Ok, now that you read the article… OK Wait, what was all these hype by AMD that their Barcelona architecture will own Intel by 40%? Ahhhh I get it. It is the NEW AMD marketing strategy. Just look at the HD2900 where they hyped and under delivered. Thunder strikes again? Then All AMD has to do is blame the competition for unfair practices, fanbois rejoiced and followed mindlessly. Weeeee. Yay AMD makes the best chips! eventhough it is slower and less efficient! YAY.

One of the biggest fanboi response is to buy AMD to keep competition alive, but no way I am going to spend money on crappy products. if it sucks, let it die. Another will popup to take on the giants in the field. How about awakening the giant? Can you say… Larrabee?

5-600 dollars plus a 60 dollar a month plan minimum, on top of a 24 month service agreement. Ya… How is Apple going to sell 10 million of these.
Ignoring taxes for a bit, 60*24+500 = 1940. Whoa? Did the is the iPhone suddenly more expensive than it originally appears? On top of it, it tries to lock you into AT&T service and iTune (you need it to activate your phone!?!??!!?). Sorry but no thanks. Steve, you can take that phone and shove it where the sun don’t shine

I almost died laughing watching this

Well, Xbox360 controller for windows isn’t a bad invention. I mean, i use it and are quite happy with it. Here comes the problem: the dumbing down of computer games to console level. While there is some overlap of console gamer and computer gamer, the expectation of the gamers are a little different. On the console, you have no choice but the controller to interact with the games. In contrast, there are a plethora of choices for inputs on a computer. Looking at the 2 opening links makes me sigh. Those are computer games dumbed down for the sake of consoles. Shadowrun’s multiplayer implemented a stupid autoaim to balance the console and PC users. Yes, PC users have a definite advantage with mouse and keyboard, but why screw with our joy for the sake of balancing with console players? Sure it may be nice to play with friend’s on consoles, but it takes away too much of a shooter’s enjoyment.

Then there is the Overload type of dumbing down. Computer’s input should be primarily keyboard and mouse, unless it is truly unsuitable, such as a driving games and such. So having a tight control scheme built on the KB&M is important. Don’t dumb it down to controller level by default. If we want to play with a controller, we’d have bought a console instead. So, you computer game programmers, please think about keyboard and mouse before working on the controller. DAMMIT, this is why i prefer computer games and please don’t strip down my enjoyment of the game because some n000000bs are t3h sux with keyboard and mouse. Let them learn instead of punishing the rest of us with a stupid interface to the game.

Ya I still like my xbox360 controller I do wish the thumbsticks feel as good as a Dualshock one though. i don’t like the weird flip of the hat switch and the left thumbstick. it just feels too weird, coming from years of being on a Dualshock.

• lost all semblance of motivation. If you find mine, please fedex it to me asap
• HD2900 still sucks. Better drives ploz :ο~
• click me: open source videocard drivers? HOKAY, most windoze system instabilities are caused by shitty drivers written by people with deadline and a budget. In keeping with my rebooting once every other month or more tradition, I’ll stick with my “crappy” closed source drivers. Thanks.

PS2, Note on the 2nd item. Respect people’s choice as seen on the bottom most paragraph. That is one thing you cannot say about Christians. People are individuals. Respect people’s wish, for better or worse. Being godless doesn’t make people rude or selfish. Being an asshole does. And yes, it is quite possible being an asshole and a Christian at the same time. Look in the mirror before you pass a judgment next time. If you believe in god or God and follow it truly, good for you. Remember to separate the rituals from the beliefs. Remember the reason for the decision and not to follow blindly. I really shouldn’t say this, but this is my blog Christians: do as I say, not as I do Ok that is off my chest… and no. no stereotyping there HOKAY?!
PS3, I want one for folding@home :ο~

but please take JSP down with me
