Trade in your Violent, Nasty Video Games and get FREE Ice Cream... Wut?

Marin County has announced that people can now have 2 choices and the second choice is just weird.
Well according senator of the county and Ben & Jerry's are joining forces to defeat the evil video games and to calm the angry gamers out there who are just trying to load up the next chapter in their video games.

This is suppose to reduce "Violence in Gamers" which I find very moronic because there has been studies showing that only poorly made games cause violence within gamers, not well constructed games.
Mario Kart 8 doesn't make me want to throw a turtle and my friends whilst driving a go kart.

Well, if you live in California and you've got the munchies for Ice Cream, then why not trade in that copy of Call of Duty and trade that sucker in.

So what do you guys think?
Is this a great idea or is this just going to be a faze that'll soon die out?

Thank you for reading,

PC Tech News - GTX 970 specs and designs released

After months of rumors, speculation and so on, third party companies such as Asus have shown off their new line of GTX 970 graphics cards which will feature 4GB of GDDR5 RAM which is actually new seeing how GTX X70 cards are usually running with 2GB since the GTX 500 series GPUs.

The news was announced on Wednesday when Asus and many other companies announced their line of GTX 970 graphics cards, this also falls in line with Nvidia's 24 hour event tomorrow which they are said to be releasing the new GTX 900 series tomorrow.

The new GPUs are using the brand new Maxwell Architecture which is updated from the older Maxwell architecture from the older GTX graphics cards.

This is very exciting news for PC builders and just hobbyists who enjoy building PCs because these new GPUs are to be sold for £300 to £500 and have the same horsepower of the R9 295x2 GPU which costs at around £1500 (But they could be clocked in lower than the R9 295x2).

Here are some images of the new GPUs:

So what do you guys think? 
Do you want to upgrade or leave the card until the price drops?

Breaking News!! UK release date for Project Cars announced and possible leak

Well, a day ago the Project Cars developer, Slightly Mad Studios, has confirmed the release date for their latest car simulation game to be released in November on the 21st. Now this is for the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game, however, on Amazon UK I discovered something odd, the PC version was said to be delayed as well as the Wii U version to 2015, however, Amazon UK has leaked them as to be released along side the PS4 and Xbox versions of the game.

This could mean that delay was just a minor set back that they have now fixed or this could be a mistake on Amazons behalf, I'll make sure to let you guys know if I get some more information from Slightly Mad Studios about this.
