Capcom Disallows Deleting Save Progress with Latest NDS Title
More often than not, if I return to a game after not touching it for a while, I’ll start my quest over from the start, to take in the game as if it were my first time through. In fact, I am currently doing this with Mafia II for the third time, and have been loving it. Well, imagine if you were to purchase a game where starting over from scratch simply wasn’t possible…
Using a Computer Without a Mouse for a Week
At tech site ITworld, there’s a feature called ‘I’ll Try It!’ where one lucky (or unlucky) person gets to live for seven days doing something unconventional, to see how they’ll get by. Normally, I’d be up for all sorts of challenges, because how bad could they be? Well, a recent challenge laid out by the site and bestowed upon one editor makes me…
Lamptron Releases FC9 Fan Controller
Bigger is better, right? Lamptron sure thinks so and has just announced the launch of its FC9 fan controller to try and prove it. This controller promises to be able to handle just about anything that users can throw at it, and then some. It features the same CNC milled silver or black anodized aluminum face plate that has become something of a…
Mozilla Releases Thunderbird 5.0
Last week saw the release of Mozilla’s latest Web browser, Firefox 5, while this week, e-mail lovers get treated to a fresh Thunderbird release, also versioned 5. “What happened to 4???” Great question, but one that’s easily answered. The ‘rapid release’ schedule that Mozilla created for Firefox and its back-end Gecko also…
nD Handheld Gaming Console Set to Cost $10
Looking to get your mobile game on, but don’t want to spend too much cash? If so, the upcoming handheld ‘nD’ might be right up your alley. It’s being developed by Robert Pelloni, creator of the upcoming Bob’s Game for the Nintendo DS (and nD), and his project is truly ambitious. He aims to build each of these units and not make a profit…
Crysis 2 DirectX 11 Comparison Video Posted
Earlier, we posted about the trio of patches that were released for Crysis 2, which introduces alongside bug fixes an ‘Ultra’ mode and DirectX 11 support. We were unable to provide a video to actually show you what has been updated, however. Well, since then, EA has sent along an official comparison video that will leave no doubts in your mind…
Best Buy Suspends MacBook Air Orders Pending Refresh
Progress marches on and it looks like it’s Best Buy who is high stepping to Apple’s beat. Today it was reported that the retail giant has suspended online sales of the current MacBook Air in preparation for Apple’s refresh of the little white laptop. The reason for all of this is the expected upgrades in the form of Intel’s Sandy Bridge processor…
Crysis 2 DirectX 11 Patch Released
As expected, EA and Crytek today released a couple of patches for Crysis 2 that enables an ‘Ultra’ mode, DirectX 11 abilities, and the opening of an ‘Advanced’ graphics configuration menu. With these upgrades, the game becomes more like the original Crysis in terms of customization, and it’s nice to see. Many gamers believe…
Unboxing ASUS’ F1A75-M PRO Socket FM1 Motherboard
We took a look at GIGABYTE’s ATX A75-UD4H motherboard a couple of weeks ago, and in the post, I mentioned that I’d love to take a look at an mATX FM1 board since that seems to be the perfect platform for what AMD’s upcoming Lynx chips are going to be offering. Well, lo and behold, an ASUS F1A75-M PRO showed up last week…
Quake I Turns 15; What Are Your Memories?
