If I were a pop singer, this is a fate worst than death.

Logan. Pretty much the mutant version of Road to Perdition, but it also causes mantears.

And more details have been released, apparently it was a suicide by hanging of all things. The officials called it hanging, but then his relatives and friends say he had a problem with Ativan, a strictly-controlled drug designed to cut down anxiety but had side effects. In any case it's a terrible ...

I'm considering about getting a Ryzen to complete my build but Microsoft wants to end W7 support for newer hardware. Duh, fortunately hardware manufacturers still make drivers f...

gargantuan loading times Shouldn't be a problem with a PC and an SSD drive but on a console... -------------- Finally got the free versions of Starcraft and Saint's Row 2. The former it's for keeps, no more cd-keys. The latter was indeed a buggy ride. Despite that the game was almost a decade old, ...
