So long story short, I’m in the penalty box for YouTube. I had the ability to upload longer than average clips all was going well and good. I grabbed a video with viral-potential from Facebook because no one had done it yet. It was from my home state, shared by one of my friends so I figured I had the jump on it and could possibly get some visibility for my channel. I sucked it down and uploaded it to my channel. It was the MA guy yelling at the sunfish “I think it’s a dead whale, Jay!” and apparently…
Checking in with GeForce 3D in the face of VR Headsets
3D was a phase. I was in denial. I know how computer 3D came and go but the underlying technology was sound and would live on. At the time, the next version of my card did not have 3D but this is the 3D that it had, complete with the same NVidia test pattern they use with the N that floats out in front of you. Same one. Anyhow — I still have faith, because GeForce isn’t getting rid of it and games are going to be made more and more sprite-less, meaning no glitches and such. Bad 3D, like…
Fallout 4 Season Pass 15% Off
PC Gamer has some pretty good deals this week: I thought the The Fallout 4 Season Pass was a pretty good deal, but I am still protesting DLCs so only when they’re really really good. It only recently came out and they announced the details last week? a.) Most people have not finished it yet. b.) Step 3.
The Division: Streaming to Twitch: Beta Review
Few screenshots, some 4k, some not. Two EVGA 980ti: 20 to 30fps @ 4k 70fps vsync @ 1080 NVidia doesn’t even have an optimized driver for this one yet. The city looks alive-ish, Multiplayer started out really cool — I had help from real people, we all ran into the fire together. Once I took the base, then I had to go looking for people for each mission. I didn’t discover this until later. They’ve got some reworking to do. You need people all over, fighting for both sides or it might get a little crowded. The cover system could…
Rise of the Tomb Raider et al
Ok, so QTE aside (it’s minimal) they really stepped up the tech. It doesn’t quite look as smooth as it could, snow vs Assassins Creed III, as an example, but there were multiple times I was in awe. It played less like an interactive movie, and more like a book I couldn’t put down. It was all I could do to stop after the obligatory flash back sequence. I can only hope it’s at least as long as the first one. I purposely read very little about games now a days. Prior to that it was 3D Mark, a brief…

Tomb Raider 2013: Revisit
With Rise of the Tomb Raider on its way, I thought it might be a good time to take a second look at the one that got it all going again. I can’t believe it was 2013, seems like a long time ago. The hair was the big thing, it looked incredible… But yippy couldn’t actually play with it on. I had 2 780ti cards and it would struggle with the hair. Perhaps the physics dipped the performance, everything r else was ultra but not the hair. Today it was a single 980ti and even the hair was swaying. With…
