9800 GX2?


Seems rumors say that a new GeForce video card will come out in late Febuary or early March. It would be call the 9800 GX2, with two 880 GPUs shrunken to a smaller 65 nanometer process on one card. Apparently the new card has support for Quad-SLI. Yes, Quad so that everyone can now spend $3000 on graphics. It should be at least %30 faster than the existing 8800 Ultra and have 1GB of frame buffer.

How to Make Comics With Half-Life 2


The process is relatively simple. You only need Half-Life 2.  Counter-Strike: Source, and Day of Defeat: Source are reccommended, along with the other Half-Life 2 games. Follow these easy steps to make a comic:

1. Download Garry's Mod 9, or purchase Garry's Mod 10* via Steam. It's only 10 dollars.
2. Open up your version of Garry's Mod.
3. Begin to post models and ragdolls with the physics gun.
4. Take screenshots of the models.

NOTE: Photoshop is required for these steps.
5. Open up Photoshop.
6. Create a new document with whatever size you want.
7. Open up your screenshots and resize them to fit your new document.
8. Create speech bubbles and text.
9. Save it as a .jpg file, and you're done!

* Garry's Mod 10 is frequently updated, with new content as Source games are released. It has online multiplayer too.

Overclocking


Hey guys,

I just wanted to let you know that I wont be posting very much, as I am meticulously overclocking my primary computer for the holiday gaming season.

I've managed to bring my water-cooled 2.4 GHz stock q6600 to 3 GHz but I am going to try for 3.2 GHz. Then I am going to be overclocking my 8800 GTS.

CYA!

Wallpaper Changer - revised post


Today I'd just like to put out a review of WPchanger:

Wpchanger is a compact program that allows you to specify the amount of time between automatic wallpaper changes. You can save lists of wallpaper, and cycle through them in however short time you may want. The free trial is unlimited, but lacks features of the pro version like dual monitor streching wallpaper; it still applies the same wallpaper to each screen.

WPchanger gets my seal of approval.
