    What will be your go-to replacement for HardOCP.com

    I've been subscribing to Maximum PC for years - started with Boot. It's a decent magazine (but agree it's a month or two behind).

    Valve reveals its VR Headset

    I'm glad to see a new player. I still haven't entered the VR world - I somehow resisted the urge to purchase a Rift or Vive (so far). Heck, I was at Microcenter a while back and they had an open box Vive with a reduced price. I grabbed it - but decided to put it down and walk away...

    AMD's next Navi GPUs could have the specs (and ray tracing) to beat Nvidia

    I want to believe. Actually, I don't really care who is better. I just know that Nvidia needs competition to spur competition and innovation.

    Digital Foundry Analyzes Google's Stadia Platform

    I bought some AMD around 18 a while back - but it was my initial purchase some not a lot of shares. I was hoping on picking up more as it fell down to 16ish....got that wrong :) I'm still happy to see the nice jump. I'm watching for additional pullbacks. I think AMD might have other good...

    Microsoft Criticizes FCC Broadband Report

    I used to live in a rural area that was about 45 minutes from what a lot of people would call civilization. I punched in my old address - no DSL or anything. Dial up still (!). One of the reasons I had to move.

    Facebook Unveils the Oculus Rift S

    Looks like a decent setup. I still haven't entered the VR world. I'm waiting on a few things: Steam announcement (rumor of their own hardware), Vive updates, and my system is on the edge of being VR capable.

    Atari VCS Is Powered by 14nm AMD Ryzen APU with Radeon Vega Graphics

    The Atari VCS was my first console - I had Combat, Space Invaders and Missile Command. That's all I had for about 3-4 months. Later, Asteroids and Yars Revenge (loved that game) entered my collection. At some point, I got Star Raiders (not as good as the Atari 400/800 version my friend had)...

    Nvidia Skips Ampere at GTC 2019

    Ok, that was really cool. I spent a lot of time playing Quake 2 when it came out (LAN multiplayer).

    3DFX's Unreleased Rampage GPU Lives On in 2019

    I thought the era of 3DFx was an awesome time to be on the PC. I had a Monster 3D then upgraded to two Monster 2's in SLI. (Looking back, I can't remember how I could afford this as I was in college...)

    Obsidian Employee is Remaking Star Wars Dark Forces

    I'd consider replaying a Dark Forces - I remember finishing the game.

    Atari VCS Is Powered by 14nm AMD Ryzen APU with Radeon Vega Graphics

    This device still confuses me. Who is it for?

    Captain Marvel Will Lead the MCU, Kevin Feige Says

    I saw Captain Marvel this weekend with my wife. We both thought it was ok. I thought she was overpowered. I am not versed in the original Captain Marvel comic book stories (except it was a dude, that part doesn't bother me.) I'm looking forward to Endgame - I'd like to see a conclusion...

    Prisoners in England to Be Taught Code

    The company I work for sponsors a program that teaches basic IT skills to low income people (aka inner city). I know one of the skills they focus on is QA testing. A recent success story: a lady went through the program and came out making $15 an hour (not that great where I live). At...

    PC Sales to Decline in 2019 Amid CPU Shortages, Weak GPU Market

    My main system is a 2600k, 16 gb ram, and a 970 GPU. I think it's going on 8 years old? I might upgrade this year - but honestly, I'm not in a hurry and might not get around to it. I mostly play older games or indies (Nuclear Throne, Graveyard Keeper, Stardew Valley etc). Since a lot of the...

    Apple Will Unveil Its Streaming Video Service on March 25

    This market is too crowded. I like having choice - but I only have so much free time I will spend on watching TV (and am only willing to spend a certain amount of money)
