    Sex Harassment Is All Too Real When Playing Video Games

    You might want to check your statistics a bit. On average, women earn less than men while holding equal positions, and there is a major gap in the percentage of male/female senior managers and executives. Yes, things have improved significantly, but there is still a big gap. Regarding...

    Blizzard on Cheating In Diablo III

    Given the issues they've had with 3rd parties getting a hold of account info... what could possibly go wrong with this scenario?

    Good review. I'm going to have to dust off my copy and give the new eye candy a whirl. Spelling fixed, thanks for the extra eyes. - Kyle

    Using In-Game Money To Buy Real Video Cards?

    Except for the fact that if you try to actually capitalize on the 10ish billion ISK to turn int into real currency, you risk losing your account. Which I suppose is ok if you don't plan on continuing with the game and want a graphics card, but most people that invest that much time into a...

    Diablo III: 20 Minutes of Game Play

    The comparison to Warcraft isn't specifically to the play style (though there are now similar skills incorporated) but rather the game style. There's a very Warcraft-like feel to the palette, character design, armor/weapon design, lighting etc. As far as the controls go. In general, the D3...

    Diablo III: 20 Minutes of Game Play

    1. The general culture of Blizzard has changed recently, especially when you look at what happened to the original development group that created the Diablo series (and Blizzard North in general). The disconnect I think is very apparent in the recent development and upkeep they are implementing...

    Diablo III: 20 Minutes of Game Play

    Yes it's beta, but there are still some fundamental conclusions that you can make in regards to a released product. For instance it isn't likely that they will be redoing a majority of the art/models in the game for release. They also will not be shifting to a different game engine, and...

    Diablo III: 20 Minutes of Game Play

    I've been playing the D3 beta for the past couple of months, and while they have made improvements, I am a bit disappointed in the game so far. First of all, the game feels like a warcraft mod rather than an extension of the diablo series. Everything from the art work/character models, to...

    CS: Global Offensive Beta Gameplay Footage

    Hopefully it'll still have the buy by # or buy script options just like 1.6. The interface is pretty standard, although I was hoping for a bit more on the graphics end. Gameplay and physics look pretty solid and fairly close to 1.6.

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution Performance Preview @ [H]

    Chalk it up to the unreal engine. It's great from a developers standpoint since it's fairly easy to use and lets you pull a lot of resources out of engine development, but it definitely has some obstacles when it comes to tweaking the environment. At some points I was kind of getting the...

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution Performance Preview @ [H]

    I'm currently running DEHR on a 580 + 2600K @ 1920x1200, for the most part FPS and gameplay are all extremely smooth, however there are instances when entering hallways frames will lag noticeably for a couple seconds. For instance when you get off the elevator from David Sarif's office in the...

    New Intel Unlocked Processors to Debut at Computex

    When you tested the i7-875, which settings were enabled/disabled (eg. HT, Turbo, EIST, etc.)? It's probably too soon to write off the K series, since it's apparent that the motherboard manufacturers have some homework to do on their end.

    ASUS ROG Matrix 5870 Platinum Video Card Review @ [H]

    How does the layout of the ROG Matrix 5870 compare to the reference design? I'm curious to see what one of these cards would do under water, especially with the improved voltage regulation which seems to be holding back my current card (temps are fine under water but becomes unstable around...

    Dark Void PhysX Gameplay Performance and IQ @ [H]

    He is actually referring to a workaround that modifies drivers to enable the use of an ATI card for video and a NVIDIA card for PhysX acceleration. I currently have a 5870 for my display and 8800GTS for PhysX. For the most part it works well, although driver updates become an ordeal. I think...

    ASUS Maximus III Formula @ [H]

    The board I picked up uses the Foxconn socket, no issues so far. I'm not sure if they have switched manufactures like they have on some of their other boards. Overall this board has been great! It really lets you milk the performance out of your hardware if you're willing to spend the time...

    Seasonic X Series: X-750 Power Supply Review @ [H]

    Perfect timing. I was just looking for a PSU for a 2x 5870 build, replacing a M12 700w (gaining higher efficiency and native PCIe connections).

    AMD's ATI Radeon HD 5870 Video Card Review @ [H]

    Would it be possible to see the pcb layout of the 4870 and 5870 side? I'm wondering how the holes would line up for a full coverage waterblock.

    best P55 motherboard?

    I have my eyes on a the Asus Maximus III Formula, haven't seen much on its initial performance, but have pretty high expectations from the ROG series especially after the BIOS has matured a bit.

    SSD RAID scaling under Windows 7 @ [H]

    I'd be curious to see what the same tests would yield using a pair of SLC based SSDs. Particularly with the write speeds.

    BFGTech GeForce 9600 GT OC @ [H]

    In future evaluations would it be possible to get a brief impression of the cards for use in a media/gaming PC since the newer cards feature an integrate S/PDIF input for an HDMI output that includes both video and sound. I think this may be am increasingly popular “real world” scenario for...
