We’ve got a new Big Black Box. It’s HOT! It lives in the Atomic Labs, besides Chernobyl, and is really quite beautiful. Its name is ‘Frozen Cascade’, and it’s the motherfrunken phase change machine from hell.
Here it is with the Atomic Labs Support Team:
[DAN PIC HERE]
Josh has been playing with it all week, racking up some insane numbers for next month’s Extreme Overclocking feature. In fact, we call the week passed ‘5 Gigahertz Week’.
Along the way we broke a few world records, and picked up quite a few more top 10s. We told you about that in this joyous gloat, which I expect you’ve all read.
Since then Josh has accumulated another 8 Top 5 scores, and we expect another wadful more by the end of next week. It’s a winning time, here at Black and Green HQ.
Also phat, I’m exuberantly happy to announce, is the triumphant return of Atomic merchandise! Yes, *finally*.
The ’07 range makes its debut at Atomic Live, and then shortly after, on the site. We give you:
NEW! Atomic Shirts
NEW! Atomic Caps
NEW! Atomic Magazine Binders
and
NEW! Atomic Stubby Holders!
Check em out at Atomic Live, and buy one of each, for everyone you've ever known.
Another HOT Live announcement this week is that we’ve got another cool gaming LAN for you to play and win at. Ubisoft’s GRAW 2 will be rockin with killer PCs, and we’ve got a couple of hot staff dressed up pretending to be spec forces badasses.
Summer’s here! Go outside and do something!
