Hey folks. I’m performing some maintenance at the moment and restoring the blog back. Someone (myself) dropped the database on their way out for apparently no reason at all. I’ll be back at the end of the week!

In the time being – enjoy the nice Tear-Down of the EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 by GamersNexus.

OH! Bethesda announced the Creation Club. Paid MODS right? Nope. That’s not true. Checkout the FAQ here. Yes. I actually look forward to see great things. I would say their entire BI / SCM and PR fucked up in communicating and presenting this new vision Curated Mods.

Video: Overwatch Network Graph Explained

by

Overwatch is a great game and so far I’m enjoying it and whenever I have time I start playing OV. It’s just so simple. Start the game, enjoy a round or two and comeback later – or spent the entire weekend with friends and keep playing Overwatch while you neglect everything else. Great!
