I tend to now use the mobile website for quick checks. There was actually a noticeable improvement in my phone's performance after uninstalling facebook. I have a Nexus 6 and I definitely noticed a boost in battery life. I didn't really use the facebook app much before uninstalling, as I would...

Oh man, this is definitely true. Totally forgot about DDR4. With DDR4 rolling out and lowering in price, DDR3 will definitely drop in price by a lot. Patience will really pay off here, and it'll end up being the same as solid state drives which were like $2-3 per gigabyte when they became...

GTA V isn't optimized for PC, so that'll lead to a good number of issues from the start. Extra RAM never hurts, and if you have decent internet, you could even use it to run a server for yourself. I tend to use my 16 gigs for handling tons of Chrome tabs, but it's always nice to have a lot of...

I get way more annoyed by people who throw the match because they're trying to derank. It's way more frustrating when people do that for me. Also, when people try to say that they're "not trying" after we lose a few rounds and basically just give up. Wish I could report people for things like...

I actually have the "always on" feature turned on for my phone. It only responds to my voice, though everyone who has seen me use it with the screen off will still try. I've found that I'll use it across the room while it's charging to get a quick answer to a question. The absolute best use for...

Team Fortress 2 was my first not in-browser game that I played, besides Space Pinball that came with Windows XP. I actually initially got Steam so I would be able to play CS: Source but my friends were more into TF2 at the time, so that's what I ended up buying. I've played TF2 for years, and...

It's pretty common for laptops to heat up quite a bit, especially while playing games. Most laptops, especially slimmer ones tend to have difficulty distributing heat, just because they can't fit larger heatsinks or fans. It's also very easy to accidentally cover up a heat vent or an air intake...

I feel like Portal brings really happy and nostalgic thoughts for me. I remember playing it on my dad's computer because mine couldn't run it at the time. It was one of the first games I had played on the PC, and it just makes me remember this game in particular. I remember getting through the...

I am definitely looking forward to picking up The Witcher 3 if it goes on sale, but I'm pretty sure it will! I'd be pretty psyched if they put some sort of discount for the Civ VI pre-order. I think they did something like that for Beyond Earth, and they ended up giving me a free copy of XCOM...

Yes! I use Apex Launcher which I've been really happy with since I got it. I was really surprised that it ran better than stock at times, even on my Nexus 6. As much ram as Google Keyboard uses up, I do like it a lot. They recently added some cool features like a one-handed mode which is great...

I'm definitely hoping they learn from the mistakes they made from BE, which was a huge letdown for me. I'm looking forward to seeing what they do and don't change from Civ V.

They're really changing up this game a lot from Civ V, but I'm definitely not opposed to most of the changes. I don't quite know how I feel about the aesthetics, but that's nothing a few mods can't fix. I read elsewhere that they're planning on giving the AI's personalities, which would be a ton...

I am a huge fan of the witcher series. I was pretty late to the party, but picked up The Witcher and The Witcher 2 games around two years ago and I was so impressed with how refined they were. The games were just so polished and the in-game environments are really well-detailed. I loved picking...

I actually thought the open world platform would make this game really cool for VR, just because that immersion into a different world would be very cool. Also, you'd be more apt to look around. Of course, FPS is really great for VR so DOOM would be made even cooler with a virtual reality...

I'd totally do the same. I really have no use for either because I'm totally happy with my phone and tablet situation. I'd rather not rebuy all of my paid apps, along with the accessories I'd be prone to buying for either device. If I had to pick, I'd probably choose the iPhone to give as a gift...
