    Technology - Then and Now

    I remember geeking out about 1TB drives back then and how they would never come down in price enough for me to buy one...oops.

    ASUS at CES 2011

    Ok, I'm pretty limited in what I'm interested in when it comes to computers. If it doesn't fit in a case, attach to a case or if it isn't the case itself I tend not to get too excited but those are some really cool pieces of tech. I'd like to see Asus send you one so you can do an in depth review.

    P55 Motherboard Suggestions

    It looks like a P67 upgrade is the way to go after all. I'll have to round up some pennies from the i5-2500K but that coupled with two 6850's, my SSD, Vantage 240 and Lian Li case should do me for a while. My wife will be happy at least. What's that? Tick? Uh, honey, you know I love you...

    I tripped over some money!

    I found a 60GB Mushkin Callisto Deluxe for $169 at Future Shop and Newegg.ca has it on for $124 so I think I'll get them to price match -10%. I'll still have some cash left over and might pick up Lego Universe but I'm in a holding pattern until this gift cars arrive. Silly postal system...

    Intel's Sandy Bridge Revealed: Core i5-2500K & i7-2600K Reviewed

    It's a Fisher Price My First Mobo! ***EDIT: The more I read about these chips, the more I want one. The price for the unlocked i5 is pretty steep so though. Time to go through my hardware tickle trunk and see what I can sell! 4.4Ghz on stock voltages and an average of 4.7-4.8 with 1.3+...

    Duke Nukem Forever to be Released on May 31, 2011?

    From what I have read, yep! Not having Jon would be like not having Peter Cullen do Optimus Prime.

    Duke Nukem Forever to be Released on May 31, 2011?

    I'd pay to hang out with the guy who voices Duke, Jon St. John just to hear him say the lines...or anything for that matter. Me: "Hey Jon! Go through your morning routine but do it in Duke's voice!" Jon: "Damn...looks like my toast is f*****!"

    Duke Nukem Forever to be Released on May 31, 2011?

    Hehehe. A thread about quite possibly the longest anticipated game and we're all going on about Borderlands. I'm certainly not trying to sway the talk away from Borderlands since it's easily in my top 5 games but if Gearbox does as good of a job with Duke as they did with BL it's going to be a...

    Bugged Game? Get a Refund

    That's one thing that I love about MMO's for the most part. They aren't just a flash in the pan release but something that users continue to play and test inadvertantly simply by going through the content. Dev's usually have no choice but to work on the fixes or risk players dumping the game...

    Bugged Game? Get a Refund

    You have an Internet connection and can type, which entitles you to share your opinion on everything from apples to zebras and everything in between, regardless of whether you are right or wrong. :D

    From... ...to... I figure I'd remind people of how far we've come from a purely aesthetic standpoint if nothing else.

    Duke Nukem Forever to be Released on May 31, 2011?

    A friend and I were discussing that earlier today when I got to work. It would be so easy to implement as a full blown MMO. The weapon system is already in place. Just apply that same random generator to the shields and maybe make an armor option or equipment slots with again, that same...

    Bugged Game? Get a Refund

    I was in Future Shop doing some Christmas shopping back in November and I came across a game that had obviously been returned. On the case someone had written "Requires Windows Vista". I can't remember what game it was but I nearly died laughing.

    Borderlands - What a Co-Op Game Should Be

    I just had to give Gearbox/Borderlands another plug because the game is so much fun, especially with 4 people. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=876X30YznqE&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bL4QNsaqnz4&feature=related <--I think I peed...

    Duke Nukem Forever to be Released on May 31, 2011?

    I'm sorry but any FPS PC gamer who was around from '96 on has been waiting for this game. Gearbox is getting a Christmas card this year. First Borderlands, now this. I also hear rumors of Borderlands 2.
