    Marvel Uploads a New Avengers: Endgame Trailer

    Wild how strongly opinionated some people get over these movies. I enjoy them, they are fun. I like the way they all tie together, even if it is predictable in many ways. Captain Marvel was a good movie in the series (MCU), not great but good. The only thing I don't like is how close the...

    The Steam Halloween Sale Is Now Live

    Dying Light, L4D2, and Alan Wake are all fantastic games. EDIT: Oh holy shit, Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines. I recall that game being awesome, gonna have to take a trip down memory lane. As I recall it was actually the first game on the market to use the new Source engine, they even beat...

    Your GPU progression?

    Rift 2 Cancelled

    That article made me sad too. I think it works as clickbait because it is absolutely believable. I can totally see Facebook going that route. You don't need a great high-end experience to turn a profit off ads and tie VR into social media. That Pimax 5k+ though is looking pretty sweet, but...

    Must have VR games?

    Did you get a chance to give it a try? I played on an Oculus CV1 (3rd sensor, touch controllers), and I would be interested in how your experience was.

    8086K multiplier woes

    Thanks to your suggestion, I was able to find and identify the setting. In the ASUS BIOS it is referred to as CPU C-States. Thanks! I enabled it there, then went into Windows and selected the "Balanced" power option, and got the speed throttling via dynamic multiplier. What is odd is that...

    8086K multiplier woes

    Perhaps you can educate me on what I'm missing here. Hardware: ASUS Maximus X Hero (up-to-date firmware) Corsair 3466 DDR4 Intel 8086K Corsair H115i PRO In default settings, the multiplier appears to be locked at 43, as in tests (Prime95, gaming, etc) it never goes much above 4300 Mhz. Now...

    Crysis Benchmark, Steam Version

    Aaaand of course then I figured it out. Had to extract the patch with Universal Extractor (select non-install shield option), and then inside the extracted contents folder extract the CAB file with WinRar, and then copy over all the files inside that extracted files folder to the Bin32 folder.

    Crysis Benchmark, Steam Version

    Hey guys, I cannot get this to work for the life of me. I've seen people benchmarking over the past couple of years with it, so I am assuming it is possible. The best lead I could find suggested that I get the Crysis 1.2 patch, unpack it with winrar, and manually copy the files into the Bin32...

    Motion sickness and ULMB

    Well, I have do have a handful of things that I do to lessen motion sickness. Undoubtedly YMMV. (After writing this I realized I re-touched on some things I previously related, but I expounded on a couple of them as well. Hopefully this is still helpful.) Don't play when your eyes are...
