    Farewell, Android Pay. We Hardly Tapped You

    I literally only use it when there are incentives by my credit card company to do so such as cash back bonus or statement credit. I can see it being handy to pay for stuff if you forget your wallet though. Using a credit card is generally slightly faster and easier.

    R9 Fury 4gb $240AR

    I've had good experiences too with crossfire and I'm even using 2x 7970 still going strong. Most major titles support crossfire and if they don't you likely don't need it to drive to high settings anyhow.

    40" Samsung UN40KU6290 4K $290 at Best Buy (or $265 with $25/$200 Amex offer)

    I bought this and tried to use as a PC monitor (coming from a Auria 27" 1440p monitor). Using it as a workspace was fairly nice and looked really good at 4k after adjusting the icon sizing in Windows to be close to what I was coming from at 27"/1440p. However, for gaming, I felt the image...

    Microcenter:Free MSI Z97 Gaming 5 after $10 rebate with purchase of intel CPU!!

    Picked up a bundle @ MC in Mayfield Heights as well last week, thanks op. Sale rep said they knew it was a mis-print but were honoring the price. Also stacked with that retailmenot 10 off 50 coupon code. I asked about replacement insurance direct from Microcenter but they said it would only...

    Three Senior Executives To Leave AMD

    Not really a good sign that three of them are leaving at the same time. Still rooting for AMD to stay competitive. Big fan of their cost vs performance.

    Grand Theft Auto V Delayed On PC

    I will pick this up when it's 80% off. Still haven't even finished Episodes from Liberty City.

    7970 cf vs 290x

    I'm running 7970 CFX @ 1440p and don't have many problems running it. I think some people tend to exaggerate the effort involved to run CFX. Most games that require the graphics power of a single 7970 will support CFX, and lower resolution games that don't need CFX in the first place won't be...

    Yep, the game is fun again, I started playing again a few days ago after writing it off from the past.

    I hate you, Tigerdirect.

    I've had mostly a positive experience with them. I've gotten some very good deals (and some FAR items). Any direct rebates I've done with them have been processed very quickly (4x as fast as Newegg direct rebates). However, their customer service is lacking. Near BF 2013, I ordered a...

    Tomb Raider Finally Hits Profitability

    Really fun game, visually stunning and enjoyable combat, good plot so far. Glad to see they hit profit, well deserved.

    HP Brings Back Windows 7 'By Popular Demand'

    Windows 8 is a good to great OS after installing Classic Shell. I alternate between metro UI and the desktop and I actually enjoy having the flexibility of both interfaces. Obviously, not everyone feels the same way :)

    [H]ot - Hotline Miami - $2.49

    As someone who doesn't play a lot of indie games, I really enjoyed this one, challenging, frustrating, but you feel good once you finally beat some of the tougher levels. Though, I'm still not sure how my 7970 was able to handle this game, so demanding :).

    The Darkness II at Microsoft Store - $2.99 + FS

    I think it's also activates on Steam, so you can just get the code from the box then toss it.
