| Baffling how often Blue writes about power outages too... at this frequency I would think about a bio-diesel power gen... just to be on the safe side. |

How is this even going to work? The only way Facebook could send me a message is via email that they don't have and for which they CERTAINLY do not have an spam permission.
But these messages will go straight to spam, because that's what it is, unwanted crap. I think Google Mail might even classify it as spam from the get-go because without a unsubscribe link sending that email is illegal in the EU.
My mind, it is boggled. |

Simple answer to all your question and complaint parts: Consoles
You can now start to hate and detest: Consoles
The low memory on consoles is the prime reason for checkpoint saves that don't save shit. Did you never wonder why so many games for consoles don't remember what tree you destroyed, or what non-scripted building or vehicle you left destroyed where? It's because of console memory limitations.
And before you say, "but skyrim" .. yes, Skyrim manages to do it, but Farcry 3 is simply a port from consoles where the developer didn't bother to put in a proper save system not even for the consoles. So you can also blame laziness on developer part. |

Haswell is allegedly %50 faster than Ivy Bridge
I thought they walked that back to 12-20%, I'd be surprised if they hit anything higher.
The most recent stuff I've read pegs it around at least 10% so that's close to your recollection. Unfortunately it seems to only have some minor architecture improvements, faster on-die GPU and reduced CPU TDP (but increased GPU TDP). I was planning on waiting for Haswell but these reports made it sound like it wasn't worth the wait. Frankly I'm glad I didn't wait as jumping from an OC'd Yorkfield to a stock clock Ivy Bridge has literally doubled FPS in Guild Wars 2, among other things.
Yeah exactly, reading more into this says Haswell will be quite a minor jump overall. I'm definitely going to wait and see on it.
Never trust benchmarks before release.. 
I would be actually shocked if 12%-20% is the actual performance. Because if not a doubling of performance they would have done some insane error in their design. There is no way to double the flops per hz/core and not get twice the performance out of it. Unless the cpu clocks much lower than an I7.
Haswell has twice as high flops per hz per core than the I7
That means it must be twice as fast (in a fully threaded scenario)
Hence why everyone throws around a doubling of linpack performance. There is no way the CPU will only be 15% or some such faster (at same clock) than an I7, if it is, then something is very broken. ^^ |

The difference between I7 and I5 is that the I5 does not have hyperthreading. That means 1 thread = 1 core. (Which is great for gaming, terrible for anything else.. you know, compiling, rendering.. that kind of everything else ;P)
But apart that, the I5 is superior to all AMD CPU's because it can go up to 4ghz if cooled properly. And thus in games that are 1-core or 2-core bound that makes all the difference in the world.
If you want to use multiple threaded applications (more than 4) you need an I7 - but if you don't then a I5 is by FAR the best performance for your buck you can get. Especially with a good mobo that has SATA3
As for the SSD linked, that's a terrible chcoice, I got a 512GB Samsung 830 SSD and that is the lowest I would go for a system partition. Already it's at 250gb used. And that's just because of few games I have on there, the OS, and my 3D-Apps. |

Exactly, I was under the impression they sold everything they had? So how could possible make a TA game
In fact, I was under the obviously false impression they had closed shop |

| Interesting that MS the largest developer on the planet would outsource a cheap ass pinball game to an external development.. it would take what? 1 coder, 1 artist and 1 sound guy to make this game. And they outsourced it? Wtf.... |

