Seems like the site is broken. Why did it even occur to you to use anything other than the standard year format?

I turn mine off at night, then turn it on in the morning before I get in the shower. It doesn't use any power overnight and I don't have to wait on it at all. *Edit* - I had a problem a few times with the cat turning it off, but I just changed the Windows power settings so that the power button doesn't do anything.

Project Christine, being developed by Razer. Each module contains a different component, and is supposed to be entirely self-contained, with all the necessary tech for it to run (other than power), so you avoid the possibility of cascading upgrades due to incompatible interfaces or whatever. The backbone is built on a PCIE interface. Each module is also sound-dampened and mineral oil cooled. Seems like a neat, if impractical, idea. Here are Engadget's and PCWorld's thoughts. *Edit* - Damnit, ninjad.

I turn my desktop off overnight. I hibernate my laptop unless I'm planning to use it again in the next few hours, in which case I put it in standby. I don't use my laptop very often though cause something about its battery interface is fucked up so it won't recharge its battery, meaning I have to have it plugged in in order to use it.

Oh yay, I love games with cards I can sell for free money.

You're not streaming the game code, you're streaming video of the game being run on some Sony servers somewhere, like how the Vita streams from the PS4. As long as the game runs on Sony's servers it will also run on your PS4 or your Vita or your Sony TV or whatever device Sony decides to make a streaming client for. You may run into latency/bandwidth issues, but there shouldn't be any compatibility issues.

Ultimately the idea is to get bigger games running natively on SteamOS though, not just rely on streaming.

I actually would have kind of liked if they'd played with that in the game, having things in different relation to each other depending on where you need to go or what part of the story you're at.

Wow, that in-line ad at the end of that article is awful. *Edit* - To provide some sources for Goh's statement about sales, Xbone has sold "over 3 million units", PS4 has sold 4.2 million.

I had to click on it just to find out what it is. It's a game called League of Angels, which appears to be some F2P CCG.

Super Street Fighter X Turbo Hyper Ultimate Edition. Squared.

Ah, so it's "International" because it's an updated Japanese version that incorporates changes made in the foreign localizations. That actually makes sense.

I actually didn't even realize anything was ever officially titled the "International" version anywhere. I thought it was just a term used unofficially to describe differences between various versions.

No it doesn't. The engine's shaft is already turning at a right angle to the direction the chain is turning, so they have to be using some kind of direction-changing linkage to get the blade to move that way anyway. Just take that same linkage but put it on its side and the only change would be which way the blade is moving, in all other ways it would be mechanically identical.

Just saying, it's not as ridiculous to call a Europe-only release "international" as it is to call a Japan-only one that.

Europe has more than one nation.

Yeah, but you could fix that by changing the linkage between the blade and the engine; have the blade on its side and the engine still upright.

I actually like that one better. I mean yes, it's ridiculous, but at least it has a little more personality. Also, I cannot stress enough how off-putting that mint green light on the first one is to me. *Edit* - To be clear, I don't /like/ either one.

The whole idea behind the Play-Create-Share initiative is players creating and providing the content to each other, so it's not /that/ far removed from things they've already done. You don't necessarily have to monetize the player content itself if you use it as an enticement for people to buy the software.

I bet you could rig that chainsaw with some kind of stand that would let it swivel side to side and use it to chop down trees. Also:

I played them all on Xbox at/near their releases (played DA on both Xbox and 360), and loved them all. So yeah, there was a really obvious change to Conviction, but I hadn't really noticed the much more gradual change from SC1->DA until I went back to try to play SC1 again.

The shape is certainly better for sticking under a TV, but everything else about the design is awful.

Yeah, it's hideous. The color of the LED is the worst part about it.

If it's Japan only in what sense is it the international version?
