Zero Punctuation: Borderlands 2
*quality
Ha he's on form with this one for sure. Despite me not liking the graphical style at all it does just strike me as boring. And all that nonsense about zillions of guns? Really? It's just a huge grind. I'd rather have a focused corridor-shooter with finely honed mechanics and a great story. Yes I'm awaiting the next Bioshock game.
Train approaching... Please remain behind yellow line
It may not look it, but here is a link to a YouTube video where they clock it on radar: http://youtu.be/biCs3OM5-ns
This particular video I linked to was shot in North Kingston, RI where the Acela runs at it's max of 150mph. I posted this because I just read a news article yesterday that they were running some tests over the next few evenings at 165mph: http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2012-09-24/news/bs-bz-amtrak-high-speed-test-20120924_1_acela-trains-acela-express-northeast-corridor
You can read more about the speed that they go through stations here: http://discuss.amtraktrains.com/index.php?/topic/32743-how-fast-are-acela-trains-allowed-to-go-when-passing-through-stations/
>> ^charliem:
There is NO way in the world they are running at full speed.....the deuce are you talking about? Unless these things are bloody slow trains, the ones in melbourne race through stations on express services faster than that, and they only have max speed of about 130kph....AND they slow down for the stations!!
CryEngine3 - Tech Trailer (Crysis 3)
I run 2560x1600 graphics and like to pull as many fps as possible. Also I gotta disagree I have a hellacious goodtime playing todays visceral FPS shooters multiplayer online.>> ^Fletch:
At least the next dumbed-down piece of consolized crapola will look pretty. Unfortunately, it'll still play like a frickin' console port.
@deathcow Why do you need to upgrade anything? Like every other potentially decent PC game in the last 5 years, it's being designed for Xbox and PS3. If you can run other recent FPS's, this should be no problem. I'm still running Core2Duo (oc'd) and a 5870 (also oc'd). I have another, still brand new 5870 sitting on a shelf that I just haven't been bothered to Crossfire yet. Haven't needed it (been sitting there for about two years; but maybe this weekend...). This is a corridor shooter. It has to be in order to run on consoles without choking. Even the outdoor areas are claustrophobic.
It's sad that there is so much emphasis on graphics over substance nowadays. It's the only thing game developers have left to convince PC gamers that they aren't selling the PC version short, even though it isn't the lead platform... better graphics, more graphic options, higher resolutions. I don't give a shit about "Pixel Accurate Displacement Mapping" or "Tessellated Vegetation", and if the game is worth playing as a GAME, you won't even notice it. Doom2 is still more fun today than any of the consolized dross released for PC in the last 6-8 years.

Zero Punctuation: Half-Life
>> ^shagen454:
I think hands down my favorite FPS ever is System Shock 2 with Half-Life coming close.
My favorite games ever are all tied though. Planescape: Torment, Bladur's Gate 2, Fallout 1&2 and Alpha Centauri. Half Life and SS2 close and Homeworld close by to there, Thief close as well.
They certainly don't make FUCKING awesome games like they used to, everything is hand fed to a stupid gamer populous. I don't remember the last time I was challenged and simultaneously immersed in a game.
SS2 is the
firstonly time I've ever been truly freaked out by a game.I was walking, creeping more like, into a large storage room, when all a sudden I decide to turn around and a head-slugged dude apparently, silently, followed me out of the corridor I had just "cleared" and screamed "KIIILLLLLL MEEEE!!!!!" and fucked my shit up.
I actually screamed.
Dumb Homophobic Christian Takes Stupid to New Depths
@spoco2 @messenger @bareboards2 I think this is a great discussion.
I'm a SharePoint Consultant and Software Engineer from North Carolina, but I'll be honest, I disguise my accent when I'm speaking with clients, if only because it sounds strange to my ears to say "Let's talk about your information architecture" with a drawl. I'm also not truly a native, having only lived here since high school.
That said, I deal with locals on a daily basis who are both highly technical and very southern. Accent just doesn't equate to intelligence. A better metric would be whether they go to church on Wednesday night (although some of the finest software engineers I've worked with have also been devoutly religious, so w/e.)
In North Carolina we have centers of civilization, usually areas surrounding the I40 corridor, and then we have the boonies. I would invite you to come to Chapel Hill or Durham on a Friday afternoon and have some drinks on the patio.

Diablo 3 Stress Test Weekend! (Videogames Talk Post)
>> ^berticus:
For people who want a Diablo-style fix but think Blizzard are making a dick move with the online only nonsense, perhaps you might like these:
Lineage Eternal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABcBFGK5B4w
Torchlight 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpXQO76bjrY
There is also Path of Exile, which looks interesting. It will also be free to play when released.
The beta was unplayable for me here in Aus due to the lag, in single player. Good work there Blizzard!
I also dislike how the outdoor areas are corridors and not open spaces.
So I think I'll give D3 a miss.
Sixty Symbols - How Do 3D Glasses Work
Ya, I did notice the extra information was nice in a certain way. I remember in avatar, the simple action of walking down a corridor had more depth because of the...well, perceived depth. I like the idea of 3d, I just don't want to compromise! Short of goofy headsets, or retinal scanners, I don't think my slightly unreasonable need for fidelity can be realized. That said, has any one done any 3d glasses gaming? My card supports it, in theory, but it is ancient and I don't want it to explode.
>> ^deathcow:
I wont argue your point, but I can say for sure the extra depth information gained by using two eyes offsets the resolution loss to some degree.
Santa Claus Gets Beard Caught In Shopping Mall
Judging by those corridors packed full of people with their children waiting for Santa, I would say it's not only Santa that seems to be failing.
Future of Motion Control Gaming
The future of gaming: more corridors.
Japanese floor tricks you into being a good pedestrian
yeah... kinda of a good yet, completely stupid idea.
If you're walking in a crowded corridor, you're not looking at your feet or at the floor, as the amount of people around doesn't permit you to do that.
