Mind of UPSLynx for the week of October 4th

Bobby Miller October 9, 2009 10:19 AM ET in Tech

This week I retreated to the safety of my home where I cannot be bothered by Dunigan and his boozing antics. I also come bearing a beard; get your man on, Icrontic.

NVIDIA talked and gave us some goods regarding their stance on Bullet Physics. Left 4 Dead 2 is pulling in an incredible amount of preorders and is on track to be one of Valve’s best selling titles yet.

Also, big news with [redacted], so definitely don’t miss that! Thrax tells us how to upgrade from RC to RTM once Windows 7 is released, and the final boss of Icrontic, Primesuspect, is chosen to be on the judging panel for Last Gadget Standing at CES 2010. Finally, I have an old Dell, and it is no longer working.

If it’s Friday, it’s Mind of UPSLynx.

    All I can say is that for once, I'm glad I can read lips (took me about 5 times of replaying it though)! Lol!

    Less bleepy bleepy more juicy juicy.

    And no way did you throw that computer over the edge! Sounds like a recycled sound to me. Funny stuff though.

    I have such a baby face. I can't do this, or Movember, or anything like that.

    But I think I'd look like a bro-bag with facial hair, so it is for the best.

    No hate, just unfair. It's the whole apples to oranges thing, you know?
