    FS: 5 Google Wifi pucks - $275 + shipping

    I'm selling five google wifi pucks (1st gen) for $275 plus shipping (happy to work with whatever shipping you'd prefer). They all work great, I just don't have a need for them any longer. I'd like to sell them as a group, but could entertain a smaller number for $75 a unit. I don't sell that...

    Looking for a new rogue-lite

    I love rogue-lite and rogue-like games like Rogue Legacy, Nuclear Throne, Binding of Isaac, and FTL. Darkest Dungeon is pretty great also. Spelunky and Enter the Gungeon are alright (I'm not sure why they didn't click with me in the same way as the others), and while I love the general combat...

    Defense Grid 1 and 2

    I really enjoy tower defense games but somehow missed Defense Grid. What I'd like to know from those who have played it is whether I should skip the first and start on the second (particularly since many of the sequels in this genre repeat old levels), or if the first is still worthwhile playing?

    Console rental

    Hi All I'm a PC gamer through and through, but there are usually one or two console exclusives each generation which have me pining for a console. I really don't like fiddling with a controller (sorry guys, nothing personal), and I can't see myself using the console enough to justify a...

    LG G Pad GPE

    Hi All - I'm in the market for an 8 inch android tablet, and am very strict that the device needs to be of the Nexus flavor. I've only owned Nexus devices (both phone and tablet), and have a severe allergy to manufacturer skins. The LG G Pad GPE seems to tick all the right boxes, but...

    Forza/GT on PC - could it ever happen?

    I'm a huge racing fan and car guy, but also exclusively a PC gamer. There really aren't any comparable "car collection" games on PC, and I have to imagine I'm not the only one that would buy either Forza or GT day one were it to appear on PC. The flippant response to the question in the...

    Best pc->TV device (for a parent)

    Hi All I often download things for my father to watch on his PC (things like F1 races, or documentaries), and he has expressed the desire to watch these programs on his TV instead. I'd like to get him a streaming device so he can easily watch items from his PC on the TV with minimal hassle...

    Friend who is returning to PC gaming...

    I've got a friend who is returning to PC gaming after ~3-5 years solely using a mac. I just built him a solid gaming rig with a 670, so he's got enough horsepower to run anything today. Currently he plays WoW, and has played the other Blizzard titles as well, but wants to expand and try other...

    Considering a Galaxy Nexus

    I'm pondering a decision and wanted to see what you all thought. Currently I'm on a Nexus One via T-Mobile, and will stay with that carrier for a variety of reasons. My N1 is getting quite long in the tooth, and I'd like to stick with a smartphone for my next purchase. My options are limited...

    Hitman Blood Money - worth playing now?

    Seeing all the media for Absolution is making me think of playing Blood Money. I played it briefly around the time it came out, but haven't touched it since - is it a game worth revisiting? Does it hold up well enough gameplay-wise? :confused:

    120hz IPS?

    I'm torn between the U2410 and the LP2475W, but to make matters worse the allure of the Asus 120hz TN display is difficult to ignore (reading the Anand review makes me feel like a dinosaur considering a 60hz display, considering I'm looking to game on it too). Cost isn't a factor in this...

    Pondering new build

    Hi All The current main rig in my sig is getting a bit long in the tooth with newer titles like The Witcher 2 beginning to strain things. It's "about that time" for a new build, but since I've had so little time to keep up with things I'd like to get some feedback/thoughts on my current parts...

    20WMGX2 replacement?

    First off, I love this monitor - but it is kinda small.. That's why I'm looking for some help from [H]. The resolution (1680x1050) and aspect ratio (16:10) has been great for me as I never really have to worry about pushing many pixels, so for a replacement it would be good to stick with the...

    Steam for regular applications?

    I'm not totally sure this belongs here, but since it relates to backups I figured this is likely it. Has anyone found a program like Steam, but instead of just games it has 'regular' applications? The reason I say this is because in Steam all of your games and (if it's a newer title) their...

    Alienware M11x R2 - Any other options?

    I'm looking for an 11 or 12in notebook that I can game with (and has a great battery) - so far, all I can find is the M11x. Don't get me wrong, it seems to tick all the boxes, but is that really the only option? Are there other gaming notebooks at that screen size?

    Must-have android apps for rooted phones

    Hi everybody, just a followup to my thread about the cyanogenmod: I'm wondering what everyone considers to be must-have apps for a rooted android phone (in my case the Nexus One). I just installed the cyanogenmod along with the wifi/usb tethering application and am quite enjoying it. I wonder...

