PAYDAY 2 Free Weekend at Steam Coming Up, Overkill Releases Free Heist to Celebrate
Overkill’s PAYDAY 2 came out last August, and it’s good. Well, if you’re into committing virtual crimes, that is. We’re talking robbing banks and jewelry stores, infiltrating gang territory to scour for information, and, for some reason, running around a mall, smashing everything in sight. The reason I’m writing about the game…..

When one of the hottest games of the season is about to hit the PC, you can bet on one thing: NVIDIA’s also about to drop an updated GeForce driver. As this post suggests, the company hasn’t disappointed us where Watch Dogs is concerned. If you’ll be playing the game, NVIDIA highly…..
Growing Plants with the Help of a Smartphone? Niwa Makes it Possible
Back in December, I talked about a product called “Click and Grow” which aims to make it easier for people to grow plants in their homes – at least, if there’s an ample amount of sun available. Overall, it’s a neat product, but it’s held back by high-cost cartridges that don’t last…..

Firaxis Explains its Reasons for Adopting AMD’s Mantle Technology for Civilization: Beyond Earth
When Firaxis announced Civilization: Beyond Earth last month, the developer had a couple of surprises in store. For starters, the game is Linux-bound – a rather major development for fans of that OS. Secondly, the game will also be supporting AMD’s low-level graphics API, Mantle. Firaxis crafts some incredibly complex games, and Beyond…..
iBUYPOWER’s OptiBoost Aims to Add Flexibility to OEM Notebooks
A frustrating aspect of purchasing a notebook at retail or etail is not being able to customize it. Sure, there are sometimes more than one variant of a particular model, but it’s unlikely that either of them are going to be “perfect” in your eyes. There always seems to be a compromise…..
G.SKILL to Host Huge Overclocking Competition at Computex
There’s sure to be a couple of overclocking events at next month’s Computex show in Taipei, but the first one to catch my eye is G.SKILL’s.

Benchmark Results for NVIDIA’s Tegra K1 Surface
Last week, we discovered that the first Tegra K1-equipped device to come to market would be Xiaomi’s MiPad tablet. That’s due out next month, and despite that, we’ve largely remained oblivious to what kind of performance gains we’ll see over Tegra 4. Paper specs only go so far, but given that after its…..

It’s been no secret that The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings was coming to Linux; “when?” has been the big question. Well, over at Steam today, the game’s featured in the main showcase with the words “Now Available for SteamOS!”, which of course means both Valve’s OS and Linux in general. This,…..

ioSafe 214 Dual-bay Disaster-Proof NAS Review
ioSafe has long been building NAS boxes that can take some serious, real-world abuse. We’re talking water submersion, or something even more severe, like a house fire. What could make a solution like that even better? Synology’s DSM software on-board sure doesn’t hurt. With the 214 dual-bay option, that’s just what we’re…..
Activehours: Payday Advances Have Just Become More Convenient, And Far Less Expensive

Tesla Model S Promises UK Cross Country Trip with One Extra 20-Minute Recharge
I don’t know about you, but electric cars don’t really, um, electrify me too much. I mean, I like “green” solutions as much as the next guy, but I’m too selfish to give up my passion for all things automotive. Electric cars, as capable and as clean as they are, just aren’t…..
Valve’s Dota 2 ‘The International 4’ is Going to be Bigger than Ever
The International is an annual professional Dota 2 tournament going on its fourth year. It set a record in 2011 for having the largest prize pool for any eSports event in history, but in 2013 Valve hit on the idea of partially crowdfunding the prize pool through sales of event compendiums. While…..
Google Honors Rubik’s Cube Anniversary with Interactive Cube Doodle
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the classic Rubik’s Cube puzzle, Google’s homepage doodle today is an interactive version of it. So, prepare to gloat once you’ve beaten it, or utter “screw it” after giving up (which is the route I took). After visiting the site and clicking on the animated cube, it…..
The Challenges of Achieving Accurate Battery-life Results for Mobile Devices
I’m in the process of evaluating EVGA’s Tegra Note 7 tablet, and of course, that involves a lot of testing. The last time I took a look at a mobile device was with NVIDIA’s SHIELD, and for that article, I established some simple methods of testing the device’s battery-life. Most notably, I…..

Mionix NASH 20 Gaming Headset Review – A True Star
Naming a product after a star might seem like a fine idea, but it brings along with it a slew of certain expectations. The Mionix NASH 20 namesake is a star in the zodiac constellation Sagittarius. So, is this stereo headset actually a star, or does it blow up like a supernova?…..
