The Wolf Among Us by Telltale Games – PAX 2013

The Wolf Among Us was the best game demo I played at the show. The combat was intense and visceral… and it was pure quick time events. I really really enjoyed it though. Probably the most interesting thing about it is the fact that this is just episode one and the devs are planning to use anonymously collected user data to tailor the experience of the future episodes to the way people are playing the game. We live in exciting times!

Asus Maximus VI Formula Unboxing & Overview

UPDATE: Here’s what ASUS has to say about their aluminum liquid cooling implementation: http://rog.asus.com/262892013/maximus-motherboards/mixing-alu-and-cooper-is-fine-if-you-anodize-right/

The Maximus VI Formula from ASUS is (in my mind) as good as it gets without starting to spend money on things that will never matter. It looks great, has an awesome onboard sound implementation, and has pretty much every feature you could want.
