Block Day!!!

One of my favorite things,blocking cards!

So,todays block of greatness is the Aquacomputer 290X block.





In black to match the Bitspower full cover on the motherboard,a very nice match and it ties in nicely!

The all important contact patches are clean and smoothj but there is some swirling on the non contact patches,nothing unusual here.





Porn shot!!





The AC block doesnt use pads for the VRAM,its paste all round,fiddly but better.

And the block fitted,awaiting the active XCS backplate to arrive.









Im off to the garden to make a shroud,it will be replace the retention ring around that acrylic plate and cover the full card,each long side will be folded over to cover everything. The raised acrylic section of the block will stick thru like a gem.
And it should look sweeeeeet!

The case ruins the whole thing... But good build apart from that!

$100 or less ? Get a mechanical with that money.

700W is plenty enough for a 780Ti, trust us, we r expurtz xdxd

Dev units are usually laggy if this phone is real then its normal. (I am betting it is real with HTC getting involved)

No you're not allowed to.

I Loled at this. Like, literally.

Overpriced gaming headset that has almost the same sound quality as the HD518 but with an integrated mic.

One is a $100 audio headphone, the other is a $200 gaming headset, these are very different, but just sayin'...
I'd still go for the HD518.

I just finished the game and I gotta say it's really good.I haven't played the original titles,so my perspective is from a newcomer to the series and I'm not a hardcore gamer either.
 
First of all,the plot and the story were awesome.It's boring in the begining(Prolouge and Chapter 1 to 2,it gets interesting from chapter 3),but it evolves very nicely.The ending is very ambiguous though,and I think few people got it.But,after I thought about it for some time,I just realized how awesome it actually is(spoiler below).Now that I understand it, I like it more than Infinite's ending.

The game starts at sunset and Erin dying because Garret did not trust her enough to let her use her hook to save herself.
 
The entire game takes place mostly at night and is filled with dream-like uncertainty. Slowly turning from the hallucinations of a tired mind to full blown nightmares.  
The game ends with Erin falling and Garret being the only thing literally holding her away from death. This time he unlocks the book and frees Erin from her primal spirit and trusts her enough to pull herself back up when he finally tosses her the hook,but you aren't shown if she catches it or not. Garret passes out once more, finally leaving fate to chance and not intervening.That's what a lot of people will get out of the ending and they would think "Is this game really that bad it has such a shitty ending?".
 
But,when Garret wakes up,you can see Erin's footprints(she wasn't wearing any shoes),and the claw in a wall.Is she alive? Is she dead and he's hallucinating? It doesn't matter, she is free now.
The last shot in the game is of Garret looking out over the front of the Ark and into the sunrise. The dark night is finally over.
 
When I realized this,I was amazed game developers could think of such an ending,but they're French so I guess that explains why.It's so literary...
I,myself, read a lot of philosophical books and such,and that's why I think I got it.
 

I must also say that it looks very nice.The graphics are good and the houses are well-designed.As far as level design goes,it's good but not extraordinary.The game is open-world,but it feels restricted,There's alot of doors you can't go through and such.Still,the freedom of choosing how to go through a level is yours,however,some of them are quite obvious.Kinda linear.
 

The gameplay is good,too.I'm not a huge fan of stealth games,but I enjoyed it,not as much as Dishonored's though.The game doesn't want you to fight enemies,and that's made obvious.You don't have a sword,you're very easy to kill,and fighting doesn't feel rewarding,and I think it's a good thing because this is a stealth game after all.You have the freedom of choice,and that's a plus.Movement is very fluid,I totally loved moving around and such.I think this is one of the most immersive games I've played.The 1st person view really makes you fell you're in the world.Oh,and it's a game in which I can finally see the protagonist's feet!I don't understand why in so many 1st person games you look down and see the ground...There's some sidequests,but they're kinda linear.One thing I didn't understand why you have to steal stuff.The only thing you can buy in the game are arrows and some perks.
Another great thing about it is that you can finely tune the difficulty settings for a big challenge,like dying when you get spotted,disabling focus,etc.
The game is organized in 9 chapters.The first 2 are boring,things get a little interesting in the 3rd.4th is good.In the 5th chapter you are mindfucked and that's all I'm gonna say about it.
 
In conclusion,I had been waiting for this game and it certainly didn't disappoint.I wasn't expecting such an amazing story.It's definitely a change from the original titles.

Introducing HTC and Nokia.
 

So today i woke up early, and thought i would have a crack at this rapping thing.... so WORD TO YO MOTHER! 
 
yeah.... maybe im not the next Dr Dre.
 
I started off with these lovely XSPC RAM blocks. they really do look the bees knees, but they are urm... black =(
 

 
well, my first attempt didnt look too bad, in fact, im quite impressed with it. I think i would have got a better result if i used spray paint, but i wanted something a little less 
permanent. 
 

 
all of them done  
 

 
and for a massive one (oooh er)
 

 
ive still got a lot of the wrap to play with, and i am in the process of doing a little bit more... but ive got distracted by geeky things
