The song "Let It Go," from Disney's smash hit Frozen describes Queen Elsa's decision to embrace her own magical powers and abilities rather than continuing to hide from her people -- and herself. It's a turning point for the character and hugely popular; Let it Go is the first Disney single to break the Billboard Hot 100 Top Ten since 1995. So what happens when you take Team Fortress's Heavy Weapons Guy and send him on a similar mission of self-discovery? Hilarity happens. That's what. It would've been good even if the creator had just animated Heavy singing along to Idina Menzel's vocals, but creating Heavy's own personal lyrics and Autotuned singing (dubbed Heavina) takes the concept from clever...

The Elsa Gladiac Ultra It sure is fast...but you'll pay for it! By Marco "BigWop" Chiappetta - November 14, 2000 Anyone who remotely follows the PC hardware scene has no doubt become familiar with nVidia and their very aggressive product cycles. Ever since the Riva 128 was released, nVidia has consistently and quickly released a new product every 6 - 8 months, that is faster and more feature rich than it's predecessor. Not all of these releases are for completely new products though. Some of these products are referred to as a "refresh" release. Take the TNT2 Ultra for example. The TNT2 Ultra did not offer any new features over the...

Elsa's Erazor III & Revelator 3D Eye Glasses ! A Dynamic Duo! Click for larger image What's better than a hot new TNT2 based AGP card? How about a TNT2 based AGP video card bundled with 3D Stereo Eye Glasses? We recently received Elsa's new Erazor III TNT2, 32MB AGP card and it came with a nice surprise, The Revelator 3D Stereo Shutter Eye Glasses. The market first saw 3D Stereo Glasses with the early days of the Voodoo2. Since then, things have improve dramatically with increased resolutions and refresh rates. In addition, this 3D Accelerator / Shutter Glasses Bundle is supercharged with the power of the Nvidia TNT2 Graphics Processor. Coupled with the TNT2, the...

Elsa's Erazor X - GeForce & Revelator 3D Shutter Glasses Breaking out from the "me too" crowd. Now that NVidia GeForce based cards are beginning to flow more freely, the race is beginning to blur a little with many vendors producing "me too" products based solely on the NVidia reference design. This is a look at a new GeForce based card from Elsa that has the promise of something different versus the other GeForce cards on the market. This guy looks like he has an Excedrine headache. Probably because he works too hard and doesn't play enough Q3 on his Erazor X! When we opened the box of the Elsa ErazorX we were pleasantly surprised to see that Elsa didn't follow...

The Elsa Erazor X2 GeForce DDR Double Data Rate Fun Over the past few months NVidia clearly has taken the lead in the 3D graphics race. First we saw the release of GeForce based card from various vendors like Creative, Asus, Guillemot, Leadtek and of course Elsa. The second round of GeForce based cards were designed the way the GeForce was truly intended to shine, with DDR SDRAM memory. This type of memory allows for reads and writes to it on the rising and falling edge of the clock cycle, effectively doubling the available memory bandwidth to the GeForce. This type of memory is more costly than Single Data SDRAM but it really allows the GeForce to perform to its full...

The Elsa Gladiac Based on the NVidia GeForce2 GTS With 32MB DDR SDRAM By Dave "Davo" Altavilla 6/4/00 Graphics Card reviews are probably the most regularly covered material that we produce here at Hot Hardware. Perhaps that is because there is an almost dizzying array of manufacturers to choose from. Regardless, Elsa has been known in the market for quite some time as a quality Graphics Card vendor with years of experience (15+ to be specific) in design and manufacturing. In addition, keeping pace with 3D graphics technology, Elsa releases products with every 6 month new release that the graphics chipset giant NVidia, can dish out. This is our take on...

The Elsa Gladiac 64MB DDR GeForce 2 GTS You Do Play Games, Right? By Marco "BigWop" Chiappetta 9/24/00 To say the video card market is saturated with GeForce 2 powered video cards right now would be an understatement. With nVidia being the last of the major chip vendors, they are the only real option for companies like Elsa, Creative Labs and others if they want to compete in the hot 3D card arena. With multiple companies trying to compete against each other with essentially the same product, deciding which one to spend your hard earned money on is tough. Today we?re taking a look at Elsa?s offering in the 64MB GeForce market, the Gladiac 64. This isn?t one of...
