What's up everyone! Long time, no see! So I finally got around to building myself a gaming rig. PK had linked me to another thread here, that ultimately helped me decide what to start with for Motherboard and processor. Everything I spend hours of research (google/youtube). This was my first ever build on my own and it was extremely intimidating, but after many hours and a broken bank account, I present to you my new beauty.

http://hexus.net/tech/news/software/54153-code-leaked-windows-81-reveals-boot-desktop-option/ Microsoft’s Windows Blue (Windows 8.1 for PCs) update may well bring with it an option to boot straight to the desktop. This built-in option would be popular with a vociferous section of PC users who see the new Start Screen as inferior to the old Start Menu and don’t even want to see it once per reboot. A Russian website called Microsoft Portal first revealed the “boot to desktop” code, which is found inside a system file called twinui.dll. These changes are seen in one of the recent leaked builds of Windows Blue/Windows 8.1. However if you have one of these test versions of …

The video made me laugh my ass off to begin with, but the game itself is worth playing just for the levels they've given. I guess it's for the whole month of April. IT'S AMAZING. STOP THE GRAPHICS!!!

Thirty Flights of Loving This first-person interactive short story will have you hooked from beginning to end and leave you wondering what just happened. Driven by a strong narrative and dizzying action, Thirty Flights of Loving (the sequel to Gravity Bone) will require you to piece together the story of a heist. However, we don’t want to give away too much, so you’ll just have to figure out the story yourself! Thirty Flights of Loving was nominated for the 2013 Independent Games Festival Excellence in Narrative and received Honorable Mentions for the Nuovo Award and the Seumas McNally Grand Prize. Also includes the soundtrack! http://www.humblebundle.com/weekly …

Yet another F2P MMO. Ugh, we're just saturating the market at this point, but the idea of a solid kung fu MMO intrigues me a little. I may check it out a bit. Anyone try it while in beta?

Broken Age is a point-and-click adventure telling the stories of a young boy and girl leading parallel lives. The girl has been chosen by her village to be sacrificed to a terrible monster--but she decides to fight back. Meanwhile, a boy on a spaceship is living a solitary life under the care of a motherly computer, but he wants to break free to lead adventures and do good in the world. Adventures ensue. Broken Age development began when we asked our community if they would help us create a classic-style adventure game without needing to rely on traditional publishers. It turns out they did. And ever since day one, 2 Player Productions has been recording the whole process…

Diablo 3 has two auction houses - one which deals in real money and another in in-game gold - through which players can buy and sell in-game items. It was expected, Wilson noted during a GDC talk (via Joystiq), that a legitimate auction feature would reduce the use of fraud and black market sales, and that only a small number of players would use them. The developer was wrong on both accounts, admitted Wilson. Almost every Diablo 3 player, he said, has used an auction house at some point, and over half of them on a regular basis. This "damaged item rewards", he added, and the pursuit of money has detracted from what should be the game's real motivator - its campaign. …

Through a new program called "Borderlands Cooperative," Academy of Art University students have the opportunity to produce a short animated film in the Borderlands universe, using materials and guidance from 2K Games and Gearbox. The multidisciplinary effort gives Academy of Art students the chance to form teams and submit storyboards. The chosen storyboard, and its team, will then be given the go-ahead, and a chance to interview for internships at 2K. Students get some valuable experience out of the deal, and 2K and Gearbox get a free, fanmade advertisement. The film – whatever it ends up being, and whoever ends up making it – is expected by the end of the year. Sou…
