If you read the books, you'll note that Drizzt didn't really tell anybody in Neverwinter of his involvement with the Primordial. The character that had the most contact with Neverwinter, Artemis Entreri, didn't even really do much outside of defending the town against Thay's/Szass Tam's forces during the battle with…

The GTX 590 was released almost 3 years ago. You don't have to buy a card every year, and certainly not at the $700 level.

It's not that the Steam keys aren't included - these games just don't have Steam versions. There have been 3 Mobile Bundles and 6 Android Bundles. I believe they make the distinction precisely because the Mobile Bundles are mobile-only. The Android Bundles come with Steam keys and Win/Mac/Linux versions if available.

If anybody has a Micro Center near them, they should be buying a CPU from them. The 4770K is $200 there. You can get one and part of a motherboard for the same price as the Amazon unit, even counting tax/fuel (in-store only).

PC gaming was in no danger of going extinct in 2003-2004. In fact, that was the period in every console cycle where PC gaming has a resurgence - PC hardware far exceeded the hardware in the 1999-2000 era consoles (PS2, Xbox, GC), and so people were once again able to afford powerful gaming machines with a relatively…

Legend of Zelda Nintendo eShop Titles are 25-30% Off Through Nov 21st

We recently posted a bundle pack of HDMI cables that included one of these adapters, and while the cables were cool, lots of people were super excited about the added convenience of the adapter. Well, today you can get as many of these adapters as you want for $1.55/each. Essential? No. Convenient? Very. Cheap?…

It's more like 75%-80% if you give the cards a resolution and/or game that stresses them. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforc…

It could have been a contender... actually it kind of was. The 27" version of this monitor came in at #2 in our Best Gaming Monitor Voting.

The matchmaking servers are the listening servers I mentioned.

I'm not the one doing a comparison, but yeah I'd relish it. I'm a PC gamer. Longevity and value trumps the consoles, which is why Steam is going so strong. Free doesn't hurt, either.

You're comparing console sales to online accounts. Please tell us more about context while you compare apples to oranges.

The developers don't have to pay for multiplayer if we don't. On console or PC, devs have to program the multiplayer regardless of what service actually hosts the games for players. They can do peer-to-peer, which means a player's machine hosts sessions, or client/server, which means a dedicated machine hosts…

Video doesn't run at 60-120fps, nor do you have to worry about any angles not shown by the camera. Also, not of your content (if it's video) is subject to player input. I can see where you're coming from, but what you're working on is not at sensitive to latency as a video game's physics would be. Again, if you tried…

I've already read that link. What they're explaining is because they can offload hosting duties from any and all players connected in a session, without having to pre-purchase dedicated servers, or asking players to rent/create servers. MS's cloud will be present and dedicated virtual machines can be allocated on the…

This video and article only talk about dedicated server support. And I agree, dedicated servers are the only way to go for this game or any other multiplayer game. It reduces load on each player's hardware, makes it more fair because you can locate servers geographically between players to balance lag, and you can…

What exactly do you think cloud computing can do for physics calculations in realtime? You'd have massive latency issues generating 30-60 frames of PhysX and waiting for them to come back to you from the Internet. There is a MASSIVE bandwidth difference between what goes on between the CPU, RAM, and GPU vs. what goes…

The effects are the same, because the calculations for PhysX (collisions, particles, shadows, extra debris, etc.) are the same for any particular level you're comparing. However, the frame rates are vastly different between AMD and Nvidia cards when PhysX is put to medium or high. So yeah, you're kind of missing…

Take a little time and think about why he'd take this picture. Don't worry, we'll wait.
