| How to Make a Bench Power Supply From An Old ATX PSU Posted: 04 Apr 2014 02:00 PM PDT  A bench power supply is an extremely handy bit of kit to have around for electronics hobbyists, but they can be expensive when purchased new.

| Bypass Georestrictions By Changing Your Smartphone’s DNS Settings Posted: 04 Apr 2014 01:00 PM PDT  DNS tunneling services allow you to access geo-restricted services just by changing your DNS server. In other words, you can watch American Netflix or Hulu by changing one setting. Services like UnoDNS and Unblock-Us aren’t just for your computer. They’ll work on smartphones, tablets, and even game consoles. If you’ve set up the new DNS server on your home router, you won’t have to change your smartphone’s DNS server as long as you’re connected to your home network. However, when you leave your home and use a different Wi-Fi signal, you’ll have to change your DNS server to keep accessing...

| 5 Incredible Games Based In The Wild West Posted: 04 Apr 2014 09:00 AM PDT  No genre is as iconic as the American Wild West. It’s the only one to blend elements of exploration, establishment, and expansion with a healthy dose of cool cowboy heroism.

Save for a few outliers, most Wild West video games have been buried beneath the sands and forgotten to the passage of time. However, if you want to inject a serving of the Wild West into your gaming sessions,... Read the full article: 5 Incredible Games Based In The Wild West |

| Sons Of Anarchy and Dexter – Two Shows Tailor-Made To Be Video Games Posted: 04 Apr 2014 07:00 AM PDT  Recently, South Park: The Stick of Truth came out to rave reviews, and it reminded us all that just because a game is based on a licensed property, specifically a TV show, it doesn’t have to be bad. Sure, plenty of bad games release based on movies and TV shows all the time, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be done right. All it takes is a developer giving the property a little time and effort, and a TV show-based game can be just as good as any other property. All of this got me thinking — what other TV...
