There’s a new trend in PC gaming: browser-based games. And I’m not talking about Flash or Java games. I’m talking about games like Quake Live and Battlefield Heroes. If you’re not aware, these are full 3D free-to-play games (currently in closed beta) that are supported by advertising and microtransactions.

I’m sure any man who spends a significant amount of time masturbating has at least entertained the idea of masturbation-enhancing toys.

My new keyboard (and mouse) arrived today. I’m quite happy with my purchases. The
Logitech Wave keyboard didn’t really take any getting used to as some user reviews I read had suggested it would. I also had no problem using this keyboard while playing games, which was another common complaint in reviews. The curve of [...]
