  1. It's an alternative to Diablo 3. Give it a try and if you are not interested, then don't.
  2. This game is what Diablo 3 should have been in my opinion. I like it quite a bit so far and it is a free to play game. Give it a go. pathofexile.com

    I liked it. Not as creepy as the first but still pretty good.
  4. Not bad. the 635M graphics is near the top of the class-2 video card. Looks like a good deal to me.

    Guys, please let us all know how the game is. I had it preordered then canceled it after reading about the EA DRM junk. I want the game but that has me concerned.
  6. What are you using to do the start page? While I have some questions regarding the content, i like the style. Can I grab the CSS? I am guessing that's all it is. (not going to investigate while at work.) Nevermind. Figured out it's some community on Reddit.
  7. Sorry to hear that buddy. If it's any consolation, my bro got let go from Blackberry (formerly known as RIM). He was frontline IT and did mostly desktop support (responding to tickets and what not). The company, in its infinite wisdom decided to outsource all the frontend IT (70 or so jobs) to a call center in Europe even though cost analysis showed it made no sense financially. They were notified 3 weeks before launch that their last day would be Feb 12. The kick was they were expected to help train their replacements as soon as possible. You can imagine how co-operative they must have been! Last week he was talking with a friend who was still working there. She mentioned that IT is a mess now and they've had to create a mailbox just for the complaints people have for the IT dept! Never mind the actually problems people are having with their machines! Upper management doesn't understand IT at all.
  8. Yeah, it's the same. It was your email as well. Glad someone still had it. Great format I mean to replicate for myself. Thanks bro.
  9. I would be interested in seeing your resume without the personal information or at least a portion of how it is formatted. I really need to redo mine and am looking for an idea on how to make it look.
  10. I am reviving this for a specific reason. I think it was Unclean that emailed me a great format for a resume and I cannot seem to find that email now. I think the format was a list of successes or something (I cannot think of the frakin word!) and then a brief description of skills, etc. I think that was the format and I think it was Unclean that emailed me this but I cannot recall. Things are not looking to hot at my new job. Company is bleeding people regularly and the new CEO is an amateur at best and has no understanding or appreciation for IT and the job we do. I want to start preparing for what I believe is coming in the next few months.
  11. As nice as the Titan is as a high end performer, I personally wouldn't spend $1000 on a video card. Unless you plan on going 3 monitors with Nivida's Surround (AMD has Eyefinity) then that is probably a waste. I have the single 24-inch monitors which runs at 1920 x 1080. I use an EVGA GTX 670. When I played Dead Space 3 at max settings a couple of weeks ago, I ran GPU-Z and watched the load on the GPU (not cpu). I averaged around 30-35% utilization most of the time with a couple of spikes up to 50%. The current gen Nvidia cards are beasts and can handle most everything thrown at them. Anything more without going the multiple monitor route would be a waste of money.
  12. I doubt the PS4 will take years like it did for the PS3 for developers to understand and develop for. The hardware of the PS4 is pretty much identical to a PC with regards to CPU and what not. The difference is the firmware or OS running on the PS4. Developers will not have to wade through layers of Windows and Mac bloat to get to the underlying hardware so we should see much better use of the available resources. Developers also do not have to factor in all of the different hardware in PCs because everything in the PS4 will be identical; they can max it out without fear of last year's hardware not being able to hand it. Sony probably made a good decision here but only time will tell.
  13. Well AMD"s APU's are not that impressive so I am not sure why they are going this route. I am glad they are using AMD hardware because it is cheaper than Intel and keeps AMD in business but to me it limits the capabilities of the system. Yeah, its cost effective but they are basically releasing a new console with 2 year old video technology. I do suppose though that we will see better ports from console to PC and vise versa and the 8GB of GDDR5 is interesting. That is super fast video card RAM but as system and video RAM and 8GB of it.
  14. As a super geek for tech specs and the like, I am waiting to find out what kind of CPU and GPU this thing is running. I may sell my PS3 after I play through "The Last of Us" in a few months.
  15. Woops. It is Star Citizen, not Space Citizen. Not able to change the subject / title so oh well.
  16. wait... so this show could potentially have no finale season? Well George RR Martin doesn't want to pull a Roger Zalanzy so he has written out his manuscripts in case he dies before he finishes it. Have you seen this dude? He looks old and is really big and just looks unhealthy.
  17. If you read the books, then last season ended half way through book 2. God only knows when George will write book 6. It only took him years to write book 5 and HBO needs this series to go on for a while.
  18. Has anyone contributed to the Space Star Citizen project? It is an ongoing crowd funding project by the creators of X-Wing and other games. There is more information at the website of course. It is using a combination of game types to create a space sim with RPG and action elements. It is using the Cryengine too so it should be pretty. The expected release date is the end of 2014 but those that contribute now get a guaranteed ship and play time in the alpha and betas. Read up on the ships and "tech" behind them. It is simple yet complex in how they are doing it. The ship art looks great too. http://vimeo.com/51135962
  19. Anyone in Northern VA driving? I would like to go and would rather ride with someone.
  20. Yeah waiting cannot hurt. But if you cannot wait, Microcenter combos the ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 with the i7 3770K chip as well as some RAM there. Come back and ask us when you are at the point of purchase again. I would consider picking up a power supply now if you have the cash. HardOCP pretty much said this is the best power supply they ever tested. http://www.amazon.com/Seasonic-ATX12V-EPS12V-Supply-SS-660XP/dp/B009VV56U8/?tag=hardfocom-20 Unless you plan on going with some insane SLI setup, this should probably be good enough for whatever you build.
  21. Let me ask you this. Do you have a Micro Center anywhere near you?
  22. I am also open to trades. I am interested in an nvidia card last couple of generations. a 9800GT, 9800 gtx or gts 250, 450, or similar. Straight up even trade if anyone is interested.
  23. Hi. I am selling my older motherboard, RAM, and CPU. They are several years old but still run solid. I am trying to discard all of these older systems just sitting in my house taking up space. The motherboard: ASUS P5N32-E SLI Plus LGA 775. This is the Newegg link that I got it from. http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813131153 The RAM: OCZ Reaper HPC Edition 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800. Here is the Newegg link where I got it from for reference: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820227267 The CPU is an Intel E8400 Core2Duo. I did not get this from Newegg nor from Amazin. I believe I got it from ZipZoomFly which is no longer in business. This is a Newegg link for reference though: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16819115037 This setup still works perfectly I just need to get rid of it. I just took it out of my son's old chieftek case and put in my AMD 1090T setup. I currently do not have a case to put it in and want to find a home for it. Maybe someone has a kid who wants to do some basic gaming or something; this setup will work perfectly. I have no idea on price. Just make a reasonable offer along with shipping and it is yours. I will hold payment for a few days after delivery for your confirmation that it works and after that it is fully considered yours. I will refund if it doesn't work given that there isn't any damage to items upon receipt. I expect to be notified of shipping damage immediately before any attempts to install it. I recommend insuring the packaging.
  24. They are not zombies in the traditional sense. The term is used to give a feeling of part survival horror game. These are creatures created by a virus and my guess is that the cause will be revealed as the game progresses.
