You know... now that I've watched that. That's pretty horrible. Also, I think you are right. That's what he meant. I was overthinking it when i suspected that he was hopeful that it was powerful enough to run an awesome application that would be perfect for a touch/stylus interface. iSad

Yeah, but yours is a hell of a lot more entertaining! It would break my heart to see that done to an iPad or an MS Surface.

Frosted mini wheats now and forever. I do like the occasional box of raisin bran. I CANNOT eat oatmeal. How do you eat that stuff? It looks like it's already been eaten once!

I've been saying all year that my next tablet will be a Windows 8 tablet. This confirms my conviction to ditch iOS this year. I'm a little fed up with feeding the Apple monster and this will get me back into my comfort zone. Windows and I are frenemies of many years and while we don't always love each other we have…

I believe that the reference is to [www.blender.org]. Blender is an open source program for creating 3D rendered drawings. It can create 3D still images and videos. When I say 3D I mean objects that are rendered as 3D components and blended with others to create an image. It's not necessarily for 3D like the 3D…

That's a crappy and stupid way to treat a journalist. What a dumb ass. Take the keyboard back from him next time, Katie. Don't let morons run you over like that! I think you'd be shocked at the response from these people if you put your foot down and tell them you want to test it out for yourself. People get…

They are cute! The outfits are awesome. This reminds me of when my two kids were tiny and cute. Now they are teenagers and they are not cute. I don't know how they got to be experts at everything without ever actually doing anything.

If you live at home with your mom and dad, are 21 years old, and have money to sit around and cheat at games all night after work, you need to get off your dead and very sad ass and get an apartment. Time to man up and live like a grownup. You need to cheat at games because you fix phones as a "job" and it's too…

I'm not terribly interested in flaming anyone. I read a lot. I enjoy a lot of 19th century literature and Shakespeare. I have never understood how liberals equate being open minded with NOT being conservative. This has always baffled me. Just because someone disagrees with your political views and does not support the…

I loved Borderlands. I finished it on the XBox 360 and then bought it again for my laptop. I sure was disappointed in the ending, though. I thought the game was awesome and the story was really cool and then all of the sudden it just ended like the developer ran out of money or time or something. The last boss…

It is very cool to get the unfiltered truth from a company. I can see how a game developed specifically for a console platform could quickly become a nightmare to port. In the future major studios are going to have to take a leadership role in demanding a reasonable set of standards to get games on the shelves at a…

You know. I'm a controls programmer. I'm a damn good one. I have years of experience programming computers, microcontrollers, and PLCs. I could build something that cool easily. Why don't I ever do cool stuff like that? Right now it's probably because I'm working on a good case of CTP in my Diablo III mouse…

Here's how I handle BSOD. If the BSOD occurs immediately after I've done something major like upgrade my video driver or add RAM then that's where I go first. If the BSOD is random and nothing has really changed, I backup my data and do a clean install of windows. If it still happens after a clean install I start…

That's really not very uncommon. I doubt very much that it's fake as some suggest. I can go to the plant where I work tomorrow and open any number of computers that are just as dirty and running perfectly. I used to think computers needed to be clean to run properly. This is true of high end hot running performance…

I still like magazines. I still like them in printed format. Digital is where the game blog is... specifically Kotaku. Print is for tight and carefully edited prose because print cost money to produce and space is a finite resource. There is absolutely nothing wrong with game blogs. They are great! However, I do…

The serious nature of making a decision regarding crafting a piece of equipment with three random properties or breaking down equipment is a compelling feature of the game. Online only is not necessary to implement that feature. Not having the ability to quick save and reload is what generates the persistence of the…

Simpler times! We have an understanding of computers that is difficult to attain in today's world. A programmer today must catch up on thirty years of hardware and software development to truly understand why we do things the way we do them today.

I remember the first real computer I ever saw. It was in 6th grade math class and it was an Apple II. I was immediately drawn to it. There were four of them. I had to finish all my work for the day before I was allowed to sit at it. Then I would ask the teacher what I could do with it and she had no idea. She…

This represents everything that can go wrong with DLC. I've got nothing against Dragon's Dogma nor DLC when it is done correctly. This is clearly game functionality that was sliced out in order to tweak more money out of gamers. It's as simple as that. If 8 pawns existed when the disk was stamped, then there…

I need to check this out. I'm a huge fan of Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas. This will probably be relevant to my interests if I can stop playing Diablo III long enough to do anything else.
