    Electronic Arts Now Offers Annual Membership to Origin Access for $30

    Different strokes. I own both as well, and quite enjoyed both! Catalyst is the only game in the past year that I made a point to carve out time to play all the way through; glad I did. Love the soundtracks, too!

    Prepare For The Great American Total Solar Eclipse

    Congressional IT Desk Warns Representatives Of Ransomware Threats

    I immediately had a mental image of this "technology service desk:" one person, frantically trying to plug holes in a dam.

    James Cameron Making Four Avatar Sequels

    The only reason I watched Avatar a second time was for the extended, 'racier' alien sex sequence on the blu-ray release. It did not deliver.

    Amazon Shipping Has Gotten Slower For Non-Prime Members

    Subscribe & Save has worked great for us in that regard. Between kitchen, house, and pet supplies we easily have 5 items a month, which gets us 15% off our order (on top of the S&S price).

    Amazon Shipping Has Gotten Slower For Non-Prime Members

    YMMV, of course. Transparent and Man in the High Castle have been worth the cost, not to mention the Prime shipping (we do get 2-day in our area), and Prime music which has been very useful for both my wife and me. We feel it's a great value for what we receive. That said, I think it's shady...

    Canceled. I contacted them via eBay after I received the email, since the order hasn't been canceled on there.

    Tripp Lite 6 Outlet Surge Suppressor - 6ft Cable $3.59 shipped

    I grabbed a couple; seems like we're always needing another power strip, or one with a longer cable, at home. Thanks for the heads-up, OP!

    Amazon Prime Is Just $73 This Weekend

    It comes in quite handy if for last-minute gifts (birthdays, holidays, etc). We definitely see the value in the faster shipping throughout the year. Beyond that, we use Prime Video and Music on nearly a daily basis. Video alone (especially with their quality original content) adds enough...

    Your favorite intro to a game....

    Agreed. Until then, there's this I guess: http://www.heavygear.com/ I want to write a film or TV series based on the universe. I have some ideas; haven't given up on it yet.

    Your favorite intro to a game....

    Not sure if I'd call it my favorite, but the first that came to mind. It's stuck with me since the first time I saw it back in...97? Heavy Gear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJ6v934-KR4

    Wait, wait...not just Tribes, but the preceding Earthsiege games as well! I played Earthsiege/Earthsiege 2 before MechWarrior. My first introduction to mech combat!

    Need for Speed Rivals PC

    Nothing since the Ferrari key. Despite typically being a man of principle, I spent a little over $5. Not worth the time and effort for me to fight it. I got something, at least.

    Just the Ferrari DLC key so far. I did get the shipping notice about 10 days ago.

    Need for Speed Rivals PC

    I received the email containing the code, as others above. It redeemed for the 'Need for Speed Rivals Ferrari Edizioni Speciali Complete Pack,' containing two car models with a racer and cop version of each. No shipping email yet.

    55" LG 55EC9300 1080p Smart 3D Curved OLED HDTV $1999.99 with free shipping

    I'm tempted by this but the CNet review noted that OLED is still prone to burn-in. I've really enjoyed my Samsung plasma but it only needs a few minutes on the morning news for the chyron to ghost for a good 20 minutes afterward. Their note that an hour at 4:3 can cause burn-in (they implied...

    Need for Speed Rivals PC

    Thanks OP! We have a Target card so without the shipping costs it is a pretty good deal. And good suggestion, Armenius.

    HP Stream 7 Signature Edition Tablet - $79

    Not trying to thread-jack but it seemed relevent: I returned the Stream7 for this WinBook (MicroCenter brand), mainly for the 2GB RAM. http://www.microcenter.com/product/437499/TW801_Tablet_-_Black It's on clearance at $99 (the TW802 [$120] actually drops the USB 3.0 port for USB 2.0) so stock...

    Star Wars Humble Bundle

    You know, I didn't enjoy Unleashed 2 as much as the original (it was far too short, for one thing) but I didn't hate it, either. I think it's worth the play-through.

    This Is Not An Oculus Killer

    My theories: A) The booth was set up by Oculus themselves, to make Oculus look better in comparison B) They are guerilla-shooting a scene for an indie film, in which competition in the cut-throat technology startup market is integral to the plot. C) Bros lost a bet to their CS professor last...

    Halo 3 1080p Gameplay Footage

    Maybe it has been too long since I played it, but I didn't see much difference here from the original Halo 3 release. I may also be biased as Halo 3 is my least favorite Halo game, right behind Halo 4. I really dug Reach and ODST.

    IKEA's New Ad Is Pretty Clever

    I think my wife is more excited for September 10th than she was for our daughter to be born. We're talking people-in-line-for-Phantom-Menace-before-they-knew-the-truth excited.
