I prefer AMD mostly because AMD aren't nearly as anal about what hardware they will work with. With Nvidia the optimal setup is the ONLY setup allowed. While AMD works with any AMD card of the same architecture, so you can you can create a decent transitional rig. Don't have enough for that...

Some of the really hardcore games use high grade CRTs because of the complete lack of input and response lag and NO screen tearing. They are really popular with fighting game hardcores. CRTs also have better contrast and spectrum ratios than a flat panel can even hope to achieve. A really...

Agreed, from what I've read so far I don't think the Euros in the community understand just how bad an insult "****" is in the US. It's damn near blood-feud level and has no positive context. You can't use it when joking among close friends and you will lose friends if you do, even if they...

That's because both Canada and the UK has "Fairness Doctrine" similar to what the US had before the mid-80's. Since that doctrine takes the BBC's neutrality at face value every news station operating in those countries is compared to the BBC to determine the fairness of their coverage. As such...

I'm a quintessential COD fanboy who jumped ship to battlefield due to apathy to the poor trailers for MW3. I really wish I didn't. I've spent two days playing this in two hour bursts of gameplay trying my hardest to get used to it, because I wanted to give it a fair shake. I knew it played...

Buy a Hydro cooling system to keep you CPU cold http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181015 You will need it because a custom rig always runs much hotter than a prebuilt one due to lack of engineered air flow. And the Corsair hydro is the utter best you can get without...

I think they added the energy costs to the take downs just to keep them from being utterly broken. I found the "give me Deus Ex" difficulty absurdly easy if you take the non-lethal route and have some patience. It's actually somewhat funny, because I'm finding the hardest difficulty far easier...

As a Smoker, I can tell you it's less the nicotine and more the whole ritual of smoking that relieves stress for most smoker. Because it gives you an excuse to disengage from what is stressing you and have 5-7 mins of peace. The hunt for your pack, then your lighter, then fighting the wind to...

I was kinda meh about the demo till I figured out how to juggle enemies in the air. Then it became a lot more fun for me. Seeing how many limbs I can shoot off before he hits the ground is awesome. I do wish they gave an entire level with a boss to give us more of a taste of the gameplay and...

A forward-weight bias is actually a good thing for a slashing weapon, like scimitar or a katana, to increase the momentum behind the blow. For a weapon meant primarily for thrusting, like a bastard sword or a rapier you'd want a rear weight bias for better point control. Frostmorne is...

Yeah I never saw the issue with any of them. My brother is a dedicated noobtuber (all he uses is an M4 with grenade attachment and danger close) and I would never question his skill, because I've seen him pull off some awe-inspiring shots with it. Jug balances stopping power, why is there...

Having played both single player and multiplayer it seems like the developers didn't really think the game all the way through. The single player is basically random missions that do eventually come together at the end but the ending is a straight up insult to the player. It completely...

It would be awesome if they added insanity effects to the gameplay to mix things up and force the player to moderate his "plasmid" use. If the player starts spamming "plasmids", his character will start hallucinating and gain weird status effects that actually affect gameplay. That would be...

Didn't demos used to be free?

The tax issue is one of those strange issues. Cutting tax actually rarely has major effect on government income in a good economy. He cut taxes to kill off the recession we were heading into after 9/11 and it actually had almost no effect on the amount of money the government was taking in...
