    How Blizzard Turned A Costly Failure Into Overwatch

    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...

    Amazon Reportedly Building Overnight Airfreight Operation, Leasing Boeing 767s

    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.

    Star Citizen Nears $100M

    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...

    Star Citizen Nears $100M

    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...

    USPS and UPS shipping rip off

    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...

    evga b stock 970 gtx 259 , 980 369

    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.

    ZOTAC GeForce GTX 970 + FREE game and ship - $249.99

    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.

    ZOTAC GeForce GTX 970 + FREE game and ship - $249.99

    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...

    Blizzard Sues Bot Maker For Copyright Infringement

    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...

    Why Are So Many Video Games Broken At Launch?

    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...

    Grim Dawn Alpha starts tomorrow

    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...

    Diablo 3 Discussion Thread

    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...

    Crysis 2 Graphics: PC Vs. Xbox 360

    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...

    General Motors EN-V Concept Car

    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...

    ASUS Sabertooth X58 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    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...

    Stuxnet: Cyber Missile That Crippled Iran's Nuke Program

    Gotta love a story which describes the "experts" of the world scratching their heads and saying "Wow".

    There Are Too Many Games

    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...

    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".
