as possible, then buy the product online, where it is almost always cheapest. Consequently, the attractiveness of the packaging is lost on me since I'm not choosing the product on the basis of how it looks on the shelf of...

    Why Steam for Linux? Because Windows 8 is a 'Catastrophe'

    Agreed on all points, actually. I originally thought of stating that perhaps Microsoft may be trying to foist something more of a "closed" system a la Apple. If anything, MS's strategy looks to be more promising than Apple's, if only because of the fall of the incompatibility wall that...

    Why Steam for Linux? Because Windows 8 is a 'Catastrophe'

    I think Windows 8 is the first salvo towards mass adoption of touchscreen UIs as well as a closer integration between portable devices and the traditional PC. It's not just Metro and touchscreen capability; remember that Windows 8 is the first Windows ever that will won't be x86-exclusive...
