Func’s HS-260 Gaming Headset Now Available at Etail
Earlier this week, JD posted an in-depth look at Func’s HS-260 gaming headset, and little did he anticipate at first, they were impressive.

With its “DRM-Free Time Machine Sale“, GOG.com is hand-picking one classic for each year between 1983 and the present to offer you at a rock-bottom price. Unlike most sales in the past, which features one game per day or even half-day, the sale for each title here expires fast, so it’s worth…..

Func HS-260 Gaming Headset Review: The Art of Underselling Descriptions
Most gaming headsets are one-trick ponies: They’re designed for gaming, which tends to mean that they’re just “good enough” for everything else. As we’ve learned from Func over the past year, though, the company doesn’t want to create anything just “good enough”. So, let’s see if we get “more” with its HS-260…..

Candy Crush Developer King Successfully Trademark’s ‘Candy’, ‘Saga’ up Next
Let’s face it: Candy Crush sucks. It just does. I’ve never even touched it, yet that fact hasn’t escaped me. This distaste might have something to do with the fact that the game is designed to cause players to spam their friends on Facebook with invites, I’m really not sure. All I…..

AMD Kaveri Support Document References Quad-Channel Memory & GDDR5
