    Epic Games Presents the "Chaos" Physics and Destruction System Demo

    Finally something that could make use of all the cores on my next CPU, most likely the top end Ryzen 3xxx.

    ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 2070 O8G GAMING Review

    Last sentence in the review: "The ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 2070 O8G GAMING video card to have for the best 1440p gameplay in today’s latest games." Needs editing. Very nice review all around. The ASUS cards are really nice. I loved the 1070 STRIX, quiet and reliable.

    Halo: The Master Chief Collection Is Coming to the PC

    Googling Halo yields so much stuff. Can someone give me a 2 sentence run-down about what this game has that is new, or what it should be compared to? I found out it's a sci fi shooter of sorts, is it like Prey? And is it SP or MP only, or both? Is the SP any good? Just looking for a few nuggets...

    Controversial Game Pulled by Steam after Outcry

    I would put it this way: anyone should be allowed to build whatever game they want. But if I were a publisher, I would not even consider using my platform to publish such garbage. Steam made a call according to their moral system. People who make comparisons aka "if they censor or publish THIS...

    [DEAD] ZOTAC Gaming RTX 2080 AMP for $660. New, not refurb. Free Ship, Possibly No Tax

    I found it worth posting to the discussion of the deal, particularly because some folks there had trouble getting it to work. One extra click..

    [DEAD] ZOTAC Gaming RTX 2080 AMP for $660. New, not refurb. Free Ship, Possibly No Tax

    I just ordered this, the deal is legit. It's the ZOTAC Gaming RTX 2080 AMP for $660. Free expedited shipping, no tax outside of NY it seems; at least I ordered from PA and paid no tax. You have to read this and go through that link. I had to put this in my cart twice to see the discounted...

    Google Starts Selling Edge TPUs

    I'm wishing for AI to make a real difference in games. Can it make for smarter, more believable, more diverse enemies in SP games? I'll always have a PCI-E slot ready for that sort of thing.

    Man Who Made Hoax Call In Deadly Swatting Seeks 20-Year Term

    I hate the advocacy for sexual abuse so frequent in these threads. Not just here. This guy is being made an example of, something that in itself shows a weak justice system. I have no sympathy towards him or the crime, it's horrible and outrageous he did what he did. He should absolutely go to...

    The End of Blu-ray

    Please tell me if I am being ignorant but IME this started with DVDs and got much worse with Blu-Ray: I have to sit through commercials for other productions etc before I even get to a menu where I can start a movie. I've had a bunch of DVDs like that and eventually said fuck it. Streaming...

    Mimicking RTX Global Illumination with Traditional Graphics Techniques

    To me, the 2080Ti at $800-$900 would have been okay. Let me have a 2080 for $600-$700, 700 being a nice Asus card, and I'm alright. As it is a nice Asus 2080 on sale will be $830 and we don't have to talk about the Ti's. Now you can call that misplaced but that is the exact sentiment I read a...

    Left Alive Trailer Features 14 Minutes of Gameplay

    The textures and the level design do zero for me. Looks bland.

    Password Manager Vulnerabilities Exposed

    It really is time for better encryption everywhere. Then again how many people have been compromised with key loggers, where no encryption will save your bacon? But I digress. Encryption is good and should be more plentiful, and most of all, well-implemented. It does help. Some of the...

    Disney Removes Advertising from YouTube in Response to Child Exploitation Videos

    2 seconds of that was too much. I think this sort of thing needs to be handled on multiple fronts. Yes, Youtube could be faster/better, that'll always be the case. People need to have conversations about uploading content with their children. Quite frankly, I never have seen the need to upload...

    Metro Exodus RTX Settings Analyzed

    The next x080 card probably will be really nice for high-refresh 1440p RTX gameplay. That shall be mine.
