To that effect, I've seen far less glare-y LED's than LCD's and Plasma's. Particularly plasma's.

I assume it was probably just that FF1 did so well and Squaresoft was dying at the time that they thought "Hey let's just call it FF2 so everyone knows what to expect." Kind of hopping on their own bandwagon. People didn't really follow developers back then like they do now. Also, statistically, Square(-Enix)'s non-FF…

seconded.

Gabe mentioned at Linuxcon that he'd be revealing what they've done on the hardware side of steam on monday.

last paragraph.

That's cool that they're meeting halfway. But I funded for 2 game keys :(

shit. Well then we could make the honest argument that I funded the tech demo that was pitched, and the tech demo failed to attract big investors.

I assume the 500k was never enough to publish the game. Particularly since custom hardware was on the table. The Kickstart was probably just enough to pound out the demo/playable teaser thing they released. Ultimately it came down to getting bigwigs to sign on to help publish the game. Which is kind of ironic because…

FUCK I FUNDED IT

Blizzard would be a big step for me. Ultimately it's just the games. Period. Every other tech program I use is on linux: Skype, GIMP, Aptana, Codeblocks. I would also really like to see Unity on linux(the IDE, not the DE) :P

I steer away from WINE because I still have my Windows partition. But I do have about 40 games on Linux steam including Dota, Amnesia, and Bastion. So sorry, tablecat, but I do have games.

On a related note, always be sure to remove your authenticator when switching phones, changing Android ROM and/or wiping your device.

What the hell was that music? Sacrilege. Blasphemy.

Oh dear god what I would give for a new Shining Force. On the 3DS would be killer.

Thanks! I've just loaded up Manjaro on my Lanbox, it's a prebuilt arch distribution with steam and I was really hoping the 360 controller would work! All that's left is to wrangle up a driver for my 5770 and I've got a legit linux gaming box!

It's not like you can just rearrange those sectors and have it run better, though. If you take that same game and funnel it from one disc to 2, it's still going to take just as long to load those textures. The only way they could really make it run better, is by making it request less data. The only way to really…

Really a quite genius way to get higher read times using all available inlets. I would think though, that the full digital versions would run like the full install in the video. Anyone on PS3 should take advantage of migrating their data to a 7200rpm drive over the 5400 that's in there. I upgraded mine, and there's a…

Further, here's a benchmark of a 4770k at stock vs. the 4960X.

The 4770 actually pulls ahead in some of the tests, particularly the single-threaded benches. Most games now would stress less cores rather than more, making the 4770 not only ideal in some situations, but I would also…

Well that wouldn't really be an accurate representation. The 7990 is a dual GPU card. It's basically 2 7970's in crossfire on one card. So the better benchmark would be 2 780's vs a 7990 or 1 780 against 1 7970. For that, here's this: http://anandtech.com/bench/product/…

And as you said, As it's an AMD technology,…

Do you mean how TressFX works on Nvidia? He's got two Nvidia cards in here. Upon release of Tomb Raider, AMD made a quick change to the way it's rendered, making Nvidia's driver useless and it ran TressFX extremely poorly. Shortly after, it was patched and my 670 could max the game no problem at 60fps.

I agree. The Ivy-Bridge-E statement is way out of line. Anyone complaining about the performance of a 4.7Ghz Quad core with hyperthreading is just ridiculous. I'll agree with you that hyperthreading isn't the best use for the extra hundred dollars, but I can guarantee that it will be used in the future. If you look…
