    Grim Dawn ( Titan Quest \ Diablo fans )

    There isn't one, it's currently in pre-alpha. They are aiming for august 2013 I think. Looking forward to this, should be excellent.

    Do you use desktop speakers or headset for gaming?

    still got the old turtle beach hpa2 5.1 set. since I have a auzentech forté, and therefore have 2 channels idling, I've been looking at the razer 7.1 set for a possible upgrade. I wonder how it's like. I also have z-5500 but they only get used when I'm not alone.

    Razer Onza or Microsoft controller for Windows?

    I have both. the microsoft one has incredibly loose joysticks. I can't play a racing game without setting up a dead zone. the razer doesn't. otherwise, the razer has meatier triggers, the face buttons are mouse clicks so that's obviously superior, it's more comfortable. the d-pad is very good as...

    ROCCAT Kave 5.1 Gaming Headset

    I came in this review, expecting no direct comparison with its closest competitor, the Z6a, or the industry standard, the discontinued HPA2. It delivered. :banghead:

    Will you wait for NVIDIA's next-generation Kepler GPU?

    Voted wait but there's one thing that could possibly make me get a 680 to replace my 580, and that is massively reduced performance loss in 3d vision.

    Ultrasone Signature PRO Headphones Launch in North America

    They use the same plastic for all their products regardless of price and it is easily the highest quality plastic I've seen on headphones.

    Ultrasone Signature PRO Headphones Launch in North America

    I would say that I love my pro900 with audiophile level recordings of electronic music. :toast: I'm not sure this new model will fare well against the pro900, which has better specs for 800$ less in exchange for less luxurious materials. I think they look better too. This is a far cry from...

    Original Half Life Re-Ported

    HL source is a mixed bag for me. it has improved lighting, transparent water like in hl2, and basic ragdoll physics for models, but it also comes with a few annoying bugs, like scripted animations that don't work or music tracks cutting off before the end when there are loadings. but the best...

    Xigmatek Elysium

    the whole thing feels like a homage to the first model of CM Stacker to me, which is still my case since '05. back then I said I wouldn't change it until 2014 but this might make me change my mind. superb case...

    What made you get into Pc life?

    the first PC my mom bought was a pentium 133, I was 13. at one point I upgraded it with a voodoo banshee which came with the first three chapters of half-life. needless to say I forgot about my n64 and ps1 rather quickly, especially when I started playing quake, unreal tournament and tribes soon...

    How much difference does a good soundcard really make?

    as a professional sound technician, and hobbyist electronic music producer, I can affirm that comparing any onboard sound card, to, for example, my auzentech forté is like vhs vs blu-ray. figuratively, my old creative x-fi was 100x better than onboard sound. my current forté is another 10x...

    *TPU's Gaming Headphone/Headset Thread*

    Hey there mister, just a quick question for you... for 4 years I have been using the turtle beach hpa2 which is similar to the Kave, and of course I couldn't live without it anymore. however I have thought of upgrading it quite a few times, and the Kave is certainly a contender, what I have not...

    New headphones, should I get an AMP?

    I recommend the Audio-GD FUN DAC/Amp, I use the older Compass model with my pro900 ultrasones and it's really great.

    Stereo Widening

    I know there was this plugin for foobar2000, should not be hard to find, that could wrap VST plug-ins, so you could use that with the voxengo stereo touch free vst.
