    XoticPC/Sager Notebook

    I received my first Sager (NP5670) back in 2007. It is still being used today. I've had to replace the battery a few times, but that has been the only issues I have had with it thus far. The second, an NP9380, was ordered in 2013 with no issues with that unit either. So from my small...

    World of Warships Enters Open Beta!

    One of the best-looking camos in the game at the moment, in my humble opinion. The +50% credit bonus is nice with premiums. Imagine a good Missouri game with +50% credits from camo and +20% credits from the Zulu flag.

    Scharnhorst is much fun! Used the GamesCon camo and Zulu flag. The other team reached 1000 cap points before I could go after the Bayern and Ognevoi left. :cry:

    The Mikasa was initially available on NA via a forum contest in December. You had to make and send in a Christmas ornament to the WoWS Christmas tree. Everyone who sent one in received a Mikasa. It has been on sale a few times on the EU server, I believe. This month, it's available as the...

    Darn if I don't love my Candy Cane Cleveland. Even got a Close Quarters Expert out of that fight. Stage 3 of the Mikasa mission accounts for 1,000,000 of those credits.

    Sweet, just beat my previous record for 'How close can you get to the Challenge requirement without going over' record! Only 135 HP this time. The server is trying to tell me something.

    World of Warships Enters Open Beta!

    I feel bad for some peoples blood pressure playing this game. It can't be healthy. Citadeled this Shchors three times in a row while being focused by 6 or 7 ships (including his 3 man division) after my side of the map collapsed in under 4 minutes. Strong was the salt with that one. :D

    There's no renewal discounts I've ever seen. But, since your account is unified for premium time across all the Wargaming games, you can buy time from any of the other premium shops and it will apply to your Warships account. Tanks usually has discounts around some of the major holidays for...

    World of Warships Enters Open Beta!

    Permanent camo bought on a ship, stays with that ship. There is no way to transfer it. I wish there were, then I'd be able to move the obnoxious New Years camo from my Cleveland around to other ships just for the annoyance factor. On a side note, if anyone would like to see what ships have a...

    Gaming laptop brand recommendations?

    Clevo is the Taiwanese company that designs and manufactures barebones notebook shells for various resellers. Sager and Eurocom both sell numerous Clevo systems after filling them in with your requested components. I've been using a Clevo based notebook since Jan 2007. My first notebook...

    World of Warships Enters Open Beta!

    Looks like all those easy citadels on cruisers were a result of a bug. If an AP shell bounced off the citadel and exploded in the ship, it was counted as a citadel penetration. The most recent patch corrected that, but seems to have caused a greater decrease in AP usefulness than...

    mass effect 3 progress shared between console and pc?

    I bought ME3 on the PC for single player, and on the 360 for multiplayer with friends. The only thing shared between your PC and 360 accounts is your Galactic Readiness value. Single player saves and multiplayer item unlocks/N7 rating are unfortunately not.

    Official ASUS Poll - Do you use front panel audio?

    I used the FPA exclusively even after installing a dedicated soundcard. It wasn't till I purchased an external amp and upgraded my headphones that I noticed an issue on my current build. I could only use the rear jacks on my last PC though. There was too much noise using the front. Oddly...

    A question for Baldur's Gate fans.

    Piscian's correct. The original stat blocks I've seen from 2nd edition D&D looked to be mirrored in the game, so Twinkle is a Scimitar +5 Defender (though it gives a static +2 to defense in the game) and Icingdeath is a Scimitar +3 Frostbrand.

    Multiple WIreless Headsets On One 360?

    The Astro Mixamp 5.8 allows up to 4 receive units to be synced with the base unit. Downside (or upside depending on how you look at it) is you'd need to supply your own headset/mic. Cost could be an issue as well, but I'm completely happy with mine. As long as you have an optical out from...
