I would argue there’s a lot of overlap between TB viewers and r/PCMasterRace anyway though.

I can’t say I completely agree. It’s more than just an outlet for information, but a pack mentality built around an internet personality. If this wasn’t TotalBiscuit’s doing I don’t know that it’d have the same following.

I seem to remember with Diablo 3 that Inferno mode hadn’t been beaten by Blizzard. Which led to the massive balancing issues that plagued the game early on (because what it took to do Inferno was high DPS builds centered around abusing abilities that avoided damage altogether rather than building anything towards…

Again there’s plenty of existing devices that already handle media as is. A half-assed game system on top is hardly compelling.

I don’t see how it differs significantly from the Ouya in regard to ecosystem. It’s not bringing anyone anything they didn’t already have, and it wants them to play in a way that demographically these sorts of players have just moved away from when they abandoned the Wii.

Japanese PC games are more likely to be physical products.

It’s not ideal, but I can’t say I mind the fact it still plays the games all the same. I’m currently studying in Japan and I’ve picked up a few Vita titles already. Shame the memory cards are so expensive.

Wouldn’t hurt. A handful of publishers are interested in Western localization, but many Japanese developers are looking even more inward with their releases.

Voice acting in Japan seems to be a more accepted profession than in the West, and likely the demand is higher as well (or at least the Western voice acting industry seems to get by with far fewer in comparison.)

Does that really offend the left? I’d figure it’d bother the right more with their mantra of “I built this.”

Hey, sorry, left the country between my previous post and now. My understanding is that they’re pretty close. I haven’t overclocked mine, no. Haven’t had the chance to play much since leaving though.

They seem a reasonable desktop option for both CPU and GPU, although Intel and nVidia seem to have an edge if you can afford it. The fact that on the desktop you can more easily mix AMD GPUs with Intel processors doesn’t hurt either.

A woman at the VIP Q&A in Cincinnati (as per the video in the linked article) asked his opinion on politics.

Does AMD have much of the low end at the moment? The cheapest Windows laptops all tend to be Intels nowadays, with the AMD APUs usually in the low-mid range. And around $500 you start getting i3s and i5s popping up, so the range where AMD’s APUs shine is pretty narrow.

750 Ti seems pretty close, though it also depends on which version you have; there’s two models of 860M.

Hadn’t he already done the music by that point? This seems like Activision just dictating creative terms because they can, not a case of not wanting to pay the guy (who was already an employee of Bungie to begin with; they were already paying him.)

Like what? It’s not like they just hand you your epics and off you to go raiding, the catch up mechanic will help you get easy items, sure, but they’ll likely be suboptimal stats, and it takes considerably more time and effort to upgrade each one to current raid levels. And while you can technically farm endlessly to…

Would you rather they spend months to gear up in order to do content that’ll be almost a year old by the time the next expansion comes out?

I haven’t had time to do much more than some LFR this expansion, but Blizzard has been pretty consistently good with raid content the past few expansions. If you want a challenge, it’s there. And if you want to go and explore the world you can do that too. I know I spend most of my time earning mounts and pets and old…
