Ha, I completely forgot about the USB spikes in the early days. I also vividly remember deciding, "I'll stick to CDs."
Great point. I can't wait for things to continue growing as they are for gaming!
Style? It's a silicon die placed on a piece of metal, which is then coated in thermalpaste and covered by a heatsink. Where exactly does "style" come into play when choosing a CPU? Performance - sure. Style? There's nothing to be seen or show off.
Obvious troll is obvious.
This build is incredibly powerful for the price. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I can't believe you can now get 16GB of RAM for the same price it was to get 4GB of RAM only a few years ago.
Nothing new here. Move along, citizen.
Worthwhile post nonetheless.
Still way too expensive for peripherals.
Not many surprises in there, but great to see some industry news.
I think it depends on what type of gamer you are. I tend to prefer exploration and adventure games, and while I like building games, I inevitably burn out and get bored of them. This happens much less often in adventure games (for me).
Agreed, I love the overall art direction and the focus on exploration and adventure. I feel like it's what an endless world form of Zelda would be like...
The art's kinda fun. Disney games have been historically atrocious - I'm surprised to see one scoring decently!
They still make these games? I think the last baseball game I played was on the NES.
Not surprising, really.
Is there a feature that lets you roll around on the field screaming, only to let you get back up and play when no one cares? :P
PvP has never been extremely important to me in MMOs. I reserve that for RTS games, typically.
Sweet! Glad to see games coming into the light at awards ceremonies more often.
Spahs sappin mah videos!
So much Metal Gear, so little metal! Nicely done.
Agreed! I wonder what kind of mod support it will have. :)
Terrain modification would definitely be nice for building purposes. I'd imagine mining is quite a big addition, I think I would rather have that development time spent on unique creatures :D
I'm seeing mixed thoughts on this game so far... going to skip it for now, methinks.
There is absolutely no reason to get a liquid cooler. Closed-circuit liquid coolers are just as effective as mechanical ones. Unless you're prepared to spend $200+ on a full, recirculating liquid cooler, there's simply no reason to get one unless you're a serious overclocker or you just want to look cool.
Even the stock heatsink is perfectly fine on a Sandy Bridge CPU, unless you're really beating it up with something (overvolting, serious benchmarking, etc). ...
