If you ask most tech enthusiasts, they will credit Intel with starting the SSD trend as we know it. Which if true, may be why it would surprise some to learn that the original X25-E Intel launched way back in 2008 has never seen a refresh or product update. For those like me with short-term...

Yeah, we'll need to do that soon, if I can manage to convince him. He hates that DLC, and I can understand the reasoning behind it. Still, it's a change of pace, and fun. And I have four skill credits in total to earn from them (playthrough one and two), so I'd actually like to get them. The...

I love it how these goons love to make sport their excuse for acting like idiots. Those pictures in that first article are enough to see just what kind of mentality some of these people have... they're animals. Truly ridiculous. I'm happy the Bruins won, and am even more glad that I managed to...

To help launch Duke Nukem Forever in style, NVIDIA held an event appropriately called "Happy Endings" at the Palladium Ballroom in Dallas, TX last week. There, both Gearbox and a sponsored PC mod were present, and to show those who weren't there what they missed, NVIDIA has just posted a...

Ugh, I didn't even clue into that. I looked around and it doesn't look like the demo is available to the public. *sigh* What a dumb move on 2K's part.

With a fifth grader being younger than its development cycle, Duke Nukem Forever didn't hold much chance to live up to its hype. The fact that the game has exchanged multiple hands and game engines sure doesn't help, either. In the end, Duke Nukem Forever launched to mostly horrible...

This is a brilliant move on Valve's part. The games are free to play, but certain in-game transactions (purchasing items or services) will have a cut going straight to Valve. I am a little surprise this took so long, to be honest.

No kidding, that drives me nuts. I think the problem is that a lot of people have been desensitized to violence, but sex is just getting more prevalent in video games over time, so people tend to notice it more. This subject alone is too complex to discuss in a simple thread like this though...

After more than a decade, the king is back. Duke Nukem has been living the dream of being a worldwide icon since finishing off the Cycloid Emperor long ago - but the aliens have returned. Duke once again has to save both himself and the world by any means necessary. Does this adventure manage to...

Welcome to the forums! As mentioned in the article, ext4 is indeed required for TRIM to function, though there are other non-ext file systems that I believe will work as well (Brtfs, for one). TRIM is not possible on a swap partition, as its file system doesn't support it. On the upside, it's...

I don't care if Apple, Paul Thurrott, an Apple site, a Linux site, Duke Nukem or Jesus calls Lion a "major" release. It's not. I don't need to be "told" what's major; I can decide on my own. From an end-user perspective, Snow Leopard did feel like a 'service pack'. The bulk of that release had...

Where pre-order bonuses are concerned, I can love 'em or hate 'em. If the bonuses that gamers get aren't detrimental to the gameplay, and can later become acquired by the rest of us, I don't have a big deal with it. But when publishers offer pre-order bonuses that can award gamers a big...

Your logic escapes me. I did the same Google search, and the articles that stated Lion as being a 'major' upgrade ripped the word right out of Apple's press release. At the same time, within the first two search results were forum threads where people stated that it was not a major upgrade. As...

When Microsoft showed off the first real glimpse of Windows 8 at the D9 conference a couple of weeks ago, I doubt there was a single person on earth who didn't have to think about what they were seeing for a couple of minutes. For end users, imagining using the UI we were shown as a primary...

You planning on playing tonight? We can share notes on MSN, haha :D Perhaps if you are interested we could get some Duke MP going this week. Though I am not sure at the moment how that even works or what modes are included.

With Duke Nukem Forever having launched this past Friday internationally and launching tomorrow in North America, it's of little surprise that the launch reviews are already beginning to pour out. The game has sure taken "forever" to get here, so was it worth the wait? Judging by the...

Being that silence is golden, it's no wonder that so many people go out of their way to make sure their PC runs as quiet as possible. Pulling that off can be made a lot easier with the right chassis, however, and of them all, NZXT's H2 is one of the best. It features classy aesthetics, a ton of...

I saw that the other day, and agree. It'd be like me reviewing the upcoming Serious Sam game and whining about there being too much killing. I don't expect this to be an epic game, but IGN probably should have gotten someone with a sense of humor to review it.

I haven't played Batman: Arkham Asylum, but we need more games that push PhysX like that in order to see the tech become something that gamers really want. I'm in the process of installing Mirror's Edge since I'm long overdue for playing through it, and look forward to experiencing some good use...

You don't -have- to use the integrated graphics processor, though. It's just another feature tacked on there for those that do. A typical PC gamer is not going to consider using the IGP, but for most users, it's sufficient for HD video and casual games. For the rest of us, we'll stick to a...
