    3 Things That Have Made Gaming Social Media More Toxic

    I agree with this article 100%, and yet this very [H] news feed regularly links to the most toxic of all of the gaming "news" websites.

    Is the Moto X right for me?

    This is only somewhat related, but I didn't want to make a new thread. Is there a way I can test T-mobile's service on my Samsung Galaxy S2? I would have to get AT&T to unlock my phone first, which wipes it clean, correct? Then I would go get a T-mobile sim card and a prepaid plan for one...

    Is the Moto X right for me?

    Okay, since Verizon is a total bust, I'm thinking of getting a Nexus 5 and trying the $30/month T-mobile prepaid plan. If the coverage is awful in my area, then I'll switch to AT&T prepaid with the Nexus 5 and hope for the best. Any unforeseen problems with this strategy? Also, how easy will...

    Is the Moto X right for me?

    You can't use 4g phones at all with Verizon prepaid? Or you just don't get 4g speeds? God damn, why does this have to be so difficult. Edit: So you can't use 4g phones on Verizon's prepaid at all. Then what the hell is the point of there being an unlocked Verizon-only Moto X?

    Is the Moto X right for me?

    I've been wanting to upgrade my phone for a long time now. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 on a grandfathered plan with AT&T that has unlimited data. The problem is that the signal strength is so terrible where I live, that unlimited data is pretty much useless. My phone barely functions at home and...

    Crashing in Battlefield 3 - Asus GTX 670 TOP

    Been playing a lot lately, and I haven't had a single crash on the older drivers, but I do get annoying stutter with them, especially on Aftermath maps. So why would WHQL drivers be so unstable?

    Does the Logitech G400 cord snag?

    I have both the G500 and G400, so I can give a little comparison... -I would say that the braided cord of the G500 is a little more apt to snag, but it's not a big problem for either mouse. -The G500 makes a high-pitched squealing sound, the G400 is silent. -The G400 has a "perfect"...

    Crashing in Battlefield 3 - Asus GTX 670 TOP

    Still testing the older drivers, though I haven't had much time to play the past few days. I would not be surprised if it crashes again soon. The reason why I figure it's the video card is because googling the issue and checking the battlelog forums comes up with a lot of other people...

    Crashing in Battlefield 3 - Asus GTX 670 TOP

    Nope. Windows 7 64-bit, and just the monitor in my signature. The GTX 670 comes factory overlocked, and my 870 CPU is at 4ghz with hyperthreading off.

    Crashing in Battlefield 3 - Asus GTX 670 TOP

    Like the title says, I'm getting crashes to the desktop every so often in BF3 multiplayer, and it's becoming extremely annoying. I'll be playing the game, then the screen freezes for a second, turns black for a couple seconds, then I'm looking at my desktop, with the BF3 icon still there. My...

    Mechanical Keyboard Guide

    I just got a Logitech G510, and it seems to already have the same problem that my pair of G15s developed over the years: The left shift key isn't sensitive enough. When I'm sprinting in first person shooters, I'll suddenly start walking unless I press down much harder than I'd like. So I'm...

    Far Cry 3 E3 Demo vs retail. We got shafted

    Far Cry 3 E3 Demo vs retail. We got shafted

    But if you turned the settings down in Crysis, it looked terrible (much worse than Call of Duty), and still ran terrible as well. Shouldn't that be considered unoptimized?

    The [H] TOTY Award Thread

    You may have spoken too soon, what with this last minute entry, War Z. It appears to be an even more blatant money grab than Diablo III, and without any gameplay whatsoever to back it up. I might have to change my vote!

    Google Sheltering $10B In Bermuda

    Romney said he wanted Roe v Wade overturned. If he had won the election, it would be perfectly reasonable to think that he would get to appoint a justice or two during his term(s), enough to tip the scales in his favor. It's in the Republican platform that they want abortion banned. Please don't...

    No, I did not. I said you could argue that it's too strong a word. Please read more carefully. Those networks don't contribute millions of dollars to the Democratic party like Fox's parent company did to the Republican party. 1. They want to make abortion illegal 2. Transvaginal...

    Google Sheltering $10B In Bermuda

    I'm starting to think you're a professional troll or something. Why are you so caught up on the word "war"? And you can't separate Romney's campaign from Fox News when they did so much of the campaigning for him. And they use the "war" terminology all the time. And you didn't tell me why I...

    Please don't pretend like Fox News isn't an enormous force behind the Republican Party. The Republican Party would likely still be the sane, fiscally conservative one of old rather than the socially conservative lunatic factory it is today if Fox News didn't make so much money scaring old white...

    Are you really suggesting that the government takes 80% of people's income? Eisenhower isn't president anymore... You mean like the "war on Christmas" or the "war on Christianity"? Or all the reverse-racism us poor white folk have to suffer through?

    The mental gymnastics you go through to come up with the conclusion that the government is greedy for asking for taxes and that corporations are not greedy for hiding their money in foreign countries to avoid taxes is really quite impressive.

    The [H] TOTY Award Thread

    Diablo 3. It's not even a bad game, and I played it plenty, but it certainly didn't live up to its predecessor, and was very lacking considering the amount of time they had to work on it. That, and the unbelievable amount of greed that was associated with every decision they made in the...

    Planetside 2

    Battlefield 3 looks twice as good and runs three times better on my rig. My fps is mostly in the 30s and 40s in this game, dropping into the 20s in a close quarters fight. It's only using 40% of my video card most of the time. Seems like pretty poor optimization to me.

    Motherboard audio drivers with optical out?

    I'm wondering if I should install the audio drivers from my motherboard if I'm just going to be using optical out to my receiver. Does it make any difference? I'm only hesitant because so many game crashing problems seem to come from audio driver problems.

    Yes, the netcode is trash and it does explain a lot of the stupid things that happen, but I'm talking about aimbotters here. It's quite obvious from the way their aim snaps around.

    Calling them Blizzard isn't really accurate anymore. It's all Activision now, the greediest fucks on the planet. Bobby Kotick would murder your grandmother for a penny.

    Battlefield 3 General Discussion Thread

    I just started playing again after taking a few months off. Almost every server is instant vehicle respawn and 1000 tickets... how can anyone enjoy that shit? And the amount of people using subtle hacks is disgusting.

    I've already been using this method. 95% of servers still won't let me connect. I managed to get into ONE working server over a three hour period, and about four minutes in it got hit by a mass-teleporting hacker. Fuck this day.

    I've spent the past two hours trying to find a server that works. Every single one either gets stuck on waiting for host, loading, or waiting on create character. The couple that I've managed to get into then have the FPS bug where you only get 1-5 frames per second. I'm about ready to punch my...

    On my 10th respawn or so, I finally managed to get lucky with an AKM and ammo from a deer stand. Since then, things have been much more interesting. I even found someone's tent in the woods and took their matches, so I've been murdering animals and cooking their delicious flesh. Eight pieces of...

    I looted five deer stands, got 0 weapons. Then I got killed by a hacker. COOL STUFF. Edit: I would have died from thirst anyway since apparently you don't even start with a canteen of water anymore.
