| I don't like Steam. In fact I hate it. I dont wanna install all my games on the same partition because I have several partitions. I can patch my games myself all it takes is a download and a click. Very technical huh. And all the bells and whistles like the achievements and such that are supposed to be the latest craze (Oh What a turn on) whereas the software itself belongs to the Prehistory of interface coding. I hate it and I don't care that you like it. I hate it because I am forced to use it. I dont want it on my hard disk thank you. I only want the games. |

| Sooo all the games from Bethesda have "a" vulnerability that makes them crash? What a revelation? Hello! All their past releases since daggerfall and Skynet have been buggy as hell and have crashed countless times. Skyrim and Fallout and Oblivion have been the more stable games they've released. Which doesnt mean they never crashed. TES online wouldn't be a real elder scroll games if it didnt crash on me a couple of time. |

An interesting setting... except.. Why did I bother win all the previous Wolfenstein games if it is to have the nazis win world war II?? Doh all that work for nothing!!
The only thing that could redeem it is a nazi boss that looks like Horst Tappert :p |

There's no reason that a new car should require an actual human to drive it in 10 years time.
I can find a reason. Survival instinct, the will to live... Well twenty years ago I thought we'd be driving flying cars so I cant really criticize your optimism.
Anyhow that article really sounded like a late April food joke to me. |

I don't know about Iphone but I can only lament that my galaxyS2 is not built around the basic function. Which is or rather should be phonecalls. Well making a phonecall requires a swype gesture answering one also. Then the absence of a physical button for that requires you to look at the screen. In a perfect world I would say that those two facts contribute to deter people from phoning while driving but it's not the case and it only contributes to making people who phone while driving more dangerous as they look at screen and have to use two hands to answer calls or make them.
On android when I got started, if the contacts was pushed to the groups tab it makes the phone tab disappear entirely. As a newcomer I didnt know where it went and for a few days I could only make phone calls from contact list.
My point? in an emergency situation when you are stressed out, are wounded, for a reason have only one hand available ( say your arm is in a cast or you are carrying something) or using someone else's phone. Smartphones are ridiculously hard to use to start with. |

| Is that supposed to be a remake of the original? And by a European studio? Does it mean Beth is planning to have this one and maybe later Daggerfall redone by outside studios to make them more in line with theit latest installments starting from Morrowind and including Elder scrolls online?? Doh!!!! |

| Well no point in making a directx12 if directx11 isnt utilized yet. Consoles will most certainly use 11 so that means it's going to be around for 10 more years at least. MS might want to focus on developing products they can actually sell. |

Well I really thought that was 3D. Looks nice for an isometric game. Much better than Diablo III actually. But I am not sure what the deal is. it's not like 3D is expensive to compute nowadays.
So I am figuring out they are not using geometry but they are using 3D rendering technologies like normal mapping which allows the will o the wisp to cast realistic light on the statue.. Was pretty clever when John Carmack demoed that technology on the low rez models in Doom3 tech demos and I guess it still looks clever today.

It's weird, he features look half-Asian, half Caucasian. I wonder if that's to appeal to a broader, more international audience?
Personally, I kind of like the new look.
hmm I don't know, asians do appeal to the part of the caucasian audience that is me :p As do caucasians and half asians too to be honest :p
Ok to be serious... this kind of "technological patch" has me wonder why Nvidia bothered purchasing PhysX at all. I mean what have they brought forward in term of graphical revolution with this purchase? Better capes in Batman Arkham City? Aww come on. Can't say that's the be all end all of modern graphics but it's been a while we were waiting for that graphical improvement to appear in games. ( I know I was at least :p) Reminds me when bump mapping normal mapping appeared in video games. It's starting to be a while already since we've seen that sweet candy appear. Since then developers have been quite content with the status quo it would seem. Actually it's been a while I've been waiting for a new improvement of this scope. I am betting this one will make babies and we'll see nice-looking hair in plenty of videogames soon. This is something which might have come up thanks to physx and that would have heralded an era of realistic hair fur grass leaves and cloth physix. This is a missed opportunity as something Nvidia has failed to cash on when they purchased PhysX.
An opportunity missed for the gaming community too because the games that come out today don't use all the power of the videocards and a success with pushing this technology could have brought with it more innovation. This might still be the case but I doubt this studio has the stature to bring it on all on its own.

Most people have an older computer that runs well enough for their needs.
Well the jumps in raw processing power for pcs in the past decades brought about the possibility of making powerful processors the size of a toenail. If Nvidia and the likes weren't contenting with that huge market and they came to bring about new relevant innovation to pc gaming that might lead the leap forward. this said devs are already not using the full power of current hardware.. so manufacturers cant really be blamed... Physx anyone? Well it's a period of maturity instead of innovation and it's q good thing for developers. People who dont buy hardware have a better budget and they have more time to produce polished products. Actually the last game that I remember as potentially pushing techmology was Rage as a card with more than 1k in ram was necessary to get a decent resolution ( in bestcase) and it was received by fans with shotgun shells. So I suppose a golden age of innovation cannot be dictated. As far as tablets go I wouldnt buy one to play games.. I have big fingers and they tend to hide what happens on screen. I wouldnt mind a tablet used as a pc peripheral though. Maybe a small one that replaces the numpad on the keyboard. Maybe devs will start implementing secondary touch interfaces for their games but I hope it's not restricted to win8 rigs. |

Political correctness is a disease. Pure and simple. Political correctness is the ideal of considering others' feeling and not being an asshole. No, that existed long before the phrase political correctness was coined. And sorry but that definition seems fairly incomplete as under that definition, an American black street kid calling another "nigger" in a tv series like the wire would be being political correct.
It seems that political correctness is used nowadays to address a situation some people are getting paternalistic and overprotective nay hypocritical using euphemism with some issues. For instance calling blind people visually challenged. Black people coloured people. As such it's a bad thing because on grounds on being nice and respectful ( it starts as being the opposite of using disparaging words ) it puts on the same example having a handicap ( which is a bad thing in itself ) and belonging to a minority. ( which isn't )
