    Thinking of building myself a computer - any advice?

    Ok so i decided to switch to the i5-2500K with a Cooler Master Hyper212 Evo for cooling. Also, I realise that 4Tb is a massive amount of storage, it's just that getting a 2 500Gb to put in raid only costs marginally less, so I went for the obscene amount for just a fraction of the price more...

    Thinking of building myself a computer - any advice?

    So basically I swap out the i5-3550 for an i5-2500K, and add replace the stock cooling with... what? I have absolutely no idea what to look for in CPU cooling. I originally tought to avoid having an SSD by using the spinpoints in RAID0 (almost double the access speeds in that configuration...

    Thinking of building myself a computer - any advice?

    Ok so I finally decided to try myself at building my own PC as opposed to buying a pre built one, since it's my first time I figured I'd go ahead and have my design looked over by "the community" to spot any blatant oversights on my part before going ahead and dropping the cash. So here it...

    Titan's "Tropical Lake" Excites Scientists

    If I recall correctly the fuel in shogo wasn't all that intelligent. It was alive, sure, but comparable to algae regarding intelligence.

    Blizzard account hacked for the 6th time

    I found the IP checks blizzard does to be rather overzealous. I travel weekly between 2 countries, and whenever I'd log in on the same day from the 2, I'd get an email saying my account got hacked. I get that this is a great way to stop hackers, but I had to change my password weekly because of...

    Poll: What is/was your favourite "era" of WoW

    Vanilla, when epics were truly epic, and raiding felt like you were making a huge undertaking to bring down a dragon with a fuckton of people all performing their task like a well oiled machine. (compare the complexity of managing and organizing a 40 man raid to current 10 or even 25 mans)...

    Poll: Why do gamers discriminate other gamers???

    Sounds like that community in question was made up out of twats. Lots of gaming communities are filled with similar juviniles. 12 year olds screaming over XBOX Live come to mind. It all comes down to 'whatever-it's called' s law (can't remember the name, its a PA comic) that the internet makes...

    Could you guys fill in a quick thing for my Sociology homework? (No links required)

    No N/A No Yes Yes No N/A No Religious I'll elaborate, especially on 4 and 5. 4) Religion is, at its roots, a way to teach people morality. Different religions do it in different ways, and most have grown to be much more, but at it's core, it's all about morality. Teaching kids...

    World of Warcraft these days

    To be honest, Ive been playing for a pretty long time now, and only managed to ever get 2 characters up to lvl 70. I never bothered picking up wotlk, and didn't bother with cata either. That said, I'm having tons of fun with my twink guild running the old TBC raids, and pvping in a scene where...

    Greek Island Angry at Portrayal in Videogames

    I get that they're trying to keep out their island of a violent videogame, as it could very well hurt tourism. I wonder who gave Bohemia the permission to recreate an actual island instead of a fictional...

    Valve Working With Modders to Create New Global Offensive Modes

    So did everyone forget that we already had GunGame in CS1.6? Or is CS1.6 something we don't mention anymore because the kids won't know what we're talking about if we do?

    Violence Overshadows In-game Ads

    Or even better, a high speed racing game, where you're avoiding crashing into various stuff, maybe including billboards with said ads on them.

    Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Stays True to the Source

    Well, CS didn't need any physics, it just made the game worse when they added them IMO (try standing behind the barrels below at T spawn in Dust2, in CS:S due to the junk on the floor in that area this was nearly impossible). As for the stats they juggled around, they seem to have just made...
