    Keyboard Quandary

    Agreed. Typing on blues and most mild gaming feels amazing, but you can't beat the reds for FPS's. Just playing UT for a little while I could feel the extra responsiveness. I can't make up my mind on which is my favorite so I'll be having 2 keyboards sitting on my desk for the near future. Now...

    Keyboard Quandary

    Its not about the speed I can type with it, its the beautiful feel of typing on it. It was like when I made the switch from an auto to a stick car, they may both get me from point a to b but the journey is more satisfying. The K70 makes it more engaging with every press and has the positive...

    Keyboard Quandary

    So for a quick update: I'm not sure why I drug my feet for so long, but I finally jumped aboard the mechanical keyboard train. I went with the Corsair K70 with the blue switches. I purchased some 40 A-L red key switch dampners as well. but after a good week of usage, I decided I love the way it...

    Keyboard Quandary

    This is one of those dive right in and regret it things for me. I'm going to bit the bullet and get the blues. I'm not a headphone gamer, but that'll be my next investment after the keyboard. I listened to some youtube videos, and the difference was noticable.

    Keyboard Quandary

    Ok, so I've finally jumped on getting rid of my terrible Microsoft mouse and picked up a Roccat Kone XTD and supplemented it with a Razor Vespula gaming pad. I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on a new keyboard, and I'm 100% certain I want a Corsair Vengeance K70. Problem is I'm torn on...

    Organ Trail!

    The recent Humble Bundle humbled me with a few extra games, so I'd like to give out another game to the first person to claim it. Appropriately enough, its Organ Trail, no better time than Halloween. This game is great, especially for anyone who played Oregon Trail back in school. For such an...

    NVIDIA shows off Hawken's PhysX capabilities

    I don't see why propriotary features is such a bad thing. At the end of the day if you didn't have something to set AMD and Nvidia apart all you'd have is a war over who can squeeze a few more FPS out of the highest resolution.

    My 660 GTX Experience

    That was a good read. It's interesting how much faster the new Core i series is than the old C2Q, despite having similar clock speeds. I have a QX6700, which I OC'd moderately to 3.5 GHz, and it seems to pull its own weight. Tom's Hardware did a similar review, but it focused more on gaming...

    My 660 GTX Experience

    For years now I've been using my very old Core 2 quad machine as my primary gaming system. I've been wanting to upgrade very badly, but I wasn't 100% convinced that it was worth upgrading just yet. It started off a beast of a machine with dual 8800 GTX's, then after those bit the dust a single...

    Physical Game Mediums

    In theory I spend more money to get this game until April 30th (as SSBFE is on sale for $14 until then) then it goes back up to $39.99. I spend $33 with shipping for the UK version. This was my only option to have a physical copy.

    Physical Game Mediums

    You hit the nail on the head there, there are obvious repercussions of eliminating the physical medium such as job loss. Even console gamers will see less options for buying discs in the next console generation. I agree about the benefit of digital distribution of indie games. I honestly...

    Physical Game Mediums

    I have a little frustration to get off my chest. As a pretty avid PC gamer since I received my first copy of Tomb Raider 2 I've always enjoyed opening a new PC game. It must have been the flashy packaging from Tomb Raider that got me, with the large box and fold up flap on the front displaying...

    Windows Update

    Thanks guys, I figured that there's no "quick" fix for my problem. And yeah, I shut off every and all firewalls and virus scanners and anything I can think of. I might just go ahead and reformat eventually, thanks for the ideas.

    Windows Update

    Thanks Rob, but that didn't do it either.

    Windows Update

    Hey guys, I was hoping someone could lend me some insight on an ongoing problem with Windows Update for me. About 2 months ago, I switched from Cox Cable from ATT and I haven't been able to update Windows for the life of me. I keep getting Windows Update error 80004002. I have Vista Home 64-bit...

    New video card recommendations?

    That looks perfect! I'm skipping the 3D thing for now, I haven't liked it too much when I played with it last. It'll take time for me to make the jump to 3D, but I'm not going to adopt it until its a lot more mainstream.

    New video card recommendations?

    Wow guys good advice! I appreciate it all. I think i might go with a 2 gb 560 ti, and if the framerates are good enough I might just hold out on a new system for a little longer. Plus that'll be reason to get a bigger monitor until then! So any recommendations for a good monitor?
