    Alas poor THQ

    Yup, judge blew up the quick whole-THQ sale they were trying to push through and the assets will be auctioned piecemeal 1/22. https://twitter.com/DDInvesting/stat...76488573673472

    Drupal

    We've used Drupal at work for some time (http://drupal.org/node/474838) and do a lot more than that link from 2009 describes (homepage and every landing page athttp://www.zappos.com,http://www.zappos.com/shoes). Everything between the header and footer on those pages are maintained and coming...

    Darksiders II

    I like playing these kinds of games in between MMOs and other releases, just wish that more popular IPs were exploited and dropped into this similar mold. Done even half-assed I'd love to have a handful of WoW overlands and dungeons along with a couple of character classes to level. DLC me to...

    SimCity

    Not defending it (don't really care anyways) but the always on internet connection is also due to some of the sim processing being done on EA's side. http://www.pcgamesn.com/simcity/simc...ays-maxis-boss

    Still can't believe how big the hyper212 looked when I was installing it. As for dust, yeah, you can see it hanging off my rear fan there on my Antec 300.

    I have 2 Antec 300s at home, very nice case. Only ever removed one side though.

    I've got a 5870, so not a huge need. More of an itch, and would let me pass it down to a 2nd computer I'm taking to a LAN at the end of the month that currently has something along the lines of a GTX 260 in it. I only bought this AMD because it was just before Fermi and ATI was doing really...

    2012 NFL Season

    @AdamSchefter From @mortreport and me: Chiefs on verge of a deal with Andy Reid. One source said "the major issues have been discussed and agreed upon." Kinda unexpected, I figured Reid was going to interview with a few people to get leverage on the Cardinals if that's where he wanted to go.

    Well, nice to upgrade RAM anyways, but noticed when I took out the 6gb that they were also 1600, heh. Oh well, now I have 12. 18 if I ever get around to dropping the other 6 back in. Replaced:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231225...

    I think it will be interesting to see how a number of teams deal with cap problems now that they know for sure the cap is only going up ~400k.

    Comic Books

    Maybe I just like somewhat meaningful lasting change, but the more I read of the new Spider-Man stuff (just read Avenging 15.1) the more I like it. I just hope by the end of the year we end up with some Firestorm-like Spider-Man with 2 consciousnesses fighting for control, or some genius/Dr...

    This won't be for everyone, but found both of these videos really interesting/entertaining. First is a review/overview of Twilight Imperium, as a game plays out the players go into a diary room like you see on so many reality shows, and you have the host explaining things after the fact...

    Picked up Legendary a few weeks ago and my friends and I are hooked on it, have played it probably close to 2 dozen times since. Getting a little burnt out, but it's been fun and we'll try some of the inevitable fan variants to hold us over until the expansion comes in August. It's a deck...

    Same thing can be said of their inventory in the states, below is from Walmart yesterday. Clerk said they've only had to restock that endcap once in the last 2 weeks, and it was just to replace a couple units.

    Planetside 2

    So I take it there's something special about the cards themselves, you can't just order an online code from walmart.com? Edit: Ah, guessing it's not the universal card, but the Planetside 2-specific card i'd need to find and/or a card with a bonus sticker on it? Will have to check out wally...

    i7-920, 6gb of RAM, 128gb SSD, HD5870... so if I'm looking to improve the performance a bit on this box my best bet is going with a new video card for now, no? Before just starting all over, since I went with the bleeding edge dead end architecture for some reason 3 years ago? I thought at...

    Home Theater In a Box ?

    I got a Denon a couple years ago, AVR3310CI, the entire line has a network card problem which means I'd have to ship it to a service facility (if it was still in warranty) for a few weeks/months for repair or buy a $175 network card and repair it myself. Due to the problem whenever we switch...

    Man of Steel

    I really like the 2nd trailer, but the more I see of this Superman the more I wonder how they'll be able to pull off a Justice League movie with anything resembling this tone.
