    Dear old nerds, what were the old days like?

    There were a lot fewer social justice warriors, and nobody complained about how you couldn't play a female in game, or how trans people weren't being represented.

    EA Exec: Xbox One and PS4 Are "A Generation Ahead" Of PC

    A top-of-the-line PC is incomprehensibly powerful to people not familiar with high-end hardware and how it works. The PS4 and Xbone have the same stats as you might expect to find in a mid-range PC from about two years ago, or a mid/low-range PC today. The manufacturing lag will make it even worse.

    EA Exec: Xbox One and PS4 Are "A Generation Ahead" Of PC

    I don't think you realize what $2K of hardware actually means in the PC world. That's someone's dream rig right there. The PS4 and Xbone hardware? That's a $600-800 rig as of two years ago. Today, those specs are what you'd find in a $500 rig, tops. Oh, heh, look at the Xbone's price tag...

    The Glorious PC Gaming Master Race

    This. A year and a half ago, I spent $700 on what was then a standard late 2011 built - i5 2500k, p67 chipset (cheap mobo), GTX560ti. I won't feel obligated to upgrade the processor for another three years minimum, I might drag it out to four with the power of overclocking. The GPU is good...

    What is the point of consoles anymore?

    The point of consoles? Well, you can get spied on by your always-on kinect... and you can pay slightly less than you would for a roughly equivalent two-year-old PC... and that's pretty much it. Hail the glorious dawn of the Master Race. Tremble and kneel before us, for our time has come at last.

    Xbox One Not Backwards Compatible

    Erm... AMD's cheap octocores are not clocked at a high speed. Their outdated architecture worsens the situation. As I said earlier, there are working Xbox 360 emulators on the PC. Clock speed is not the only factor in performance. Besides. AMD is releasing a $700 octocore clocked at 5ghz...

    Girlfriend Zone!

    Yeah bro, it's a great idea to randomly hook up with a girl without getting to know her first. I just walk up to them on the street and I'm like "You're a really nice person, and I quite like you. I'd like to enter a deep, meaningful, committed relationship with you." Complaining about guys...

    Need Gaming PC advice!

    Don't get a gaming laptop, you simply can't get a good one for a low price, and considering the GPU and CPU hits you take, I'd postulate that you simply can't get a good one period. Go with a desktop, get a nice IPS monitor, get a solid graphics card, it'll hold you for years and you can...

    Xbox One Not Backwards Compatible

    Hey guys. In case you hadn't heard about this thing called Google, it's really easy to tell that Microshaft is bullshitting you. There are working Xbox 360 emulators for the x86 architecture (i.e. PCs). They're buggy, and don't always work that well, but they exist. That fact alone means that...

    Abortion Doctor found guilty of murder following late-term abortions

    Yell away, mate. To state that the pro-life community provides no support is a lie. I'm speaking from experience here. Care to prove otherwise? I'm not touching this debate any more, I get really fucking pissed when people try to defend murder in any form - death penalty, warfare, abortion...

    DayZ Mod for ArmA II

    This game went from a relatively obscure hardcore milsim to #1 in Steam's top sellers after bouncing between 9th and 5th for a few weeks. Devs, take note: THIS IS WHY YOU RELEASE GOOD MODDING TOOLS I spent the $30 for CO. I'm not sure if it was worth it, but my God, I had fun when I was...

    Dammit. I guess this means the Game of Thrones set I was working on will be a no-go?

    Why primitive, older graphics are better than modern graphics.

    Does the pathfinding work properly in Fortress mode? I've always wanted flying dwarves building a fortress on an aerie, but I thought they only worked in Adventurer mode. Flying Dorfs are pretty much perfect, come to think of it... you can flood the world with magma without worrying about...
