I get asked this all the time. What kind of computer specs are good enough to run games that you play? Most of the people I know are console gamers. That doesn’t bother me a bit. I’ve ran through 5 xbox 360′s in the past 4 years. When the fifth died, I was lucky enough [...]

No one really knows what the iPad is intended for. It reminds me of… a giant iTouch if you will. Many complaints have hit the internet by storm.
