I haven't posted any new videos in a while, but I have big news! I'm excited to announce that I'm now a hardware developer at AMD! Unfortunately, I'll need to step away from CPU, GPU, and handheld reviews for now. I'll still be active here sharing tech insights while exploring

@Qwik You're right, I should tip the devs for a great single player campaign on MW3, terrific Season 1 and 3 of Diablo, and extra tip for Overwatch 2. As the former President of Blizzard, you're smarter than this... the problem isn't consumer behavior.

@IanCutress Linus was the defacto EIC and never really owned up to it. Once his operational scale blew up, he couldn't control it. Bottom line, they need more writers, testers, and editorial staff. Crazy how they got this far without any real organization.
