    Has Gearbox Software Taken Over Duke Nukem Forever Development?

    While it's not vaporware I doubt we'll ever see a game developed on a major blockbuster movie that doesn't suck. That's a white whale if ever there was one.

    But...but...why would the Internet lie to me?

    Has Gearbox Software Taken Over Duke Nukem Forever Development?

    We were talking about this earlier at work since a few of us are big time Borderlands fans. If they do as good of a job without too much interference from 3D Realms (and by interference I mean change after change after change after...) I can see this piece of vaporware becoming a HUGE success...

    Lost Planet 2: DX9 vs. DX11

    Hey now, nothing wrong with the 5000 series. Technology is a vicious cycle. I'm just glad I was able to own current technology for a few months. That's something I have never done until now. :D

    BFG Tech Shutting Down; Failing to Fulfill RMA's

    XFX jumped ship from Nvidia based cards to ATI. Smart move. You can only press your partners so far before you make them lose money and after that they either close up shop or move to your competition.

    BFG Tech Shutting Down; Failing to Fulfill RMA's

    It's hard to stay competitive when the company you rely on for parts isn't able to provide them and then strong arms you into dropping prices when they do. Kudos to XFX for seeing the writing on the wall, otherwise we may be down two companies.

    Dog Eat Toe

    You find some odd stuff, Rob. I've been drunk before (really, REALLY drunk) but I woke up when someone nudged me. Someone eating my toe?

    Sidebar gadget that I like to use

    Thanks for the info. I'm still stuck in Vista mode, which as you said eat resources like Kirstie Alley eats cake.

    Sidebar gadget that I like to use

    The sidebar is nice for at a glance purposes but I can't justify the resources required to run the gizmos, plus if I need to monitor my gear it's probably because I'm overclocking it meaning I have separate applications open that can handle it.

    Cheap Gaming Rigs

    Intel - i3 530, H55 OR H57 motherboard, 2x2GB DDR3 1333, 500GB HD, ATI 5770. AMD - Phenom II 555 BE, AM3 motherboard, 2x2GB DDR3 1333, 500GB HD, ATI 5770 Both systems are great (I'm running the first) and will run most games beautifully. You could save a bit of money if you replaced the...

    EVGA 11th Anniversary Contests

    Shows how much I pay attention to Photoshop then, huh? It looks like she was given the Extended version. Either way I'm glad I don't have to pick up the bill.

    Has StarCraft II Become the Most Expensive Game Ever Developed?

    I know this is off topic somewhat but I miss Shenmue. That was the absolute best game I have ever played and what the standard that I hold all games to. Sure, it's showing it's age and Sega completely cocked up the series but not continuing with it but man, I miss that game. It might be time...

    EVGA 11th Anniversary Contests

    She uses PS to rework images on websites for different companies. Her office gave her a full version of PS Master Collection. I think that's a $600+ piece of software. Cha ching!

    Optimizing Your Firefox Installation with SpeedyFox

    So I just ran the application for the first time and the difference was immediately noticeable in everything from opening Firefox with saved tabs to pulling up websites. Very nice.

    Optimizing Your Firefox Installation with SpeedyFox

    Thanks Rob *AHEM* Thanks Jamie. I'll check this out tonight but you're right; Mozilla should be checking into why the slow down is happening in the first place but at the least integrate this little app into the browser.

    this is as about as anti-PC as you can get

    Ha @ Physics! I told people in high school that physics was foolish. Now I have proof!

    EVGA 11th Anniversary Contests

    My wife just bagged a free copy of CS5 Master...something so it's time to win me that Wallpaper contest! W00T! Just found my last ribbon. It was really tucked away on a page that I had missed about 10 or 15 times.
