Yeah, you could build a computer for about the same price as the Xbox One, but then that computer would be hamstrung by the bloated, horrible Windows OS, making the console faster. . . Wait, I think I just made an idiot out of myself.
Blast Corps was awesome. On the other hand, since Activision recently lost the James Bond games, maybe it is going to be a new 007. Though since most of the people who made Goldeneye such a great game have already left Rare, I am none too excited.
Uh, I actually have not owned a Nintendo Console since the GameCube, which I thought was a rater decent console, but not as good as the PS2. So, I am no fanboy, I have merely spent the last nine months researching the industry, its finances, and emerging technologies. Usually I would expect brighter people to hang out…
Did they say whether or not the GPU and CPU will be cast in the same die?
For what claims? The fact that GPU based programming is far more efficient? Or the GPUs of the Wii U and PS4 are not too different? Never mind, I will do neither, because I am tired of explaining things to someone who has called me an idiot, and yet cannot seem to read or write beyond a grade school level.
Then you obviously have no idea how programming works. The Wii U is set up for GPU-based Programing. Nintendo intentionally wanted this because the new generation of GPUs can perform tasks that were once exclusively tasked to the CPUs. The GPUs can handle them much better and faster, while saving hundreds of employee…
Well, considering that I was talking about the comparison to the Xbox 360 and not the coming generation, I suppose I should feel complimented that I was called an idiot by someone with the reading comprehension of an eight-year-old. Thank you, sir.
The WiiU is vastly more powerful than the XBOX 360 and the PS3. The WiiU's processor is an updated version of IBM's Power PC processor, while the 360 has the same thing, only about 6 years older, thus less efficient. The WiiU has about four times the memory of the XBOX 360 and PS3 as well, the only thing it lacks is…
. . .and some people say that romance is dead. . .
Just when I think that I have a grip on the extent of human stupidity, someone comes along and proves my conception wrong, fully shattering my simplistic notions of stupidity. Honestly, I have no idea why I am still surprised by things like this, but I get the feeling that I may be the truly stupid one. . .
His hair was almost necessary for the PSX graphics. Play through the game again, and you can see that his hair almost acts like a cursor of sorts showing you where Cloud is and what direction he is facing in the wide-angle long shot backgrounds.
Well, my instructors in college were Dr. Margret Rolland (Medieval Literature). James Burke (M.A. Gaelic Studies), and in Ireland, Sean Ryder. I do not know Sean's degree, because the Irish never use honorifics like Dr. or Mr. There are any number of books containing the word, but they are written in Gaeilege, in…
It is traceable to oxford, as are words used in Britain associated with sailing, like adrift, afloat, asail, etc. These are English words using the Gaelic verbal noun form, instead of "Sailing," "Drifting," and "Floating." The influence of Gaelic on English is manifold, especially considering that Gaelic is the older…
Both actually. My training is in Medieval Literature, particularly Arthurian and Gaelic literature, but also classical lit from Asia. This entails a strong knowledge of linguistics, but the reason I got into the field was because of the Suikoden games, based on the "classical" Chinese novels, and other games that…
Nothing online. The attempts to create an Irish Gaelic dictionary online have been laughable at best, as one Irish linguist joked, "some elders in rural towns have such a vocabulary that they are determined never to use the same word twice." Oddly, Vsauce gives no citation for his Etymology either, as his links at the…
I mentioned this in the Youtube comments as well, but he is actually quite wrong about the etymology of the word "soccer." It is actually a Gaeilege Eire dig at English sportsmen, a play on the word "Oscar," meaning warrior. They flipped the O and S to jab at the absurdity of football players. It was later adapted for…
