    What games did you all get for xmas?

    I bought the Civ V:G&K expansion and XCOM: Enemy Unknown with my Christmas money. I just got around to installing XCOM this afternoon, and I assumed that Steam automatically patched the game to the most recent patch release. I can't get the game to advance past the second round of player...

    To wire or not wire the house...

    Thanks for your comments, folks. Just had a chat with our designer, who is our eyes on the ground out on the Island. We are going to have a good conversation about the prewiring this weekend. My real struggle is with whether an integrated system (eg. Nuvo, Prodigy, etc.) is a "must do." As...

    To wire or not wire the house...

    I'm building a new home out on the west coast here in Canada. I'd love to wire the house for sound, but I really don't like how quickly the technology stuck inside the walls becomes obsolete. I have looked at systems like Nuvo and Prodigy, but I'm seriously contemplating not doing any...

    Which car would you prefer ? IS350/G37/TSX/3 Series

    I went through this last summer looking for a new car. Test drove the IS350, G37, 335i, and Audi S4. Went with the S4 and have no regrets - Quattro AWD, supercharged V6 with incredible horsepower and torque, nicer interior than the 335. G37 seemed too cheap, and the engine lacked that...

    Where do you go for your PC gaming news?

    I'm curious as to where folks are heading online these days for up to date gaming news. BigDownload used to be a favorite of mine up until they shut down a few months back. Joystiq and Kotaku seem adequate, but scrolling through console news to pick up a few nuggets about PC games gets...

    computer stores in alberta

    *bump* Sorry to push this thread back up, but I recently moved back to Calgary, and I'm looking for a custom computer store that can retrofit my rig with a water cooling system - my current fan configuration is enough to wake the dead, and leave me with tinnitus after an evening of computer...
