Look at that, someone (Super Talent) has finally thought to release relatively inexpensive SSDs
Posted on April 9, 2010 | No CommentsAll the cool kids in the neighborhood are building their PCs with solid state drives these days. Who wants to use a plain old hard disk drive, what with its icky moving parts, when you can cruise along on a drive with zero moving parts? I mean, it's no contest. Problem: SSDs are usually what I like to call "mad expensive." You're paying a heck of a lot for a fairly small drive... until now~! Super Talent has a brand new line of "value" SSDs that are low-ish in price. It's all the benefit of an SSD without the incredibly high price. At least that's the idea.

There will be a collector’s edition of StarCraft II
Posted on April 8, 2010 | No CommentsBlizzard just announced, via fancy e-mail, that there will, indeed, be a collector's edition of StarCraft II, whenever it comes out. (No, Blizzard has not announced a release date yet, but says it will "soon.") Anyhow, the collector's edition will come with a 176-page art book, a USB thumb drive loaded with the original StarCraft and its expansion pack Brood War, a behind-the-scenes DVD, a CD soundtrack, a comic book, and a World of Warcraft in-game pet, plus other bonus downloadable content (aesthetic stuff, not like mega-powerful guns or anything). Total cost: $99.

No iPad for me, thanks (but please don’t hate me)
Posted on April 2, 2010 | No CommentsTo answer our own poll: no, I will not be buying an iPad. It's not that I'm "anti-iPad," which sounds pretty silly ("look, I'm against a piece of plastic~!"), it's simply that I have no need for it. Why would I buy something that I don't need? That makes no sense!

PAX East 2010: It’s a 3D world, and we’re just living in it
Posted on March 26, 2010 | No CommentsSo yeah, we're living in the age of 3D. I just made a quick run inside the main PAX East/A> (henceforth know as PAX), and Nvidia has 3D games all over the place. There's no escaping it~!

EA fellow bitten by his own company’s DRM in Command and Conquer 4, questions the sense of it all
Posted on March 24, 2010 | No CommentsJeff Green used to work at Games For Windows magazine before taking a sweet gig at EA, but that little fact won't silence his criticism of the DRM found in Command and Conquer 4. He tweeted white-hot rage when, as everyone on the Internet predicted, this "always-on" nonsense worked as intended, and prevented a law-abiding citizen from playing his game.

Sirius XM proves its worth this week with Winter Music Conference broadcasts
Posted on March 23, 2010 | No CommentsThere's one week per year that there's reason to listen to Sirius XM beyond XM Channel 202 The Virus. That's right, it's Winter Music Conference time, a time when the world's top DJs and producers descend upon Miami and have themselves a good ol' Dionysian time. House music, trance, progressive, Dutch tourists trying to find food that won't kill them, etc. It's a good example of what satellite radio could have been.

TED talk: To save the world, we have to play 21 billion hours of video games per week
Posted on March 22, 2010 | No CommentsYes, you read that right. According to Jane McGonigal, we as a people need to play online games for 21 billion hours per week in order to solve the world's problems. Real problems, too, not silly things like making sure Simon Cowell stays on for another season of American Idol. We're talking poverty, having access to clean water and healthy food, climate change, obesity, global conflict, etc. The real deal. Hey, this is McGonigal talking, not me. I'm fine with using World of Warcraft as nothing more than a giant time sink.

Zygor’s guides are half-off this week, World of Warcraft peeps
Posted on March 22, 2010 | No CommentsJust a friendly heads-up, gents. A few months ago, I mentioned the release of Zygor 2.0 for World of Warcraft. Zygor, of course, is an in-game leveling guide that makes going from level 1 to level 80 pretty painless. Crushingly boring and repetitive—much of the sense of adventure is lost following step-by-step, but that's the same with any strategy guide—but painless nonetheless. Anyhow, the guide is on sale this week, and if you were ever thinking about getting it, but were put off by its price, well...

Review: Creative World of Warcraft headset
Posted on March 14, 2010 | No Comments
Short Version: Fresh from the box, Creative’s World of Warcraft, is here! They were designed for WoW players and their performance definitely reflects that. While a tad bulky, they don’t feel heavy.
Pros
• Very Comfortable
• Hard to hear outside the headphones
• Wireless Mic works well. Does not get in the way.
• Driver allows deep customization of audio to serve your needs.
Cons
• No way to determine battery power.
• Volume buttons feel a little flimsy.
• Microphone can adjust but not very well.
• In order to download drivers, you must register the product.
• Reasonable but not impressive range.
• Not compatible with consoles (at least the PS3)

Brains, brains, scanning brains
Posted on March 12, 2010 | No CommentsResearchers would be wasting their time, and their patrons' money, scanning my brain. They'd quickly find nothing but World of Warcraft Auction House strategies and an incredible amount of space devoted to translation Marca, A Bola, La Gazzetta Dello Sport, and France Football every morning. Maybe if they'd scan, say, the brains of Fez Whatley or Vince McMahon, then they'd find something interesting.

EA drops fat cash on The Old Republic
Posted on March 11, 2010 | No CommentsWhat's it going to take to dethrone World of Warcraft? One of two things, I'd say: one, an asteroid smashing directly into the planet, with Blizzard at the exact location of impact, or two, Blizzard releasing World of Warcraft 2. The asteroid is more likely at this point. So you can imagine the time and money EA is putting into The Old Republic, the only MMO with a chance in hell of taking away even a fraction of WoW's subscribers.

NVIDIA’s ION 2 promises faster graphics and long battery life
Posted on March 2, 2010 | No Comments
It's official. NVIDIA's ION 2 GPUs are coming. You’ll see them on more than 30 products come summer time. The company is promising “10x faster graphics and up to 10 hours of battery life.” So much for that whole power-versus-battery-life tradeoff.

Atari and Cryptic anger the people who bought Star Trek Online at launch
Posted on March 1, 2010 | No Comments
Remember Star Trek Online? Yeah, it came out waaaaay back on February 2nd of 2010. Well, it's Cryptic's game, but it's published by Atari, and since there maybe hasn't been the level of interest everyone was looking for, they are running a sale. It's a pretty good deal too, since you get the game for $10 off (which isn't so bad) and you an additional 60 days of free gameplay (which is the frustrating part). That's a total of 90 days of free play, including the 30 days that come with the purchase of the game. That seems really unfair to the players who pre-ordered or bought the game when it first came out.
