Good stuff, Kirk. I really enjoy reading about other people’s build experiences, especially if they’re new to the hobby.  

I’m not a fan of your intake to exhaust fan ratio though, as it seems it would generate negative air pressure (relative to the room). This forces air to creep in through your case’s various nooks…

Ok, but their logo is still ugly as sin, especially when it’s so prominent and gaudy.

Do people who buy into these aesthetics actually exist? Why is “gamer gear” so UGLY? JESUS. 

Someone let me know when a PC laptop has a trackpad that both feels as good and works as good as a Mac’s. I have several gaming laptops. Their trackpads all suck either on feel or on function (essentially palm rejection). I can build a god-rig in a desktop, but FFS - we buy laptops because we need them - not because…

Could somebody round up the marketing idiots who concocted this “thin is in” obsession and allow them access to their device chargers once per day, so they can properly experience the consequences of their stupidity?

The last android phone I used as my daily driver before switching to iOS was the Note 4. I LOVED that thing. The only reason I switched was because my job at the time was heavily focused on mobile apps running exclusively on iOS.

We also had these kickass collectible albums that were sold at pharmacies and other convenience stores. You’d buy card packs that contained various…

No asshole, what we need right now are #thoughtsandprayers

Obviously we need to start arming the 13-year-old girls.

I’ve personally given up on JRPGs :(

It’s still my favorite genre by far, but I simply don’t have the time to play through them. It typically goes like this: start a new game, invest 20 hours, get distracted by life (travel for business for example), forget what the hell I was doing in the game, pick it back up and…

I’m one of those that lost interest in Nintendo with the Wii and WiiU. I suppose I was interested in very different kinds of gaming experiences at the time. I got my fill of weird games with the DS/3DS, so I wanted my home consoles for more robust and cinematic types of games (Uncharted, LoU, FF, Gears of War,…

Porn.

Why don’t we see much King of Fighters coverage on Kotaku? :/
