Grand Theft Auto 5 !
GTA4 sucked out all the menace and mayhem that made the series' predecessors fun. I hope Rockstar remedies this, in addition to making a PC port that isn't utter garbage. -

HUHUUHUH HUHHHUHUH
It was one of the greatest social critique's of the 1990's. Too bad Mike Judge won't be afforded as much freedom to lampoon music videos and people this time around. -
Should the beaver be replaced as Canada's national symbol? - Outrageous!!!
The senator is a Conservative. I'm assuming her actual goal is to eliminate the Beaver because of the dirty euphemism associated with that word. That would explain her weak-ass argument. A lot of biologists would argue about that 'dentally defective' quip. It's an animal that can log trees and... -
Batman: Arkham City
PhysX is inconsequential for gameplay. I played Arkham Asylum without PhysX with my Radeon, and then with PhysX later on with my GTX 470. The differences are so minute that the 'ooooh shiny' effect wore off in seconds. I get what you're saying, but this game is so freaking super duper... -
Duke Nukem Forever Under $10 on Steam
This game is insulting to everyone's intellect; even mine, which rates between Beavis' and Butthead's. Why Gearbox decided to sully the goodwill they earned from Borderlands and the Brothers in Arms series is beyond me. -
Racist banana throwing?
I don't believe people who see it as a purely racist have a racist mindset themselves. It's just that critical thought, and rationality go out the window because we've been conditioned to think that anything that happens to anyone has a racial motive behind it. It's actually a fear of being... -
Racist banana throwing?
Labeling it 'racist' right from the get-go isn't very good journalism. Have the media and critics conveniently forgotten that banana peels have been part of slapstick humour for ages? That the person who threw it wanted Simmons to slip up, without any racial overtones whatsoever? I mean, this... -
Deus Ex: HR honestly most amazing FPS I've played so far!
Sssh! Not too loud! You'll get the Deus Ex 1 fans riled up! But yeah, apart from the boss battles (which really weren't as bad as they were made out to be,) I was very pleased with the gameplay. I only had two real qualms: The ending choices did not feel anywhere near as involving as in DE:1... -
[Walmart] Blackberry Playbook $249 (50% off)
Weird, it seems other Walmart's are keeping the regular $498 price. Even then, I'm not sure a Playbook for $249 is still that great of a deal when an Acer Iconia a100 with Android 3.2 can be had for fifty more. Though, the Acer's battery life isn't that great. Bummer, seems like it might be a...- DkRk

Ammyy.com Scam
I had a similar call a couple weeks ago. The woman said my Windows PC had spyware and malware, so I played along. Of course, she told me she was from Microsoft, and that I needed to turn on my computer right away. After telling her it was on, and that if she actually worked for Microsoft she'd... -
We are so screwed.
Given his situation, I'd say he's done a very reasonable job. I don't think a lot of people realize the impact of his healthcare initiative, which consumed much of his term. And those bailouts, though I don't agree with them in principle, were necessary. As much as I hate rewarding failure... -
We are so screwed.
I can't see how anyone could possibly be 'consoled' by this... Plus, remember, these are debates put on by the party, for the party faithful. The questions posed are meant to throw some meat to the fired up faithful, and the candidates are out to grandstand, instead of giving thoughtful... -
nVidia GTX 470
I'm considering selling a Zotac 470, with the reference cooler. It has been run overclocked (in varying degrees) during gaming sessions, with MSI Afterburner. Looking at 560ti's, which can be had at the sub-$200 level, I'm thinking about a $130 ceiling? Or am I out to lunch?- DkRk

GTX 470 vs GTX 560Ti
470's can OC pretty well, but the power consumed, the heat generated, and associated fan noise are severe trade-off's. Believe me, I run two in SLI, and though the performance is great, I'm finding myself often wishing for something quieter. This is even with the case a few feet away from my...- DkRk

Toshiba for Laptops...Yay or Nay?
I have a Qosmio from '05 still going. Runs a bit toasty, but I haven't had any issues at all. Altogether, it's a far better product than my Acer One and my brother's HP laptop, both of which are far newer than the Toshiba.- DkRk

Vote results in: British Colombia rejects HST [Globe and Mail]
Average people should not be making decisions about the fiscal direction of their province. Referendum's over-simplify, and that inherent simplification often leads to terrible consequences. California's 'Proposition 13' is perhaps the best example; severe budgetary constraints, leading to major... -
Vote results in: British Colombia rejects HST [Globe and Mail]
His statement is quite valid. The unfortunate result of the referendum backs it up, too. -
Razor announces the new RazorBlade pc
The name 'Razorblade' immediately made me think "Alienware M11x competitor." I would've been interested in that. Despite its form factor, this is pretty ho-hum.- DkRk

Jack Layton dies at 61
See, another problem I have with the whole thing, is how people think Jack was the only 'positive' guy in the house. Frankly, his policies would have affected me in a pretty negative way. Fortunately, he had very little affect on Canada. I've met a number of MP's and candidates, and most are...
