I'm of the same opinion. The Windows 8 UI transition may be coming as a shock and it is possible we may be seeing too much into it, but it sure as hell looks like Microsoft has been alienating a segment of its market since Windows Vista. I know I feel alienated and the desire to stop using...

Bet she had a mouthful of him.

Million dollar question is "What for, if it's not going to be available for sale, just like the 590 hardly ever is?" I confess, I'm not the biggest fan of NVIDIA strategy for its high-end cards. It seems just a way to stay ahead on the performance war, but one that never materializes into an...

You betcha. MAME since 1998 baby. Other than arcade machines, there's two other plaforms I'm mostly interested in: The ZX Spectrum. I use Spectaculator and ZXSpin to emulate a collection of around 400 games. MSDOS. I use DosBox to emulate a collection of around 8,000 games and software...

Feels cold outside, dontit? That's a blizzard. Nothing much to add to what you already said, Kayden. I wished I had said it myself. My mood is the same. Blizzard real money auction house was created with the intent to end the Asian trade business. It's so predatory this move from Blizzard that...

So as promised here's a more detailed explanation of the complications of 64 bit software development, along with a conclusion at the end wrapping up my thoughts on this matter. I hope I don't end up making a too long post that becomes boring to read. Key concepts Here I'm introducing some key...

You offering me one of the keys of the 4 pack is probably the only way you guys are going to see me playing Torchlight. :p Seriously though, with my decision to turn my back on Diablo II, Torchlight 2 suddenly becomes more appealing. I didn't like the first game. I felt the art too infantile...

Of course 1080p is a small number. It represents half of the monitors on Steam. But again you are looking at the game sub market. Not at the whole universe that comprises Windows customers. The instruction set architecture of a processor is transversal to its design. Every processor carries an...

There's other software that you may want to try that doesn't incur in that crazy update model. UltraMon DisplayFusion It's hard to debate which one is better. I personally prefer UltraMon. Cleaner interface, low memory consumption and allows me to define per-application rules.

But I think this will have some impact on the adherence to OpenGL; as Tharic-Nar points out, particularly on the indie industry, which is a whole lot more flexible regarding the tools they work with. Meanwhile, those triple-a studios that have migrated or created entirely new source code...

Hey Kougar. Was hoping you chimed in. My question was as much a provocation as a real desire I have for a debate on this matter. I think we are on a very important turning point in computer architecture, development practices and usage patterns, and very little is talked about it. However, I'm...

Figures. Anyways, other than dropbox, I've been using GMX file storage service associated with my GMX email account. It's a 2 GB service and it's a-ok. I still have to train myself in online storage. An area I'm not particularly interested in since I don't fancy the idea of being dependent on a...

There's some consolation to be had from discless consoles (look, I did a funny!). Disc readers have been traditionally the single most prominent point of failure on all consoles and its the largest source of console RMAs around the globe. Meanwhile, I wouldn't know why you'd get a physical copy...

Digital Distribution has been the bane of me too. But there's nothing we can do about it it seems. Like you, I prefer physical copies and browsing retail stores. In fact, even Amazon is nothing compared to the pleasure of moving between aisles in stores. Digital distribution alleviated some of...

Naturally we are closer today then we ever were. But it might take some 10 years more for the complete displacement of 32 bit software. I wouldn't know. No one knows in fact. We will only do when we suddenly realize it already happened. It took "just" 10 years to displace 16 bit platforms...

You probably said that just to get a reaction. You can't be serious.

I'm interested in one, but haven't ordered yet. The whole production delays are contributing to my confusion and, I must confess, suspicion. It wouldn't be the first time I left myself entangled in great promises and ended up with empty hands. Anyone who went through the Pandora handheld will...

Sad though that the actual channel they are advertising is crap. Law & Order, ER, NYPD Blue, etc... the actual drama is watching this garbage.

I think UPS needs to know about these emails. Many companies (UPS included) employ 3rd party companies that offer exactly these type of services. 3rd party companies that are often localized in fringe countries due to the associated low costs of employment. Some of these companies do a terrible...

It's not the lack of media keys that surprise me the most. Although, for sure, one must wonder why even a volume control is missing. What really make me wonder is this apparent tendency of new gaming keyboards to lack any macro keys. I'm at loss... And on the case of this particular one, a...
