A digital copy of a console game ONLY makes sense if the game is dirt dirt and i really mean DIRT CHEAP. Unlike on PC where you can get games in digital format (Steam / Good Ol Games / BundleStars / Indie Gala / HumbleBundle to name a few) for literally pennies on the dollar, you would be a fool to get a digital copy of a console game at this point since you can not resell or trade it.

In fact, this might be a way for Sony / Microsoft to thwart piracy and reselling of their games to 3rd parties like GameStop in the future with the next console. They would obliterate the used resellers market by simply not allowing physical media to be used in a console and force 100% digital downloads to happen across the board. Of course, this would not be good for console gamers in general - Dont flame me lol

1) Google Chrome - light weight and loads super fast, good add-ons

2) Fire Fox - used to be super fast, but (for me) on certain sites it had load issues etc. I stopped using FF around 2011

3) Internet Explorer - Sad excuse for a browser, until Fire Fox came along, I didnt know any better then to use this pile of dung.

Sometimes a simple router power cycle (unplug power, wait 5 secs, plug back in) will do the trick. People often forget the router can potentially lose signals, experience packet loss etc and a first good troubleshoot step should be a router power cycle. I've seen users go months or more and never restart their router and then wonder why it has a crappy internet connection.

Also, it might be good to look up your brand of router / model number and find out if there is a newer more recent firmware update for the router. This is something that really can fix a lot of things and most people never even have considered updating the firmware. When you buy a new router from the store, that router could have been sitting there and have an already outdated firmware on it that has maybe been updated on the manufactures website 5 times before you got your hands on it.

Just an idea here.

I've stopped using AMD cpu's in my builds since '06 and have put up with intels higher price cpus w/ better performance. That being said, I actually hope AMD does something great here, cos having good competition will benefit the consumer (your wallet) in the long run.

Another reason not to be the first on the block, the early adopter of new tech. Hold off on upgrading the OS. Too many potential new bugs to work out. Let someone else be the guinea pig for a few months. Im not touching Win 10 for a while. My win 7 ultimate 64 bit works perfectly for what i need

EverQuest 1 will always have a place in my heart. This game single-handedly revolutionized MMO game mechanics the way all current-day MMO's (including WoW) operate upon. It was tougher then nails to get into and almost zero hand-holding on what to do or where to go next.

Unfortunately there will never be another MMO like it, as now game companies cater to the masses and make their product as generic as possible (like WoW) for everyone and grandma to get into which equates to: $ Maximum Profit $ And this is a darn shame.

Why would anyone watch anything on any platform at all?

One word:

ENTERTAINMENT

Are all the streaming platforms like Twitch / HitBox / UStream a trend? Or are these born from the fact that people want to watch something entertaining like television has brought to use for the past 50+ years now? Only now anyone and their grandma can live-stream and its been brought to the masses - It's no longer a "trend", it's only just getting started and is here to stay
