Windows 7 hit end-of-life status today (unless you're a corporation who can pay gobs of money for extended security updates). With that in mind, we're wondering if anyone here in the forums still uses Windows 7 and *why*. Personally, I haven't gone back to Windows 7 in years, but I understand...

Hey Richard C. Wading through the glut of back-to-school deals can definitely be a little overwhelming. Every manufacturer is going to vying for your hard-eaned dollars with sales, whether it be Dell, HP, Lenovo, or Apple. One way to whittle things down is to think hard about what you're going...

Welcome, jmh_72! Good to have you here!

Favorite of all time would have to be Zune (R.I.P.). I had both one of the original brown brick-like Zunes and a Zune HD later. I know the iPod was the hip thing to have at the time, but there was just something about that original beast of an MP3 player that felt great to use. The software was...

Definitely looking forward to the challenge of a stealth playthrough when I get time. Figured chaotic would be a good way to familiarize myself with the game, but I gotta get those 'chieves!

Putting my money (heh...heh...) at right around $400, too. I honestly don't think MS could go much higher without significant backlash. We'll see, though!

I will still never forget playing RE2 in the dark when I was a wee lad. The part where the licker jumps through the interrogation room window may or may not have ruined a pair of pants.

Dishonored 2 has been out for about a week now, and I'm absolutely loving it so far! I'm doing this first playthrough as Corvo going for high chaos. This is admittedly the first time I've played a Dishonored game (though I'm planning to get to the first one, too!) and I figured leaving a...

Welcome, Reckhenge!

Slightly off topic, but how do you like the Surge? Just got a Charge 2 and I'm digging it so far.

Gonna have to give it to DOOM. It's been said to death, but the combination of the classic frenetic DOOM pace and feel with a modern touch was fantastic. I suppose I have a bit of a soft spot for id stuff though (countless hours of RTCW and Wolf 3D before that growing up). Dishonored 2 has me...

I've never been a "Day One" guy with consoles (side effect of being a PC gamer for so many years, I guess), but I'm honestly thinking of springing for Scorpio right away. Of course, that all depends on what else we learn between now and then — particularly when it comes to price (hopefully no...