    Cyanogenmod - Nexus One

    I'm looking to possibly install the Cyanogenmod on my Nexus One this weekend, I just wanted to know if there is any real performance difference between the stock ROM and the latest Cyanogenmod? Also, other than setcpu (which I know a lot of people like here), what other root-only apps are worth...

    Android Swype

    Zombie Driver

    Has anyone heard of this title? Trailer is here. Looks a bit like an old-school Carmageddon/GTA crossover...piqued my interest, and given that it's $9 on steam, an easy impulse buy! I'm interested whether anyone else has heard about this title or perhaps has any more information about it...

    Double-duty headphones

    Let me cut to the chase and manage expectations: I'm not an audiophile, but I like my audio to sound good. I have Klipsch 2.1s on my computer, and I like the way they sound. My issue is that I need a good set of portable headphones that can do double-duty by working well for a session of...

    Saints Row 2 Stutter

    I recently picked up SR2 for my main rig (specs in sig), and have a fair amount of stuttering, mostly when I drive quickly into new areas. It's as though it's having trouble streaming data. A quick google reveals that this is an very common problem. I'm running the Steam version, and have the...

    Far Cry 2 Input Lag

    Hi all, I realized a few days ago that I never did get very far in Far Cry 2, simply because I got so fed up with the input lag issue. I know there were some "tricks" which helped things (like lowering your settings, or using the maxfps console command to cap your framerate), but they only...

    Windows 7 Netbook Performance

    Hi all, just thought I'd give some quick thoughts on my fresh copy of Windows 7 RC 1 installed on my Lenovo S10 netbook (w/2GB of RAM), just in case others are looking for impressions on a low powered PC. So far the only comparisons I've read were about Vista vs. Windows 7, and on a netbook...

    PDF Watermarking

    Hi everyone, I've got a relatively simple question to pose. Currently I implement a watermark on the research documents we provide to our customers. This watermark is the client name, and it appears at the very top, bottom, and diagonally across the middle (faded a bit, so that it doesn't...

    Penryn Build

    Hi Guys- Many of you know my straight up AMD bias, but I'm not one to overlook facts. So that means come Feb/Mar I'll be picking up a Q9450 and moving the build in my sig (sans Ultra) into an HTPC case for home theater duties. However, I have been out of the Intel loop for a long time, so I'm...

    ~$250 Watercooling Setup

    Alright, I was originally considering going with either the Nautilus 500 or H20-120 Premium from Swiftech, but now I believe that the best choice would be to build a custom setup from the ground up. Here are the parts I've selected so far, all gathered from my research: This totals...

    Swiftech H20-120 Premium

    I've been looking at this kit (the most recent revision which features an Apogee waterblock) mainly because my next build is coming up in November and I want to take the plunge (har har) into watercooling. My objective is to gain a little bit more temperature headroom over the air solutions I'm...

    Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 or GMX A-2.1?

    I'm looking for a good set of speakers that will be used for gaming, listening to music, and watching movies. I have owned the Promedia 2.1s before (and loved them), but now that I have sold my last system I'm presented with the new (and equally priced) GMX A-2.1 system. Are there any obvious...

    Gaming Build

    This is a potential AMD-based build. Intel based parts can be substituted for the processor and motherboard within the same $ envelope, so either way that part of the setup isn't a big deal. This rig will be hooked up to a NEC 20WMGX2, and I'll be waiting until November to build according to the...

    20' widescreen gaming LCD for a CRT lover

    I'm looking to find a 20 inch widescreen LCD that provides the best possible gaming and video watching experience (I'm assuming at this point that just about all semi-capable LCDs provide decent text...). My biggest issue is how much I dislike LCDs as compared to CRTs. Up until this point, I...

    AMD Phenom @ Canadian GP

    SSX: Blur -- Wii

    Does anyone know if there are reliable (not that gamedaily/AOL one) reviews available for SSX: Blur? I'm just surprised there don't seem to be any available a day before the game's release, and I'm damn excited for the title (mainly because I remember how much I loved 1080 Snowboarding for the N64).

    $50-$100 to spend on headphones for an Ipod

    So this is my dilemma: My girlfriend wants a good set of headphones, not cans or anything over-the-head (she doesn't want anything messing up her hair :rolleyes: ). They must also be relatively comfortable. I was thinking earbuds, and I've read a fair amount about the Altec Lansing IM716. Are...
