Building a computer nets you bigger benefits when you install specialized parts yourself. That usually means big beefy gaming cards or cooler systems, but could mean almost anything. At the bare minimum of functional (e.g. email boxes) you might get a better deal with a big name prebuilt because they can pass along…

Just so you guys know, the bar industry gets really complicated when you talk about freebies and stuff like that. Just like bartenders will give out drinks sometimes, liquor distributors will give out freebies to bars. We usually won't be getting Stoli for a different price than the next guy, but if we double our…

This is quite possibly the most racist post on Kotaku. And the bar was pretty high to begin with. Can you stop posting this kind of needy click bait an talk about things like videogames?

It's not just cheap, but also adds flavor. If you constantly fry the same thing (e.g. pork or chicken) the oils will pick up the flavors of the food and bring more flavor to each successive batch.

Obviously you went to cooking school and understand what ramen is...

I understand that you have to make one of these for every team because page hits, but this one was a hard one, wasn't it?

I bought an X230 specifically because it's small, light, and it has a nub. The trackpad on the X230 is laughably small, so I only use it when I'm in weird positions.

I just can't be arsed to scour TeamLiquid/SRK/MLG all the…

More competitive gaming coverage. Don't do big articles, just highlights, stats, and maybe have someone track who's big and who's not. I want to get back into some games, but it's really hard to keep track of who's good and who to watch. I also think that tracking what competitive gamers use (or even play when they're…

You are great.

So you're not going to comment on how PS+ almost makes the VITA worthwhile? I have a PS3 with PS+, and the everytime they announce free VITA games for the service I put away a few bucks because it'll be worth it eventually.

Ideal PC gaming gear is hard to come by because the gear gets better all the time with a few exceptions. Pretty much the only things that have been solved in terms of PC gaming are interface things like sound and keyboards. I'm not even sure mice have been solved... get a bluetooth adapter for your PS3/Wii controllers…
