    PC Gaming is Cool And All... But...

    Unfortunately my "box of hardware" weighs (feels like) half a tonne, is as tall as my torso and neally twice as wide. While I have the technology, the space and furniture is what I lack. And the wireless 360 remote is already a attachment of my PC, however the 26 inch LCD looks small from my...

    PC Gaming is Cool And All... But...

    ITT: People comparing a machette to a swiss army knife. The two may share a few common purposes, but are none of the like. PCs can do just about anything, while a console is a dedicated machine designed to connect man to fantasy by way of thumbs. Granted your mums desktop PC from 2006 she uses...

    Why are people so passionate about the platform they use for gaming?

    I too have wondered this very question. Owning a beast of a PC, PSP and a Xbox 360, I have still met the very restrictive barrier of 'Exclusive title'. I have not understood why any games company would want to do this, considering the actual amount of people wanting to waste money on buying...

    Would anyone jump ship (leave their country) if they could?

    Considering Australia has only had natural disaster, rather than civil or finacial disaster lately, I think I'll stay put.

    Poll: Should I get Skyrim for PC or for Xbox?

    Definately PC. I remember playing oblivion for the first time and thought it was pretty good. After awhile I got bored and started playing other games but came back to it after finding heaps of mods for it. Suffice to say, I was blown away. The HD makeovers, living worlds and random chance...

    Mana Bar Europe

    Well honestly a gaming bar will go off in any big city, as long as geeks and COD fans have a social, personal place to hang out at and challenge foes head to head, and not IP to IP, it'll go off, especially if the drink prices are near that of your local pub/bar. It'll be like the gym locker...

    Gearhead Geek Builds Turbine-Powered Batmobile

    Look up the Y2K bike and imagine yourself on one of them, no cab, no limit. But the RPM on most turbines is usually over 30K RPM, so a reduction gearbox is used to limit the rear wheel power to a realistic level.

    Poll: Your computer's weakest link...

    Try a cooling pad to force that air through. Laptops aren't gaming machines to begin with and require more maintenance than a desktop to keep cool. Plus laptop heat sinks clog up with dust and hair really easily too, found that out with plenty of serviced laptops. Check the oil sinks and cooling...

    Poll: Your computer's weakest link...

    A 6-core at 3.6Ghz each, well that ain't the problem. but seriously, it's the two recycled DVD multi-burners, they are as noisy as a car with the exhaust pipes and extractors taken off. They work when they like to and couldn't read off a perfect mirror shine media.

    I Just Lost Faith In The Internet

    It sounds like as if Yahtzee himself reviewed The Escapist. But ultimately, the internet always has something to cater for as far as offending every aspect of life the human race has produced. If you like lol cats, look up zippo cat. If you like making love, look up scat porn. If you like to...

    Is technology dominating our lives?

    Well considering my Nokia E72 replaced my netbook and PDA, my biggest question now is which brand of technology will dominate our lives? With all the major players on the field, who will eventually take over as dominate corporate entity? As all major corporations are now labelling small players...

    Good job NPC, good job.

    Forget how many times Oblivion does this in quests, but NPCs that meet an untimely death at the beginning of a seemingly large quest is supposed to install some "Oh gosh, I'm all alone on this one!" feeling into the player. However there are several genuine stupid NPC moments, like NPCs that...

    I want drug users, smokers, alcoholics to explain this to me (seriously)

    Smoking: Peer pressure. Drinking: "Why the hell not?" moment. As for smoking, only when I drink now. But neither are the crown jewel or the necessity of my life. More like a cut loose from home and work moment.
