    Like Adventure games? like Tim Schafer? Like Double Fine?

    Gave $15. This is great to see. Side question: when the hell is/was Stacking made available on PC?

    If Mass Effect 3 requires origin...

    Honestly, it could require much worse and I'd still keep my preorder - as bad as that sounds. This is one of a few series for which I'd make such an exception.

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution

    Caved and bought it, although I might not have time to play it... Thanks guys!

    Deus Ex: Human Revolution

    Hey all, Quick (generic) question. To my everlasting shame, I still haven't played the original (and I avoided the second as reviews weren't so good). Would this make Human Revolution a stretch to play? How deep is the connection between the games? Thanks!

    New Full Tower Case-Air Cooling

    You'll hopefully see the RV-02/03, FT-02 mentioned somewhere. I don't think you'll find much better for air cooling, although they're generally closer to $200 than $100.

    Silverstone Raven 3

    Have a Raven 2 - a little curious regarding relative performance as they seem to have downsized the case a bit. Happy enough with this case that I don't expect to switch any time soon, however.

    Test Drive Unlimited 2 will be released immediately for Windows.

    Yea, kind of a travesty. This *should* have been a game I'd love to sink hours into, but I haven't even bought it yet. I wouldn't want to put a number to the amount of time I spent with the original.

    Bulletstorm ending AKA the worst case of blue balls in the galaxy

    I never had to buy bullets o.O. But I, too, enjoyed the hell outta the game.

    Zalman CNPS10X Extreme Temp Question

    I don't think temperatures increased for me very much simply because I didn't have to fool around too much with increased voltage - and it's quiet the vast majority of the time. Depending on how you're controlling the fan speed, of course. It's only ever noisy when I run Prime95, etc. That...

    Zalman CNPS10X Extreme Temp Question

    Are you overclocking at all? That may be about right, I don't remember where temperatures were for me on my i7 860 at stock... but @ 3.675GHz, I hit the low 70's at full load.

    Better than FT02?

    If you've seen the FT-02, you're probably also aware of the RV-02 - it's cheaper and has essentially the same internals, but without the same quality of materials on the outside.

    Which 120Hz?

    I recently bought the Asus VG236 (without 3D kit, as I'm an AMD user at the moment), coming from a 2209WA. At first I was a bit put off by the way the desktop looks on a TN panel, but I've gotten used to that and frankly don't notice the color shifts at all in games or movies. What I do notice...

    What will you do when you get angry while playing video games?

    The stuff that really pisses me off happens in single player games - instances where I'm not even given a chance, I just die/fail/whathaveyou without warning and have to replay segments. This happens surprisingly often :o. I generally swear and/or punch my leg (wouldn't want to damage anything...

    The beauty of a Silverstone FTO2B-W

    I think the dimensions in that area are identical to the RV-02. I bought myself one of these when it was on sale: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-222-_-Product And it's identical in length to my old DVD-RW, so it would fit in the top spot. I'm just too lazy to switch them.
