    Are You Stressed Out by Technology?

    Hehehe. Poor Tech Daddy.

    Pick me some cans!

    I have a word of advice for anybody reading this: if you have small children, find a way to route your cords so they are tucked away. Children seem to be drawn to cords like a moth to a flame and they are rarely gentle with what they find at the other end. Such was the fate of my old headset...

    Facebook Requires A Mobile Number To Access My Account?

    My wife and I are not users of social network sites. We think they are a pointless way to spamming for attention but as killem2 mentioned there are valid reasons to use it. Our family is all here so that's a moot point for us. The only reason why I setup Facebook is for contests although I do...

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

    For some reason none of the articles are opening for me today but wow! What a machine. The "Big O" is another term for orgasm so I'm sure computer geeks around the world just...

    Skullcandy TiTAN Earbuds

    Nice, nice. While I can't say that earbuds particularly appeal to me since I need a headset for most of my gaming I am in the market for a set for my mp3 player. I'll keep them in mind.

    Gearbox is Officially Taking Over Duke Nukem Forever Development

    They even have a Duke Nukem Forever section on their official forums so it looks like the biggest running joke in gaming today may finally become a reality!

    Facebook Requires A Mobile Number To Access My Account?

    You seem pretty into music considering the only avatar you have had that wasn't music based was the FIFA World Cup so I knew you'd appreciate it at least. What a waste. So many contests...

    Facebook Requires A Mobile Number To Access My Account?

    I use Facebook and Twitter primarily for contests since some of them require you to "like" them or retweet posts. I think social networking is foolish for the average person but a business, group or a band just starting out for example would likely find it necessary. My earlier post and...

    Intel vs AMD 2011

    I want to see the budget version of the new Bulldozers. While I'd probably be shot for even bringing up the idea of another upgrade it will be nice to see what is out there for folks like me who would rather save their money for the future than blow it all on CPU that costs about half of what I...

    Facebook Requires A Mobile Number To Access My Account?

    I figured I'd pop into the NZXT Facebook page and see how their contest is going. When I tried to sign in I was greated with a screen that said I need to provide a mobile number in order to verify my account. There does not seem to be any way around this and clicking on the link to use another...

    Lucid Puts its HydraLogix Chip on Graphics Cards

    Not bad. That's hot tech! I especially like the part about only having to buy one Hydra equipped card.

    AMD is Doing Away with "ATI" Branding

    They should just slap DAAMIT on their cards. Most tech monkeys know what that is and the rest of the people out there probably don't care.

    Are You Stressed Out by Technology?

    The only thing that stresses me about technology is that I can't keep up with it like I want to but that's how things go. By the time you buy a piece of hardware it is obsolete. What a vicious cycle.

    Machinarium Suffers from ~90% Piracy Rate

    I had a quick peek at a DL'ed copy to see what it was all about and after about 10 minutes I ordered the legit version. Games like this are rare and will continue to be unless people starting putting up some cash.

    Mafia II - A Look at Performance

    Even though it's near the bottom I'm happy with the 5770 performance but I still wish the whole, "game branding" idea would take a dive and PhysX be opened up to everybody.

    Ad with "Gun case"

    Just give me the card and knock off the amount that the case costs. Cardboard boxes have been used for a long time and do just fine.

    Crazy awesome custom "case"

    I own those fans so really he just copied my design...right? :p

    Crazy awesome custom "case"

    Me: Oh cool. A neat case to look at. Oh, a call. 10 minutes later - Me: Ok, now to look at that case. Arg! Another call. 28 minutes later - Me: That's it. I'm going to look at that case. WEB PAGE BLOCKED BY FILTER A-HOLE!!!

    uTorrent to Soon Get Eight Cool New Features

    I started using uTorrent back when I only had 2GB of DDR2. It was a life saver compared to other clients that I was using so I'm glad to see it is still being improved on.
