This weekend haul!

Hello everyone,

I have returned from a massive weekend of hunting around 2nd hand shops and came up empty handed in finding an Nintendo Entertainment System to convert into a PC.  After finally giving in I went to the local games store and picked up this lot to dry my tears with.

Magic the Gathering Born of the Gods Fat Pack, Battle the Horde solitaire deck, matte black protective sleeves. some spare D20's and my awesome girlfriend got me for our Anniversary a Magic The Gathering hand made blue / black deck box!

Truly Epic!

So I didn't come up empty handed after all!, thanks for reading and will get another post on what I got in the Born of the Gods Fat Pack!

Retro Hunting Long Weekend!

Greetings all,

I am on a four day weekend this weekend and will be travelling to my neighbouring city and have convinced my other half that we should do some 2nd hand shop snooping as well as charity shop snooping as well.  'For what?' you ask? For some retro gaming gear; that's right!  I am on the look out for any old NES consoles working or not working as the not working one I will donate to making something like this...

That there is a PC tucked inside an NES and I really want to build one.  Check my previous post for more details about the pictured Stealthbot NES here.  In my journey I'll keep a look out for anything else that is retro or just damn cool and try not to bore the missus out of her brain too much.

Killing Floor Office Romp Video

Latest gameplay footage of yours truly in Killing Floor, some epic gory moments were had whilst online with a team of strangers, certainly excellent fun.  If you don't own Killing Floor I'd suggest you buy it and get your friends to as well.  Because the Killing Floor six player co-op is undeniably awesome.  Playing it with randoms on your team is cool as well and more often than not they aren't dickheads... in my experience and compared to other games of the same nature.

Definitely not an ordinary day in the office

Dual Titans in one card

Nvidia CEO Jen-Hsun Huang has announced the GTX Titan Z and is set to be a monster of a card, built up of two Gpus based on the Kepler technology and 12GB of dedicated frame buffer memory.  This card will attempting to grab the market share in the next generation 5k and multi-monitor gaming market and most probably a hefty market share of your bank account too.

With two GK110 chips, TITAN Z is powered by a total of 5,760 processing cores, or 2,880 cores per GPU.

I am surprised he can lift it up with one arm

It will be interesting to see the real world statistics on such a card as Nvidia are claiming it to run 'cool and quiet' also the power draw is another factor to take into consideration.  Will it be worth Bit coin mining with the GTX Z Titan?, or has AMD captured and run off with that market already hence the focus on 5k and multi-monitor gaming.

As they say, only time will tell.