Well the pressure for more "old people" and "less money" is going to make all retirement centers pretty bland environments soon enough, not to mention there won't be any social security for anyone who is in their 20ies or 30ies now... imo... I guess I am just saying that to me, living with other old people together in a holding cell is NOT something to strife for.
Also you make it sound like someone living alone is by definition lonely... lot's of people do this by choice. Choose only animals because they can not and do not want other humans around them anymore. You have seen retirement centers? Well so did I, what I saw made me decide never to pursue this path. I knew an very old guy (my neighbor until recently), he was more than 90.. Stukka pilot in WW2, got shot down twice, shrapnel in head, chest. He died recently, but he left his wife (87) who couldn't handle the huge house they had anymore. So she went to a retirement home. It costs 2000€ a month. and you know what the first thing was that happened? She got robbed, right there. Put her jewelry in a locked box in a drawer in her room, the next morning the box was gone. Staff "doesn't know what happened" ... When I heard that I was this close to punching the guy who told me this. I visited there with her son.... they also have no internet, no computers. No tablets. They are completely degenerated there, living like in the stone age, rolled in front of a TV and rolled in front of food. Even though she can still walk albeit slowly, they put her in a rolling chair. Because it's too much hassle?!?!?!....
This is how society here acts towards old people. You pay money to be maybe robbed, to be most definitely degenerated. As a thing, a product. Not a living human with feelings, urges, wants and needs.
I agree that assisted living is maybe a better way, but you forget that assisted living is VERY expensive, hardly anyone will be able to afford it in 50 years. And especially here in Germany, assisted living costs upwards 3000€ a month. I know not a SINGLE retiree who can afford it. It is literally for the upper 1%.. as much as I hate this classification.. |

....died at the retirement center...
Am I the only one who thinks that this is not a real living of life anymore, that society has perverted growing older? If you just stagnate and degenerate at some holding location until you die?
You work 70~ years of your best years to make money (includes school) so you can rot away in some overpriced crap house cared for by people who only care for your money. In some perverse sense, it makes perfect sense. But to me.. I try everything I can to live a healthy life but if I become so old or sick I can't move anymore (or I get Alzheimer) I would order a parajump and not trigger the parachute. Die with a splash, not with a sizzle.
What's the point of living if you can't live like you want anymore? (or in case of Alzheimer, are these people still people? Is that still LIFE? To not be aware your brain is rotting away? To not remember who you are, what you are? What you are living for?) Isn't the entire existence of a human, what defines you as you, that you have wishes unique to you? That you are under the illusion to be unique? If your uniqueness is taken from you, and you are just a bio-machine rotting away with some disjointed memories.. is that still Life? To me, the answer is no.
Death has never been scary for me, but growing older and sick and not dying, instead getting Alzheimer or some other weird shit like that make me shit my pants. There is nothing worse that could happen imo....
That said, kudos to someone getting to 115.. I just had a weird day today so Ignore my ramblings. |

Ah.. a Molyneux "game"
You gotta admire him, he always has cool ideas, sadly he never actually makes a game out of them. Basically, this is Black And White, without a creature..
Wow.. not hyped  |

Fair nuff... I was mostly angry about the price.. Not gonna pre-order it so.. no super villains for me
That they are selling building DLC months before release is.. pretty, fucking, low, though. EA is milking the first online Sim City beyond recognition and it makes it a worse game imo. Before ever having played it, and no doubt the actual simulation engine is gonna be ground-breaking. But what good is that when EA does everything to make me NOT buy the game?
Also I have to correct myself.. 80€ are 105$ ;p (wow... didn't think the $ was this strong.. weird) |

Of all the bad calls in that game this one is the one you pick, not the 10 minute contact confusion? ;p Looked to me like a case of general fucked up ness. And the the patriots lost.. the game was good entertainment Even to someone not usually watching American Football, it was just coincidence I saw the game.
That said the interference call was bullshit, but it had not turned the game, so whatever. |

Just a look at the pre-order page on Origin made me sick.. they sell 3 pointless building skins for 80€ (more than 130$!) and as pre-order bonus you get super heroes and super villains.. WHAT THE FUCK, Super heroes, in a SIM game?... I think EA thinks we are stupid or something. They can take their game and shove it...
It's just a disgrace what they do to this. |

Wow.. that was.. a pretty sparse preview.
3 screenshots, 8 sentences.. and that makes an article? Even a 3rd grader could be more descriptive. Also I hope these screenshots are just.. early builds.. because I counted not even 50 buildings in that one shot. I seriously hope that's not all 1 city is gonna be.
