Blizzard has not been the same since Vivendi bought it and changed from being a game company to being a money making company. WoW was a great success as a money maker and it influenced everything Blizzard tried to do thereafter. The passion has left their games and they are clueless as to the...
I see this as having a bigger impact on UPS and FedEX than on the USPS. Amazon, UPS and FedEx all already use USPS extensively for the "final mile" because it is by far the cheapest option to get the parcels into the hands of the residential consumer.
Hey, thanks for the answer. It is appreciated. I have spent a little time looking at the game play videos on Youtube. One thing that bothers me a bit is that the graphics look ummm smokey? blurred? flat? One thing that I have noticed about videos from space ie NASA is that the images are very...
I have been curious about it. A lot of my gamer friends from MWLL were planning to move to SC but it has taken so long in development that I am not sure what their status is anymore. I have thought about grabbing one of the $45 starter packages just to be on board in case the game takes off and...
FedEx Ground tends to be the cheapest shipping method for bulky items that do not weigh a lot.
Shipping has gotten much more expensive in the last few years. USPS used to be the least expensive by far but a very successful lobby by UPS and FedEx has put an end to that.
Now, you really...
You almost always have to pay return shipping. However, the restocking fee is usually only applied when you return a working product, not a defective one. He should raise hell about that and I think if he really tries then he will get that waived.
Bought one to upgrade from my 2 X GTX 275 SLI on my I7 system. I got antsy about finding a lower GTX 970 price on BF and risking missing this price. Now, I will just hope for the best.
I have read mixed reviews on Zotac. The European sites tend to write them up as a small but premium brand while the US sites seem to think of them is slightly inferior to EVGA, MSI, ASUS and Gigabyte. I noticed they offer a 2 year warranty compared to 3 years for some of the others. I am tempted...
I am against botting and those programmers who develop them but lets face it, Diablo 3 and the Diablo franchise was ruined by Blizzard and their attempts to monetize it and virtually every other game they make. They cost themselves more money in doing so than all the bot programs in the world...
I find the kickstarter and crowd funded games with early access to be more satisfying. In most cases, the alpha versions of those are less buggie than the final versions of the big name publishers ie EA, Ubisoft, Activision, Blizzard, etc. Besides that, the indie developers actually listen to...
I was a huge Diablo 2 fan that was sorely disappointed with what Blizzard and Jay Wilson did to Diablo 3. I picked up GD a couple weeks ago and started playing it last weekend. I am having fun and I am impressed with the polish of this game that is still pre-beta. It is a great hack and slash...
I played D2 for well over 6 years. I never bought D3. I played someone else's game for for a couple hours before proclaiming it "not DIABLO" Yes, I was one of those old hardcore D2 types that cursed Jay Wilson and Blizzard for ruining "my" game.
If they ever put player trading and the economy...
I definitely want to try a WC rig and the reviews I have read on the 620 have said it is the best self contained unit out there. I would love to be one of the ones picked to evaluate the new 920 on my OC I7 950.
While I think the PC version is more "lifelike" and detailed with better lighting I think the XBox version would be more easily playable duye to those very reason. There is something to be said to "dumbing" down the game for console players. It makes the game easier to play even if it is just in...
Somebody needs to smack those designers up along the side of their heads. Come on GM, look around. The SMART car is one of the stranger looking cars on the road today and no one except the truly eccentric buys one of those. Next to that thing your designers drew the SMART car is a 1963 Impala...
Nada. I just restarted the computer.
But I do want that Galaxy card!

Thanks for the review. I have always bought Gigabyte but when the GA-X58-USB3 wouldn't recognize the full 6GB of RAM and was traced to the middle memory slot being bad, I RMAed that board and decided to pay $20 more and try the Sabertooth. I am glad I did as it was one of the easiest builds I...
I was a letter carrier and have been a Postmaster for 22 years. Although I never tossed a package in the snow nor would I condone one of my carriers doing so, I will admit there were times when I would have liked to. You come to a house and they have their driveway cleared and a nice walk for...
I like to save money just like everyone else. More than once, I have checked Hot Deals and found a great deal on a component that I needed for a build. I always check here first to see if someone has found what I need for cheap! Now please give me that Galaxy card because free is the Hottest...
Gotta love a story which describes the "experts" of the world scratching their heads and saying "Wow". But if the worm is really as effective as indicated then where does that leave the world if it (or something like it) is used to target the control systems of a nuclear power plant in a highly...
Galaxy,
Now you are getting to the stuff that I cannot live without. I have to win one of these top notch cards of yours. If I win the 460 I will even immediately buy another one from you so I can go SLI. How is that for a deal?
Uh, do not like FPS. Last one I played was Unreal (the original)...
There are a lot of games. But a lot of "GREAT" games? Maybe if you enjoy FPS or WoW. What I want to see is one GREAT RPG with multi-player or co-op that is actually finished when released and not thrown out into the world half baked so that it loses most of its fan base before it is actually any...
Gigabyte boards go into 90% of all my builds. I have had the best luck with them. Much better than any other brand. I would love to actually get one just once without paying for it. By the way, you still owe me my rebate on the last one I bought!
That 880 coupled with a new 1090T six core...
I bought one to run my OS and the 2-3 games that I normally play. For $20 more I could have got a SSD that would hold the OS and maybe one of the games. I will wait for the SSDs to come down another 50% in price and then I will "modernize".
I bit on the bundle deal:
i7 950 CPU and Gigabyte GA-X58-USB3 for $369 minus $30 in rebates.
Also snagged a new PSU to go into a CM HAF922. This will be the new home to my GTX275s in SLI.
Replacing Q6600 G0 @ 3.2 on a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P running a single GTX275. I am hoping to see a...
