http://www.vg247.com/2011/04/07/mass-effect-anime-film-to-release-in-2012/ There's an Anime Mass Effect movie due next year.

http://uk.comics.ign...?page=mediaFull Portal 2 comic. This is a preview, full release is expected tomorrow. It's bridging the gap between Portal 1 and Portal 2, so I'd say "spoilers"

Middle-click. Ora ctrl+click which is what I use since I hate over using the middle mouse button, tends to be the weakest. (that and "woot, keyboard shortcuts")

Yeah I'd consider 16GB of RAM overkill for even myself. 12GB at the absolute tops. Even that's still killer. I'd say 8GB's if you've got the cash. Then maybe upgrade in the future, but for now on a gaming PC I'd say 6GB. But yeah, sweet rig. please don't ever post 3Dmark scores.

I don't (because I can't) use this myself, but it's a cool little tool: https://market.andro...b=Autodesk+Inc. And at $1 a steal. Desktop version: http://www.amazon.co...chbook-Pro-2011 Very nifty and intuitive bit of software. The desktop version was made for like wacoms n the like so it ports over quite well to touchscreens.

Hating analogies is like hating children. Sure they're annoying but they're a required part of life or nothing would get done.

Didn't come with mine(2.1). Nor with Cyanogenmod 6.

Ah reet. Guess I'll stick goggles back on.

I use the barcode app for QR codes. Since Android Market uses QR codes seems like it'd make sense to have one built in.

It is of course nothing to do with getting folks onto EA Store or to do with the fact the game they're giving out for free has a sequel coming in a year or so (and a bunch of DLC available) I'd wager there's a huge overlap in DA n ME players anyway, so it's not like it'll cost em much. Last year valve gave out portal for free, both getting folks onto Steam, and growing the fanbase in preparation for Portal 2. If these people weren't going to have bought ME2 in the past year, the chances of them buying it any time soon is slim, so it's not like they're giving away something folks would buy.

Red Dead Redemption. Just killed Dutch. After that I think I'll chew through some New Vegas.

3rd down in my list

The bit where it's just filled up with bullets I think was in either some fan art of official art for the first one I think. Actually: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2010/04/01/bonus_3a00_-portal-2-art-gallery.aspx It's from early early Portal 2 concept artwork.

EVE was a pretty nice game to play, but far too much is just flying around in space on auto-pilot. It's not too daunting, it's just a game you'd play in amongst other games. And I'd prefer it if it was F2P for what it provides.

Didn't say it was the worst, just it's a fair dip below the original. Surely it's fair to expect at the very least a comparable product in the sequel? And it's quite possible that it's not the worst PC game of the year, doesn't mean it still can't be bad. Yeah my example was a bit iffy. About the closest I can think of as an actual example is that Need for Speed (hey isn't that an EA franchise? ) that had the xbox live messages in PS3 version or whatever (also I think COD map pack had references to XBL as well too). And people rightly complain. But you do the same on PC and it's elitist entitlement, or it's okay cos there's not just one model of PC, and I guess as implied from your response, because there's no MS or Sony equivalent to tell them to keep up the quality. Are devs really that bad that they need the manufacturers with cattle prods to make sure that the version of the game has the correct on-screen buttons to match the controller of the platform it's on? Generally folks pirate ports just to see how bad/good it is. If it's a perfect port it's worth a buy. If it's a shitty port then you know to steer clear. E.g I pirated Crysis 2, it was trash port, not buying it. I pirated Bulletstorm, as I mentioned it's a decent port. I'll be picking it up over summer hopefully. Look, PC multi-plat titles tend to come out the ginger step-child of the bunch, usually late, buggy, missing basic pc features, etc, so PC gamers have just reacted in kind. If there's a industry wide up tick in the quality of PC ports then people would have less reason to be unsure if the game they're being asked to dump £35 on is going to work or not.* When you buy a game you shouldn't be having to get community made config editors and importing textures from the first game to get it up to scratch. *which as a generally high class PC developer for the past decade Crytek actually had the get out of jail free card on if they're were going to be making a decent PC version. Then it all went a bit pete tong to the point it's more than likely tarnished their reputation of the past decade of games with PC gamers for a fair few years.

And dean comes in once agian: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/ I have a feeling this should actually really appeal to you guys as it gets most of the coding work out of the way, letting you focus on art and story. Oh and it's free like most the other stuff.

I'm still a Winamp guy but just thought I'd bring this to folks attention: http://lifehacker.com/#!5789144/new-android-music-player-leaks-adds-listening-history-touch-controls-and-a-very-pretty-interface

We've kinda really gone off topic here. Anywho, Crysis 2 PC version was a fair dip in quality over both the original Crysis and PC games in general. And I don't see how it's really excusable. Why does it have to be a exclusive title for us to expect at least the very basics of a PC title? They already had much of the things in place from the first game. Bulletstorm, a game that made no qualms on been a console port to the point the PC demo came out a month after release, is a better PC game than Crysis 2. And they didn't even come out n say how PC is totally the lead platform n shiz. Why should it be all groovy and excusable to shit on the PC version in multi-platform titles, especially when the company making the game has clearly shown they can make a PC game n a half? If the console version said "press F to open hatch", had stupidly high res textures that ground the game to a halt, or whatever, I'm pretty sure console guys would be up in arms. But for some reason devs are fine to make the console version cool, and just shit out a PC version and expect cash for it.

Heh, Manly Things.

USER HAS BEEN WARNED FOR THIS POST.

The anonymous attack is more than likely spurred on by Sony getting the IP's of folks who went to Hotz site. I have a feeling that DDOSing sites n services is only a part time thing for Anon members in their other spare time maybe they go about hacking their PS3's. So yeah, just a case of trying to not get their IP's out there.
