Actually I did great with the keyboard in Far Cry 2. It contributed a lot the decision of the devs to not emulate acceleration. Vehicles are relatively slow and one gets to top speed in a second or two. This is the thing that I find most difficult to handle with the keyboard. Not so much...

Absolutely! I'm not big on racing games, but there was a recent game that really made me more aware of the possibility of buying a gamepad. That was Just Cause 2. The game just didn't seemed built for keyboard, being much harder to play in that mode. Never came to actually do it, because the...

Somehow, I figured this had something to do with that... Anyways, I confess I didn't like your tone. At all. When the reviewer was saying the GD65 was top if the line, they were being factually correct (I, at least, didn't see any problem with that statement) even if there are other two boards...

Uh-oh... 1 more lan port yes. Had to confirm that. Thought that only the Marshal came with 2. As for CPU VRM phases, I'm sorry but I don't adhere to the typical blurb and hype. CPU VRM Phases is just another tag line on a product specification that everybody picks up but really is just another...

As I was reading the article, I never interpreted "highest-end P67A offering" as meaning this is the top board MSI has to offer. But since you are seem so adamant, let's make something clear... These differences between the P67A-GD65, P67A-GD80 and the Big Bang Marshal are all based around...

Yup. It's pretty much my stance too. Why I was pleased to see this company remove the DRM within days of the launch. I'd be even more pleased if the reasons had been cleared stated as "it no longer serves any purpose". But regardless, kudos to CD Projekt RED.

Ugh! Didn't mean to have you go on a quote hunt. Just if you had anything on hand. But thanks for the reading. Meanwhile I spoke with a friend of mine on the area of retail and he confirmed me ,DRM or not, they are contractually obliged to respect release dates, for which reason a DRM could be...

Very interesting. Never equated DRM with retail distribution. Do you have some material that I can read? Note that my hands-on experience with DRM has always been in the context of avoiding, delaying, or enforcing copyright infringement or protection. So, I certainly never saw it in that light...

It's out and it will remove the DRM from the game. It's possible that this decision has been motivated by the complaints of players that the DRM was impacting on game performance, while others where having issues activating the game. Adam Badowski, CD Projekt RED Development Director said...

Indeed. The company stock price despite consistent large winnings over the years is a good indication the company isn't "passing the message". A task that is that of the CEO. But I also have no doubt that a part of this is due to the "mobile bubble" hitting the markets who now think only...

The question is to OriginalJoeCool, but on my case it was just for an afternoon. I was mostly interested on the visual appeal and the usage paradigm shift. I wasn't so much interested in the solidity of the interface, bugs or identifying finished/incomplete implementation of features. Instead...

Well, with this one you can bookmark pages and even highlight passages of text. It's reasonable to assume it shouldn't take long for them to announce the All-New Nook Color. So you will probably want to wait :)

I've been test-driving Gnome 3 on my Arch Linux installation. I liked it, although my usage of Linux is almost exclusively console based for which reason I use a tiling window manager instead (for your reference, that's i3). Lots and lots (and lots) has been said on the web about the lack of...

I don't think wife would mind. She's seen enough to develop eye-rolling into an art form. But definitely not something I want to play around the kids. But you are right; maturity isn't the word I'm after. Simply that I don't have anymore the predisposition to enjoy this type of game setting...

Hehe, It's funny: As I was starting to read the article, first thing coming to my mind was 21st of May Rapture too. "Duke Nukem Forever is out, hell must be freezing over, chicken are growing teeth and the world is coming to and end. It's that swindler's Rapture." Anyways, I don't think I have...

That has been my major concern too. Like you, I didn't know much about it. But I was assured here (post #7) that it isn't vendor locked. I have quite a big collection of pdfs I bought elsewhere, pdfs I downloaded and pdfs I created that couldn't be used, otherwise. And that would make Nook...

Barnes & Noble has announced the New Nook, which can be pre-ordered for now and will become available June, 10. What they say: - 50% more contrast than the first edition (you can read in full sunlight) - Change text size and font - 80% smoother page turn and flashing minimized - 8 ounces (~225...

DX9 was pretty much a milestone (sort of ahead of its time) version, attested by games today still being at large developed around this version. All these good looks are possible only today, because at the time we simply didn't have GPUs good enough to handle all the effects DX9 made possible...

Yeah. It's an extra comma at the end of the link. Anyways, doesn't the usual "we are not responsible for what users make of the service" blurb apply here? Google's very foundation. Of course, pirates say thanks since the mere inclusion of "download" on a search string these days, has the search...

An eBook reader is the only think I'm interested in that isn't a desktop, a laptop, or a cellphone. I simply didn't adhere to the tablet craze and much less to the smart phones. And as for online access, that I reserve to my PC devices. The first thing I do when I buy a cellphone is to remove...
