5 Video Games That Should Be Movies [MUO Gaming]

Many modern video games play out like movies, with strong storylines, fleshed-out characters, and action sequences that surely give even Michael Bay pause for thought. And yet when it comes to actually making movies from video games, Hollywood and its film-making sister cities around the world have failed spectacularly.

If you really want to give your computer a speed boost, try switching to a solid state drive, short SSD.

Join Enemies & Allies In A Blazing Tank Battle With NetPanzer [MUO Gaming]

I should start off here by saying that I've tested out a lot of networked games in my time online, and I think I would only recommend less than half of them. Usually it comes down to either game quality, or lack of participants. Sometimes it's just the fact that even though the game is awesome and there are lots of people online all the time, the game is set up so that long-time players can just sit there and massacre newcomers.

10 Of The Funniest Hitler Reaction Videos (Downfall Parodies) Featuring Technology

Downfall, or Der Untergang in German, is a film detailing the last days of World War II in April and May of 1945. It's an often uncomfortable portrayal of a dictator facing the end; of the war, of his beliefs, of his life. Unfathomably a meme around a particular scene from Downfall has propagated on the InterWebs like wildfire. It takes the German-spoken video of Hitler being told all hope is lost but places English subtitles over the top suggesting what is being said.

Install Android Ice Cream Sandwich On The HTC HD2 In Minutes

Last week I was challenged to install Android Ice Cream Sandwich on the HTC HD2 in as little time as possible. The reason? It was my client’s lunch hour; she was sick of Windows Mobile and she wanted to play Angry Birds. The request came as no surprise; the setup and installation time for Android on the HP TouchPad is easily inside 30 minutes, so I happily accepted the challenge.

What Do You Really Think of Windows 8? [You Told Us]

The release of Windows 8 is, at the time of writing, a mere three months away. The time to make sweeping changes has passed, and Microsoft will be unleashing a version of Windows 8 very close to the preview versions we've tried and tested (and in some cases dismissed out of hand) here at MakeUseOf.

4 of the Best Wedding Proposals on the Web

Fact: I'm a romantic. I'm one of those guys who loves love, believes in strong, lasting relationships, and... well... watches chick flicks. I watch them quite often (don't judge me, okay?). Now, I'll be honest in that I'm not always the most romantic person in the world. You won't see me delivering flowers any time soon (however, I once gave my girlfriend beef jerky in lieu of a bouquet once).

Using Facebook Friends Lists For Interests Or Circles [Facebook Hack Or Tip Of The Week]

Is Facebook driving you crazy? Most people who use Facebook generally view the home feed in its unfiltered form, which means they're seeing updates from friends, acquaintances and pages all lumped in together and shown according to how popular Facebook deems each update to be. Not only is this method going to show you important updates from people and pages you don't care for much, but you'll miss less popular updates from people and pages you do care about.

They are not the Oscars or the Grammy’s. Heck, they aren’t even the Webbies or the Appy Awards for the man on the street.
