If you've yet to take your hit of awesome today, don't worry, I have it right here. We've all seen what Google Maps looks like in 8-bit, but have you ever wondered what it might look like in ASCII? Well as the old saying goes, if you ASCII, someone will ANSI, and in this case, that someone is...

Yeah so here's a story where some punk kid from the UK said something arguably minor to an Olympian, and was arrested. "You let your dad down i hope you know that." http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/jul/31/teenager-arrested-tweets-tom-daley The kid's a douche, I think we'll all agree...

The killing and bloodshed never ends, and why should it!? An incursion of ghastly Orcs, Trolls, Ogres, Kobalds and just about every other kind of hideous incarnation are breaking through the rifts, and it's your job to stop them... again. This time with help! Read on as we review Orcs Must Die...

So here's a strange question. Is it possible to run an entire Windows install through a proxy server, so that anything requiring an Internet connection would run through it? The reason I ask for such a ridiculous thing is that Saints Row: The Third has a known (to fans) issue of lag when...

When we took a look at Corsair's M60 "FPS" gaming mouse a couple of months ago, we found that while the hardware was excellent, the software was less so. For the M90, we decided to wait for the relevant software updates, which has since happened. So, after a delay, it's finally time to take a...

Just pick up the latest and greatest piece of tech? Whether it be a smartphone, notebook or really any other electronic gadget, do you ever stop and analyze how nice the packaging is? And better still, does it matter to you what the packaging looks like? Read the rest of our post and then...

The de facto measure to take whenever a company finds an infringement being made on one of their products is to send their best lawyers after the target like a pack of rabid dogs, flinging threats left and right like there's no tomorrow. Then there's Jack Daniel's, which almost makes a cease and...

I'm proud to say that I'm no longer a tablet virgin, so what better way to celebrate than to tell everyone about how magical the experience can be? Equipped with an ASUS Transformer Prime, I've customized, downloaded, read, played, tweaked, watched and even rooted, finally reaching the obvious...

Google has today formally announced its Google Fiber Internet service, causing those living in either Kansas City, MO or Kansas City, KS to jump for joy while making everyone else discover a new level of jealousy. While the initial packages themselves are priced well, it's the talk of "Gigabit"...

Well, this is a little different. Humble Bundle, the service that regularly allows gamers to purchase great titles at set-your-own-prices, has just announced its "Humble Music Bundle". As it sounds, a handful of albums are up for grabs, and the price? Whatever you want it to be, of course...

As we mentioned in our news section last week, Valve finally put an end to all of the "Steam on Linux" rumors by announcing its plans officially. The reasons for its attention to Linux should be obvious. It's a small market, but it is growing, and no group of folks have proven more fervently...

Take all you know about the DiRT series and throw it out the window, because Showdown is a unique specimen in this on-going series. The focus on destruction is huge, and with 13 different race types, there'll be many opportunities to twist metal. Great graphics, fluid control and lots of...

One of the best things that could ever happen to a gamer is seeing a favorite game get remade, and fortunately, that seems to be the trend of the moment. There's much reason to rejoice for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater fans as Robomodo has just released a series reboot, aiming to give fans back the...
