‘PS4 will out-power most PCs for years to come’
Riiiiight. So this guy thinks that a console with 8GB of RAM can thwart most PC’s for years to come.
It’s a perfect fit for the types of games we do, and we are confident that we’ll bring open-world gaming to a whole new level because of it. I’m glad Sony decided to go with 8gb RAM because it means that the PS4 will out-power most PC’s for years to come.
The specs are better compared to other consoles. But to compare this to PC’s? My laptop and desktop both laugh in their general direction.
Beware of unofficial steam boxes.
There is one being made called the Xi3 Piston, starting at a low price of $1,000 or $1,750. Which come equipped with 8GB of RAM, a 3.2 Ghz Quad Core processor.
Not a pretty price. Hell even a $600 gaming laptop has better equipment. 
Fuck, people buy consoles because they’re cheap, No sense in turning them off at the price tag.
I hope people don’t confuse these unofficial ones with Valve’s Steambox.
Oh god not again. Justin Bieber has another fragrence
Yes, you too can smell like Justin Bieber’s vagina… errr I mean girlfriend.
Sunday Morning Open Thread
Prepared for a long day tomorrow. Going to charge the laptop while I sleep, and charge the mp3 player via the laptop. Also I have my lunch prepared. Seasoned surimi and sushi rice with some kimchi and wasabi in one of my bento boxes.
Time to go to sleep I guess.
New Tomb Raider is addictive!
Had a hard time putting it down tonight. The game is very cinematic AND challenges my hardware! Runs ok on ultimate setting, but I’ll have to turn it down if I want to do any recording. Haven’t installed it on my laptop yet since I’ve heard systems using NVidia are still buggy at the moment, but so far it’s been fun on my desktop. 😀 TressFX and all.
Off to work apparently.
For the last couple of days work has been trying to call me in on my days off. Today I finally called back in and got 4 hours of work (heading out soon for it). They seem annoyed that I wait several hours to call. They don’t seem to understand that I have a life outside of work, and that I can’t be “on call” and if they try they’ll either get me or they won’t pure and simple. For fucks sake I’m not going to glue myself to the phone in hopes of maybe getting called in. They don’t pay me enough to be “on call” like a doctor.
My company schedules people like Wal-Mart schedules their stock. Not very well.
EA wants microtransactions in all of their new releases.
“The digital business is broken up into a couple of pieces, one is pure digital downloads of full games,” Jorgensen said during an investor conference call last Tuesday. “The next, and much bigger piece is microtransactions within games. So, to the extent that as [EA CTO Rajat Taneja] said, we’re building into all of our games the ability to pay for things along the way, either to get to a higher level, to buy a new character, to buy a truck, a gun; whatever it might be. And consumers are enjoying and embracing that way of the business.”
Most games with microtransactions are usually supported on the Free to play model, or have a supportive community and developer. Grab the popcorn folks!
