That's why one builds a gaming PC right? For the chicks?...

I murdered so many innocent AA batteries thanks to Super Mario Land 2. That game was so good. The original Kirby also ate large chunks of my childhood. What a great kinda-little system that was.

Nice write up Mike! I've been wondering about 4k PC gaming and what that would entail. Looks like I'll be waiting a year or two before upgrading. Not that I mind, I mean, this is pretty awesome to game with.

Do we really expect any better from Activision? I'm surpried the PR team didn't just send you back a JPEG of them all giving you the finger, captioned with "Please share with your readers and anyone else that has played, seen, or heard of our games."

I think someone found a way to extract the animations and apply them to any telltale character model, regardless of game. Probably anything running the same engine as TWD/TWAU.

LOL, +1.

None of us will, soldier. Sonic '06 is hell. The only good to come of it was that it made us stronger.

If only we had known sooner. So many innocent lives...

I personally give the nod to 3 as SMW seemed like a expanded/more polished version of it. Still a very very close 2nd in my book.

Ugh, I've had to explain this so many times. You blow into the cartridge with your MOUTH. Mouth, people. Not ass.

Value is in the eye of the beholder. Considering all the hours I've sunk into the game over the years, not to mention the influence it has on my own game design, I could've paid $1,000 for it and been happy with that. One mans trash and all that...

No, you have the best problem. There is no such thing as "too much SMB3."

And, once again, SNES wins.

... Still not as terrifying as Sonic '06. I'd watch hours of furry twerking before touching that awful mess again.

Heh, someone figured out a way to trigger animations at will in the telltale games. The lack of reaction from the other characters puts it over the top. Here's a similar one from TWAU.

I hope this version has sexy dance parties too.

Ah, don't be afraid. The fx 83xx are great for overclocking. Either your buddy went for a VERY aggressive OC, or the motherboard was of low quality and didn't have proper heatsinks on the vrms. A decent quality board should have a little heatsink between the CPU socket and the USB/IO panel, covering the vrms and…

Right, when it comes to Intel their pricing has always been a bit silly. Yes, in single core tests they are better than the amd chips. If you have the spare cash and need top of the line performance, intel is the way to go. If you're a reasonable human being and use your computer for things other than gaming though,…

Woah woah woah, low settings? Aside from the really harsh ones like Crysis 3, Arma, etc., you'll get medium at the very least. I'll admit, it is mediocre when talking about high performance gaming, but for a budget build its sufficient. When I use it I usually go for high or more and get over 30fps, which for a budget…
