This is a different review then what we have done in the past on the website, but change is good. I was provided with a LELO Lyla, a premium egg-like couple's massager with SenseMotion. SenseMotion is a technology where bluetooth signal is used in a wireless remote and the pleasure object varies depending on the set. This item is an awesome couple's toy which everyone should experience.

Subject: Dumping Cable for Netflix and Hulu Plus - by: NfamousZ24 http://www.lanocreviews.com/forum/9-reviews-and-news/22458-dumping-cable-for-netflix-and-hulu-plus?limit=10&start=10#22458 http://www.lanocreviews.com/forum/9-reviews-and-news/22458-dumping-cable-for-netflix-and-hulu-plus?limit=10&start=10#22458
I already watch 95% of my programs a couple days to a week later on my DVR Except for News and Sports and that is the kicker for me.

I <3 my sports and I have found where to watch some NFL games when it is blacked out in my area, but the quality is far from HD. I also like to watch Sportscenter, Around the Horn, Pardon the Interuption and is there anywhere to really watch that online?

Also what is the better ways to watch Netflix and Hulu Plus on your TV's? I have the mack daddy XBOX 360 I could use in the Living Room. Wii I could use in my daughters room. Laptop I could use in my bedroom. My computer in the computer room. Also can you use 1 account on multiple TV's? At the same time?

I basically need HD in my living room atleast.]]>

Subject: XFX R7950 DD Black Edition Overclocked - by: garfi3ld http://www.lanocreviews.com/forum/9-reviews-and-news/22440-xfx-r7950-dd-black-edition-overclocked#22440 http://www.lanocreviews.com/forum/9-reviews-and-news/22440-xfx-r7950-dd-black-edition-overclocked#22440

titleWith AMD’s new HD 7970’s rocking the boat slightly with both price and performance it’s about time we started to see the slow trickle of GPU’s that will fill in the rest of the HD 7000 series video cards. First on the list is the HD 7950, a card that a lot of people have been waiting for because of the high price of the HD 7970. There is no doubt that it’s not going to outperform the HD 7970, but how will this new card compare to the GTX 580? Today I’m not taking a look at a reference card, we have skipped directly to the XFX Double Dissipation Black Edition Overclocked version, similar in design to what we saw with their R7970.

Subject: HD 7970 Crossfire with 8.921.2 RC11 drivers - by: garfi3ld http://www.lanocreviews.com/forum/9-reviews-and-news/22427-hd-7970-crossfire-with-89212-rc11-drivers#22427 http://www.lanocreviews.com/forum/9-reviews-and-news/22427-hd-7970-crossfire-with-89212-rc11-drivers#22427

titleI recently posted up our HD 7970 crossfire results. AMD released their 8.921.2 RC11 driver update the same day as our last post. Here are updated graphs showing the crossfire performance with the new drivers. I still experienced flashing and artifacts when in game water was in view and our test bench would have odd lockups when left sitting idle for a while. The performance increases with the new drivers are impressive, I hope they work out the rest of the bugs. Two HD 7970's is the best performance you can get currently (short of adding even more cards, lol) but without the driver support its going to be a tough sell.

Subject: Cooler Master QuickFire Keyboard - by: garfi3ld http://www.lanocreviews.com/forum/9-reviews-and-news/22375-cooler-master-quickfire-keyboard#22375 http://www.lanocreviews.com/forum/9-reviews-and-news/22375-cooler-master-quickfire-keyboard#22375

titleEveryone and their mom have jumped into the mechanical keyboard party over the past year. Typically each of the keyboards has a fairly standard layout with a few small differences to help them stand out. When we saw Cooler Master’s new offering I was excited to see something a little different. If you have ever seen a Filco keyboard this may look familiar. The new Cooler Master QuickFire Rapid is a compact keyboard without a number fad for those looking for something that doesn’t take up very much room on your desk. Sounds like a perfect keyboard for going to LAN’s doesn’t it? We thought so, let’s take a look.

I have been waiting for this anouncment for a LONG time. Today Steam introduced their mobile app for iOS and Android. With the app you can chat with your steam friends and buy steam games. That means no missing out on sales because your away from your PC. We should be taking a closer look at the app here soon to see what else its capable of doing, stay tuned!


 


It should also be noted this is still in beta. The only way to sign up is to download and try to sign in. Some people will get to try it right away, others will have to wait a little longer

titleWhen looking at cases for your next build, there are several ways that you can go.  On the high end, you have a plethora of options and can spend hundreds of dollars on one.  Then, there is the middle-of-the-road good quality case.  For a budget build, there are is also a litany of options.  When looking at a budget case there are some sacrifices that you make for the sake of price.  Today we are looking at the MSI Raptor case, a budget case with some interesting options.  Does this case’s unique options make up for the shortcomings of being a budget case, or is this another case you should skip even on a budget build?  Let’s put it through its paces and find out.

Blizzard have announced that their massive annual convention won’t be happening this year. Instead, they’ll be devoting more time to finishing their many projects. “In light of our jam-packed schedule, we’ve decided to hold the next BlizzCon in 2013,” Blizzard say in a statement on Battle.net, mentioning that they’re currently “heavily focused on getting Diablo III, Mists of Pandaria, and Heart of the Swarm into players’ hands as soon as possible.”

gamingnews2Welcome to 2012 LanOC. I have been off for the last couple of weeks but it’s been a good break. With CES always landing in January, it’s a busy month. 2012 is going to bring new items and looks to Gaming News. I am going to try and hit on stuff that I feel is important, useful or just plain funny/stupid. I will also be doing more videos cause lets face it, videos are much better to watch then pictures. We have our Midweek Madness Sale’s back, Ubisoft is still being stupid with their PC games, EA has jumped on the stupid bandwagon with SW:TOR, Super Monday Night Combat is now in Beta form, and a couple of other things at the end. Ready to start your 2012 off right? Lets go.
