Picked up Red Orchestra on the Humble Bundle weekly sale. Anyone got a review before I shed whatever few GBs I have left on this hard drive?

Monitor is stunning so far. It's an Auria, some Korean shyt. Thing is they use the same panels that are found in 1440p Apples / Dells. They can be had for $400 a pop @ Micro Center. (Online/In-Store) Have only gotten to test Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite so far,

Screenshots really don't do it justice since Steam compresses them,

:wow2:
Shipping is $30, but I think I might be saved with tax since there is no Micro Center near me. I've been bullshytting on these Korean joints, but I might have to pull the trigger on these in about 3 weeks (Birthday)

I dropped this in the HTPC thread, but I thought i'd pass it along in here too for my fellow HTPC gaming brehs.

ASUS unveils GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU Mini graphics card destined for little rigs

It's easy to chop and change components in spacious towers, but small PCs need upgrading, too. If your stunted desktop has fallen into the "minimum system requirements" category for the latest games, then maybe the newly announced ASUS GeForce GTX 670 DirectCU Mini graphics card will interest you. Quite the mouthful, we know, but its long name contrasts with its small size -- the dual-slot, 2GB card measures 6.7 inches on its longest edge, shaving almost 3 inches off the reference design. There's no reason you can't put the card in a regular case, of course, but it's intended mainly for compact rigs with mini ITX or micro ATX motherboards. We don't have pricing or release info yet, but if the cost of NVIDIA's GTX 670 is anything to go by, expect to drop at least a trio of Benjamins on the petite version. Glamor shots and all the finer specs are available at the source links below.

The Witcher 3 is DRM-free - "If someone wants to pirate the game, he will." - Cvgworld | Cvgworld

The Witcher 3 is DRM-free – “If someone wants to pirate the game, he will.”

CD Projekt RED has confirmed its open-world RPG will be DRM-free, the developer told Kotaku that the studio is trying to move away from DRM altogether.

“We are trying to get rid of DRM,” game designer Maciej Szczesnik said. “If someone wants to pirate a game, eventually he will.”

“Which is bad, of course,” managing director Adam Badowski added. “But you can’t do anything about it, so. We want to give the best user experience possible. When we removed DRM, people on those torrents were actually asking people not to download our game, because we weren’t using DRM.”

The Witcher 3 is slated for PC, PS4 and other next-gen platforms.
