    What games do you think were graphically well-ahead of their time?

    You're right. That said, I think that it is fair to mention that the delay, because of the leak, was mainly what robbed Half LIfe 2 of its graphical crown. If Half Life 2 had released in its originally intended release window in Sept 2003 (along with the ATI 9600XT/9800XT Steam promotion) I...

    Sony, Xbox, and Nintendo Won't Participate in E3 2023

    It's weird how quickly E3 fell apart. I was really following E3 closely back in 2014-2016 and it was still pretty much the biggest annual event in gaming at the time, every bit as much as it was in the 90's when I would read about it in Nintendo Power. I remember the BotW unveils in 2014 and...

    Upgrade / Buy New?

    Do you know how many posts the OP will need to get access to the For Sale/Trade forum? That is a legitimately amazing deal. I can't even buy a new Raspberry Pi 4 for that cheap in 2023. With that in hand, he basically just needs to get: - case - thermal grease - psu - gpu - ssd (SATA or M2) -...

    The Super Mario Bros Movie - Official Trailer (Teaser)

    I agree that there is a lot of risk here, and this is coming from somebody who has a deep love for the Super Mario franchise. I mean, we already have a history of atrociously bad Mario movies. The closest I have seen to a successful movie concept for Mario would have been Wreck-It-Ralph and...

    The Super Mario Bros Movie - Official Trailer (Teaser)

    Another trailer that I came across today. Nothing much new except that we get hear Seth Rogan's voice as DK:

    What game made you a PC Gamer?

    I was (and still am) mainly a console gamer. That being said, I have had stints in PC gaming from time to time. One of those stints was when I discovered PC Lemmings in the mid 90's, I just absolutely fell in love with that game and that was one of the few things that could pull me away from...

    Worst Game Ever?

    The worst game I have played was Tonic Trouble on the N64, which I had the misfortune of owning. I really go out of my way to avoid playing bad games and so I don't have a long list and not all of these games are objectively bad, just significantly worse than the reviews led me to believe or...

    Video Card for Minecraft

    Honestly, that is great experience for him. Good on you for getting him involved with this at an early age. I got into hardware when I was in high school and I had a real struggle with the learning curve because there was nobody in my family that knew anything about computers. I had to teach...

    The rumored RTX 4090Ti/TITAN

    A 800W TDP GPU means the PC's peak TDP is probably going to be 1.2 kW or something close to that. I mean, that is like 10A on a 120V circuit: that's got to be coming close to tripping a breaker in most households. I am excited for the people who can afford it (not me), but I know what you're...

    Closed.

    I mean, it depends on what format this timeline is going to take. Is this going to be a Youtube vid type format? If so, then I agree with scojer that PowerPoint is a good choice. On the other hand, is it going to be a visual timeline graphic similar to what I have shown below...

    Intel misses Q4 badly, Q1 guidance is abysmal

    I know that there is way more to these numbers than just the consumer desktop market along with a ton of factors that are completely out of Intel's control. Nonetheless, it just doesn't seem fair for history to shackle the 12th and 13th gen with such poor financial results when Intel appears to...

    New Shuttle LGA 1700 XPC Cube (SH610R4) Releasing Soon!

    Yeah, for some strange reason the PC63J (500W Shuttle PSU) is not listed as compatible with the SH510R4 (basically the same as the SH610R4). That said, the PC850 (850W PSU) is listed as compatible but it is not cheap...

    Ugly GPUs

    Well it was back in 2005, a time when it was OK for companies to acknowledge the reality that men enjoy the beauty of the female form. It would never fly today because it is too "offensive" to the feminists, also getting men thinking about women this way can result in new humans being born...

    Video Card for Minecraft

    Yes, the RTX 2060 uses an 8-pin connector and yes, the 6+2 pin connectors on your existing 550W PSU will work fine for that connection. If you are worried about this 10 year old PSU failing and you can afford a new one, then please feel free to buy a new one. That said, if it were me and if I...
