Send them your videocard??? I have never heard such a thing. What, they don't have any Nvidia Geforce videocards laying around there at Nvidia?
They'll have reference boards, it's possible the problem is with modifications other manufacturers have added to the cards later and that's what they want to see. |

I don't get them with Battlefield 3, but I get them every time I start Rift right now after installing the newest driver.
I've also got the same power save problem as Beamer, and have had it since I installed the GTX570. I'm happy with the performance in games, but all these side issues are crap I never had when I had ATI cards...I doubt I'll buy another Nvidia card again after this one. |

Alright, now at least it's becoming legitimate competition for Steam, and there's an actual POINT to Origin.
I guess...there's still three or four places that are better to buy games online than Origin with lower prices or a better selection or both. With the added publishers it's like Impulse only crappier.

He only quoted a few sentences from everyday Trade Chat business.
That was my first thought. He's only playing to the crowd, among whom that sort of thing is pretty standard conversational fare. |

Baseball seems to be the only sport in the world that goes out of its way to make sure that fans CAN'T actually watch the product they're trying to sell. Well, I guess hockey does it too.
Well, hockey is only because Bettman gambled with their broadcasting contract and lost big time for fans everywhere. So it's not just single games that are a problem, it's pretty much every game...that's better, right :p . At least the suck is consistant.
On the bright side, FSN shows Wild games up here on a pretty regular basis and it's a channel that even the backwoods cable companies carry. Pens games (I'm a long-time Penguins fan, woo) aren't on unless NBC carries one on the weekend randomly, but at least you can listen for free on their web site and the radio announcer is better than anyone you'll get on TV anyway.
VS. has games, but nobody carries the channel.

Demon's Souls was the exact same way. Heavy Armor is basically crap because dodging is the ONLY way to avoid all damage. Heavy Armor only worked in DS because of most shields' ability to block all physical damage... but that didn't help at all against bosses.
Heavy armor makes a huge difference in general survival, though, especially if you don't know the areas well enough to do your own type of speed run like the video. Keep your equipped weight under half your maximum and you can still move and roll very quickly, which is all that matters. There's no good reason to only wear light armor in the game when you can keep the same defensive benefits and still have armor that can withstand a hit.

They pretty much were throwing the gauntlet down to WoW claiming to be better.
Because what they should have done in their advertising campaign is say, "WoW is better, but please play our game instead!"
Unless you're doing end-game progressing raiding, RIFT actually IS better, at least in my opinion. I like it enough to have never looked back at Warcraft, anyway. |

| I actually liked Privateer 2. I didn't think the game was as poorly received as the Clive Owen article says it was. |

Publicly.
There are plenty of stories out here in the Bay Area of people that Steve helped in moments of crisis or need, and he never felt the need to turn it into a PR fest. Case and point: his gardener's son.
I'm not sure if you're intentionally suggesting that Bill Gates is tooting his own horn with his charitable work, but...stories of helping out a few random people and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation don't really compare. |

It's all about making money. I fear designing with consoles in mind is the way to do that best 
I think most reasonable people understand that already, the issue comes with the difficulty in explaining why a game like Deus Ex can give a good PC experience with all the bells and whistles you'd expect but RAGE can't.
Leading with another platform doesn't, or shouldn't, mean that what you wind up with on the PC is just a straight port with no consideration for the platform. The effort put into the development for the PC version is exactly the problem in the first place, not which technology it runs on. |

There's two major issues that aren't being addressed by this as well;
1. They subsidize the shit out of development in rural areas like where I live, and then the companies turn around and charge us out the ass for the absolute minimal service that they can provide to an area.
2. There's absolutely no competition in these areas after they do it. One provider runs a monopoly on broadband over an entire region, so there's no recourse for frequent outages, billing "errors", and everything else that becomes common practice.
And, in a brilliant stroke of irony, my internet connection died yet again just as I was about to post this...and mine is pretty good compared to most of the rural areas around here. |

RAGE is already very pretty. Making it prettier isn't going to solve the problems people have with the game itself.
Yep. The game looks good, although the tweaks will be nice. In my opinion at least, it just isn't any fun. |

I’ve played all three of the games, and I never once said oh look, this looks just like Borderlands. In fact I never once got that impression.
Come on, really? I don't see how you can't look at the bandits in RAGE and see the same type of guys from Borderlands. They're so similar it's unavoidable to draw a comparison. They each have their own thing to them, but people aren't comparing them because of only the setting...most of the talk for the last two years has included all three names in every preview.
The Ars review is unfortunately spot on about the game, though. Maybe once the mod tools are released things will get better, but right now...if I were to write a review that's the one I would write. |

Allow me to make it relevant:
In Launch Commands for RAGE in Steam, add: +set com_allowConsole 1
^D^
I've seen the thread (I see there's a new story posted with it), but the commands don't seem to even do anything. Other people seem to have noted that in the thread as well. |
