    What... a night (unfortunately, not in a good way)

    I think it's clear by now that the Windows OS has something against me, and this was proven over and over last night. It all began when I wanted to swap my gaming mouse.

    EA to be a '100% Digital Company, Period'

    Is physical game media soon to disappear? According to EA's Labels president Frank Gibeau, it's inevitable - at least for his company.

    Final Fantasy VII Soon to be Re-released for PC

    I think it goes without saying that one of the best role-playing games ever created is Final Fantasy VII, released in 1997 for the original PlayStation. The game had it all - a fantastic story, an interesting world, memorable characters, robust battle and character mechanics and enough on the...

    Compiling 1,100 Software Packages in a Row Under Gentoo

    While not a common task for most Windows users, compiling software under Linux isn't uncommon at all.

    HP Decides to Skip ARM-based Windows Tablets

    With its uncoming launch of Windows 8, Microsoft will be, for the first time ever, making an ARM-based edition available.
