    PS3 Dualshock 3 Gamepad En Route... Finally!

    From our front-page news: It feels like forever that PS3 gamers have been waiting to get their rumble on... because well, it almost has been. The PS3 launched in November 2006, which means that we waited a long SIX<strike>axis</strike>TEEN months to see this thing hit the street! What was the...

    Is Gentoo Linux 2008.0 Ever Going to See the Light of Day?

    openSUSE is a good one to test out with. It's kind of bloated in some regards, but seems to cater a lot to the newbie and advanced Linux user alike. I've never touched Linux Mint, but those are definite pluses. SabayonLinux is another option for those that don't mind a really robust (as in...

    ASUS WL-500gU Wireless Router

    Need a new router but not ready to take the 802.11n plunge? We're taking a look at a brand-new ASUS model that boasts tried and true 802.11g and offers it at a great price. It lacks in certain ways, but makes up for it in others, such as with the inclusion of a real print server. You can read...

    Worse performance on an overclock?

    Sounds more like an unstable OC than anything... how much voltage are you applying to the Northbridge or CPU? You aren't pushing the CPU to 100C+ temps like you did with my QX9650, are you? ;-)

    Razer Barracuda AC-1 $49.99!

    Haha. This IS a great card. If I wasn't so gung-ho on the Xonar, I would have picked up one for the other PC. But $50... you cannot go wrong, that's for sure. Plus, this is based on a C-Media chipset, so it would work in Linux, woot.

    Hmm, they do make it sound like it's the banks fault. I had a similar issue last year when I canceled an order, and had the same problem. Mine was the banks fault, though.

    About the 3rd birthday contest

    The request was to those who didn't receive their e-mail to enter the contest in the first place... not to e-mail about a winner. The winner will be announced publicly next week.

    Favorite April Fool's joke?

    I admit it... I dislike April Fool's. I find it tedious to read the news and not know what's real... it's so annoying. Because of this so-called hatred, I didn't find too much that was humorous... except for this...

    ASUS EN8800GTS TOP 512MB

    NVIDIA's 9-series might be brand-new, but the 8-series should not be overlooked. Most 8800 GTS 512 cards cost less than the 9800 GTX, and can be easily overclocked to overpower it. In the case of this pre-overclocked ASUS card, the 9800 GTX doesn't have a fighting chance. You can read the full...

    9800GTX Launched today. (Not and April Fools Joke)

    Sure... but I already do that for the most part, since I benchmark each game at 2560x1600. And.. as it stands, the 8800GTS 512 (overclocked) outperforms the GTX in almost all of our tests, so I am assuming the 9800 GTX will be similar. However, this ASUS card is highly overclocked, so the 8800...

    And I'll be posting the 8800GTS 512 review tonight because I forgot about it!

    Playstation Store to Receive Revamp Mid-April

    What I mean though, is that that "Concept" you are playing is not really related to Prologue... it's just a GT concept demo. Prologue should be FAR more impressive graphics and gameplay-wise. I was NOT impressed by that Concept demo at all. The course was bland and the fact that people didn't...

    Ouch. Totaled 2008 Viper SRT10

    I agree... the GT-R is an absolutely wicked car, and idiots like that shouldn't be able to buy them in the first place. Yes, they go fast, but just because that's the case doesn't mean you should exploit it (especially when you don't know how to handle it). These people are lucky to not get...

    SteelSeries Ikari Laser Mouse

    Yes, that was a fantastic review Nate. I appreciate the amount of testing you put each peripheral you evaluate through, and I'm sure our readers feel the same way. That said, I'm definitely thinking about getting one of these.

    Playstation Store to Receive Revamp Mid-April

    You are not playing the demo :P You are playing a tech demo that's != to Prologue. You know... I love the Xbox 360, I admit it. But I am increasingly becoming more annoyed by its clunkiness and inability to perform simple tasks. For example, I set up a NAS as a media server last night... the...

    Is Gentoo Linux 2008.0 Ever Going to See the Light of Day?

    I use Gentoo exclusively, but as I mentioned before, I don't recommend it for someone not familiar with Linux unless you REALLY want to devote some time to learning how Linux works. It's definitely one of the best ways to learn the ins and outs though, that's for sure. I also spoke too...

    9800GTX Launched today. (Not and April Fools Joke)

    I'll have a review up on Fri... and I'll compare it to an OC'd 8800 GTS 512. I haven't read other reviews, yet.

    OCZ or CRUCIAL Ballistix

    Hah, that might be the same reason I dislike them. Kidding :D
