    Dead Island First Impressions

    Yeah, a bunch of us were all horned up at work after watching this and then we saw game play footage in another trailer. At first I was like :D and then I was like :confused: and then I was like :(

    Dead Island First Impressions

    I don't think the zombie theme is past its prime but I do think that some new life needs to be breathed into the genre. Simple hack and slash isn't going to do it although some Borderlands-esque fun is never a bad thing but if it comes down to it I'll just bust out the first BL DLC.

    Dead Island First Impressions

    Too bad. It had one of the best trailers to pump up interest that I have seen in a while. <iframe width="560" height="345" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/sUczHkzZpsc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

    The Game that DLC Built

    Borderlands is the rare example to this as you pointed out and is one reason why I'm a Gearbox cheerleader.

    Microsoft Bringing Hyper-V Support to Windows 8

    Very cool. We have the setup here at work since they moved a few of us to 7 and deal with a lot of customers who still have XP. It's great to be able just to fire up XP and see what they're seeing or to try and recreate a problem they are having and then develop a fix.

    Intel Z68 SSD Disk Caching Showdown

    I don't think that's the case seeing how 36 lanes are reserved for discrete GPUs even if they are not being used. Plus I believe that the SATA III capability is being handled by a separate add on chip. Maybe Robert should weight in on this one.

    Earth's population to surpass 7 billion soon

    This could make for a crazy cyber punk anime if ever there was - worldwide births are on hold and any children born are snatched up by the government. Famine everywhere, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer... I have always wondered when we'd hit the point where we can no longer sustain...

    DICE On BF3′s Regenerating Tank Health

    I'd be fine with tank regen -if- it was after a certain period of no damage -and- if it were only about 10-20%. As dontnormally said, tank operators know basic repair. Can they repair a tank down to about 10%? I doubt it.

    This week tech roundup

    Sadly I think I'm going to have to part with my beloved white 600T. If not, I'll take a set of these please! http://www.corsair.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/v/e/veng_lp_w_front_magento.png

    Battlefield 3 for $45 via Direct2Drive

    I'm not too worried about making it in for the beta early. We just bought a house so I'll be lucky to salvage any time when the game goes live although I do like the idea of saving some money. Maybe I'll take my receipt back to the store, get my munies and do the D2D dance.

    Battlefield 3 for $45 via Direct2Drive

    Grrr! I should have waited! Oh well. I like having a hard copy of my games so I don't have to download them again in the event that my system burps.

    Upcoming Intel IGP Driver to Boost Performance by 40%

    I'm going to call shenanigans on this. 40% because of a driver? Unless they had trained monkeys writing their drivers before, how was something not worked into the existing drivers from the get go? I can understand 5, 10, even 20% but 40%? Colour me skeptical.
