I've just found that it loads much quicker, and when I do use the Start UI, it's pretty nice for organizing when you have a large amount of programs or shortcuts, so you don't clutter your desktop. Also, it has a quick access menu at the top right corner for settings and such, which is nice.

Windows 8's main UI (the desktop) is the same as with Vista and Windows 7

the Metro UI is your start screen, and you have a normal desktop where all your programs run. Some programs are made to run in the start screen, but they usually have a normal window version too. So no, you aren't forced to use it, and actually the star screen is good for organizing shortcuts and links pretty much.

I have the preview for Windows 8, and I feel it's loads better than windows 7. However, I don't use the metro interface at all. I just run things from the desktop as usual.

They did make an edited non-seizure inducing version of the episode. They're not allowed to release it though apparently.

if you already grabbed it, and already payed above the average, you automatically get the new games. if you payed below average you can add to your donation to make it above average.

he was probably recording the video at a lower resolution, and the screenshot (he was taking it through steam) always saves to full resolution, and then he can upload it to his steam community page.

Quake 4, it has a pretty good campaign
