12 Jan 2012 by Kevin Schulte
My mission is simple: Fly over the enemy’s fortifications and snap some reconnaissance photos. Resistance should be light, and I’m one of a three-man flight group. Fly there, fly back, land in time for breakfast. Easy, right? As my Spad XIII lifts off from the makeshift runway, Earth’s features slowly blending together beneath me as I gain altitude, I relish in the flight. This i...

19 Dec 2011 by Kevin Ivanca
This year I decided to use my holiday wish-list to build an entire desktop PC.

So from one PC gamer to another, here are a few essent...

20 Oct 2011 by Brian Nelson
I play a lot of video games on my Xbox 360, but occasionally I’ll switch things up and buy something to enjoy on my PC.
