You would think, looking at Craig’s Computex reports, that writing for Atomic is a paradise of robots and babes.

Which it is, of course. Why, earlier today we chooffed off to the launch of a thing called the ‘Roboquad’. More on that soon.

But if you read between the lines of Craig’s obsession with foxy babes and cardboard robots, you’ll also discover crazy hidden joys, like the insano 2000w PSU, or the 30cm HSF.

Check out his Computex reports if you would like to know more. Day 1 and 2 are there for your satisfaction, with the Day 3 report coming later this afternoon.

Dave’s also put together *the* definitive guide to Codecs. The internet will never be the same again.

Plus, hang on to your hats, because at 6pm tonight we’ll be posting a major preview of Bioshock, the truly stunning new game from Irrational – the System Shock guys. It’s quite a treat.

We hope you have a lovely weekend and it’s not raining. Unless you’re in Brisbane, in which case we hop it buckets down and fill that poor lonely dam of yours.
