The point of tech showcase is for seeing an advancement of technology. It's not like the people whose job is to make a game fun are the same people that design the graphics technology. No more than the designer of a leather car interior invented the tech that made it fast, yet fuel efficient.
The point is to come up…

So this guy doesn't use mods very much, and believes that people don't buy games expecting mods.
Yet for so many new games with a modding history in their former titles people complain that the lack of modding in said new title was dumbing down the series?
Why is he talking about consoles? I thought his was a PC topic?
I…

Not a fan of doub

That green onion trick is great, and those things cant freaking die if they are in an actual garden, they just keep getting bigger and even survive winter.

I was so proud of my tomatoes last year. Their home: On a ghetto shoulders high deck above a restaurant parking lot frequented by all kinds of street...folk.. Planted in 4 milk crates lined with planter fabric sitting beside each other on a long slab of corrugated plastic so that they where easy to drag aside and…

My mom almost burned down our house playing SimCity: 3000. Kicked us off the computer at about 7pm, started playing. Put a kettle on at 10pm to make tea. I wake up at 5am and realize ive been listening to the smoke alarm (I can sleep through noise), I get up, walk into the hall and there is smoke down to shoulder…

Hollandaise on steak with prawn skewers. Make a few pretty dots of something red, like tobasco on top of the hollandaise drenched steak. I have this with garlic asparagus usually, mostly because it's easier and I don't really care I just want to devour a steak drenched in butter.

I now am hearing the audio of this trailer in my office every 5 seconds. I shouldn't have said anything. Damn Chewie looks good, he could sell shampoo for L'Oreal.
Isn't it amazing what building a real set achieves? Interior of that Tie-Fighter looks slick.

I am running a soon to be deceased 560ti 1g but on an i7 with 8gigs ram.
Initially, with all settings set to lowest except my screen res of 1600x1040 the 'Vram metre' says I am using about 980mb out of 1024.
On day 1, I played with the settings recommended, the game looked OK but I was sort of disappointed; however it…

This happened to me too, and I impatiently restarted steam over and over until I realized this one simple thing: It's installing a 56gig game. When it gets to about 56.0 / 56.1 gigs, its installing stuff. Then continues. It took 30 mins to install when I just left it alone. The download timer will rapidly rise because…

This game did not like my computer. Finally, a game has struck me down and claimed "your computer is now old". Was able to run Shadow of Mordor quite nicely, but GTA V has the vram maxed out the moment I pick my resolution. The nice part is that it still runs at a beautiful FPS and is incredibly stable/ fast loading.…

I cannot play Arma3 without the use of RHS: Escalation. Both the US and Russian forces are superb models. I find the Russian equipment is a lot harder to deal with sometimes too, especially since the BTR and BMP's have a much lower profile and darker camouflage than the default CSAT vehicles (which have protruding…

Coincidentally started reading this while 'BrokenDate' from Com Truise begins playing on my headphones..

The minor aliasing made me skip a beat. Especially along the cleaver and the tap in those bright spots. Other than that it looks amazing. Uncanny valley is mostly a reaction to living things, but I see where you are coming from there. It most certainly is strange. Imagine looking through a furniture magazine and…

Those are some lovely models. 'Dat spec map.

why do I feel like the guy was forced by a client to put that crap flare on every image for consistency. Always love the clients one chance to make a creative decision and the artist has to sleep at night knowing the war-crime he committed against the art world.

And of course in the version that is my favorite star wars storm trooper figure. Sand Trooper FTW.

I can safely say I have never beaten the main story of any elder scrolls game and felt bad about it. I would play the story up until all of the games features are unlocked (for instance the ability to shout in Skyrim, as well as the ability to upgrade it) and be more than happy to do everything else in the game. I…

Beach Head II was a massive portion of my childhood with my younger brother haha. The guy getting run over by the tank in one of those levels horrified my mom as he made this bit-crush long drawn "graaaaaaAAAAaaAAAAaaaaaaaaaaauuuughhhhuuhh...!!"

Hah! Exactly.
