    Tax for Canadians who bought Heart of the Swarm Online?

    Just a quick question. If you are from Canada, live in Ontario and bought Heart of the Swarm online from the blizzard store, did you get charged tax? What was the final price? Blizzard is taking their sweet time to change my country setting from USA to Canada and I'm just trying to figure out...

    The Big Picture: Frame Rate

    I saw it in 48 fps and I loved the higher frame rate. Finally, I can actually see what is going on in those fast paced action scenes and the overall picture quality looked absolutely beautiful. Better than any film I ever remember seeing. What's more is that the 3D felt so much more natural than...

    Copyright Lawsuits Come to Canada

    I couldn't agree with you more. You would be surprised what wealthy companies can waste the court's time with. Also, the $ 10,000 is because they are trying to discourage infringement as well as seek damages for not just the download but the act of sharing and the other infringements that...

    Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator Warps to iOS

    I play this game on PC every once in a while. There is a group of people here in Waterloo Ontario that meet and play this on a nearly weekly basis. Strongly recommended.

    Valve Plans Living-Room Gaming PCs for 2013

    Those were the good days. I think most people have forgotten the graphics card war between ati and nvidia. Not to mention all the excitement over technologies like dx10, physx and 64 bit machines. Now physx is basically dead, everything still uses 32 bit processing, we just keep making games for...

    Valve Plans Living-Room Gaming PCs for 2013

    Valve's version can't be modified but the systems released by other manufactures might be, just like any regular PC. The problem with apple is that it is a completely closed system with only one hardware platform, just like consoles are today. The only difference (besides what we use the device...

    Valve Plans Living-Room Gaming PCs for 2013

    Interesting idea. A console that plays PC games. Since it is independent from any specific manufacturer this could be really good for not only the pc gaming but gaming as a whole. Think about it. This thing is immune to the issues of the "console generation" which means that we don't have to...

    Developer Uses The Cloud to Bypass Console Certification

    One thing I never liked about consoles is how restricted they are especially when it comes to the online services. Nicely done Monolith.

    Rumor: New Torment Game in the Works

    Planescape Torment was awesome and I only played the game two years ago. (Somehow it passed me by when I was playing games like Baldur's Gate as a kid). Fortunately it sounds like he won't really be making a direct sequel and will instead be focusing on a spiritual successor that will have an...

    Battlefront III Died Just Inches From the Finish Line

    Chances are that even if they wanted to and they stripped the star wars copywritten content out, they couldn't finish it and make any money off it now. It really depends on the details of their contract with lucasarts.

    Next Gen Console vs This Gen PC graphics

    The real thing is that most games are coded initially to run on consoles and then ported to PC (usually very badly too). Because of this they will run much better on consoles despite the fact that the PC has more powerful hardware. One thing to note is that without a large number of high...

    North Korean Scientists Confirm That Unicorns Are Real

    Seriously North Korea? You just gotta love propaganda.
