  1. Forget Theaters: NBCUniversal Is Releasing Its Latest Movies Directly to On-Demand Channels

    Having worked in this industry, I can say most production companies claim a significant portion or all of the ticket money. The bigger the company (disney?), the worse the deal. Some will demand 100% for the first x weeks. Depending on the movie. Remember the big stink over the last jedi stuff...
  2. Forget Theaters: NBCUniversal Is Releasing Its Latest Movies Directly to On-Demand Channels

    I would still take the kids to the theater at least annually as long as something good played. They can do first run to home and just rotate the theater lineup. (Older flicks too) It’s a fun outing that we all enjoy. Like going to a baseball game, the ticket price isn’t all you’ll spend. It’s...
  3. Valve Is Pretty Sure That Half-Life: Alyx Is Going to Get Modded So It Can Be Played Without VR

    I’m not really able to get into vr, so I’m happy to hear they’re open to the idea. Their goal to be that “must have” vr title would encourage them to lock it down. I’m glad they’re not focused entirely on that goal alone.
  4. AT&T and Other Major ISPs Agree to Lift Data Caps, Waive Fees During Coronavirus Crisis

    Time to load up my backlog! Gotta be prepared if I get stuck on a mandatory 2 week isolation.
  5. Famous Overclocker Der8auer Helps Design and Create a New Mounting Bracket to Lower Temperatures on Ryzen 3000 Series Processors

    Interesting. Neat and well executed idea, but that seems like a lot of work for a max theoretical gain of 10°. Does this phenomenon apply to all coolers or waterblocks, or just aio’s with smaller jet plates? Amd auto overclock is fairly aggressive, doe this lead to better numbers? I only noticed...
  6. GameStop Hires Former Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé to Turn Itself Around

    Pivot gamestop to fill some of the void left from toysrus. Smaller sq footage, but a fun enough place for kids to want to go, and encourage customer engagement so people play with and buy stuff.
  7. Star Wars 4K Pre-orders Begin to Appear

    Original, unmolested versions, not included. :( Come'on Disney, give back a little to the old fans. Just re rip the Lazer disk versions to Blu Ray and the people would rejoice.
  8. Harrison Ford Says That Indiana Jones 5 Will Begin Shooting “In About Two Months”

    In order for them to continue the series, passing the torch is inevitable. Whom ever they pick will upset some, but hopefully they pick someone that at least works/fits even if not universally liked. I’d hope Hollywood learned something over the last decade. Maybe they can find a different theme...
  9. Raijintek’s New Water Block For 5700 Series GPU’s

    I normally run mid tier gpus and water cool for fun/noise. (Or buy a few gen old high end used, just for the block support) I don’t need top end and the water cooling setup is more fulfilling to me than putting $1000 into a gpu. With gpu prices going to the moon, this may become more common...
  10. Nintendo Planning a Longer Life Cycle for Switch Console Line

    It’s not like they’re loosing money. They just don’t want to risk another wii U. They also don’t have enough IP to really push forward. The switch is 3 years old and still sells at the same price it did at release. That’s saying something.
  11. Disney Announces Release Date for The Mandalorian S2, Potential Spin-Off Series Teased

    If they’d stick to doing EU stuff and keep it diverse, they could probably crank out some profitable movies. I’ve said it before, but solo flopped because of timing, not quality. I wouldn’t say it was the best thing ever, but I would pay to see things like that mixed with TOR or even pre first...
  12. Expect More Microtransactions from EA: Publisher Made Almost $1 Billion from MTX in Q3

    I’m perfectly fine with cosmetic mtx. I’m perfectly fine with premium servers or on f2p games: grind skipping. Heck, with f2p, I’ll excuse a lot of mtx, it’s explicitly in the business model. But for the love of god, keep that crap away from full price titles. If I pay $60 for a game and you...
  13. 6G Will Offer Theoretical Speeds of Up to 1 TB a Second (8,000 Times Faster than 5G)

    So I can hit my data cap in just 1 second. sweet!
  14. NZXT’s New Liquid Coolers Have an LCD Display for Displaying Data and Animated GIFs

    This was my first reaction. All cpu/youtube reviews will use this and have sponsors displayed on it. It’s a great idea in that regard.
  15. Movie Pass Shuts Down and Declares Bankruptcy

    Too good to be true...worth it for those who were able to fleas them when they could though.
  16. Avast Allegedly Using “Free” Antivirus to Collect and Sell Users’ Web Browsing Data

    Free av has all gone down hill. I get that free has to have a catch, but they're going all in on data collection, ads, nuisance ads, pushing fear... I just started installing hardware solutions to my network and creating a commercial scale lock down on my personal/kids computers. The av product...
  17. Zen 2 Quest (3733 CL14-15-15-28 @ 1.47v Get)

    Over clocking is alive on these only because the infinity fabric relies on ram speed. Thus, oc’d ram equals oc’d cpu? Or am I missing something? All I’ve seen is hours spent trying to get 100 extra mhz on a 4ghz cpu, and that gain normally comes at the cost of single thread or a significant...
  18. Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney Plus Series Still on Track for Release

    I don’t disagree. Yoda was on Dagobah for the cave that hid him. Obiwan wouldn’t have to be stationary and babysit entirely either. Should be fun. And since I can’t really have any expectations here, it’s hard to really get disappointed.
  19. Obi-Wan Kenobi Disney Plus Series Still on Track for Release

    19 years of being a hermit on Tatooine? I’ll definitely watch, but I’m skeptical on how they can make this make sense and entertaining. If he didn’t cut himself off from the force more or leas, he’d have been found. If he goes out too much, he’d put his mission in jeopardy. Couldn’t exactly...
  20. Coming Soon: Front page and forum integration.

    I get that. Just figured it would be worth mentioning. I figured acquisition there would be inevitable anyway at this point, I’d rather it be taken over by someone with experience and more interest than just making a buck. (Of course it’s not anything close to mine to suggest, just a point of...
