This summer I'll have some expendable cash (thanks Microsoft!) and I want to spend it on getting a projector / sound system.
Right now I'm thinking of around $1000 for the projector, with about $500 or so for 5.1 audio. I'm willing to put more into the projector and less into audio, and as a...
I'm officially a programming intern at Airtight Games working on :cheese:
I start this Wednesday, and I'm super pumped! :D
Just thought I'd share my excitement with all of you.

Just wanted to give an FYI to everyone that the BF2 complete colleciton is only $7.50 on Steam!

Hey guys,
I thought some of you might like to check this out. I have decided to build a robotic bartender.
In a nutshell, the bartender will be automatically able to mix drinks and pour them (using suction essentially).
I just started the blog, and would appreciate any feedback you guys...

As much as people dislike GFW, their certification process guarantess that accidents like this don't happen!
This isn't the first time this has happened either. Thank god it's digital download though and they can easily push out the correct...
I'm someone who is pretty much a hater against sea food. However, this year I made a new years resolution to go and try new things, so I decided to have some good ol calamari (fried squid for those not in the know) and man is it delicious!
If you are a fan of onion rings, you will love fried...
I just read on Long Zhen's blog that Microsoft has apparently decided that they are going to be making additional options for people who want to DX10 (more than likely to help get the platform moving!)

All emails have gone out now.
I'm not in. :(
The update is being pushed to everyone who was selected by/before Nov 1st.
For the rest of us normal folk, we get it on Nov 19.
Even though I've been running Windows 7 for a while now (that's why I kept telling everyone to wait and see for Win7 for fixes to Vista!), our group hasn't had a chance to get the secret features which MS is revealing today... Holy shit are they ****ing sweet. Transitions with animations and eye...

Personally, I like it. 7 is a lucky number, and the name is already identified with the product from those who know about it. :thumbs:
My favorite PS3 game has finally gone gold :cheese:
In US / Latin America on Oct 21
In Europe, Australia, and New Zealand on Oct 22
In UK and Ireland on Oct 24
I find it a bit ironic that UK is getting it last, even though the developers are UK based.
Anyways, there's a few international...

A blog from MS on the engineering aspects of Windows 7.
It just started this week, so there isn't a lot of content yet, just a long welcome post.
TL;DR version: Windows 7 information is coming in October @ PDC.
As the title says, I'm buying a refurbished DS Lite from the nintendo employee store for $85 :D
I have a few questions though that I'm hoping everyone can answer ASAP.
1) How are refurbished units usually? I'm worried that my screens will be all scratched to hell
2) What are the best games...
So, after realizing that as kick ass as the GoW2 lancer is, there's just a hell of a lot better ways to spend that cash.
I found via NeoGaf that both Banjo and VP2 are only $37 on NewEgg. Not a bad deal!

VP2...

Um, yes please! Just pre-ordered.
It includes a free copy of the game as well. :naughty:
Unfortunately, it will more than likely be plastic, however it will still look great sitting on a shelf.

Nooooooooo!
I hope this is just some sort of huge misunderstanding.
I guess some further proof is that there was a planned Ghostbustters Q&A at Comic Con that was abrubtly cancelled, with no reason given to the fans on...
