    Dead Space 4 Cancellation Rumors Are False

    If DS3 does well enough for them to do DS4, why change the current trend with DS3. It should be put to rest before it mutates into something horrible like RE series.

    Hard Drive Shredding/Destruction Service

    Physically destroying the HDDs yourself and probably discarding pieces of it at different locations is probably the best/cheapest way. Unless of course some other party is willing to spend a good amount of money recovering said data if physically recovered then in that case thermite is the only...

    Corsair Vengeance 1300 [Analog Headset] - $39.99

    You should definitely avoid "gamer" headphones and pretty much all headsets for that matter if you want any quality audio. This particular deal seems to be pretty good for how cheap it is compared to the brands you listed, especially if you plan to attach your own mic to it. So if your little...

    What's the best wireless lit keyboard and wireless mouse?

    Can't speak for wireless keyboards but for mice: MX Revolution closely followed by Performance MX, especially if you have big hands.

    Study: Multitasking Hinders Youth Social Skills

    Humans will just evolve with technology; technology will transform how humans communicate. Maybe in the far future, we won't even use speech to communicate. It's an inefficient way of communication in several ways, especially with the language barriers today.

    FBI to Build Social Network Spy App

    People need to understand that whatever they post on their public profile is information open to any and all persons/parties. If some criminal that the FBI would be interested is stupid enough to use Facebook at all, I wouldn't expect them to be free for long.

    Online games besides BF3

    For WWII, try the Forgotten Hope 2 mod for BF2. http://forgottenhope.warumdarum.de/ BF2 will probably be the last good BF game. BF3 could have been decent with mods.

    Piracy -- No longer an excuse imo

    Because video games are the only things they are going to put their money into. As others have said, if they can get it for free by simply searching for a torrent without having to pay, then they will.

    Will mainstream gamers' tastes change?

    The average person doesn't like to be challenged nor do they want to feel failure. Notice how recent games no longer have harsh penalties in comparison to past games. So no, gaming will stay on it's current path to cater to the average in order to maximize profits.

    Grand Theft Auto 5

    The game would be a great success if it goes according to that leak. It's what people have wanted so I guess they've actually listened. I think this new installment will have a perfect balance between "realism" and "fun", or at very least give you the option to make it so with cheats like in...

    EA adds THQ, Capcom, Warner Bros and Interactive to Origin Downloads

    At least all the other programs have an opt-out option. Thankfully we have programs to isolate Origin or VM so it's unable to scan memory/HDDs.

    Me playing Crysis on my GTX 590

    Reminds me of the thread about the guy showing off his skills in Nuketown from COD:BO and how much negativity that got. This one is pointless as I'm sure 1/5 of members here can produce the same or better and most of all no one cares about other people's gameplay.

    BF3 Tweaks and Help Thread

    Anyone use/try Origin in Sandboxie? Anyone know how to fix Battlelog in Firefox not showing pings or maybe change the default browser for Sandboxie without having the purchase the full version of it? Pings show just fine when it's running outside of Sandboxie.

    BF3 Tweaks and Help Thread

    1GB VRAM probably isn't enough for your resolution on High/Ultra settings for textures/etc on the full scale maps. 1280 or so would probably be okay.

    Grand Theft Auto 5

    I love how they simply put "five" in front of the V for those too stupid or too young to know single digit Roman numerals. The design on the V could also work for the "rich and famous" in Hollywood/CA.

    BF3: Worst singleplayer ever?

    As someone who's played all the Battlefield games from 1942, I'm surprised they even started to bother with SP. 1942 and BF2's SP was just LAN with bots. Personally, I'd prefer them not even bother with SP and maybe make more maps/weapons with the extra time/funds.

    What is Your 6950 Overlocked To?

    905/1375 at 1.15v for a modest OC because as you've said, it doesn't make huge difference in FPS but everything adds up. These Cayman cards are really sensitive to temperature. It seemed stable at I believe 915 core with 1.15v after an hour of stress testing but over time I got random crashes...

    To those suggesting to uninstall CAP3, I don't have CF/CAP3. Few others have stuttering without HT/SLI and tried Vsync. Doesn't stutter in SP though.

    6970 stutter

    Getting 2-3s stuttering every 30s-60s or more with 6950 OC'ed/unlocked|2500K in BF3 too. Tried different settings on V2/V3 preview drivers. I guess I'll have to wait for either side to patch it. BF3 beta and BF2 have been working just fine and my hardware is all stable.

    WoW; 4th expansion Mists of Pandaria

    BlizzCon 2011: Buy WoW “Annual Pass,” Get Diablo 3 for Free

    Could be a decent method to keep it's subscribers around for later content patches in case the initial release blows. WoW seems to now be on the other side of the hill going down, so to ensure they keep around 10m subscribers, they need to make deals and change the direction of the game...

    Forgotten Hope 2 mod for BF2. Sadly North Americans seem to not play this anymore except on Saturday so any NA must deal with ~200 ping.

    X79 GIGABYTE G1 Assassin 2 Sneak Peek

    Motherboards with heatsinks that are purposely made to look like certain objects just looks stupid. Rather have the most efficient design without wasting so much space on the board to have a large peice of aluminum resembling a l33t sauce Glock.

    October 16th Will Be Steve Jobs Day in California

    That will definitely be sufficient with 2xAA, might be coming close at 4xAA. At 2560x1600 w/ 2xAA and Ultra settings on Caspian Border, I reached a maximum vRAM usage of ~1930MB vRAM.

    1.5 vs 1.65 for Sandy Bridge

    I believe using 1.65v may degrade the CPU(IMC) over time more than 1.5v as is the case with any voltage upping, but would probably be in a time frame long after you've upgraded your entire system. Maybe this is why Intel voids your CPU warranty if you use 1.65v RAM when they ask for your RAM...
