    NVIDIA Releases its Budget GeForce GTS 450

    Now THIS makes me excited. Finally and offering from Nvidia for the common person who wants to game at a reasonable quality but still eat and have a roof over their head. Two of these in SLI would rock and cost a bit more than my 5770 did at the time. Very well done and a nice cooler by...

    Need a decent (preferably smallish) case

    The Silverstone Sugo S03B is mighty nice but mighty expensive. If I had the money and was using the stock heatsink I'd go for one of them. http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=22170AC1544&vpn=SG03B(SG03B-F)&manufacture=Silverstone%20Technology

    Sonic Adventure on XBLA!

    What I meant was by the time I actually have enough free time to warrant picking one up they'll probably be so rare that they will cost a small fortune. Sharks was pretty good. Daytona, VirtuaFighter...even Golden Axe! I had my kick ass '93 Umbro jacket stolen from there though. Buggers...

    Five Web Browsers: Which is the Fastest?

    My work PC is garbage. It's a dated, slow, dirty P4 so I am always looking for ways to speed it up so I can do what I need to do without twiddling my thumbs waiting for pages to load. One day a few weeks back I grabbed Firefox, Chrome and Opera. What's listed in this review is spot on from...

    How Did Big Tech Companies Get Their Names?

    I'm pronouncing it ay-sis under protest because ah-suez just sounds foreign. I just have to go an North American-iz everything. :D

    Sonic Adventure on XBLA!

    This is quite off topic but another great system was the Saturn. Again, way above anything else except maybe the 3DO (Dragon Force and Mr. Bones FTW!) but garbage support from 3rd party developers and even Sega. It's like they wanted to fail. I remember cuffing class to go to the arcade...

    Sonic Adventure on XBLA!

    I miss my Dreamcast. Easily well a head of anything at the time but crap support even from the creating company. So sad. I still have my copy of Shenmue and my memory card. One of these days I'll pick up another Dreamcast.

    How Did Big Tech Companies Get Their Names?

    Any promo vids I have ever watched for the company pronounced it ae-zues. Maybe I should just call it mini-winged horsey company.

    How Did Big Tech Companies Get Their Names?

    I knew where Asus' name came from but can't for the live of me think of why they pronounce it ae-zues. If anything it should be ah-sus/sis to coincide with the pronunciation of pegasus. It'll always be ae-sis to me though.

    Gearbox is Officially Taking Over Duke Nukem Forever Development

    Tell me about it. After playing Borderlands for countless hours (I'm still playing it and I have 0 attention span for games after quitting Lord Of The Rings Online) I have no doubt it is going to be a blast. Shake it baby! ***EDIT: Any info from PAX? Was it fun? Were there chicks...

    Pick me some cans!

    High end isn't something I can really go with but I'd love to try a Triton set. I'm not sure why but I love the look of them and the reviews seem pretty good. More headset reviews would be sweet. There are some newer names like Ozone that I'd like to see reviewed. Everything from budget to...

    ORIGIN PC's "The Big O" is About as High-End as a PC Can Get

    I wouldn't go that far, light weight. :p

    Goddamn it Sony

    There's always emulation although there's something strangely unnatural about playing 8, 16 and 32 bit games on an i7.

    Pick me some cans!

    I had looked into them but the only ones that come in under budget are the 131's and they have mixed reviews. The SteelSeries seem like they might be the winner but it'll be a few weeks before I can place the other so keep those suggestions coming. Maybe I should get you send a set over the...

    Pick me some cans!

    I have read good things about the G35's but sadly they are well out of my price range. As usual I'm looking for the best for the least.

    Pick me some cans!

    Correct. I suppose I should have thought about the thread title a little bit more. The original post has been edit a wee bit so people will know just what I'm looking for.

    Pick me some cans!

    Hehehe. I'm leaning towards open ear because my son sometimes isn't quite able to make it through the night without waking up and just needs to be reassured that we are still here. Up until now I have had to play with one cup on and one off. USB or 3.5 doesn't matter to me. I'll probably go...

    Bravo, Rob. I needed a chuckle right now. Stuck at work with a headache.
