If it's anything like the issue I've seen with USB ports on cheap motherboards this will be a sporadic issue until they revise the port design or material strength. While it's nice you can correct it yourself it's certainly not ideal.

The 290 chips run at 94c pretty much universally, and manually taking control of the fan speed is not common and obviously differs from stock performance. As for your just wear headphones approach that's not a workable solution for most people. Most of the quality sets are open cans and a shit loud of people still use…

Outliers don't matter when the majority has no enthusiasm for this gen. This launch has fallen amazingly flat, and the XBO launch will be the same. At least when the 360 hit there was some excitement. The first games looked better than anything people had seen on the PC. Now I can get a better looking version of BF4…

That promise doesn't make any sense. They can't make games that don't already exist come out of thin air. You've got a solid year before there's any reason to buy a next gen console. Maybe more.

That reminds me, I wonder how many people are still banking on free online play with the PS4. Playstation plus has only been mentioned in passing a few times so there's probably a good number of people who don't know about it yet.

The big issue with this is that MS learned NOTHING from the backlash over these comments despite firing him as if to say they disagreed with his views, but then they go and announce an always online console anyways.

I don't get it. Did they decide to block the poke transporter? You can trade up from older DS games that were cracked wide open up to B&W. Then from them to the Bank and then from the bank to X&Y. So what's this about not being able to send Pokemon from the PC to the games?

I'm guessing there's either a frame buffer limit or fps limit that's letting them do more filters on the PS4 version, but the ironic thing about it is the XBO ends up looking more appealing to the average user. It's clearer and more vibrant, and it's a good lesson for why you don't want to just slap cinema filters on…

Is anyone actually excited? I and the people I've spoken to about it are like "whatever" about next gen. I don't see a reason to buy it or get excited until a truly polished AAA hits it which might not be for two years.

Are those shots from an old game? Bizarrely low poly count on the shoulder and arm in the second pic.

I have to wonder how many of these Razer voters even use their products. When I talk to real users only about half of them stick with Razer. The rest moved on to higher quality brands because of Razer stuff failing them over and over again. Same reason people have been ditching Logitech. Cheap switches leading to a…

What the actual fuck are you smoking? Does no one remember what happened with the PS3? Recommending someone buy a console right off the bat expecting they can flip it on ebay can ruin people financially. It's never going to work out like that. It won't be hard to find, they won't be unable to keep up with demand. Next…

This is how MS shot themselves in the foot with Halo 2 Vista. People were willing to move over to it, they were excited to do what they had done with CE, but then bam they blocked everything with the EULA and effectively declared war on PC gaming. In the long run it hurt more than forcing Vista and DX10 as people…

The Dreamcast was an early underpowered entrant into the next gen like the Wii-U. Comparing it to PSX and N64 doesn't make any sense. One of the big reasons it failed was people waiting for the PS2 and gamecube.

Is it confirmed that anything was running on the consoles or was it all on hidden PCs again?

Why is the groin area wearing a car bumper? There's no way that transforms down to car size.

Are these all by the same person? Because they're all terrible. The winning design is literally something I scrapped as a child from my fantasy console designs for being fucking retarded. This is not work worthy of pay and it should never be inflicted upon consumers.

I can't tell if that's sarcasm or what. The manga has plenty of discussion and intelligent world building. In the anime they take those conversations and make them 3 times longer by repeating everything they say in different ways and it zaps all the meaning out of the words and any point the dialogue was trying to…

The monologues and pacing issues aren't an issue of conversion, they're an issue of filler. If you had read the manga you might have noticed just about everything that's terrible about the show is filler related. They started this show about a decade too soon.

The eSRAM handicap and having half the shader count of the opposition are both notes very much worth noting. The gap between the two this gen is much more significant than last, though I'd say smaller than the ps2/xbox ONE gap.
