    Notch: Windows 8 Could Be "Very Very Bad" for Indies

    Firstly, Google has made their own OS. Two in fact. Called Android and Chrome OS. And they both run on top of Linux. Secondly, desktop Linux being complicated to use is an argument 4 years outdated. Check out Ubuntu 12.04 adn you'll find an incredibly easy to use, feature rich operating system...

    Notch: Windows 8 Could Be "Very Very Bad" for Indies

    Linux has been dominating every other facet of computing for years now. Servers, mostly Linux. Smart phones, mostly Linux. Super computers, Over 90% Linux. It's always been inevitable that at some point the OS made by humanity itself would take over the desktop as well, and it's finally ready to...

    Rumor: Windows 8 Will Play Xbox 360 Games

    The Xbox360 uses a PowerPC based processor which is binary incompatible with X86 Processors without a recompile (and probably a re-factor of certain chunks of code). Unless they found a way to emulate PowerPC processor tech without the 10x increase in performance required for emulation, this...

    Minecraft Developer Working on New Game

    Halloween update is here, and trust me when I say keep a weapon with you at all times (even in the normal world). Also, don't attack the zombie pigs in the Nether, they swarm (the nether is freaky).

    Bioshock and Oblivion for xbox? Bout time I got em.

    Get Oblivion for PC. The sheer number of mods plus the Unofficial patches add so much value it's ridiculous. Any half decent computer built within the last 4 years can run Oblivion. Heck I could build one that runs it at high graphics for $300 easy. And if you were to only get one mod...

    New Gaming Graphics Card

    http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gts-450-radeon-hd-4850-gpu,2732-2.html This should be a good indicator. On the last page there is a hierarchy chart that will fill in the gaps if you find alternatives that are priced well. Edit: I personally have a Nvidia Geforce 9800gt which...

    So I just played the Amnesia: The Dark Descent demo and...

    it is AWESOME!!! If you like horror try it out. I don't want to post any spoilers (spoilers for a demo?) but you need to try it for yourself. http://amnesiagame.com/#demo Post your opinions when you're done.

    QuakeCon 2010: Carmack Ushers in the Age of Optimization

    Has anyone found the video of the keynote anywhere? I've been looking for it for about an hour and if it's there it's hiding well.

    Rumor: The Old Republic's Space Combat Lacks Freedom [UPDATED]

    Dangit Bioware! We already have 2 minigames (Pazaak and Pod racing), we don't need a third! Just give me freelancer (with maybe some stat building) and I'll be a happy boy. Give me an action set piece and I'll be less inclined to pay for a subscription (Max I would pay WITH freelancer-esque...

    Poll: Which Star Wars: The Old Republic pricing model would you prefer?

    I'm personally on the fence with this. On the one hand, the game looks phenomenal and really has me interested. On the other hand I have a tight budget and a paid subscription pretty much rules out a game altogether for me. If it meant I could play a game for free I'd take some non-intrusive Ads...

    Poll: Do you believe humans are apes?

    Well to clarify then. I believe that we are as different (if not more) from apes as monkeys are from apes, similar but should be classified differently. But really. Who cares.

    Poll: Do you believe humans are apes?

    I voted no not because I don't believe in evolution but because we are only related by ancestry to apes. Apes are not our lower forms. They grew in parallel to us. We did not come from apes but from some other animal with an earlier stage in evolution. We branched off quite a long time ago.
