    Wost Computer Disaster You've Ever Suffered

    One day my hand-me-down custom mediocre computer decides it won't start up at all - no power supplied to the machine at all when you try and turn it on. So I open it up, have a look and can't figure out what was wrong (younger me didn't really know all the insides of a PC just yet). After...

    GTA V Ending Discussion (Obvious Spoilers)

    Chose the "Death Wish" mainly because I don't want to lose out on that completion and I'd hate to be barred from playing one of the characters post game but I still made a save to play the other two options. Killing Michael was a bit sad but mehh, however I really felt bad for trevor when...

    Your school experience

    Seems like I'm part of the minority that enjoyed my time at school (in the UK) Primary (Year 4-8) was pretty good, making different groups of friends depending on who were in my classes and you pick up truer friends along the way. Teachers were fine too. Bullied a tiny bit but not to the...

    XBone E3 show was done on a high end PC, not a console

    This just in, The many of the games shown at E3 by Sony were confirmed by developers to be actually running on a console dev-kit. Shows how far behind Microsoft may be with their SDKs and drivers. Funny those PCs in the picture are running on Nvidia (not AMD) and W7 (not W8)

    Xbox One Games At E3 were running on a windows 7 with Nividia GTX cards.

    The cinema blend article in the link has been updated to mention that PS4 developers confirmed their games were running on actual console dev-kits :O Being less than half a year away from the release of both consoles would have me somewhat worried about the state of the Xbone SDK and...

    Why Are You Buying a Console?

    Recently got a gaming pc last year so as of then - exclusives, those particular games I like to play with console-friends and for those times when I just want plug and play game sessions instead of sitting at a desk with mouse and keyboard.

    PS4 Online Multiplayer Requires PS+ Subscription

    This makes the subscription service between Sony and Microsoft a bit closer but the former still takes the cake based on the benefits of the paid service. I had a slight anticipation that Sony would stop free online gaming because it seemed from a business point of view, a natural...

    Update: PlayStation 4's Appearance Finally Unveiled

    I honestly think it looks slim and sleek. Not as stylish as people's apparent expectations but it I would definitely not call it ugly. (Tbh the Xbox One isn't "ugly" per-se, it's just siding on the more plain and dull side) Looks aside, when they revealed the console I was most happy about...

    Poll: Modern Technology and my lack of Excitement over it.

    I too am not really understanding the main point of OP's argument. I would also say that the whole deal about smartphones being oudated withing a few months is a tad over-exaggerated. With regards to technology in general, I just think that we've progressed so far in the past 100 years that...

    Poll: Do we really want next Gen consoles?

    I like to describe the next console generation as a natural progression. I think we're at a point where hardware must be updated to catch up with the progression of technology since the release of this current gen of consoles. With the release of a new generation comes will come games with...

    Joining the PC Master Race... recommendations?

    Well if you are looking for a gaming laptop and want the option of upgrading I'd suggest getting a Clevo P170EM/Sager NP9170. Like you OP, I wanted a PC for gaming as well but needed mobility because of how frequently I move around places and hence getting a desktop rig would be far too...

    We Really, Really Don't Need New Consoles

    There have been articles quoting Sony staff saying they won't make the sae mistake with the PS4 as they did with the PS3 in terms of pricing so and I predict Sony to deliver on having a range of games based on the current support for the new consoles shown by developers. I think it's Mark Cerny...

    We Really, Really Don't Need New Consoles

    Regarding the relationship between consumer, developer and console I also meant that it could go either way when I mentioned a 'circle of life' but I guess I should have elaborated Yeah I regretted posting the last paragraph shortly after when I realised it would imply the opposite to...

    We Really, Really Don't Need New Consoles

    "Another Sony executive stated that PS4 is not the successor of PS3, but an addition to the PlayStation family." http://www.techhunter.co.uk/technology/ps4-news-release-date-event/04203/ Taken from a Tech Hunter article since I couldn't find another source with a more direct quotation and...

    We Really, Really Don't Need New Consoles

    I think a lot of people here are missing the point of Yahtzee's article - "The main problem has been the old classic: not enough games" The Wii U isn't selling well mainly because there aren't enough good games for it. In my opinion the Wii U didn't have attractive enough features in order...
