Running a credit check doesn't build credit. Building credit only occurs when information is reported to the credit bureaus. Pull your credit report and you won't find any mention of Verizon on your report because cell phone carriers don't report your payments to the bureaus. Unfortunately, a cell phone and…

I've been following the development of VorpX for a few weeks and it is looking really good. The z-buffer 3D seems to have better compatibility than the verio driver right now. It will be released as a commercial product instead of taking the open-source route of verio. Check out the writeup that 'Road to VR' did…

No need to apologize. The video itself isn't very clear, which is why I wanted to clarify - so others reading the thread would realize that there are two different drivers out there right now to enable 3D on the Rift for games that were not designed with the Rift in mind. You gave a really good a explanation of the…

This makes me even more excited to get my Rift.

In the video, Bruce is using a new driver called VorpX, not Verio like he usually uses. VorpX is actually capable of geometry 3d (using 2"cameras" and rendering the scene twice as you described), however it is turned off by default for performance reasons and it looks like Bruce didn't switch it on. The geometry…

It depends on the game and the method used to get it to work with the Oculus Rift. In the video above, the presenter is using VorpX, a third party VR driver.

This looks very similar to the upcoming indie game, Samurai Gunn:

Not all games that take a long time are bad. If a game is good, people just forget that it took a long time to make. Here are just a few examples

The video the Luke linked to was a 3D movie. You can see the SBS at the beginning, and the first time they open the menu they turn on 3d mode. Pause the screen at any time when the trailer is playing and you can see that the left and right screens are slightly different on the big screen.

This is quite possibly the best trailer since the Duke Nukem Trilogy trailer.

The funny thing is, when I played this game as a kid I never saw anything wrong with the premise for the game. It made perfect sense to me at the time.

I posted some excerpts from the US code and Apple Computer, Inc. v. Formula Intern., Inc. in another part of this thread which speak to the issue of software backups, but the case isn't exactly parallel to distributing game roms. Do you know any particular cases that speak to issue of game backups specifically. If…

You can thank lobbying from Disney for these continuous extensions.

I don't know of any specific case in which an owner of a licensed copy has been found in violation of copyright law by making a copy from another source. The law, as I understand it (and I am not an attorney, so I could be wrong on this) only specifically prohibits the distribution, not the obtainment of such of…

This is not true - at least in the United States. This is a myth that has circulated around for a long time but is not reflected in case law. This belief derived from the fact that copyright law allows you to create your own backups, but copyright law does not allow for distribution of copies - so if you didn't…

I'm in a similar boat. I purchased a PS3 soon after launch and then picked up an Xbox 360 later on from a pawn shop at a good price. However, over the last couple years I've found myself playing the consoles less and less and most of my gaming migrating to the PC. I'll have to see what Sony and Microsoft reveal at…

It makes me wonder how Sony will respond. They've been very cryptic in their responses regarding used games so far. At one point they did officially state that used games would play on the PS4, but technically Microsoft could say the same thing. Sony's statement that it would be up to the publishers makes me worried…

I posted this in response to another person's question, but I figured I'd copy it here if you are really interested in how the first sale doctrine works in regards to this decision by Microsoft:

My Apologies. After reading my first post, I realized that I wasn't quite clear and it did kind of sound like I was just rephrasing what you had already said. Let me try again...
