John Carmack, very smart guy. But like most engineers, it wouldn't surprise me if he was exceptionally bad at playing office politics. It's not necessarily that he couldn't move faster at a place like Meta, it's likely that he just didn't know how to change his operating behavior, and sell-in to...

Does this have any use to anyone? I believe I won it at Quakecon 2006, but never took it out of the box.

It's cool, but I don't see many practical benefits of it over a normal road vehicle. Just an annoying sound.

Update: Still with Visible. Still loving the $25/month. No complaints whatsoever.

It's certainly not going to blow you away with its story (not sure it has one?), but game play is solid, guns are solid, music is top notch, and there's enough enemy and level variety to keep it interesting. A couple hours more in and still enjoying it.

I loved Alien: Isolation... I've heard Alien: Fireteam Elite is decent... But other than that, I haven't been super impressed with the games from the Alien franchise.. Hopefully this one will prove me wrong.

I had Prodeus (https://store.steampowered.com/app/964800/Prodeus/) on my Steam wish list for quite some time and finally decided to take the plunge and buy it last weekend. I'm about 3 hours in and really am enjoying it. If you enjoyed DOOM 2016, you would likely also really enjoy this game...

Am I living in an alternate time line? I could have sworn there already has been a "Modern Warfare 2" game

RIP Quakecon

Yeah, I remember when Enemy Territory: Quake Wars tried this (as well as Quake Live when it was browser-based). I saw a couple of live ads, but in general I think it flopped pretty hard. Now, ad tech has come a long way, and Microsoft has a huge portfolio of studies and games now, so I could see...

To wrap this up -- Yesterday I sent a lengthy message to the buyer with specific instructions on how to test the card for failure. Got a response today that the buyer purchased 2 cards and accidentally opened a return on the wrong one. Perhaps it was an honest mistake :) Still never selling...

Well good to know that eBay SHOULD refund the selling fees. I've yet to see see that in their FAQ, but here's to hoping. And yeah -- What is the point of having a "No Refund" policy if the buyer can always request a refund anyway? I don't see any reason the buyer couldn't just be having buyers...

Thanks for that! I sent a reply asking to take a video of the card running a stress test (suggesting the stress test built into the AMD drivers) with the command output clearly visible in the video. We'll see what the response is...

Yes, I will do that but from what I’m reading in the internet I’m basically going to have no choice but to accept the returns. And, even if the card is returned in perfect order (perhaps the buyer just has remorse) given that the price of video cards are falling, I’m going to lose some money on...

I have pictures of the card which visibly has the S/N printed on it

Has anyone sold computer hardware on ebay before? And, if the buyer has requested a return, how did you handle it? I recently sold a Vega 56 on eBay (it was delivered to buyer March 14) and I got a return request for the item today, stating: "This gpu runs for at most 10 mins then will give a...

The only Alien licensed asset that should see the light of day is a sequel to Alien Isolation

Firefox is my main desktop web browser. The only thing Chrome has I wish FF did was the ability to cast a tab onto a Chromecast enabled device

One of my first builds I had the Ballistix Tracer memory in it... Eventually it went bad, likely due to the cheap BioStar motherboard it was plugged into. The RMA process was smooth, and Crucial sent back a stress "ball" shaped like a pig, and branded a "memory hog". It was a nice surprise and...

Why can I no longer see comments on the News posted on the main site? Have to specifically go find the thread in the forums to check out the discussion.
