    Who's watching the World Cup?

    It hasn't been that boring! You must be watching the wrong matches ;-) To be fair, about half of the games so far have been a bit lackluster, but others, such as GER vs. AUS and NED vs. DEN have been quite interesting. I missed JPN vs. CAM today, but it looks like that was a rather good one as...

    Need for Speed bringing back Hot Pursuit!

    FINALLY! It looks as though the next Need for Speed title is going to revisit the Hot Pursuit series, one where there's a lot of running from the cops, and a lot of play where you are the cops. Aside from these modes, the Hot Pursuit series (Hot Pursuit 1 and 2 were the third and sixth in the...

    A Look at Game Development During the Amiga Years

    If I could choose to relive an era of gaming, it might just be the mid-to-late 80's. At that time, I was very young, but that's part of what I believe made video gaming so much fun, and caused the immersion levels to be so high. Even at that time, there were numerous games to play, across a...

    Checking out Gigabyte's HQ

    After more thought, I don't think he was dealing with Corsair at all. I'm not sure how I had that in my head, but even while talking to him I thought, "Interesting, he's using Corsair". I blame jet lag.

    Xbox 360 "slim" hands-on

    It might have taken close to 5 years, but Microsoft is prepared to roll out a completely refined and improved Xbox 360. The result is a console that's much sexier, much glossier, and according to Ars Technica, a <em>lot</em> quieter. Looks good to me...

    Wicked Laser's Spyder III Pro Arctic is Ultra-Powerful and Super Affordable

    One of the coolest "toys" I'd like to own is a good laser, and I'm sure many of you don't even need an explanation as to why. Having the ability to burn things with a freaking laser is simply cool, not to mention be able to shoot a beam of light at something a hundred meters away. Many times...

    Checking out Gigabyte's HQ

    Err, I am not even sure where Corsair is in the picture. Perhaps he didn't have one at all, but for some reason I left there having it in my head. Maybe it's the Antec he's using and I got confused. Regarding Gigabyte's issues there, is it the only company that had such issues? It seems...

    MAINGEAR F131 contest

    http://www.maingear.com/winf131/ All you need to do is input your e-mail address by the looks of things. Couldn't be much easier! Strange about the HD 4890, and the lack of rules and regulations, though. I'd assume this contest might just be for those in the US, but I could be wrong.

    Who's watching the World Cup?

    First and foremost, if you want to get an interactive schedule for the World Cup, you can check out eunoia's thread :D So, who out there is watching the World Cup? I have noticed that this time around, there seems to be a LOT of support from those who generally don't care too much about...

    Checking out Gigabyte's HQ

    What's wrong with Corsair power supplies? I'm no expert on them, so I have no idea. I do know that I've had five since their introduction and have never run into an issue. On the other hand, I've owned a single Antec PSU and it died on me. It's odd, too, since that's the only PSU in the past...

    World Cup Calendar

    That's a nice tool... well-designed! I admit that it's a little more than I need though. I've been referring to a PDF that FIFA itself hosts, which is simple to follow. It's not as though there are so many matches that it's tough to keep up on, so it's nice.

    Checking out Gigabyte's HQ

    He said he was using Corsair's supplies because they're better at handling multi-GPU configurations. He planned to benchmark either a tri or quad-SLI setup, and ended up killing one PSU so he was working on getting another. At least, that's how I understood it. As for the beer, it's...

    Checking out Gigabyte's HQ

    Since I had a couple of days to kill after Computex ended, I decided to take a trip to Gigabyte's HQ in Taiwan which happens to be about a 25 - 30 minute drive from the center of Taipei. It's not here where product is built and shipped (there are multiple factories, with one being located in...

    The Booth Babes of Computex 2010

    Haha. In an odd coincidence, two CES' ago, I mentioned to NVIDIA about a "TnA issue", when I meant "TnL", haha. I apparently had Vegas seriously on the mind.

    Official OCZ wallpapers

    Fixed. It doesn't surprise me... that hotel's Internet was crap, and go figure... it was the only one I stayed in (out of three) this trip that charged for it.

    ASUS Pairs Hydra and Radeon HD 5770 with Immensity Motherboard

    One of the cooler aspects of Computex is that at each turn, you may spot a product that causes you to exclaim, "neat!", "cool!" or "innovative!". For the most part, we have reason to be excited for a lot of these products, as they're usually set to be launched in the marketplace not long...

To kick off what will be the first of many USB 3.0 device reviews, we're taking a look at Super Talent's SuperCrypt thumb drive, which promises both...

    The Booth Babes of Computex 2010

    At least NVIDIA is attempting to make up for its hot cards with even hotter booth babes all over Computex. No complaints here!

    ASUS Updates Lamborghini VX Notebook, Introduces Eee PC Version

    The first notebook I ever took for a test drive for the site was ASUS' Lamborghini VX1 (see, the "test drive" thing works). At that time, I didn't ponder the future of the series too much, but assumed that there would be plans to unveil a new model every so often. As we see today, that...

    NZXT's External Sentry LXE Fan Controller Available Soon

    Where fan controllers are concerned, NZXT has been a popular choice due to aesthetics, performance, features, and of course, price. We've taken a look at a few of the company's models in the past, and all have left us with a sense of satisfaction. The Sentry LXE aims to continue that...
