  1. Ubisoft Shutting Down Servers for Rainbow Six Vegas, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, and Other Classic Titles

    I had a lot of fun in the Rainbow 6 Vegas multiplayer, but I haven't played it in years. I think the last time I did was 2009? I never was able to get the last stupid achievement on the Xbox 360 version of the first one for hosting a full 16 player game. I guess I'll have to see if I can get...
  2. Microsoft Could Be Buying Discord for More than $10 Billion

    Talks on a deal for Microsoft to acquire Discord have ended. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2021-04-20-discord-ends-acquisition-talks-with-microsoft-report (WSJ is source, but you need a subscription to read the article.)
  3. Windows 10’s User Interface Design Update Teased in New Images

    Are we going to eventually come back full circle to aero when people realize that having depth to the UI to distinguish things is a good idea? So sick and tired of "modern" flat interfaces.
  4. Latest Windows 10 Updates Blamed for Slower Game Performance, BSODs

    Does anyone with a gaming PC not turn the power plan up to at least High performance? I go beyond that and turn all of those power saving features off on every fresh Windows install.
  5. Sony Allegedly Paid Capcom to Delay Its PC Ports of Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter World: Iceborne

    The tweet is the result of the person reading the meeting notes misinterpreting what they say. They are just talking about the marketing deal and conditions. The guy who posted the tweet already conceded he got it wrong.
  6. NVIDIA Considers GeForce RTX 30 Series Its Best Launch Ever

    As far as I know the Samsung 8nm node that NVIDIA is on isn't being used by anybody else.
  7. DVD Sales Keep Increasing Despite Blu-ray and Other Higher-Quality Alternatives

    I've had a good experience with WinDVD Pro for standard BR. Not going to jump through all the BS to try and play UHD on my PC when I have 3 consoles now that can do so natively.
  8. Amazon Cancels Its Free-to-Play Lord of the Rings MMO

    Twitch is a streaming service that already existed and Amazon managed to turn it into a trash heap. Twitch makes most of its money from thirsty whales watching thots treating the service like a cam girl site, not people playing video games.
  9. DVD Sales Keep Increasing Despite Blu-ray and Other Higher-Quality Alternatives

    I still have one on my PC, as well, and is the reason I'm still rocking a full size chassis because smaller ones don't come with external 5.25" drive bays anymore.
  10. Report: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Ready for Mass Production with New ETH Mining Limiter

    So what's to stop miners from mining other coins with this video card?
  11. MSI Announces Oculux NXG253R Esports Gaming Monitor

    360 Hz on an IPS panel? Good luck with that. Should have made it a TN panel. I could believe the hype if it were made with a TN panel.
  12. Avoid the Thrustmaster T80 Ferrari 488 Gtb Edition Racing Wheels For Ps4 Pc

    Thrustmaster makes some good wheels, but you get what you pay for. Going in for a wheel at the $100 price point you should keep your expectations low. The TS-XW is supposed to be really good, but that is $700. Have read mixed things about the TMX Pro for $250. Thrustmaster's bungee cord...
  13. Anyone play Stellaris?

    Reading reviews for this just leaves me confused. It's on Game Pass for PC and consoles, so I was just going to give it a go through that.
  14. DVD Sales Keep Increasing Despite Blu-ray and Other Higher-Quality Alternatives

    I have been buying nothing but UHD Blu-ray for the past 5 years. I started before I even got a 4K TV since you got a standard Blu-ray included anyway. Some things just don't or won't see release on UHD, so in those cases I'll buy a standard BR if it's something I really want. Arrow Video has...
  15. First Season of Amazon’s Lord of the Rings TV Series to Cost $465 Million

    Wow. The budget for the original trilogy was only $281 million USD when it was filmed in the late 1990s. I guess that would put it on equal terms with this as inflation adjusted that would be about $464 million.
  16. Intel Core i9-11900K CPU Review

    It's faster than the 10900K in everything except when the two extra cores help out in multithreaded scenarios. But I would never upgrade my CPU like I would a video card (every two years). Intel's mistake was pricing the 11900K at the price point of the 5900X instead of the 5800X where it is...
  17. Radeon RX 6800 XT Cyberpunk 2077 Ray Tracing Performance

    That makes no sense. You're just adding latency. You can't do reflections without first rendering the scene in the first place, and you can't render them as "part of the scene" unless you are fine with static reflections and shadows. Technically, reflections and shadows are already "in code,"...
  18. Ghosts ’n Goblins Resurrection Coming to Other Platforms

    You don't know pain until you've experienced the Master System version of Ghouls 'n Ghosts.
  19. DVD Sales Keep Increasing Despite Blu-ray and Other Higher-Quality Alternatives

    I never use those digital codes that come with the discs. I should probably just throw them out instead of leaving them in the cases :ROFLMAO:
  20. Amazon Cancels Its Free-to-Play Lord of the Rings MMO

    Has Amazon had any successful video game launch yet, or do they just continue to throw money in the wind? The problem is they think they can approach and run a video game business the same way they run their retail business. There are many articles out there that talk about this issue. You...
