    More talk of Steam "box" Dec. 8

    http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/8/3852144/gabe-newell-interview-steam-box-future-of-gaming Interview with Gaben. Short summary: "SteamBox" is not actually the one and only Box. It's more like an addition to Steam system to deliver Steam to the living room. Gabe outlined 3 tiers. Good = streaming...

    Do I want an IPS monitor?

    TN is problematic if the screen size is big. If you like your screen closer, even on 24" it can be problematic. Only higher tier IPS. With calibration and preferably handpicked specimen. IPS has nice colors, with exception of black. Had some problems with speed at earlier stages. *VA has...

    BLOPS2: This game is stupid

    Well, duh... CoD is dumb MMS. What else can you expect? There is enough FPS on PC not to play CoD if you are frustrated by it. There is BF3 which is less dumb MMS. There is simple but fair CS. There is Natural Selection 2. There is whole bunch of F2P FPS of decent quality. TF2, Planetside2...

    Games that are great with a gamepad?

    Console ports usually work with controllers, 3rd person action... games, most of the Valve catalog. Assassin's Creed series should work really good with gamepad. Or driving games. Don't touch FPS with controller. Just don't. If you really want to, try appropriating some surface for mouse and...

    Your contenders for GOTY?

    Walking Dead and/or Journey. Haven't played Journey... PC purist. So Walking Dead. Last year it was Portal 2. The reasoning is simple. It's a game with less videogame attributes and yet it's awesome. Minimum pre-existing game specific skills or knowledge required, widest audience and it doesn't...

    Senator wants study on video game violence

    They are doing something useful. For people who pay them money. Consumption of TV content is going down, while consumption of new "evil" media goes up. It's not about video games in general, although they might have been a factor in some cases. The guns are secondary. They are just handy tools...

    Senator wants study on video game violence

    Not because of mass shootings. Because of public perception. What happens after most of mass shootings? Media uproar. Every aspect of the shooting is publicly dissected. Most of the spotlight goes to the shooter. One of the common aspects of the shooting is suicide. But normal suicides are not...

    Valve launches Steam Market (buy and sell items)

    But the game is based around on completing it on different difficulty levels. Same game. Multiple times. Or you won't get nice items. Which is bad game design.

    Future 4k gaming

    I don't expect anything from 4k for at least 10 years. Except the fact that I will be able to play on ultra settings on a moderate hardware and 1080 or slightly higher resolution. Couple of games per year that can really pull it off, surprise ugly textures that lurk even in current AAA...

    Unreal vs Cryengine vs Source vs id Tech vs Frostbite

    Source and Unreal. Latest and greatest engines are temporary but Source will run on almost anything and Unreal is a most used engine for a reason.

    Valve launches Steam Market (buy and sell items)

    Valve hasn't launched Steam Market. It's only beta. So for now it's only TF2, only consumables and only 200 items per year per account. And no, it's not wrong, immoral or evil. It's just collectibles in a game where you start with decent stuff, easily get all the side-grades you need and hats...

    Well, game support is/will be not that bad. Unreal is compatible with Llinux, Crytech too, Unity and Source officially support Linux... Four major engines.

    More talk of Steam "box" Dec. 8

    Really depends on how Valve approaches the whole console business. If they completely lock the system, I doubt it will have more than a mild success. On the other hand, if Valve starts certifying hardware, drivers and certain software to create tight reliable ecosystem with more hardware...

    PREDICTION: countdown to failure, Windows 8 RT tablet will be an unmitigated failure.

    Windows RT/Phone being Windows is not a selling point because it's not really Windows. Only under the hood. And it comes with bloat. It's still Windows 6.something(Vista, 7 and now 8). And moving it to new platforms in this state... And forcing new UI on PC users... but that's another story. I...

    AMD's GPU Q3 2012 marketshare - 14% declines across the board to NVIDIA

    ~$400 cards are significantly less popular than $200-300 ones. And again, good AMD drivers are new and make AMD cards not only competitive but clearly better than nVidia. Wait for Q4 results.

