I am beginning to notice a frightening trend when playing games ("realistic" PC shooters, specifically) online. It seems that the already huge population of people who derive the majority of their kills through randomly throwing of grenades is growing. On the tactical side, a grenade should...

Hey guys- I've been out of the technological loop since about mid-January, at which point a I finished building the system described in my signature. Has anything truly monumental or at least notable happened since then?

Thanks for taking the time to review this post. I am currently building a budget gaming rig, and eventually plan to purchase and HD3850 for it, but am presently unable to do so because of a limited budget. I was wondering if there were any video cards (keyword: decent) that you would recommend...

Looking for a mid-range video card to accompany an Intel E4500 budget gaming build. DX10 is not necessary because I do not plan on crossing over to Vista quite yet. All other components are priced out, leaving just about a $130 margin for a average video card. I've heard some decent things...
