But ya, ASUS and AMD might get back into the race of things. Intel has been slipping in stocks too when matched up against ARM.

The games come as a DRM-free executable. They aren't "Steam games" but you can launch them from Steam if you add them to your library. -b0b (...admittedly not a regular customer.)

Apparently, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher have been approached about starring in the next Star Wars film. Interesting!

Quote:

Harrison Ford has already said he's interested in reprising his role as Han Solo in the upcoming Star Wars Episode VII, and now his Star Wars co-stars Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are looking to revive their characters Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia as well, according to reports.

How does one "write out" Luke Skywalker from Star Wars?
