Really loving this song. Heard it on Above and Beyond's podcast and it's been a regular on my playlists since.

This is the main reason why I'm skipping the PS4. For now, anyway. I simply don't have as much interest in console exclusives as I used to. When the 360/PS3 gen started, I bought in when I saw Gears of War. It blew me away and I just had to have it. I bought a PS3 because I had a brand new...

Why is 'The Last Guardian' on that list? And why do people keep saying that games on PS+ are free?

Linear increase. 3,000mah is the same size as the LG G2, which has incredible battery life. AnandTech | LG G2 and MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 - Mini Review The Nexus 5 should, in theory, have even better battery life than the G2 due to the slightly smaller screen and the addition of...

This Japanese site has the Nexus 5 listed for a November 14th release. GEKKOCO. ????????????????? ???*? They also list the 32gb version as having a 3,000mah battery. So tempted..

OIS is a pretty big deal, in my opinion. It's what allows the HTC One, LG G2, Nokia Lumia 920/928/1020 to take really great low light shots. There's a good primer on how it works here -Optical Image Stabilization The TLDR is - it allows more light to hit the sensor without the image going...

I'd be very surprised if it comes out at the same cost of the Nexus 4, but I'm not expecting it to cost the same as the other high end phones, either. I think it'll get a $50 price increase over the Nexus 4, which would be fine in my book. As much as I want to sit this update out, I'm really...

NVIDIA: for consoles to have better graphics than PC - NeoGAF ^ This thread was particularly bad. 90% of the posters should have been banned.

Definitely agreed that Gaf posters lack any business knowledge. There are some good posters, but they're unfortunately drowned out by the legions of clueless idiots that post retarded drivel. Was it always this bad? Or is this a more recent development? Anyway.. I also agree with the rest of...

And Then Steve Said, 'Let There Be an iPhone' - NYTimes.com Great article about the development of the original iPhone. Worth a read.

The high end steambox with high end components is going to be expensive? What a shocking surprise! Neogaf is such a fucking terrible forum nowadays. Reading that thread gave me a headache.

One of my best mates is a huge Platinum Games fan. He buys all their games day one and plays the absolute shit out of them. He found the Wonderful 101 to be rather disappointing, and he called it, and I quote, "probably the worst Platinum game". It seems to be an incredibly divisive title...

Well, it didn't give me an 'unable to connect to the cloud' error or anything. It just loaded up the character select and my characters was gone. And I was definitely playing online yesterday because there were other people in my game. Anyway.. I just sold my copy. Demand for this game is...

Just lost my third character. What the fuck, Rockstar? I'm done with this game. And I agree with Sean. The GTA:O world feels so barren and lifeless compared to the single player. Quite disappointing.

I finally managed to get the online working and I played for a good 2 hours. For some reason, the game just kicked me back to the single player mode and now my gta online character has disappeared. What a fucking joke.

Hahaha. To be honest, I don't really mind the server issues. I was expecting them anyway. I don't appreciate the game crashing my PS3, though. That's pretty fucked up.

Tried GTA Online. My PS3 froze while loading the first race. Great. Rebooted it, and re-entered GTA online. Once again, my PS3 froze at the first race, except this time the sound started looping like crazy. Hrm. Rockstar really fucked this up.

I was going off some testing I did 10 years ago back when I used to play professional CS. Out of boredom, me and my bro rigged up some tests to see if we could tell the difference between various frame rates. I was able to tell the difference between 90 and 120 fps around 90% of the time. As you...

Well, like I said, I can see the difference between 90fps and 120fps very easily, so even switching from 120fps to 60fps is jarring to me. When I was younger, I would have done all my gaming on a 120hz-144hz monitor for sure, but I just don't give a shit nowadays. I'm a lot more relaxed about...

I'm very sensitive to frame rates and input latency, so I know first hand that plasmas aren't as good as 120hz-144hz monitors on that front. I can easily tell the difference between 90fps and 120fps, for example, which most people can't do. For televisions and casual gaming (as in, single...

Right, which makes a plasma a better choice than a regular LCD, but an inferior choice to a 120hz/144hz monitor (note: not a 120hz/240hz television that uses motion interpolation to fake its smoothness). 120-144hz monitors are also designed specifically to reduce latency, which plasmas...

double post. whoops.

Read my edit. It's not about motion resolution (which I agree is better on a plasma than virtually every LCD/LED) but input latency, responsiveness, and smoothness. 120hz-144hz monitors simply show more frames, leading to a smoother, more accurate picture. It also gives your brain more time...

I have a top end Panasonic plasma. It's not anywhere as good as a high end 120-144hz monitor, especially for twitch games (Counter Strike:GO, Quake Live, etc.). Just a shame there's no IPS 120-144hz panels. It's not about motion resolution, anyway. It's about reducing input latency and...

It depends entirely on the haptic feedback. If it's good, you won't care about the lack of d-pad. If it's bad, then yeah, it'll be a problem.

I thought this post on HN was interesting. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6458171 There's definitely some interesting possibilities here.

Calling it "just" a trackpad is disingenuous, because this one has haptic feedback incorporated into it. Haptic feedback simulates physical textures on surfaces like glass and trackpads. It's fascinating technology -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiCqlYKRlAA. If the haptic stuff works well, the...

Indeed. And if it doesn't work, it's not like the design is set in stone. Valve can (and probably will) change it before release. Edit - The button layout doesn't look too bad. Easy access to 8 buttons without having to move your fingers. Haptics sound pretty awesome, too.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/7371/u...cs-api-for-gcn This is potentially a big deal, considering Mantle should have linux/steamos support. It should make it much easier for the big development houses to port their stuff over to the PC (or, at least to PCs running AMD hardware).

I'm guessing you're using a slow 5,400 rpm hard drive in your PS3? A 7,200 rpm hard drive or an ssd should clear up the streaming issues.

Are you using a disc? Or did you buy it off PSN? Supposedly the PSN version has texture streaming problems.

Jeff Walker's PLF is pretty legit. I know tons of people who have it setup and run it once a month to sell info products and they're cleaning up. You can get it for free in tons of places, though. Just search on Google or try to snag an invite for the TV.bz torrent site. My main problem with...

From the FAQ - It looks like Valve are trying to emulate Google's Android strategy. They're building the software and pushing hardware vendors to release their own hardware to run it. I'm sure companies like Dell, HP, etc. will build their own Steam Machines, but it's possible that companies...

All seems fairly reasonable. It's a shame they didn't show any prototype hardware, though. Looks like the controller reveal will be on Friday. Edit - The more I think about this, the more I like it. It feels like Valve is combining the best parts of the PC (flexibility, upgradability, modding...

Sony expected Microsoft to release another Xbox 360; Microsoft expected Sony to release another PS3.

802.11ac hardware is more power efficient, iirc. It has some other benefits too - it's not just about speed. I mean, it's not a deal breaker, but it is disappointing, especially considering Apple kept calling the 5s the 'most forward thinking iPhone yet!'.

Some Nexus 5 pictures were uploaded (accidentally?) to the FCC website. Phone looks good. The bezels are tiny. Lots more here -http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/09...or-verizon-g2/

Ah, shit. So I did. My bad. Yeah, to be honest, I hardly notice a difference myself. Either my ears aren't sensitive enough or my audio equipment isn't good enough. Either way, I'm not too bothered. My current audio setup is good enough for my tastes. I'm going away for the weekend so I'll...

There is a good quality release out now. The problem is it has gigantic asian subtitles. The blu-ray isn't due out until the end of November. I doubt there'll be any leaks/releases for 2~ish months.
