Erin, look into my eyes! You WILL like Activision! I DO NOT work for an evil corporation!

Just a quick note, the High-Quality HTML5 .webm videos for last week and this week do not work. Every other HTML5 video on the site released in the last two weeks have been fine. The video will work when I switch it to Flash Player, so I wonder if you have bad video links. I'm using Firefox 19...

I'm right there with you! I think the worst port I've started playing recently was Darksiders 2. Even playing it with a controller, you can just tell that bringing it to the PC was just an afterthought for the dev. Although, many 'ports' or multi-platform games are developed quite well for the...

I wouldn't sweat buying it for the PC. I have the Steam version and my rig didn't generally have any of the issues that Ilikemilkshake had. But I can't deny that the problems don't exist for various users, because every rig is different (both in hardware and actively running software). The mouse...

Obviously the RS-237-A refers to himself as an updated serial port connector. At the end of the next video we're going to find out that this entire sequence was a dream and in reality he's just a serial port on the back of an 90's era PC. His 'neighbor' was just the printer he was trying to...

$60!?! I don't think I want your low quality HDMI cable to spoil the rich sound I receive from my Denon AKDL1 Dedicated Link Cable. Although, with your lower quality cable I might be able to re-compress all of my 320kbps Mp3's down to 192kbps. I'll be able to save at least 500MB! ;)

Are you trying to say the the entire electrical grid of the United States will switch from 60Hz to 120Hz? Frame-rate and refresh rate are completely different things. Refresh rates for broadcasting to analog TV's were set to the Hz rate of the electrical grid of the corresponding countries. The...

I'm now actually quite interested in the hardware you had in your pre-built system and what you 'upgraded' it with. An $80 GPU and a $125 CPU is still on the low-end of the spectrum in each of the respective hardware categories. It seems to me that you upgraded your low-end system with just more...

I don't support Origin, nor do I play military shooters (early Medal of Honor and Call of Duty games left a bitter taste in my mouth). Although Sci-Fi Shooters I'm fine with! When I think back on my early experiences in PC gaming some of the hoops I had to jump through to get some of my games...

In this day and age, it's simply a fallacy to believe that you can't play a PC game on a big screen TV with an Xbox 360 controller. Many graphics cards these days include a HDMI port for passing 1080p video and HD Audio to your TV or Receiver. Also, almost every game I've played that has been...

Ha! We're quoting the guys over at Head-FI now! Audiophiles are known for their smoke and mirrors when they talk about headphones and the $1,000 amps they buy to drive them. Most headphones on the market at any price range are EQ'd to mask the inefficiencies of the drivers they put in them. Have...

For this price range I've bought a pair of Ultrasone's Zino lightweights. They pack the 40mm gold drivers found in their PRO-650 cans ($300 closed-back headphones), into this lightweight open-back model. If you want crisp, clear bass, this is what you're looking for within the price range as...

So yet another new feature for my Xbox that my PC has already been doing for over a year!

Oops, you we're doing close to the same thing as I was doing at the same time!
