I'm disappointed. It's a pretty standard generational increase in performance, the mid range encroaching on high end territory. The Price is the same as launch last generation though. It just seems like a steal as they're launching after the Nvidia high end. It's all marketing, just like the...

I'll be getting a "reference" 1070 from an AIB and putting a Corsair/NZXT hybrid cooler on it with an H110I GT

There's talk from most people that they'll briefly go back to the $400 price tag after christmas, which is generally a slow time anyway, and then announce a permanent price reduction at E3. We'll see. I think they'll just keep the price reduction from the get go, and forego a periodic raise in...

And what's the proportion of Self Made Billionaires of all College Drop Outs? Probably extremely low. Genius level people, motivated innovators and the just plain lucky will get by no matter what. Unfortunately, no matter what, they are a very small portion of the population and their life...

I'm into it. I disagree with people who think this isn't classic Blizzard. This is exactly what Blizzard is and does. Art Style: Warcraft 3 was the start of this sort of art style. The last game with "dark/adult" style art was Diablo 2, 14 years ago. Warcraft 3 came out and everything...

Oh Samsung. Oh Nvidia. Oh tech industry.

Hahaha. PwC is headquartered in London. Not San Jose. The specific group taking part in the survey may have been from San Jose, but they are not a San Jose based company.

It's Destiny press week, and the articles of first hand impressions from a play test earlier in the month are coming out. More info is sure to follow this week from Bungie themselves, as well. Here's a good resource for all you can read information...

RNG is RNG. You can try to build Magic Find gear and whatnot, but drops will still be subject to their random drop system. Actually, pretty much all you can do is try to build Magic Find, run higher tier Torments (or run lower as fast as you can, for more drops) and run it with 4 people...

I run 40-60 all the way to the icefields. Then I drop to 30-50 with the occasional high 20. Ice King hits me at 28.

Trailer for this Season's GT3 Series with the newly added BMW Z4 GT3.

Saw that this morning. Definitely shady by DICE. Thinking back to playing yesterday, I can identify a half dozen times when that death shield likely came into play. I'm trying to get the Phantom Prospect assignment done, so playing a lot of hallway maps, and there was more than a handful of...

That screenshot is actually pretty sweet. The one thing I don't like about the PS2 engine though, is the draw distances feel tiny. It could be because you see so much, it feels tiny, but it's actually huge. Though, all I remember from PS2 is seeing very little detail in the distance, and when...

I really enjoyed that video. After struggling with trying to not buy into iRacing over the past two years, I've finally succumbed. It's simply the best and most reliably accurate sim out there right now. Assetto Corsa has some real potential, but it's incompleteness leaves you wanting...

I have to say, I am absolutely disgusted by what seems to be a large faction of the fans over on the H1Z1 subreddit. In the thread created by smedley asking for input on how to monetize the game, I would say at least 60% of the people commenting are asking for straight up Pay 2 Win scenarios...
