    Microsoft to Release Public Windows 8 Build Tonight

    >> So, who's downloading it? Let me put it this way: If I want to try any of the new technological innovations of Windows 8, I think I'll use Windows 7. EDIT: To be fair, I just remembered there's native USB 3.0 support. So that's a plus.

    8 beers in America with plummeting sales

    I dunno. Definitely american beer isn't exactly a trading good most countries are interested in. With due respect, I don't think Americans ever understood this beverage. But Budweiser drop in sales in its home country doesn't come a a shock to me. InBev has been destroying brands a little all...

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution - A user review (Part III)

    Well, I finished my second playthrough just know. And while doing it a third time would just be weird, I can see myself coming back to this game in some months from now. Besides my vacations are almost over. I enjoyed greatly the experience and it's been quite a while since I last enjoyed a game...

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution - A user review (Part III)

    I'm sorry but I haven't experienced this. The game halted on me only twice in close to 80 hours of gameplay. And both times it happened when loading a new area. And by golly, no bsods whatsoever. The thought alone confuses me. I have no idea how this game could create a bsod in any operating...

    EA's Origin Service to Soon Introduce Third-Party Titles

    I feel so divided about these things. Doesn't seem I will ever be able to form a solid opinion. On one hand the free market lover in me wants to see competition, as this is the best way to ensure quality and helps companies focus on their consumers. But on the other hand the thought of having...

    Possibly getting an i7-980X setup for CHEAP

    As if they knew we were having this debate, Tom's Hardware just published a very interesting article that should help make a decision here. I think it also shows the qualities of the Sandy Bridge line in comparison with the Gulftown line. If you have no reason to suspect Tom's Hardware synthetic...

    At that price how can anyone blame you? Hell, you are getting the processor cheap and he's throwing in a top of the line motherboard and RAM for free! :D

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution - A user review (Part III)

    Ugh! I wouldn't know about Crysis 2; I was as interested on that one as I am of getting herpes. But DE:HR? Don't you think you are taking that too far? The game is actually widely regarded as much better looking on the PC. But even technically, they went a lot further than many other games...

    Possibly getting an i7-980X setup for CHEAP

    Crimson, Games have been supporting multi-threading since... a long time, as i'm sure you no doubt know. BF3 interesting thing is not the fact it supports multi-threading. You see, if this game can saturate 4 cores I'd be really impressed and the whole gaming community would probably be really...

    Holly! The i7 alone can cost you more than that. Excellent deal, Crimson. Congrats. That said, I don't know man. Are you going to take advantage of the hexa core? Because if this is mostly games you are aiming at with that machine, the 6 hype-threaded cores won't bring you any benefit since we...

    Have you seen this one, Rob? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2xFFRgl-oM&feature=related Goes into a lot of detail about the game mechanics. This really looks like a cool game.

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution - A user review (Part III)

    Thanks. I'm curious as to what that might be. I haven't noticed any issue with the anything preventing an achievement. The only annoying thing I noticed was that I ruined any chances of getting Foxiest of the Hounds on this second playthrough when I destroyed a security camera, after I had...

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution - A user review (Part II)

    This post continues from Deus Ex: Human Revolution - A user review (Part I) The Game Art One of the things that I found most interesting about DE:HR technology was its economical approach to DX11. Particularly with tessellation. The game makes use of it if the player has a DX11 compatible card...

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution - A user review (Part I)

    hmm.. I didn't forget about the second part. It's just taking longer than expected as I eventually decided to rewrite most of it. I will be posting it at most in the next 12 hours. Promise.
