It hardly feels like it's been a couple of months since I attended the GO OC 2009 North American regional final, but lo and behold, fifteen months have passed since! The 2010 iteration of the event is being held a little bit later this year for various reasons, and happens this coming weekend...

StarCraft II was launched last week to much fanfare, and though I haven't heard of any sales figures yet, the game seems to be well-received so far. Well, for those who can play it without their graphics card overheating, that is. Yes, it seems that even the biggest games on the planet can ship...

Arcade machines are unfortunately becoming rarer by the day, but for those who have the money, and also the room, the popularity of purchasing a machine for home use is increasing. The problem, though, is that when you choose an arcade machine, or a pinball machine, you're usually limited to...

Haha, you aren't just walking up to the diving board... you've already dove in! It's good that you're able to do that, though. Many people think it's impossible to move over to Linux only because of gaming, but that's not the case at all. I use Linux full-time but still keep Windows around for...

I admit, Need for Speed World is a game that came out of nowhere for me... I just had no idea it was on the horizon until last month, and here it is... released. Has anyone else been paying attention to this one at all? It's essentially Need for Speed, but online-only. The game is free to play...

Glad I'm not alone, haha. I wish he had a lot more specials under his belt... I could listen to that guy for hours.

Hey, I'm sadistic like this :D

Since it's been quite a while since I last took openSUSE for a spin, I couldn't resist downloading the 11.3 release that came out in mid-July. To see how the distro fares today, I installed it onto my home PC and used it for just over a week. So, read on for an in-depth look at what's new and...

Hope you're having a great birthday Doomsday! It's probably already like midnight over there, so hopefully you're already a little wobbly by now :P

If you're a gamer, and it doesn't really matter for how long, chances are good that you have some fond memories of old games you used to play in years past. These games could have been on the PC, or consoles, mobiles or any other device... it doesn't matter. Personally, I have a lot of fond...

So, I found out about this dude a couple of weeks ago, and finally managed to catch a special of his (Hot and Fluffy), and I have to say... he's easily one of the funniest stand-up comedians I've ever heard. There was one point where I had a hard time breathing from laughing so hard, and I can't...

I have no doubt that the companies worried about SSD's are those with significant investment into mechanical storage technologies, because even since SSD's hit the "mainstream", representatives from ALL of these companies downplayed the effect of SSD's, and ironically, almost all of them today...

Been a LONG while since I've listened to stuff by Sven Väth. Not entirely into that track you linked, but it's inspired me to take a look through his other tracks again soon ;-) Haha, maybe that's the look he's going for. Friend just saw DT a couple of weeks ago... I'll have to ask him if he...

I agree to some extent, but on the other hand, I appreciate it, because even with all this plastic, the chassis is not that light, haha. It all feels quite sturdy as well, so there's no issues there. I wish I could help you here, but I really have no idea whatsoever. I am not that familiar...

As far as I'm concerned, you made a great choice by choosing Gentoo to help you learn Linux, <em>especially</em> for the kind of work you do. Distros like Ubuntu are fine for the end-user, but if you REALLY want to learn the ins and outs of Linux, they aren't exactly the best choice, since they...

When NVIDIA first launched its Fermi architecture earlier this year, the crowd that seemed to gain the most consist of those who take advantage of GPU's for non-gaming purposes, such as scientists, designers or anyone that needs to execute complex mathematical code at a heavily paralleled level...

As soon as solid-state storage hit the scene in a big way a few years ago, some people immediately began to contemplate the potential demise of mechanical storage as we knew it. That argument has once again been brought to the table by storage-tracking site Enterprise Storage Forum. Does...

SSD's are not considered to be "affordable" by many, and that's especially true when talking about PCI Express versions. But, that's soon to change, with the launch of OCZ's Revo - a drive that barely charges a premium over current high-end SSD's. While we iron out the details for our full...

You're running Gentoo? That's great :D What do you think of it so far, and why did you choose that distro out of curiosity?

That seems like a straight-forward question, but what exactly is cheating? Indeed, "cheating" could refer to a hundred different things, from hacking a game to explore it beyond the way it was meant to be, typing in a code to enable a God mode, or to take advantage of a glitch to make your game...
