    amazon reviews can often be taken with a grain of salt, but there are only a few reviews so far for the PG42UQ and nearly all of them are reporting significant box & screen damage on arrival. it looks like ASUS has to improve the packaging for the next batch. strange, you'd think they'd have...

    a curved monitor is intended to bring the farthest areas (corners) closer to the same radial distance as the center. You really dont need to bother with curved unless you're going stupid wide like Odyssey G9 (sorry Brahma) a small radius curve is ok for +34" monitors, but don't go with the super...

    I've really looked forward to this, but the excitement has dwindled as years have come and gone. AC Black Flag ship combat was a lot of fun, and it seemed like a no-brainer to flesh that out into a full pirate-themed game of its own. Too bad they let a decade go by. I'm still hopeful that this...

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare II 2022

    I've been out of the COD circuit for over a decade, but this looks intriguing... I've been watching Jackfrags play on PS and PC and it looks like I might give it a go... $70 is really tough to get over, though *edit here's a bit more detailed and critical take

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    I really love the Malazan books... but, IMO, Malazan is something better enjoyed with more perspective and life experience. The content is really heavy, but can also really subtle, and I think it's easy to miss so much of what's there if you're not a mature reader and at least somewhat a mature...

    good purchase. you might find that the YU6 are a bit too much for your 8x11 room. my office is 10x15'. and the YU4 speakers + 8" sub rarely go over quarter volume before they become too loud to enjoy.
