Game so far isn't too bad, but you can tell it's a console port.
There are some graphic problems i see. Like the baskets of apples are flat, no raised textures. And i found some smoke that was very 2D.
Mouse acceleration seems the same if it's on or off, and it's way too sensitive.
Other then that, it doesn't seem to bad at all, can't wait to play it more later.
Oh, the enemies seem to jump a bit, not sure if that is planned or what, but whatever, i can kill them the same.
Preset to High, get 40+ fps at 1080p with a i7-920 (3.2ghz) and a Nvidia 460.
If you like the other 2 games, you will probably enjoy this.
Oh, i forgot to mention, almost all the NPC look like each other, they used maybe 2-3 different models. I think that is bullshit, but whatever, I just kill everyone in the game anyways.
It's because of idiots like this that we can't have nice toys. Laser pointers get banned and people who buy them get looked on with suspicion. All because some morons think pointing them at aircraft is a good idea.
How about we punish the idiots, and let the rest of us have our toys?
Punishing idiots are fine. But making an example of someone? 30 months? Seriously? Guess it makes for good convo.
"hey, i'm doing 24 months for beating the shit out of my ex's new boyfriend" "I'm doing 30 months for pointing a laser at an airplane." "What? bullshit, you must be a child molester, no one gets 30 months for something like that"
The makers of the camera's want to produce the cheapest camera for the highest amount of profit possible. Spending money on securing the add features that consumers want (ie. wifi) cuts into the bottom line.
Will it stop consumers from buying the models? My guess is no.
What will the camera makers do? Make a new model, same as the old model, but with added security features. Of course, you will pay 50% more for the new "model".
While I understand using the word pad, since it's been another name for tablets, the word "gamepad" has meant video game controllers for over 2 decades.
This is a hand held video game console. Sure, that's a lot of words to describe 1 object, and could use 1 word, but the word "gamepad" is already taken by a gaming device. Will this cause confusion? I think so, I thought at first it was a game controller with a touch pad on it, not a screen.
Seems to me that instead of making games for PC, XBLA, PSN, these people are doing it for the cool factor only."Yeah i only code games for SNES while i watch pirated TV shows on my iDevice as i dont believe in TV". The fact that they keep referring to new as of yet published games as "retro" because they are for out of production systems also baffles me and adds to their retardedness. If you go buy a recently released LP you wouldnt call it retro, even tho it plays on a record player.
The people making these old games, are NOT hipsters. Not sure where you pulled your post (out of your butt?) but it's not true at all. Being as a person that hangs on Retro sites, no one does it to be cool. They make new games because they enjoy programming on the systems.
One thing these old systems have, that the next generation won't (well, at least MS's crap won't) is the ability to play anywhere, any time. None of this "always online" shit that MS is going to force, not sure if Sony is that stupid, but based on past experiences, they are more then that stupid.
I don't have the greatest hearing anymore, because most my life I had headphones plugged in my ear. But I can tell the difference between MP3 files and Flac files. Not only that, I can hear the difference been CD quality Flac files and 24bit/96khz Flac files.
My music collection demands I download at least CD quality (16bit/44khz), and prefers I got up a step. At worse, I will try to find 320kbps MP3's, but I like a bunch of older 80's music that I can only find in lower rates.
Sure, I could survive on 320kbps MP3's, after all, that what I have to listen to in my mp3 player. Shit, i survived on Cassette tapes for a couple of decades, and most that music was copied from friends.
There is another part to this story though. Not everyone know how to rip MP3's decent. So when I have a flac of the CD, then I can rip it how I like, the best quality possible.
Does my opinion matter? Fuck no. I'm the same about Video. I can see the imperfections in various codecs that others can't see. And I'm not down with that shit. for example, HDTV via Cable (Comcast) is crap, and I notice it. My dad? He won't notice it, shit, he doesn't even noticed with normal cable gets a bit overworked and gets a little blocky.
Also, I tend to like older music. Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, etc. And you'll find all sort of bad copies of their music. You don't know what the source is, LP, Cassette, 8-Track (joke), that the MP3 was pulled from, so getting flacs of the various CD's is best.
