    Team Fortress 2 Releases The 'Uber' Update; Becomes Free to Play

    Shortly after launching the first several free-to-play games on Steam, Valve has added one more to the list: Team Fortress 2. While this won’t come as a surprise to some given the notoriously steep discounts TF2 often received during frequent sales, until now the game has varied between the...

    Corsair HS1A Gaming Headset Review

    When we took Corsair's first gaming headset for a spin last fall, the HS1, we were left impressed by the fact that the company went for balanced audio instead of boomy bass, resulting in a refreshing listening experience. As they were USB-based, though, some who owned dedicated audio cards...

    What Good is the Cloud with Capped Bandwidth?

    If I lived 5 minutes up the road, I could get it, but not right here. It burns :mad: MacMan: The non fiber-op is also unlimited; it's what I have. It's not as reliable as fiber-op, nor as fast, but man, the unlimited bandwidth... no comparison. Couldn't live without it. On my server where I do...

    Changing the Focus of a Photo After it's Taken with Light Field Technology

    To some, there are few things on earth more fun than snapping photos. Some use their cameras for pleasure, others use it for business, while some even manage to do it for both. If there's one complaint that all photographers share, though, it's that a poor focus can ruin what could have been an...

    Tinyhack - A Fun 9x9 Adventure Game

    No idea. After finding out it doesn't support anti-aliasing, I stopped playing.

    Tinyhack - A Fun 9x9 Adventure Game

    An all-too-unfortunate belief in gaming is that graphics = awesome, but in a lot of cases, that's just not the case. There have been a countless number of big-budget titles released over the years that have had mind-blowing graphics, that were just no fun to play. Alright... some have...

    Great way to get back at an ex-boss

    Get fired from a job? Then you might as well figure out a way to -really- piss off your ex-boss: Imagine you're giving a presentation to the board of directors at your company. You have your PowerPoint slides all ready, you're projecting onto a 64 inch screen... what could possibly go wrong...

    ASUS Holding 'Formula X' Computer Enthusiast Event this Weekend

    But we ARE the happiest! http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/story/2007/12/27/happiness-atlantic.html Hah, nice one. I do appreciate the fact that we can go most places and the world and not feel hated, though ;-)

    AMD Rejects BAPCo's SYSmark 2012 - Should We?

    You have to give credit to Intel for one thing... few other semiconductor companies have been accused of cheating for nearly 30 years ;-) That's one reason I've come to appreciate SPEC's CPU benchmark, since it's architecture-agnostic. Nowadays, though, Intel has the biggest advantage by being...

    OCZ Vertex 3 240GB SATA 6Gbit/s SSD Review

    OCZ's Vertex series of SSDs have earned the reputation as being some of the best, by offering excellent throughput and random 4KB IOPS performance. Vertex 3 takes things to an entirely new level, in some cases doubling the performance of its predecessor, and gives us an uncompromising balance...

    Blame Canada for this world!

    Hah, Americans have called Canadian money "plastic money" for a while anyway; might as well be true. Of course I won't mention that the Canadian dollar has been worth more than the USD for a while now.

    Duke Nukem Forever Demo lands TODAY!

    I'll just leave this here. Alright, in all seriousness, I just had a great time with the game. Plus, I kind of sped through the first time without spending time on finding all the secrets, so I wanted to do that, and for the sake of real completeness, decided to go for the Insane difficulty...

    AMD Rejects BAPCo's SYSmark 2012 - Should We?

    Or, it could at least base the testing off of current and on-going trends. There are numerous reports out there that show what people are doing with their PCs, so it's not an unknown. But aside from that, SM2012 runs some tests with outdated software, so there's more than just one factor...

    Duke Nukem Forever Review

    Heh, I agree, though most of the best ones were sucked right out of movies. Personal favorite is, "You've got a lot of guts. Let's see what they look like." That to me is cool also, and makes me regret not owning the G19. One thing I missed in DNF that 3D had was the end-level summaries. You...

    Mozilla Releases First 'Rapid Release' Firefox, 5.0

    It's humorous that you mention that, Glider, because I use a single extension and it broke with 5.0. That kind of thing shouldn't be left up to either the user or developer, though... the design should be better so that extensions don't break with an upgraded version. I assume things are going...

    It's events like these that make me wish I lived in Cali. Nothing so epic ever happens here!

    It's about time! What's the deal with it taking so long? As for Steam, there seems to be one available now: http://store.steampowered.com/agecheck/app/57900/
