The term "free-to-play" has become hugely popular in recent years, and Steam even has an entire category dedicated to it. But while the term itself seems self-explanatory, there are some games that prove that not all F2P titles are alike. In the worst cases, such as with one of Rob's favorite...

I admit it's interesting, I am just not sure there are too many chassis that it'd look that great in. Perhaps it's time to build that "Steampunk" PC, Thar!

I couldn't agree more on this being a poor implementation. Ideally, users should be able to open up the respective DLC list for a game and click the checkbox beside each listed piece of DLC that they want Steam to automatically download. As far as I'm concerned, there's no reason Valve couldn't...

The article I linked actually mentioned this issue, but I ended up forgetting about it while writing the post. If it takes 9 hours to charge that thing, then that's rather mind-blowing. I just think of all the times I've needed to charge something at the last moment and only could do so for an...

By now, it should be a secret to no one that whenever you post something online, it's there to stay. Never has this fact been clearer than with the advent of social networking sites, such as Facebook. There have been many stories over the years where people have lost their jobs because of things...

Jack White owns a record label. Said record label just celebrated its third anniversary. To mark the occasion, those who attended the celebration left with a record... but not just any record. No, this one includes 24 or so songs, and is designed to spin at just 3 RPM...

It is a head-scratcher. It seemed that Futuremark enjoyed having a game studio so it's a little bizarre to see the company offload it after just a couple of years. It's even stranger that Rovio picked them up, because while FGS did have a couple of mobile games out there, I don't think they ever...

I'm intrigued. I appreciate the fact that the barbs are "real", in that the rad or pump could be put into an existing setup, but I am wondering what kind of price premium that is going to have. We're going to be reaching a point where a good CPU cooler will cost $150, which for a ton of people...

I could not agree more, sir.

Especially where power supplies are concerned, that's a great way to look at it. A $40 PSU could very well cost you $400 worth of PC components when it decides to go up in smoke. I've had a couple of PSU brands not live up to my expectations, and while I've never had one kill any of my other...

You bastard. And I will check it out Greg, thanks :D

Where mobile devices are concerned, I am sure there are few people that believe "bigger is better". But there do exist occasions where newer is not always better. According to tech analyst Rob Enderle, Apple's latest iPad is a perfect example of this. On the surface, the third-generation iPad...

Well, here's some news that's come out of left field. Rovio Entertainment, creators of the ultra-popular Angry Birds series, has acquired Futuremark Game Studios, the gaming side-arm of the popular benchmark tool creator Futuremark (not that self-explanatory, I know). In an e-mail sent to us...

When most people think of "online dating", it's with a dedicated website (like eHarmony), but with the ever-increasing use of various social networking services, more and more people are meeting future partners where they'd least expect it. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-17518013 It's...

ASUS is offering up a GeForce GTX 680, and entering to win it is super-easy. You just need to have a Twitter account and then respond to the tweet below in order to be entered. https://twitter.com/#!/ASUS/statuses/184686368146997248 "#GimmeGF_GTX680 @ASUS because ____" If I were to...

So there's this cartoon called Archer... and I know nothing about it. But what I do know is that the creators are awesome, because in this still, a running Gentoo install can be seen to the right: What gives it away is the "portage/sys-devel/gcc" line, something totally unique to Gentoo...

Hmm. I guess it's because I re-installed Windows about a month ago. But even so, the games didn't move and were not changed. It sounds like Steam was just whining for no reason.

That's a good point. That software isn't that cheap, so I'd be a little annoyed if I just bought it and then saw a free giveaway not long after. In all honesty I am sure 1.85 will be fine for most people. Newer versions of AIDA64 bring mostly hardware support changes, that I've seen anyway...

This is true. A friend of mine picked up the latest Razr not long ago, upgrading from an HTC Thunderbolt, and he was pretty blown away by the battery in it. He's able to go multiple days without worry, whereas his other phone would never last a full day. As for ICS, it's kind of a sour note...