Then worse, you have the volume levels, or compression levels, or whatever they started doing in the 2000+ are a lot higher then previous CD releases. So while you might have a MP3 of Black Dog that is sort of quiet, the latest CD rip would be a lot louder. So now there are a few different sounding MP3 releases around.
Am I a normal consumer? Hell no. I don't buy music anymore, fuck that. I spent enough money on music in the 1980's and 1990's. I'm not making the Record Companies any more money on purpose, they do NOT deserve it.
I'm assuming to most people MP3's are enough, but then I have never followed what "most" people do, I like being myself.
"Drama queen" - really? Are you saying she is just a stupid, emotional woman?
This always happens on Slashdot. Maybe she overreacted. Either way there is no need to belittle her actions because of her gender.
I belittled her actions because she acted like a cunt, a dick, a fucking wanker. Drama Queen fits the best, because she made a big drama about it and she's female. Sorry if you find that offensive, life must suck for you.
Just going to put this out there, if she was a guy, she wouldn't of overreacted about some dongle and fork jokes. In fact, most women I know wouldn't even overreact over that. They probably would of ignored the people. So yes, Drama Queen seems to really fit in this case.
Two men being immature at a conference and they lose their livelihood because someone quasi-famous tweeted about it? I'm sure many people would disagree but the tons of triumph in the reporting that they lost their jobs is very distasteful to me especially in this job market. I don't want to live in a society where everyone is so uptight that they don't say anything without 5 levels of mental filtering because other some random stranger can completely screw them over.
If you bother to have read it, 2 men didn't lose their livelihood. 1 man did, and the person (who is female) who tweeted it did.
Sort of surprised you are +5 insightful when you missed the whole point.
2 people make a joke amongst themselves, loud enough that a person in front of them could hear it. Instead of turning around and asking them to stop, she posts on Twitter about it. She turned something that was private (as in, just a few people around where aware of) into something very very public. Public beyond the event she was at, she brought it out to the real world. On top of it, she included a photo of the guys.
She completely over reacted, and made a big issue out of something that might of been in bad taste, but was in a small way. And she lost her job for it. Which is good. Unfortunately, one of the guys lost his job also, which I don't feel he should of. But thanks to her, what he did became public and his company comes out looking bad.
She went drama queen and it cost her job. Also cost a father of 3 his job also. Her fault for losing her job, and her fault for getting that other person fired.
Disrespectful to both recognize and to perpetrate a supposed Jedi religion. Not that the logic of the belief system is any less valid but rather the fact that it started by definition it was made up. I am agnostic. Atheism is a belief if not a religion in it's own way.
Who really believes these people really host these beliefs rather than being tongue and cheek believers?
That's odd, i find the already "accepted' religions to be disrespectful to the truth.

and it's still going to get downloaded on thepiratebay like every other film out there
I prefer Usenet, but yes, it will. And they will still make a profit regardless.
I second that. Also can someone find the asshat that is posting this shit and BREAK HIS FUCKING LEGS?
Whoa!!!! Back up Internet Tough Guy. Just ignore it. Don't stress, you won't find him. Smoke some weed, relax.
$SUBJECT says it all.
I'm thoroughly impressed.
It's different because it says "wireless"

then no, it's not.
What I should of said was inb4 the host file spammer troll...
First!
nope, i beat you.
no seriously, i have no input on this story but have first post, so i got to say something.
Cause, they look barely visible at 1080p, with or without the background lights.
I blame the smog.

I live in Washington state, so almost everything I buy online gets taxed if I send it here. Services I guess not as much.
So would I have to pay more taxes? Fuck off if that's the case. You need more money Federal Gov? Stop wasting it.

thepiratebay.se has a bunch of NON DRM books also. Plus a price you can't beat.
Yes, but on slashdot it is the responsibility of the writer.
No Timothy, it's your job, the editor to proofread and correct any mistakes. Nice try on the Anonymous Coward post though...
That's a job for editors, not writers.
Timothy never proof reads. Not sure how he has this job, tbh.
