    Best Buy and NewEgg.com argue over "Geek"

    Me thinks Best Buy bit off a bit too much with this latest bit of douche baggery.

    Ordering Groceries Online with Amazon Fresh

    I'd order a boxes of condoms, 3 gallons of sunflower oil, a funnel, rubber gloves, some steel wool and the biggest cucumber available. If they sold a cow in rubber pants, I'd order that too. I wonder what the delivery person would think...

    BF3 the PC & Console FPS WAR begins...

    Indeed. I already told my wife that a pre-order is a wonderful birthday gift. There's only one way to test the whole PC vs console control - get the adapter that allows you to use a XBox controller on a PC and have at it.

    Hehe. Enjoy your scaled back maps console players. I'll be thinking of you when I'm rocking 64 player maps...no, no I won't. I'll be too busy!

    ASUS Holding 'Formula X' Computer Enthusiast Event this Weekend

    Well, since nobody else wants to do it I guess I'll be the one to step up and taken one for the team. Rob, I humbly request that you send me to California to cover this event. No, no. It's fine. I did have a lot of things to do but since I'm the only one that takes this seriously I'll...

    Initial Reviews Put Duke Nukem Forever as a 'Mediocre' Game

    Might need to pick up a cooler. Luckily some of them are relatively cheap although price is usually a trade off for performance, longevity and noise.

    Reader's Rig Photo Gallery

    Rob thinks I'm crazy but I noticed an immediate difference in Call Of Duty: Black Ops. So much so that it took me a about an hour or so to adjust my game to account for a lack of lag. My connection speed is terrible here thanks to the crappy wiring in the building so every bit helps and where...

    Reader's Rig Photo Gallery

    After having it in my closet for close to 6 months, it's finally installed. Behold! That last shot is the coolant temperature, not the CPU temperature. Under full load at 4.2Ghz it runs no warmer than 55 degrees on the hottest core. It could run cooler if I were to run the fans at...

    Disabling Windows Pagefile & Hibernation to Reclaim SSD Space

    There's a good chance that I did. I'm not sure if you recall how my "optimization" changes resulted in an OS reload and a long string of obscenities so I'm sure there were quite a few things that I tinkered with.

    Rumored Intel SSD 700 Series Specifications Leaked

    Well, the price on the 7xx-series is going to be waaaay outside of what I can afford. I'd stick with the M-series. You can consider this to be competition for OCZ's RevoDrive.

    Congratulations Vancouver...

    I was wondering just how many of these idiots would be identified by their family. Hahaha! You're real big men now, aren't you?

    Unboxing GIGABYTE's A75-UD4H Socket FM1 Motherboard

    That's an awesome little board. Too bad it can't handle Bullydozer to make a nice budget board.
