that is pretty awesome! Going from what i've seen of Overwatch, Titan would have been a beautiful game but going from what I've heard it wouldn't be very different from all the other mmo's

The sound those round shaped flying drones make - almost blew my head off! That is one of the most evil electronic sounds I have ever heard.

For a mediocre film, I thought Oblivion's sound design was awesome.

It's not as though Blizzard needed to go and have their best year ever. But they went ahead and did so anyway. Not only did they continue to kick ass on their home turf with the PC releases of Hearthstone and the much-lauded Warlords of Draenor expansion for World of Warcraft, they brought Hearthstone to the iPad,…

Cool, thank you! My knowledge of eyes and their attendant maladies has just increased basically infinitely (from "essentially zero" to "some").

Personally, I don't really see the need for a smart watch, but some of those designs are quite nice. :) However, I will be waiting patiently for my CST-01 watch.

This promises to be loads of fun for those of us with Social Anxiety Disorder and similar afflictions. I'm stressed out in crowded environments at the best of times, let alone in a busy airport.

CMCA is a great name and all, but I think we should call it the GCWA for "Global Cruise missile Widebody Airframe". And also "Giant Can of Whoop-Ass".

Actually GPU sales are down quite a bit thanks to a lull in new releases, people waiting or Nvidia's new stuff, and the cryptocurrency scene is starting to wind down. It was good for AMD's pocketbook but bad for gamers since it jacked up the prices and inventory considerably.

Reimagined versions of every ship from the classic Wing Commander Universe!

I'm missing the screw driven vehicles:
