    PC Support Reps Tell Users to Uninstall Windows 10

    I always tend to wait for a new OS to ripen a bit, but I'm surprised it's coming from vendors. They're shipping PCs with Windows 10 on it right now!

    What Excited You About E3?

    Kingdom Hearts 3 looks great, even if Square was such a troll about showing it. And Street Fighter V looks great. Will need to get a new fight stick!
