Cooler Master’s QuickFire XTi Adds Color To Your Typing With Red & Blue LEDs
The market for “minimalistic” mechanical keyboards is huge – planks that emphasize a clean, simple design, rather than gaming luxuries or dedicated media keys. While I appreciate such design goals, I do admit that I’m a sucker for LEDs – to me, nothing beats having a simple keyboard with a bit of…..

Heyoo! Lionsgate Begins Production On Borderlands Movie
It’s been rumored for a while, and now it’s confirmed: A Borderlands film is en route. Right off the top, I’m skeptical. Borderlands is one of the best game series going, in my opinion, and just how often does a game-to-movie transition work? Not often enough, and this is a series I’d…..

NZXT’s S340 Mid-tower Chassis Goes Black And Green For Special Razer Edition
When I think of gaming peripherals solutions provider Razer, I think of two things: The color green, and style.

Look Out, Twitch: YouTube Set To Launch YouTube Gaming Service Today
This time last year, it seemed certain that YouTube would be the one to acquire the ultra-popular game streaming service Twitch.tv, but alas, that privilege went to Amazon for a cool $1 billion.

Kingston & OCZ Show Off NVMe-based PCIe SSDs At IDF
It’s not often that a brand-new or updated protocol feels deprecated right out-of-the-gate. Take a look at Thunderbolt; it seems to deliver outstanding speeds that we can’t even catch up to with our devices.
