Re: Computer shutdown during very specific load/activity
I'd start with the memory dump, but that's certainly not for everyone (I just have a lot of experience with that) 
that Bad Pool Memory error means an internal kernel structure has been corrupted or misused, it's hard to say much about it without closer analysis.
It sounds like the RAM is borderline but will pass memtest - possibly it fails only sporadically at higher temperatures. These kinds of issues are the worst :\ To confirm, you could try coaxing a failure out of the ram at elevated temperatures with memtest + a hairdryer, or careful application of a heatgun (don't want to melt the solder) - Or try swapping out the ram set and see if the problem goes away.

Re: Returning to Folding@Home in 2016
Cleaning my fans and flipping the rear exhaust around to make it an intake has dropped my temps by 10c down to an average of 77c @ 4.2 1.28v - 1.31v. I had to flip the fans on my Noctua HSF around so they pulled air from the rear of the case instead of the front. Long story short, I have my CPU slot set back to -1 on the F@H client so my PPD on the 3770k should be back to normal.

What happened to the new champ select? I've been searching for answers, but can't seem to find any... (maybe I'm not looking hard enough)
They rolled it out for certain modes, namely ranked, in certain regions. It did okay when they first launched it in NA and Turkey. Then they released it to a few other regions the next weekend. It blew up. They're still working on it and plan to have it out Monday to some region, then the rest if it doesn't blow up again.
Source. Full explanation there.

Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power(4.9 hours): I was all for the 3rd Trine. Loved the experience from 1 and the desire the developers had to build puzzles that you could solve correctly, brute force several ways, or glitch in solutions. Trine 2 wore on me a little as the puzzle solutions were geared more towards a co-op play. Trine 3 had me all set to fall back in love as it was built on the Frostbite engine and the puzzles were more single player focused. In the end I felt let down and will most likely not buy the 4th game in the series.
Trine 3 stuck with a fairly side scroller feel but with several 3D elements. Your view generally only progressed from one puzzle section to the next, granted this could be side to side or front to back. I feel this concept could have been great if it was more of a paper mario/fez approach. Hit a hot key and rotate the players view 90 degress so your side to side action is now moved to the plane of your old front to back. What you get instead is a side scroller that has depth without camera control that destroys your depth perception. Jumping up that wall?! Nope, you are to far into the foreground and just landed in a death pit. Pontius felt OP for solving the puzzles this time around but this is a funny issue to me as Trine 1 I leveled Amadeus to brute force puzzles while Trine 2 Zoya seemed to be the go to for clearing most "I almost got it but am getting frusted" situations. You have a side missions that don't add to backstory or plot development the way they start out. You are also forced to collect X number of triangles to unlock levels because they removed leveling characters, dumping the character customization felt like a very positive choice for how the game was built. Most of the bossish battles felt dull and tedious due to the 3D issue. The final boss felt very solid. All pattern based with standard escalation, this was the best part of the game.
uuuuuhhhhhhh guys?! Whats with this story? Everything ends like this is Trine 3 episode 1......and there is a reason. Seems the series will most likely be dead. Call me crazy but pulling a weird one and switching to episodic releases work but would take $20-$25 launch prices. hhhrrrmmmm this has really left me with a weird feeling. Kind of fun and kind of annoying.
