    Buy a digital game and get a promotional credit for Kung Fu Panda HD @Amazon

    I bought a book also. Still going on today it seems.

    PS4’s PS2 Emulation Won’t Support Discs Or PS3 Digital Purchases

    I highly doubt such a license is legally binding, especially considering there is not even a basic clickwrap agreement presented when you run a game. I've never agreed to such a license or clicked any buttons that would enter me into a contract when playing a PS2 game.

    PS4’s PS2 Emulation Won’t Support Discs Or PS3 Digital Purchases

    Eh, I don't think he was promoting piracy. I have been playing PS1 and PS2 games on emulators for years, even prior to getting a PS3. Always from disk. I have had 2 BC PS3's and they both ended up getting YLOD and are no longer repairable so I'm back to using emulators for PS2 and PS1 games. PS3...

    Official List Of Xbox One Backward Compatibility Games

    I was hoping Dark Souls would be on the list. Don't care about Dark Souls 2 since a remastered version is available.

    Time to upgrade from AMD to Intel. (Prefer not to wait for Zen.)

    Do you also run your virtual machines from SSD? I suspect moving your virtual machines to solid state storage will have a bigger impact than upgrading your processor.

    AMD Radeon R9 Nano Video Card PAPER Launch @ [H]

    I was seriously interested in the Nano when I heard about it until I saw the price. I guess I'll keep rocking the 7870 XT for a while longer. The Nano was in the right TDP range, approaching enough % increase in performance and being smaller would help a bit in my current build. The 7870 XT gets...

    Bandai Namco Humble Bundle: Dark Souls, PACMAN DX+, Ace Combat and more

    To those of you that have Dark Souls already and have played a significant amount: How is the PC version. I've heard rumors of bad things, but am not sure if these were because early versions were poor and things got fixed or if the PC port just sucks.

    CPU Progression (2015 update)!

    My parents started out with a 286 and I used their machines up through the early Pentium era. Here is my complete list of CPUs I personally owned along with their stock clock speeds. When I acquired video cards is somewhat hazy. I've listed most of them, but I believe there were a few others...

    Perhaps I am interested in upgrading from a 3570K if that is the case.

    Uber Is Recruiting Old People As Drivers

    Thanks for the graph. If you didn't include it I was going to find one. Interesting bump at 45-49. Is that when people start to get shitty vision, but have yet to learn to compensate? The curve up at the end of course is your whole body going to shit on you.

    Windows 10: Your thoughts so far?

    Your systems have been being fingerprinted since the XP days. I had to call because I couldn't activate back then after a bunch of hardware changes. After too many hardware changes/reinstalls using the same XP key the servers (5 in a certain time period if I recall)refused to activate if the...

    Microsoft Launches 90-Day Windows 10 Free Trial

    Or you need a year of MSDN. I know MSDN Pro is like $1199 for one year. $749 or $799 to renew or something like that. Is Enterprise worth $1200 to you? You do of course get a bunch of other OS licenses as well and the terms are pretty generous (when the year is up whoever the account was...

    Extracting your Windows 10 Product Key After Updating

    I feel fortunate to have an MSDN subscription. Click button. Get key. Install fresh. No nonsense with upgrading, extracting key, then installing fresh. I think I'll go through the update process as soon as I burn an ISO and write down the key anyways though. I want to know how it works because...

    Uber Is Recruiting Old People As Drivers

    Don't want more old people who can't see or drive well on the road. I don't want to be driving when I'm old either. I've got my fingers crossed for fully legalized robocars to drive me around before then. The tech will be here at an affordable level soon, it's just a matter of making sure laws...
