    Legacy of the Void - $25

    Well just buy it, and if it's not legit demand a refund. eBay will always side with the buyer, and if the seller just up and skips town with the money, eBay will refund you out-of-pocket.

    Black Friday 4K Monitor Deals

    I saw this in Best Buy Sunday night. It does look nice, however the demo only showed still images. This made me worry about its video performance. Also, you could tell the colors/clarity suffered a bit from it being a TN panel. I think the size, resolution, and refresh rate make this monitor...

    Black Friday 4K Monitor Deals

    I am looking for deals on displays for this upcoming Black Friday. I found an LG 40UB8000 UHD 4K LED Smart HDTV for $619.00, but I am mostly looking for computer monitors. Anybody know of any 4K 60 hz monitors that are/will be on sale this month?

    Strange HP w22 Monitor Issue

    A few weeks back, when returning from a summer vacation, I sat down to turn on my computer as usual. Only when I pressed the power button, my monitor displayed very strange streaks and colors. First thought I had was "fuck, looks like I need a new monitor". I called HP support out of...

    Amazon Customer Service?

    Agreed - you are acting entitled. Maybe if the drive was the exact same model, I would agree with you. But expecting them to price match a "similar drive" is ludicrous. OP, you're in the wrong here, not Amazon.

    Watching Movies on the Oculus Rift

    Very true for games, but for movies, 24 fps is adequate.

    Watching Movies on the Oculus Rift

    The math you are using is not as clear as you are supposing - you aren't accounting for the OR's distortion. The OR distortion makes the center of your FoV have a higher pixel density (which is beneficial) and the edges have lower pixel density. If you were to use a 3840x1080 screen with the OR...

    Don't need to bite on this, but I absolutely love this post and what you've done with the monitors. They look gorgeous.

    Sorry guys, it's sold. Thank you all for the interest, and catogtp for the help in identifying the stepping. Good luck with your son's computer.

    Never been OCed. I heard the Q6600 is a good OCer but have no firsthand experience.

    FS: Intel Q6600

    Just upgraded my PC and I'm looking to sell my trusty old Q6600. Never OCed, in perfect working condition. $60 OBO. I have no heat so I will ship first if you have excellent heat; otherwise you pay, I ship. This is just the processor - no thermal paste/fans/etc included.

    Free Firebolt eCigs

    Nicotine is a mild carcinogen in itself but compared to smoking cigarettes ingesting nicotine is negligibly bad. The main thing with nicotine is you don't want to do it on a regular basis, because that kind of usage is what most promotes oncogenesis.

    Massive Nvidia hardware failures

    Hi guys, Thanks for the suggestions. The PSU is a 300W pos, so I basically will need to replace it if I want a decent card, right? Also, never buy HP, this computer is a nightmare.

    Massive Nvidia hardware failures

    I know it's a hella old card - I just had read before about sending in old cards as credit for new ones here, but you're right, it's just too much of a piece of shit. I did neglect to mention price range. My budget is <= $200 USD. I've got a 22 inch widescreen monitor, and while I do have...

    Massive Nvidia hardware failures

    So I'm probably really behind the times on this, but my Geforce 8400gs that came with my HP m9040 (gift from my parents) has effectively died. it crashes within 3 min of comp startup. i called HP, and despite the 8400 being from a known bad batch, they refused to refurb/refund/replace the...

    Corrupt Memory

    I had very strange problems with my computer over the past few days, and I finally discovered it was my memory after defragging, chkdsk, etc. I'm left with a couple questions now: 1) Is there any way to recover my memory? I was thinking there might be something causing a short on it, but I...

    Someone confirm this isnt a screenshot

    IIRC it's a gameplay shot. It looks like real-time UE3 tech, have you played Gears? Not high enough quality to be pre-rendered. Besides, Epic doesn't have a history in creating high-quality pre-rendered CG. What you're seeing is depth-of-field and insanely well done normals, among other...

    Live Updates from the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational

    Ugh. Why am I even losing sleep over this? It will be Starcraft 2 tonight and Diablo 3 at Blizzcon. Included in the gift package with a Blizzcon admission ticket will be access to either the Starcraft 2 or Diablo 3 beta.

    Exactly. Look at Scrolling Combat Text...I don't think the poor dude who made it got so much of a mention by the WoW devs.

    Blizzard games "rumor mill"

    To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if Blizzard announces 2 games this year, one on the 19th and one at Blizzcon.

    Calling All Cars! now on PSN

    I hope this succeeds, because I think games like this fill a niche in the market, and I'd like developers like David Jaffe to get support for projects like this. He's already working on another small title, so you're in luck if you enjoy Calling all Cars.

    Lord of the Rings Online unseats WoW

    Well, good for LoTRO, but when somebody says "unseats WoW" it implies that LoTRO is now the king of MMOs, not that it sold more than WoW for one week. It'd be pretty sad if LoTRO didn't.

    Blizzard games "rumor mill"

    Well, 2 years ago Blizzard had job postings for work on Diablo, so I wouldn't be surprised if Diablo 3 is pretty far along development. My prediction is Starcraft 2, WoW Expansion, then Diablo 3. In that order.

    New Gears Maps this Thursday

    Do you guys think they held this content back so they could sell it later? I don't think that's the case. I think they made these maps after release due to consumer demand.

    Gaming and Smoking

    Nicotine is a nootropic. Smoking is relaxing and in moderation probably increases you life span (cigars/pipes). Damages from secondhand smoke are largely exaggerated.

    New Gears Maps this Thursday

    I think the maps we got with Gears were great. Definitely worth the 60 bucks when coupled with the single player campaign. This is just an optional bonus.

    Holy Crap, Nintendo's 2007 lineup is Amazing!

    I know what those people said. Reread what I said about it. Any reservations they have are legitimate. New IPs can be risky. In a discussion of the merits of high profile exclusives, it has plenty of relevance. There aren't a ton of them out there. That shouldn't have been, and wasn't, a...
