| NVIDIA Updates GeForce Experience With Improved Customization Posted: 05 Dec 2013 07:30 PM PST  NVIDIA graphics card users that have the GeForce Experience app are in for a treat, as the company has launched another rather large update for the program that allows customization of game settings right from the app. This provides users with the option to forego the recommended settings and go with those that they know will suit their system best. As a GeForce Experience user myself, I love that it knows my system and tunes the games to work properly for it. The problem comes from the fact that it automatically changes my games to run in full screen, and... Read the full article: NVIDIA Updates GeForce Experience With Improved Customization |

| VSCO Cam For Android, Reviewed: A Hipster Haven, Or What Instagram Should Have Been?

Oh right, there’s this Instagram thing we gave you newbie tips for and shown you who to follow on. You may not remember this, but Instagram started out as an iOS-only app, which was mainly populated by photo buffs and artistic types. That’s before it got bought out by Facebook. Well, if you long for those days and are tired of Instagram’s overly processed photos, you should look at VSCO Cam, a photo filter app that’s made a...

| Build A Custom Windows 8 Start Menu Using Toolbars Posted: 05 Dec 2013 02:00 PM PST  Is the removal of the reliable, familiar and perhaps loved Windows Start Menu the most controversial thing in computing ever? When Microsoft announced that Windows 8 would be released without a Start button and accompanying menu, there seemed little sense in the decision. After all, Windows 7 was probably the most efficient version of the operating system yet, in terms of how quickly a user could switch from tapping the Start button to finding the file they needed or running their preferred task. To drop the vast number of possibilities that found a home in the Start Menu was an... Read the full article: Build A Custom Windows 8 Start Menu Using Toolbars |
| Video Games Releasing In December That You’ll Want To Play Posted: 05 Dec 2013 01:00 PM PST  As far as months in the fourth quarter of 2013 go, December is looking a little empty. Perhaps we were spoiled by the craziness of the Xbox One and PS4 launching, along with all the games that came with them in November. Plus, we had Nintendo dropping a new Mario game on the Wii U and a new Zelda game on the 3DS on the same day. Yes, November was something special, but don’t worry, because there are some good games hitting in December, they just aren’t the big AAA experiences we received in the month previous. Tiny Brains Tiny... Read the full article: Video Games Releasing In December That You’ll Want To Play |

But the ammunition is a bit weak: the first wave of titles hasn't had anything to make you sit up and take notice. Granted, Microsoft reckons the Xbox One is about more than just graphics, but come on, it's a video game console first and everything else later. But there's good news for gamers. While what's come so far may not have been great, there are some pretty awesome offerings once you turn the calendar on December 31. Here's what we are most looking forward to…...
