    Indie Dev Accused of Exchanging Positive Press for Sex

    regardless of her guilt, she probably doesn't deserve having her whole family doxxed and house spammed with threats over the phone. people are literally trying to ruin her life over a review for a free game.

    Windows 7 Will Be The New XP

    I hated win 8 until I installed the old start button. It is now so easy and I haven't had one problem. I also like the refresh and reinstall admin tools built into Windows 8; just hold left shift when you hit reset to see the menu. http://www.classicshell.net

    Guild Wars 2 Heroic Edition - $25

    I have 3k hours played so far in this game and haven't bought gems or anything with real money yet. The pve bores me, but competitive pvp is where the real good stuff is. If you play by yourself and don't join a guild then you will be bored though, same as any mmo.

    8350 and Guild Wars 2

    I use a 6100 (6 core) and it simply is not fast enough for good fps in zergs. Overclocking improves it tremendously, but there is always a limit. I would look at something faster than a 8350, even if it means less cores/threads or plan on doing a lot of overclocking.

    Thoughts on this build? $700 Budget PC for Office

    Sorry, I will clarify a few things. This desktop is for a family that wants a computer desktop for office, video, and basically low powered games like sim city or the sims etc. They want it to be fast and future ready. I wanted to go intel, but they want me to get the AMD A10 APU because their...

    The Best Free PC Games

    Team Fortress 2 has survived a long time being free and it has a highly competitive scene. I don't really know what more there is to ask of it...I mean, if you want something with different graphics then that's fine, there are plenty of other fps games for everyone.

    Ok, well zone and instance is a bit muddled with the introduction of server guesting. Right now if you step into a dungeon on your server, you enter an instance (unique to you and your party). If you step into WvW, you enter an instance (unique for 3 servers of your tier). When you play a sPvP...

    I play in tier 1. I was an officer in the Titan Alliance. My guild is one of the top WvW guilds. Yes, one person can make a huge difference. First, they have to be good. Second, they have to know what to do. And no, they are separate games because they have different worlds: WvW is in it's own...

    There is more than one game in GW2. There is a leveling game- which is PvE around the world. There is a dungeon game, which is doing 5 man dungeons and fractals. There is a sPvP game which has changed recently with changes to ranking and gem rewards from tournaments. Then there is the big WvW...

    Jumping puzzles are the quick and dirty way to get badges. Most people tend to gravitate towards eternal battlegrounds, so that's where you'll find the bigger zergs and the most badges. It isn't fast, but it's way more fun than grinding anything in the game.

    I am a hardcore player in a hardcore WvW guild and we are still going strong. Every patch is a step forward in the right direction. I love that they have monthly content patches and they seem to get better and better. For example, the halloween patch was the first big content patch and it...

    Every class has different spell effects. Honestly, once you get into the game it is pretty easy to tell what's going on- especially on small team spvp maps. This winter patch has been pretty awesome so far. They added a lot more content than I thought they would and still no reason for me to buy...

    I'm actually really excited for GW2 because it feels more like a login and play game. I think it will be a great game for anyone that is burned out from raiding and wants to mess around in world pvp or structured pvp. If you want hardcore dungeons, then GW2 has some, but they are for five people...

Then you can equip jewels...