Alright, I’m not sure how I let this one slip under my radar, and I really can’t believe it’s been a full fifteen years since Quake hit the PC, but it’s true. The game that followed in the footsteps of Wolfenstein 3D and Doom wouldn’t have been easy to fill, but Quake managed to do the job. At its release, Quake had truly incredible graphics…
A Quick Look at Sabayon 6
Today, it’s not difficult to find a ‘great’ distro, one that makes it easy to get up and running with a fully functional and robust desktop, fast. Even just five years ago, though, finding a ‘do it all’ distro was a little more difficult, and it was for that reason that I found myself loving Sabayon Linux (pronounced Sah-by-yon (silent ‘n’)). Despite being built on…
Team Fortress 2 Releases The ‘Uber’ Update; Becomes Free to Play
Shortly after launching the first several free-to-play games on Steam, Valve has added one more to the list: Team Fortress 2. While this won’t come as a surprise to some given the notoriously steep discounts TF2 often received during frequent sales, until now the game has varied between the price of one or two Mann Co keys. As of today…
Changing the Focus of a Photo After it’s Taken with Light Field Technology
To some, there are few things on earth more fun than snapping photos. Some use their cameras for pleasure, others use it for business, while some even manage to do it for both. If there’s one complaint that all photographers share, though, it’s that a poor focus can ruin what could have been an amazing shot. Most often, no amount…
Tinyhack – A Fun 9×9 Adventure Game
An all-too-unfortunate belief in gaming is that graphics = awesome, but in a lot of cases, that’s just not the case. There have been a countless number of big-budget titles released over the years that have had mind-blowing graphics, that were just no fun to play. Alright… some have downright sucked. Taking the belief that graphics…
Fujitsu K Computer Takes First Place in TOP500 List of Supercomputers
Remember that 2.6 petaflop monster supercomputer from China, the Tianhe-1A, you know, only the fastest super computer known to man? That’s so 6 months ago and so slow. This week saw a new supercomputer rise to the top spot, the K Computer from Japan with a dizzying 8.16 petaflops under Linpack – and it’s not even complete…
Take-Two CEO Confirms More Duke Nukem IP in the Future
After we posted our look at Duke Nukem Forever, I followed-up with a post that encouraged Gearbox to not give up on the series, even if the reviews for the latest game weren’t too flattering. Duke titles in the 90s were fun and well-received, and for the most part, there’s been moderate success with Duke console originals and even…
What Good is the Cloud with Capped Bandwidth?
If some companies are to be believed, we all belong in the cloud. That includes our information, documents, photos, music and sometimes, even our movies. Either by phone or at home, we can use a lot of bandwidth, and with companies shifting some major focus to the ‘cloud’, that means data caps are going to become a huge problem…
OCZ Launches Deneva 2 SSDs Targeting Enterprise Solutions
It is one thing to offer to sell an existing product to the server market, but quite another to offer to sell directly to enterprise customers looking for custom designs. That may be why OCZ has just announced the Deneva 2 SSD line. Not content with just offering static SF-2582 powered SSDs such as the Vertex 3 Pro (equivalent to the consumer SF-2281)…
Nokia Announces First MeeGo-based Phone: N9
MeeGo’s future has never been too certain, and it was made even more uncertain earlier this month after a notable spat within Nokia involving MeeGo supporter Richard Green occurred earlier this month. At that time, it became questionable as to whether or not Nokia was even planning to fulfill its original goal to see a product hit the…
Deaf Group Sues Netflix Over Lack of Subtitles
Among the more than 100,000 movies Netflix offers through its on-demand service, a mere 30% are equipped with subtitles. This is a reason for concern, according to the National Association of the Deaf, whom declare that Netflix is violating the Americans with Disabilities Act by not providing the same sort of access to its content…
ICANN Approves Custom Top-Level Domains
ICANN, the organization responsible for the handling of the Internet’s “names and numbers” has passed a rather historical plan that will allow companies or people the opportunity to create a custom “general” top-level domain (.com, .org, .net, et cetera). Picture for example focus.ford, vita.playstation or microsoft.windows – it’ll be…
Mozilla Releases First ‘Rapid Release’ Firefox, 5.0
It’s been a mere three months since we all welcomed Firefox 4 with open arms, but the time has come to put that out-dated browser out to pasture and move onto the bigger, better and badder 5! Alright, so this might be a ‘major’ release given that Mozilla has upped its release schedule to see four new version increments each year…
Ordering Groceries Online with Amazon Fresh
The business of delivering groceries straight to the customer’s door is a tough one, and up to now there hasn’t been definitive success – not even from Walmart. But, Amazon sees past that challenge and has revived its ‘Fresh’ service with limited access in Seattle that allows customers to purchase their groceries and other items…
GOG.com Marks Entire Interplay Catalogue to 50% Off
Looking to get some classic gaming action going this summer but don’t want to break the bank? GOG.com, a service that prides itself on offering the classics for reasonable prices, has taken things one step further with its ‘Staycation’ promotion, where the entire Interplay catalogue has been marked down 50%, resulting in a cost…
ASUS Holding ‘Formula X’ Computer Enthusiast Event this Weekend
If you live in or around the Sunnyvale, California area, then the place to be this coming weekend is Frys, where ASUS and a bevvy of sponsors are holding what the company touts as being a “Computer Enthusiast” event. Unlike a traditional “overclocking event” or “LAN”, ASUS has combined those two things together and tossed…
