Hunted: The Demon's Forge


Just a really quick post.

Hunted: The Demon's Forge is almost here to be exact, it will be released on Monday, May 30th, roughly 1 day and 11 hours to go. You can pick it up via digital download through steam or pre-order the old fashion way at Gamestop/Best Buy.

I have to say this game looks like its going to be a lot of fun. And being set in a new world people have never seen before is a fresh sight. This is something Bethesda Softworks is really good at doing, creating original worlds for hardcore RPG fans and casual gamers to explore and conquer. I have already purchased myself a copy along with gifted one to a friend so we can hack and slash our way through the hordes of the underworld in CO-OP.

CO-OP seems to be turning into a must have for games and to be honest I think its a great way to sell a game. The majority of games out there that have amazing single player would have been even better with CO-OP (*cough* Battlefield Bad Company 2) or hell even just a multi-player. But anyways if you want to know more about the game head over to the official website of Hunted: The Demon's Forge by using the link below.

New tower!

Hey everyone.

So for the last five years I have been building and upgrading my own PC. It all started the day I fried my first motherboard. Oh the memories are coming back. Wait.. back to the post at hand. My computer has evolved into something more than just a hunk of metal but a really hot hunk of metal with my most recent purchase of a NZXT Phantom case. This is hands down the easiest case to work in.

Now let me tell you this case is amazing. Not only does it hold all of my hardware neatly, it has room to spare. The overall design of this case is amazing and the layout of the case is flawless. If you feel your components are getting too hot inside your case well NZXT thought of just how to fix that problem.

The case features 3x120mm fans, two of which reside on the left door panel to cool your hard drive bays and one on the rear exhaust(like usual). It also features the ability to have 3x200mm fans, one on the left door panel and two exhaust fans on the top. Also the front panel allows for another 140mm or 120mm fan for even more intake. Now your probably thinking, holy hell thats a lot of fans how am I going to power them all. Well NZXT thought of that to by placing a fan control on the top of the case and with just one 4pin power plug you can power every fan in the case and have the ability to control their speed with the slide of..well.. a slider. Now not only does the case allow for multiple fans it also has multiple screen meshes to allow other components the ability to vent. The bottom of the case is drilled with vents but also the right panel has a nice mesh vent. I have to say the overall airflow design of the case is out of this world.

Now when you think, damn this thing has 7 fans, you probably are wonder where the hell all the cables are going to go. Well again NZXT though of that as well. The cord management design is amazing. I have never seen another case able to tend my multiple cables and somehow I found this case really easy to do just that.

The design of the case had me questioning the purchase but I have to say its grown on me. I think the look is very sleek and professional. It feels very well manufactured. And looks great alongside my Razer products. Well enough babbling about it, how about some photos.






So there you have it. My most recent build to my computer. Below are the specs.

Fun Texas Holdem App




Hey everyone. Came across a new app a week back while sitting on the bus and felt it deserves more attention!

And so like many of us, we often find ourselves sitting on the train or bus for our daily commute or sitting behind a computer at work contemplating how to sneak out without the boss seeing you!


Enter Texas Poker. This app is just plain fun and really easy to use. You can even log in with your facebook id and as you can see, play with other real people from around the world. If you're a fan of poker but hate playing in person where people can read your bluff, well then you defiantly have to check out this app. And to boot, its free! You can't go wrong. So give it a shot.
