I was more basing my opinion on word-of-mouth and benchmarks of the 1st-party AMD R9 cards. I didn't know too much about the 3rd party makes that much, so it's good to know some people are picking up the slack where AMD struggles the most. What's the average temps on that card? I'm curious.

I'm gonna make a bit of a counter-vote to this one. The R9 series is pretty notorious already for running quite hot ( > 85 degrees under a full load, some reports have said as much as 95 degrees and up) and the fans on them are stupidly loud. A hot-running GPU won't last too long, and AMD is known for making GPUs…

Dear DC Comics: Use this design, paint it black with yellow highlights on certain body panels and give this shit to Batman.

I think it was because TDKR did SO MUCH differently with Batman that Conroy or Hammil didn't like Frank Miller's angle on it. I kind of liked the much more brutal, grizzled Batman in that, but Joker to me was still very predictable in that story. I mean, he still did his usual bag of tricks (laughing gas in a…

Tune: Windowlicker (Above is the full video as a short film. Obviously incredibly NSFW.)

Must-watch series (IMO):

John Force described a Funny Car's engine once as "When you get off the line, it roars. At about 600 feet out, it really starts to scream." This perfectly fits the sound the BRM V-16. Sounds like a flame-spitting V-8 for about the first 6,000 RPMs, but then once you cross 8,000 RPMs it sounds like a totally…

It feels almost just like a PS2's D-pad. It's great for fighters and the like.

Razer Sabertooth:

Diablo III I almost wouldn't call a copy cat because it's not quite in the same genre that Diablo II "established" because it changed so much. DIII is not a bad game, not by a long shot, but it certainly could be better. I still enjoy my time with Diablo III because it still instills that great essence from DII in…

Diablo II & Diablo II: Lord of Destruction (released on June 29, 2000 and June 27, 2001 respectively)

Why is it 90% of the time when car companies show off these wicked, almost over-styled concepts that border on tacky but look like something from a videogame, they completely neuter the street version of the car? I love the stretched fenders on this rendering and I hope the legit Sport-Quattro we (may) get looks…

Does Andrea Zagato live in Maryland or something? I noticed his Alfa has MD historic plates on it. Would be pretty interesting to learn it's true.

Beer's job is to be a critic, it's just his "persona" is that he's more harsh than most. Don't you think Phil could've gotten a clue when someone called "The Annoyed Gamer" started calling him out in a rather scathing manner?

Beer in particular did heckle Fish for a response, but I do think Phil should've handled himself better. He didn't need to say "Screw it, I quit." or any of this unnecessary bullshit. He should've just said "I don't agree with you, so why don't we agree to disagree?" and be none the wiser. Instead, Phil thought he…

This is what irks me so much about some immature game developers these days, looking at you Fish. As an artist, criticisms are not only a constant, I believe they are mandatory. You always must be willing to face good and bad critical responses in everything you do or say because it reflects on you as a whole. If…

The Onza honestly just was a piece of over-engineered junk, anyway. The spring resistors on the analog sticks broke the tilt sensitivity on 2 Onzas I owned previously and the right stick would randomly drift off to the left or right and never stay dead center. The Sabertooth, IMO, is a country mile better. There's…

This is mainstream cool, but I'm going to counter with the ultimate "Luxury PC". I give you, the Murderbox Mk. II: http://www.murderbox.com/

This is most definitely a DIRT announcement. The car in the picture is Colin McRae's Ford Focus RS from his last years in WRC.

I was going to nominate Webber and Vettel's duel on the track from Malaysia this year, but someone beat me to it. So here's my personal vote:
