Star Citizen: Chris Robert`s new space sim (the Wing Commander guy)

I agree that the experience is way more immersive with VR but honestly I don't see myself playing with an occulus for longer than an hour at a time especially in games like arena commander. TrackIR on the other hand doesn't add to fatigue at all so there's no way I'm getting rid of mine any...

Steam Summer Sale 2015 Official Whatcha Gonna Buy Thread

The remastered versions are easier than the originals partly because the interface is improved and they added some quality of life updates like autoharvest. I'm biased but I think the difficulty is just enough to be engaging without being overly frustrating and yes, the single player campaign is...

Can We Do Toy Story Yet?

I remember seeing a video of a siggraph presentation where the Pixar technical people had an indoors house scene from UP (which looks significantly better than Toy Story 1) rendered at close to real time at production quality using two GTX580s (don't quote me on that, my memory on the specific...

Cheesy "camera simulation realism" effects in modern game design

The one thing aside from the overuse of DoF is the fake rain drops on the camera lens when it's in 3rd person. I see this happen in racing games and some 3rd person shooters and the first thing that goes through my mind is WHYYY?!

Elite Dangerous

Honestly, do all the tutorials missions (except that last combat one with multiple waves which is pretty hard for most beginners), learn to use boost, flight assist off and wing mechanics and then practice for one day and you're pretty much good to go. Every ship handles differently so there's...

Nvidia GTX Titan X Owners Benchmark Thread

Holy crap! Am I to understand that this is on the stock cooler? Edit: okay yeah I went over all the posts and this is impressive as hell. I've kind of dismissed the titan X after seeing all the reviews conclude 33% faster for 100% higher price but I didn't think they would overclock this well...

Don't lose hope of seeing cataclysm just yet. There was a twitch interview with the people who made cataclysm from scratch and they basically said that the whole source code thing was just an excuse to delay it and see how well HWR would sell before adding more risk to the project. The former...

Elite Dangerous

Everybody stutters like crazy when approaching planets and in some cases in supercruise. IIRC, the devs mentioned it a while back that it's because they added a bunch of telemetry tasks (your client a bunch of information dumps to their servers) to help them debug things and add data to prevent...

There's a .big extraction tool available so you can get the remastered soundtrack yourself from the game files. I'd usually never advocate using something like this to go around the paywall for content from a game that I love so much but 7.99 for a soundtrack that's already in the game is not...

This is what I'm telling myself but there were talks that the events in cataclysm weren't officially cannon. Most of the technologies and events in that game just pretty much poofed away which is a shame because there were some insanely cool stuff.

Pre-emptive apology for the rant. All in all, it wasn't bad at all but it just didn't feel like it was the result of the labor of love that the first one was. YMMV

Elite Dangerous

Honestly I'd be totally fine to drop new players a million credits of palladium so you can get started with a more efficient kit... A lot of people are at a point where there's not much else to do while waiting for the multiplayer enhancement patch and I'm just grinding for the elite title so...

Better to teach a man how to fish as they say. Use thrudd's trading tool in conjunction of your star map to find good trading lanes. Beware of old data because now that the supply is dynamic, a couple type-9s or tradacondas can easily dry up a lane in less than a day. That said, decent routes...

Elite Dangerous

Okay, this is me in the prison yard taking my shirt off to show my flag. I love this game to death. If this game could cook, hold a conversation and metaphysically get pregnant, I'd marry it. I love the look, the freedom, the accurate universe modeled that makes that GTA 5 map satire gif look...

About Twitch Streamers...

Pretty much. Kaceytron's whole act is a parody of women streamers except she takes it to an absurd level. Poe's law material right here.
