Hey I just wanted to officially welcome the gang from  AthlonOC and Overclockerz on as KGR3 sponsors!! They had shipped me out a Killer hard drive for the KGR2, but through a series of miscommunications, it wound up here for the KGR3!!! Good prices, great service. . . that's all an overclocking fool like me needs!!! Check em' out. . . 

More interview goodness -Steve
I have a cooler than cool interview with none other than Lowtax from Something Awful. If you are a fan of Something Awful and JeffK like I am, you'll love this interview. 

Rich "Lowtax" Kyanka

Rich answers some pretty serious questions, including he's ongoing relationship with Levelord. . . getting personal letters from Jason Hall and again. . . . questioning CliffyB's sexuality. Heh. . . a great interview guys.

Weekend Interview / Giveaway -Steve
One of the coolest MoFo's I know has graciously granted Hypothermia an interview. . .  Mark Dochtermann from Ritual Entertainment has taken a little time, sat down and answered a buncha questions for us. 

And to go along with this interview, in good old Hypothermia fashion. . . we are giving away a few autographed copies of F.A.K.K. 2 to some lucky bastards... so sign up!!

Over the next week to ten days, I will be switching over to the new site design. . . send me any comments or suggestions to me. . . I am interested to hear them.

Hola Freaks. . . I may be busy doing the whole website switch ( to the new design ) and the regular HardOCP thing on Tue-Wed. . but I managed to get Chris Rhinehart from Human Head interviewed. . heh... good stuff, and I had been waiting for awhile to get this one online.

First of all, I sincerely apologize guys. . . I have done the equivalent of "locking your keys in the car" except the car was my site, the password and login were the keys and for a week, no one seemed to know how to get me back online. . . AGGGGHHHHH! ! !  ( a little NOD to Kyle at HardOCP for letting everyone know I was having trouble getting on the page. . . ) And a huge thanks to Cliff for getting me back online!!! Woo Hoo!!
