    Cuteness/loveable overload in this week's episode.

    Thus, further heading to buying games from a Xbox marketplace. No more playing "backups" of your games, movies, or other media. Those wanting to do things offline are further cut off. And if Microsoft thinks this will stop cheaters, hackers, or the pirated games area, good luck with that.

    Repainted Zeta an gave it Astray Red Frame's new toy. Meh. Too bad they won't show a no-name fighter-character using a Jegan to fight Devil Gundam. Had to be a badass chick.... Couldn't have been a no-name girl.

    They only reanimated a few scenes. Otherwise, still the same.

    Sony says PS4 failures have varying causes, affect less than 1 percent of units Not terrible-OMG-the-world-is-ending bad.

    Rewatch any of Justice League or Justice League Unlimited or any of the animated series. Supes sure creates a lot of collateral damage when he has to use his powers against a similarly equal opponent. What do you think is gonna happen if they fight in an urban setting? He sent Darkseid through a number of buildings. Heck, Batman has to cause some collateral damage to Superman just to keep him from fighting back. So I can live with the level of destruction in this movie.

    We'll find out on Friday.

    Yeah, I'm still looking at people who complain about Supes killing Zod in Synder's version when in Donner's version, Supes crushed Zod's hand and sent him to his pavement glue-death.

    Yeah, I won't worry too much. There will be some bad apples in the sea of good ones. As long as it isn't a huge number.

    Not really. The difference would only be marginal between the 2 HDDs. I would either get a hybrid drive, like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822178381&ignorebbr=1 Or a <128 GB SSD + a HDD.

    Shadow, I would second technoblue recommendation on a SSD+HDD combo. If there's one thing that will slow you down, it's the HDD. Putting your OS and primary apps on a SSD would dramatically improve performance. I'm using hybrid drives and they literally are the middle ground. But I see hybrid drives more as a solution for laptops. There are people out there that live out of their laptops (they're laptop is their primary PC) so having that speed improvement over a conventional HDD without too much sacrifice on price/storage like a SSD is great. Considering this is a desktop, I would look at the scenario of SSD+HDD. But if you don't want to pay for that I'd consider a hybrid drive. But if you're happy or don't want to pay, then stick with a single HDD.

    I share mikeszekely's musings with Windows 8. While I think Windows 8/8.1 is a good OS, it is paired with a very confused UI that doesn't seem to fit with either tablet or laptop very well. Your mileage may vary. Simply, the Surface 2 Pro is an incremental upgrade to the Surface Pro. The Surface Pro 2's price + keyboard is already in the $1000 and you would get a decent laptop for that price.

    I'd consider bumping up to 16GB if cheap enough. But going by specs alone, it looks like this will be a mid-range computer so 8GB should be fine. If you can find a deal for 16GB, I would probably go for it but I won't go out of my way to make it happen. I'd probably omit the CD-RW. The DVD-RW is sufficient and will give you one less piece of equipment that would probably end up taking space. Difference between Ivy Bridge and Haswell besides age, Haswell has significant enough power-price ratio improvements as well as a integrated graphics boost over Ivy Bridge. This would help in the long run. Since you're going with a dedicated graphics solution, integrated graphics wouldn't enter into the picture.

    When I last traveled with my 13" classic MBP a few months back, that felt too heavy, which has prompted me to consider the new 13" rMBP. I could have brought my iPad but I needed to do actual work and I was watching my TV shows on the road.

    Tentacles monster. Its has a name ya know. "ActiveX Exploit".

    That's not a bad price for a gaming laptop. Unfortunately, I don't do laptop gaming.

    To expand on this, it may come out as a system patch at later date for on-console emulation for the PS4. But Gaikai's acquisition is suppose to be part of a long-term solution to game emulation of older titles for Sony. Reason being this would allow you to emulate games on-the-go with your Vita. Streaming from your PS4 to your Vita opens up a large segment for mobile gaming. Add the ability to emulate or stream older games would increase the Sony ecosystem.

    Word is that these will be more as cameo appearances (if the rumors are true and they will actually play these people and not as another character) and they'll use the actors elsewhere.

    For me, unfortunately I haven't had much time to play BF4. I did fix the majority of the flickering with a Nvidia driver update that they pushed out late last week. But I've run into client crashes and server crashes (I hear the server crashing has been fixed though), net code problems, some map issues, spawn dying (There's a "lag" where you hit the spawn button. It fades in and out of black, then you can see where you're going. During those few seconds when you spawn and can't see anything, you're a sitting duck and will probably get killed). Until they push out a patch, I really won't recommend this game to anyone. I hear it's fine for the most part on consoles.

    Well, to play some of these new games, we need the new consoles. Hence, we're talking about the equipment we need to play these new games on. And while this thread also includes PC gaming, some of the games we're looking forward to aren't out yet or like me, haven't played very much of the games that are out, hence the lack of discussion on that front. Don't worry, we'll be back to gaming talk soon.
  24. azrael
    Sorry, it's almost release time for 2 new consoles. Expect turbulence.

    The realist in me says "You're damn right." Can't be any worst than Xbone's day-1 patch: Xbox One practically unusable without day one update Does anything just work out of the box anymore?
