Even though we had a long list of affiliate news yesterday, we have a similar size list one again today. Everyone has been busy pumping out their reviews before Gamecon. If I had to only pick one to check out, I would recommend giving the AMD HD 7950 Boost Clock BIOS Update over at techPowerUp a look.
I hope everyone had a great weekend. Our affiliate news today is packed full with lots of great reviews for you guys to check out. I would recommend taking a look at the Corsair Vengeance 2000 Wireless headset from Techgage. I recently had the chance to check this out as well and really enjoyed it.
Is it really already humpday? Things are moving along quickly this week. Even though things have been a little quiet on the site, we have been hard at work with LAN upcoming along with a few other projects we can’t tell you about just yet. I will be out of the office for the end of the week as well. I hope everyone stays safe while I’m away!
Welcome everyone, it may be hard to take, but we are back around to a Monday again. Those of you who had the weekend off will have to get back to work. But we do have a list of reviews for you to check out while at work. Enjoy!
Hey everyone and welcome to your end of the week affiliate news roundup. We have more than enough to keep your mind off work for the next few hours until you can finally head home. One review to check out is from hardware.info. They put two GTX 690’s to the test in SLI. Quad Kepler goodness is always a great way to end your work week, if you ask me.
We have reached humpday and those of you going to Quakecon this weekend are already on your way or packing and prepping for your trip. I would just like to wish you all a safe trip. For everyone else who is stuck at home we can enjoy a few reviews from our affiliates.
I almost forgot how much I normally work over the weekend until I opened up our news email this morning. Being a day behind we have a whole bunch of reviews from our affiliates for everyone. Most notably there are a few more PSU reviews than we would normally see and a few Nexus 7 reviews like the one from our friends over at Legit Reviews. Google Nexus 7 Tablet Review @ Legit Reviews
It’s hard to believe it’s already Friday again and we at the LanOC offices are packing up our rigs, getting ready for a little LAN gaming this weekend. With the release of a whole mess of games that I am excited about upcoming in the next few days I will most likely be taking any free time I can find and putting it into gaming. For those of you who won’t be out LANing it up this weekend, here is our list of affiliate news for you to check out.
Yesterday we were a little behind working on publishing our review, so today you guys/girls get a double dose of affiliate news. Our friends over at Techgage posted up a nice read - The Android Dilemma - An Open Platform Open to Piracy? @ Techgage
Unlike its leading competitor, iOS, Android is about as open as a traditional desktop OS. As such, piracy is no stranger here, and some developers speculate that the situation is made worse by the fact that it is in fact "open". We analyze that and other thoughts, and try to evaluate whether or not closing Android would solve anything.
It’s a rainy day in northwest Ohio today, but that doesn’t stop the affiliate news from coming in. Today we have a whole list including a good look at the MSI GTX 680 Lightning from over at Hard OCP.
All good things have to come to an end, that’s something to keep in mind today when you get on looking for more amazing deals like what we have seen for the past week and a half. Steam’s Summer Sale officially ends today, although I wouldn’t be shocked if we saw a few more deals today like we have seen after past sales. To help you morn, we have our affiliate news postings from the weekend. This should help keep your mind off things for a little while. Once you are done, load up and put all those new games you picked up to use!
It’s finally Friday and you can almost taste the weekend. We have a couple affiliate reviews to help get you through the day. One is even the same Corsair Vengeance 2000 Wireless headset that we recently reviewed as well. Take a look to see what they thought as well.
Hey guys and girls and welcome to your Thursday affiliate news. I hope everyone’s week is going well and if not, just remember the weekend is almost here!
It’s hard to believe we have already made it half way into this week. Now that I picked up the expansion pack in the steam summer sale, Tropico 4 seems to make all of my extra time vanish. I better hurry and finish up our affiliate news for the day before I get sucked back in! Enjoy
The steam sales continued all weekend, I hope everyone picked up a game or two to play at the LAN this fall. To help your pocket book I have listed out all of our affiliate reviews to keep you distracted.
With the Steam Summer Sale in full effect some of you will need something to keep yourselves busy while waiting for the next flash sale to pop up. Once you are done reading our write up of the Lian Li PC-TU200, here is a full list of reviews from our affiliates. Enjoy!
