yup, sounds like the bearing, but i'm not sure it is worth the hassle of replacing the bearing or the fan for the price of a power supply. You could try though. Antec make psu noise killers, but i'm not convinced of how much they would help.http://w...  [Read More]

i may have this a bit wrong, but i think i saw some stats that said: gamers.. male (6-18) = 21% female (all ages) = 28% male (18+) = 45% ...ish. But anyway, the average age of gamers is rising (and will hopefully lead to some more mature games (ma...  [Read More]

i'd say successful kicks do 5% damage, knock the player back and leave tehm open for a 1/2 second. More powerful kicks might also knock down. However, any hit whilst in a kicking animation should do 50% more damage....  [Read More]