    AMD's GPU Q3 2012 marketshare - 14% declines across the board to NVIDIA

    I don't really think it's as bad as it looks for AMD. Nvidia just filled very popular price range with new generation cards. A lot of nVidia fans(irresponsible consumer) were happy to spend money. And AMD's performance jumped only recently, so I expect the result will be visible in the Q4, which...

    Console gaming dying? lol

    Currently, a significant chunk of mobile devices support HDMI. Plug it in your TV, hook up one or two wireless controllers and you can do simple "console" gaming. Skip couple of generations, add wireless hdmi into the mix and now with couple of phones or tablets and one big screen you can...

    Console gaming dying? lol

    Not dying... yet. But phones and tablets started to poke console in the ass from below. Enough phones can play a role of console. Or at least are close to this ability. An currently, it's wise to spend $60 on 60+ iOS games than on most AAA titles. Quality of Android games comes closer to the...

    Do your friends play on PC or Console? (and how to convert them)

    Well... Math is quite simple. $1k for new PC with GPU upgrade in two years +$200($300 for new GPU -$100 by selling old one). Current PC should last 4 years like this. 4 years in Xbox Live subscription should cost $720. Add more flexible game pricing, support for most controllers, superior...

    The Elder Scrolls Online announced

    Saw new video. Heard a lot of stuff similar to GW2 description... which is not a bad thing. GW2 got a lot of things right. What bugged me were combat scenes where everyone stood in one place and just attacked. Hope devs will make combat better. I really hope TESO is good.

    Define Spawn Camping

    Spawn camping is PURELY design problem. Devs and map designers are the only ones to blame. Spawn camping is consistent kill-farming using predictable enemy spawn points. It's kinda stupid to ignore a method this efficient. It's just not fun for most people.

    It looks like Valve's push into Linux is moving right along

    Unity engine works on linux. So does Source now. CryEngine is compatible but was never released. Same with Unreal. Sounds good.

    It looks like Valve's push into Linux is moving right along

    Valve started beta-testing. You don't have to have an invite to play non-Valve games. Valve games check for beta participation. http://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/12qs6z/steam_for_linux_its_here_deb_in_the_link/ MS decided to bet on monthly subscription for Live instead of dominating...

    Things are not looking good for THQ :(

    South Park RPG made by Obsidian(KOTOR2, Fallout3:New Vegas). So yes, it's a worthy investment. They are not out of business... yet. Just pushed back releases. In case of South Park game, it's a good call, because Obsidian loves their games buggy at launch. And it's not like their stocks have...

    It looks like Valve's push into Linux is moving right along

    Not exactly. In Windows 8 "Metro"(did MS drop the name already?) interface is primary, desktop is secondary and is, basically, an app ran from "Metro"/Start screen. Windows 8 RT does not support desktop apps and, I think, MS said that some of the system resources are only available to more...

    It looks like Valve's push into Linux is moving right along

    More like Windows 9. 8 is not closed enough yet. Windows XP lasted for a long time so it might not be that bad. Nah... Microsoft is this bold not because of some tablet. Microsoft has Xbox. Gaming is now more tiered and niches are already filled with iOS and Android. I doubt "Valve box" will be...

    I leave for a few months and L4D2 versus is full of elitest 15 year olds.

    Two points. First, what do you expect from pubs? With number of players in one match, you have quite high chance to find re... people challenged in some(not good) way. You're supposed to be adult and mature enough to understand that. Second, you do understand, that kids mimic older members...

    I leave for a few months and L4D2 versus is full of elitest 15 year olds.

    Almost all of them, I think. For two reasons: 1. They migrate. 2. The genre itself. Bad player is not just bad, but actively helps the other team, matches are long, so there is rage. Eventually it blew up and now shitfest is always there. Warranted or not.
