    Flash Player 24.0.0.186 Released

    I appreciate you staying on top of updates and keeping us safe, Chief, but has anyone managed to completely ditch Flash? Once every site/service (other than HBO GO) I use switched over to HTML5 without Silverlight, I found it easy to completely uninstall Flash and disable the plug-in in...

    WinRAR performance

    Do you guys find any noticeable increase in performance by using 7-Zip over WinRAR, or any benefit whatsoever? This might sound strange, but I felt guilty always having to close WinRAR's message asking you to buy the program after 30 days of having installed it.

    Why i can only play at 720P ???

    Your mobile GPU aside, I'd venture to guess that Risen 1/2 are not as optimized as well as Skyrim. Tomb Raider (2013) is one example of a very well-optimized game. I can get surprisingly good performance at decent video quality settings with the gt 740m GPU and 12GB of RAM that came in my laptop.

I played BF1942 at a LAN cafe, then I bought BF:Vietnam and BF2, and BF2 was by far my favorite but I stopped playing in 2006...

    I Am Moving Back to Maryland!

    I've read that something like 1 in 10 people are addicted to heroin in Baltimore, generations of well/semi-functioning opiate addicts abound. That is an astounding rate, if it were anywhere close to true. This could be good and bad for you, eits... One one hand, painkiller use could mean...

    Films which you enjoyed, even though they suck.

    Malibu's Most Wanted. Watched it half a million times with my brother when I was 13, since it was playing on HBO all summer.
