    Taking a Look at the New GOG.com

    I'd have to agree there. Another thing I noticed is that the revamped site doesn't look so Apple-infused like the old one. That's a good thing. I hated going there and feeling like I was using a Mac. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    Hardest. Game. EVER.

    Haha! I heard about this game before, but never had the guts to download it. Judging by the YouTube videos, it's a major challenge, and one I'm not sure I'm up for. It almost seems like a game that the Angry Video Game Nerd needs to take a look at... though he might explode from anger. Funny...

    Sony's PlayStation 3 Seeing Hacks En Masse

    Over the course of the past week, Sony has amped up its stance against "hackers" by trying even harder to prevent its console from being circumvented. You might recall that a mod kit was released about a month ago to allow the playback of "backed up" game copies, and clearly, Sony wasn't too...

    In the TG Lab: ASUS Xonar DG Budget Audio Card

    When ASUS released its first Xonar audio card model in late 2007, it took the PC enthusiast community by storm. No one had expected the company to deliver a truly outstanding product, but it did, and it didn't only impress us, but audiophiles all over. Since that first launch, ASUS has...

    Taking a Look at the New GOG.com

    In the span of a single week, game delivery service GOG.com went from being shut down due to various reasons to being relaunched with a slew of new features enabled. Of course, the shutting down part was nothing more than a hoax, and a very poorly executed one if you ask me. Despite that...

    Thermaltake BlacX 5G HDD Docking Station

    It's probably clear by now that USB 3.0 is one of the best things to happen to external storage, but when it comes to choosing between the available docks and enclosures, it's tough. One of the best options might be Thermaltake's latest entry to its highly-successful BlacX line, the 5G. It...

    GO OC 2010 World Final Happening Tonight (And You Can Watch)

    The time has arrived. The best overclockers in the entire world are all soon to get together under the same roof to duke it out and declare one Gigabyte's Overclocking Champion. As always, the champsionship is taking place in Taipei, Taiwan, but unlike the usual Taipei 101 location, the...

    Got dirty balls?

    I might come off as being a buzzkill, but these commercials do nothing for me. Axe commercials have long been boring, and they just keep rehashing the same BS and trying to make it more racy. As for that Shake Weight, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the obvious. First time I saw the...

    The New-Age Nickel & Diming

    Over the course of the past couple of years, there's been a growing trend that's both frustrating and expensive to consumers. It also shows no sign of slowing down, and ironically, many of us contribute to it. As the title of this editorial suggests, this trend amounts to what I like to call...

    NVIDIA Brings its CUDA Architecture to x86

    In a move that's going to surprise, well, almost no one, NVIDIA has announced that it's porting its CUDA programming architecture to x86, which might help blow the doors open for broader adoption. As far as the GPGPU scheme of thing goes, NVIDIA is in a good place, because it's been at the...

    Are SSD Densities Going to be Halted Next Year?

    A couple of months ago, we linked to an article which stated that SSDs might never replace mechanical storage, at least in the sense that we'd no longer have the need for it again. Today, even if you do have an SSD, chances are good you have a mechanical drive installed as well for actual...

    GOG.com is Not Shutting Down, After All

    It's been a while since I last checked, but once the site is back up I'm going to see if the service added any of the game titles I mentioned in my review from last summer: 3-D Ultra Minigolf, 3-D Ultra Pinball, 7th Guest, Battlezone, Forsaken, Interstate 76, Jazz Jackrabbit, Magic Carpet...

    I Knew my GPU was Bugged...

    Hopefully now, the card's performance will again fly.

    Goddamn it Sony

    Haha! Ironically, it was THPS1 that got me into that band, and now I own all of their albums.

    Hasselblad to Releases 200 Megapixel Camera

    At this point in time, my Nikon D80 which I bought when it first came out is looking a bit aged, and compared to the latest releases from Nikon and others, it might even seem ancient. In one regard, there's the simple 10 megapixel sensor, which pales in comparison to the 12MP and higher sensors...

    GOG.com is Not Shutting Down, After All

    We reported yesterday that the game delivery service "Good Old Games" was shutting down, but as heavily speculated, it turns out that the entire thing was a hoax. GOG.com is here to stay, and during an online conference held earlier today, the company announced that the service will be...

    Five Web Browsers: Which is the Fastest?

    That's good to know, and I think that's how it should be. And thanks for the heads-up on the Peacekeeper test, I'm going to have to look into it more. The main reason I like it is because it actually involves the GPU in a real way, while the other tests I've seen do not. Geez, that's a LOT...

    Michael Jackson Gets His Own MMO - "Planet Michael"

    Are you a Michael Jackson fan? Have you ever listened to "Billie Jean" and wish you were her - or better yet, watched the "Thriller" music video and have been dying to explore that environment ever since? Well, it looks like you're not going to have to dream about such things for much longer, as...

    Corsair H70 CPU Cooler Follow-up Tests

    After we published our review of Corsair's H70 CPU cooler a couple of weeks ago, we couldn't shake the nagging feeling that some additional testing needed to be done with different airflow configurations. We succumbed, and have the results here. Will using a config opposite to Corsair's...
