I find that I'm less inclined to play multiplayer games these days. I started with big FPS titles from UT99 to CoD, but I don't seem to pour as many hours like I used to. Dead Space 2 MP? Fun for like 2 days. Uncharted 2/3? Fantastic, but I got over that after maybe 10 hours. I think a lot of developers are clamoring…

Maybe I'm just really, really hungry... But I had to read this article like 3 times to understand what the purpose of this was. But now I understand. Seems useful!

Awesome photos! I wish I had a nice camera (One day...) otherwise I would've been all over this. As for now, I'll stick to Hipstamatic on my iPhone.

Yet for some reason I can't convince my girlfriend that she needs to play Fallout (For surviving an nuclear war/apocalypse/end of the world disaster) or Resident Evil (Zombie outbreak). When she's getting eaten by a zombie I'll just tell her "You should've logged more hours!"

I like the french fry building. There should be more buildings that resemble food!

That's what I was thinking. Most people will end up calling it "Battle Royale" or "Playstation Battle Royale" anyway. If All-Stars is a series of games it might actually be a good thing for the naming scheme.

I am if the warranty is right. I know people have taken the TV home and a year later they die out... ouch. But it also depends on the price point. Only have $400? Then it maybe be worth it. If you were planning to spend $700-1000 anyway, I'd say the savings isn't that great. I've also seen great deals on refurbs at…

If anyone wants a deal on a TV, it's NOW. I was just at Target and they're clearing all of their display models, seems to be about $200-400 off depending on the set. I might pick one up for our living room soon if they have any left by the time I have some cash.

I can see for these systems above a 1kw would be overkill. Like I said, I was just under the impression that most systems required more juice, 700W-800W. I just remember a lot of people who had SLI or heavy hitting graphics cards were having issues with PSU's under 600W, that's the only reason I assumed a modern 2012…

True, the graphics card will definitely be the most draw for power, but if this tower has more expansion bays you're looking at multiple harddrives, maybe if you upgrade the graphics card in the future it could give you some overhead. I guess it's like 20-30W per harddrive (Don't quote me on that, that's what a quick…

I know, right? Since when is 600W enough for a gaming machine? I was under the impression upwards of 1000W was more standard.

I almost always buy toiletries as Target. They also have cheap produce now (At least here in Southern California). It's kind of a one stop shop. Pick up a game, a tshirt, some fruit, and deodorant. BOOM!

I absolutely agree - Parents who are NOT gamers tend to not understand this. As a major gamer, I hope to pass on gaming to my kids but in an appropriate way. My parents played games every now and then with me when I was younger, but I do remember them blindly purchasing Duke Nukem 3D (The Kill-A-Ton pack!) when I was…

Yeah, no thanks, haha.

That's very true. The VSX821 is not a future proof system although adequate for my needs. I can't imagine your "Average" Joe, as tech savvy as he may be, spending $2000 on a HTS. I even work in audio for a living and I can't afford what I would consider a high end system... Though if I had the money you bet my ass I'd…

I see what you mean in terms of the game respecting your intelligence, I actually liked that, in fact, I may be willing to give it ANOTHER try. It felt very real. It's not that I need my hand held, it's just that I like to know what I'm supposed to do. I'm a big gamer, but I'm not necessarily the kind of person that…

I could never get into it either despite everyone talking positively about it. I even gave it a second go a year later and it still wasn't hitting the spot. The combat was too awkward for me and nothing was ever really clear to me.

Budget system my ass. I just bought a Pioneer VSX 821K for $170, Energy RC Micro speakers for $140, and an Energy ESW C8 Subwoofer (240W) for $170 and this system blows me away - Perfect for a small living room. I debated the whole HTS in a box last year then realized it was an absolute waste of money. I'm going to…

Holy cow. That is hilarious. I always meet in public or have someone with me. I remember going to someones house to bring someone some RAM and they sat there and tested it to make sure it worked (Which made sense) but it was super awkward. And then my girlfriend went to pick up a table once and she was super nervous…

I used to use the Desktop version and it never threaded anything correctly. I realized I became more disorganized and thrown off by using a mail client such as Sparrow rather than just using Gmail in a browser. Thought it would save me that "step" from having to open my browser and load gmail but... Nah.
